Formed in 1999 in the city of Falun, the Swedish band Sabaton has distinguished itself on the international scene through songs with historical and military themes. With lyrics that address various wars and military conflicts throughout the centuries, the group has been drawing thousands of fans around the world to its energetic live performances.
Sabaton has a special relationship with Brazil . The album Heroes (2014) features "Smoking Snakes," a song in homage to three soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) who fought bravely during World War II, complete with a chorus sung in Portuguese.
Aware of the educational potential of these songs, the publisher Estética Torta presents to the public Sabaton: Stories of War – a meticulous analysis of each of Sabaton's songs, dividing and cataloging each of these musical works in relation to the wars and historical events they narrate.
The work explores historical events and characters from the world of warfare in specific sections. Each chapter has a specific theme, linked to songs that address these subjects: World War I, World War II, The Rise and Fall of the Swedish Empire, Modern Wars, Wars of the Past, and War Personalities. The organization allows the reader to assimilate the book in a unique and effective way.
Written by music journalist Gustavo Maiato , the book is a veritable encyclopedia of historical popularization, which will not only elucidate dozens of details in Sabaton's music that may go unnoticed by Brazilian listeners, but will also serve as historical instruction for thousands of heavy metal fans.
With approximately 300 pages, written with historical rigor and a fan's passion, Sabaton: War Stories arrives in October in two formats: a deluxe version, limited to 199 copies, with a hardcover and trilateral camouflage-colored painting, and an economical paperback version. Both options can be pre-ordered on the publisher's website, with a 20% discount using the coupon SABATON20, available in limited quantities.
