It will be interesting to hear Sabaton sing about their own history for a change. And seeing as the lyrics will be in Swedish I'm pretty sure they're gonna be better (or at least seem better) than their past lyrics.

Two year long world tour? Are you serious?

Hmm...The magical Google translator only works for about half the song titles.

Less coherent than Anal Cunt.

Eric Brecht once liked my Facebook comment. Therefore, by the translative property, Chuck Schuldiner like my comment.

"Lejonet från Norden" probably refers to King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. The only Swedish king that got the appendix "the great"
1648 refers to the peace of the 30 year long war in Westfalden, a war that Gustavus Adolphus entered 1630, but died on the battle field of Lützen 1632

"En livstid i krig" means "A lifetime in war".

I would guess "Ett Slag Färgat Rött" refers to the battle of Lund, fought between Denmark and Sweden in around 1670. The casualties on both sides were very high.

the news, since I'm studying Swedish and almost all about its history, plus I'm super crazy about Sabaton/power metal, so this should better be amazing : D
