Sabaton - Rise of Evil (from Primo Victoria)

It's truly history geek metal, I love it. They do a series of history video clips now!  :lol:

It is the guy from the Great War channel! Cool!

Speaking of history geek metal - Iced Earth's Gettysburg trilogy is quite good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCSMK2dSUh4

I just listened to The National's new album I Am Easy To Find and it's easily already album of the year. Just stop all music for the rest of the year. This is as good as music gets.

Never knew that history geek metal was a "thing". Loving the recommendations.  :D

Still enjoying Sabaton too - Carolus Rex. I mean, how could anyone not love an entire concept album about Swedish involvement from the Thirty Years War through the Great Northern War?  :lol:

Historic subjects have long been popular in metal. Iron Maiden have been quite prolific:

Just came across this one wiki with regard to the 991 battle of Maldon between the Saxons and Vikings:

Quote
The English black metal band Winterfylleth have two songs in their album The Ghost of Heritage (2008) that remembers the Battle of Maldon (track 2: "The March to Maldon" (03:46) and track 3: "Brithnoth: The Battle of Maldon (991 AD)" (7:38)).

The Norwegian / German symphonic metal band Leaves' Eyes has a song called The Battle of Maldon on their 2009 EP, My Destiny.

I have the later track and it's quite a good song.

I don't know. :unsure:

I would recommend Fleshgod Apocalypse to anyone who likes metal mixed with orchestral sounds. A good introduction is this charming little tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjKyzwqIT7s
