    Charles XII, sometimes Carl XII (Swedish: Karl XII) or Carolus Rex (17 June 1682 - 30 November 1718 O.S.), was King of Sweden (including current Finland) from 1697 to 1718. ... Leading the Swedish army against the alliance Charles won multiple victories despite being usually significantly outnumbered. And he was only 15 years when he became King!

      @@Killermcknight on one side you have 10k swedish professional soldiers. On the other, 40k russians. Battle took place in a blizzard. 10k russian soldiers were killed and 20k captured. Swedish losses: 667 men. Karl XII(carolus rex) was a military genius on par with Napoleon, he is one of the most unheard military geniuses throughout european history for most people.
      Carolus personally often led his own battles with the men. Some battles he was in the first line with his troops. He won battle after battle while often being outnumbered 4 to 1. His tiny yet highly professional army faced Denmark, Norway, Russia, Poland-Lithuania and Saxony with no allies while still holding the countries borders relatively intact. He was/is the last king in europe that died on the field of battle. It was the end of the swedish empire, which at the time was one of the most powerful countries just after England, France and Spain.

      As a native Swede i can obviously not demand people to learn Swedish (or can i🤔😈). Sabaton's Swedish songs is the best.
      'En livstid i krig, live in Goethenburg' is the best but 'Carolus Rex' has a 9 year old fan video still worth a watch (in Swedish with English subtitles and ripped movie sequences).
      'I was chosen by heaven. My crown doesn't come from the church. It comes from God' (right or wrong, it is powerful). Spoken by a 15 y old king in war with 5 countries.

    Welcome into the world of Sabaton. I really enjoy watching ppl discovering them. You chose a really good album to start with.The whole albums are epic, and I say albums because you are correct. Carolus Rex was released both as a Swedish- and English speaking album. The swedish is written from a more personal perspective, which leads me to a recommendation. You really need to watch the swedish version of a lifetime of war from that album and you need to watch the live video.

    They got tons of great songs and except for one album, all their songs are about historic events or people, without taking sides.
    "40 to 1", "Aces In Exile", "Coat Of Arms", "Firestorm", "Ghost Division", "Midway", "Nightwitches", "Talvisota", "The Art of War", "The Price Of A Mile", "Wehrmacht", "White Death", "Winged Hussars" are all a little older.
    They did a cover here and there, like "You´re in the Army now" or "Twilight Of The Thunder God" (both are IMHO at least on par with the original).

    With what you said here, it feels like you are gonna love Sabaton. :)
    They have a few things that they "always" do, their choruses are extremely catchy, pretty much made for the audience to sing along with. And also, they always make sure that the music fits the story. All the music. As you noticed here, the solo was perfect for the song, thats the way they always do it, no single part of it is ever allowed to overshadow the whole.
    Since you asked about if this was about a real king, they always sing about real history. As someone from the band said a bunch of years ago, "Why should we try to come up with our own stories when there are so many amazing stories out there that nobody tells?" :)
    And also, when I write "always" here, that is not entirely true, their first album was not history based, but all the rest are, and also, they have changed their music, early in their career they had a pretty much standard power metal sound with history based lyrics on top, in the last couple of albums they have found their style.

    First note: Joakim Bröden voice sounds the same in studio as live.
    You want a change of pace; check "Screaming Eagles", official music video. Then go live. I recommend Woodstock, Poland 2012 for starters. The opener "Ghost Division", "UPRISING", "Primo Victoria", and absolutely "40 : 1". Over 700 000 people attended this venue,mostly polish, but people from all over Europe come to see Sabaton. And then... well you got your work cut out for you. They sing about historical events or real hero's of all world battles. They also have Sabaton History Channel were history behind each song is explained. It's worth checking.
    O, and if you really want to dive into Sabaton, you better set a separate day to react to their songs. It's 20 years of their work. Have fun.🤘🇵🇱

    On the presumption no one's said it before, you should listen to the Swedish version of this album "Carolus Rex". I'd argue its better than the English version, and the songs are done from the Swedish prespective and can be darker lyrically. Like "1648" (English) is from the Czech prespective, "1648" (Swedish) is from the Swedish; "Killing Ground" (English) is a "nicer" version, whereas "Ett Slag Fargot Rott" is darker talking about chasing down the fleeing enemy and slaughtering them.
    Also, the album "Heroes" is really good for a mix of songs about various heroes of WW2; American (Screaming Eagles), Pole (40:1), Brazilian (Smoking Snakes), Czech (Far From the Fame), etc.
