Sabaton reveal Carolus Rex artwork and tack listing

Sabaton have revealed the official artwork and track listing for their upcoming album ‘Carolus Rex’ which will be released on the 25th May by Nuclear Blast.

The albums lyrical content is focussed on the Swedish Empire (referring to the Kingdom of Sweden between 1561 and 1721) and will be sung in Swedish. The band commented: “For the first time ever we have had an expert to help us out with the theme, the well-known Swedish historian Bengt Liljegren. We have also added some extra time in the studio to find the absolute right sound on ‘Carolus Rex’, and our producer, Peter Tägtgren, says that this album will mark a brand new standard for how a heavy metal album should sound like!”
