This album is based on the writings of General Sun Tsu, the celebrated military tactician from ancient China. Just as Sun Tsu’s Art of War book has 13 chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of warfare, the album has 13 tracks – each telling of a different historical battle. Some of Sabaton’s most popular anthems, such as Ghost Division and 40:1, are found on this album.
• Sabaton fact: The Art of War was Sabaton’s first true concept album and set the creative direction their future works would come to take.

Sabaton is a five-piece metal band from Sweden. Combining soaring power riffs with distinctive deep vocals, their lyrics focus on the exploits of war, from ancient historical battles to modern acts of heroism. Their electrifying live show – which features a full-sized and firing tank – has won numerous industry accolades, while two of their eight studio albums are certified platinum sellers.
