That sounds great.' Everybody is super happy with the production. I say it's up to the listener to decide that, but I know for a fact that everybody in the band, without even sitting in the same room together, because I sort of shipped out the pre-mixes to everyone, and everybody - this is the only time in our history this has happened - everybody came back with, 'Fuck. 'I think it's pathetic when an artist goes, 'It's the best album we've ever made,' and they keep promoting the same tired line.

I'm actually listening to and approving the master of the new album right now.

There's gonna be surprises on every album. There's always surprises on a SABATON album but we're never gonna flip the coin and do something totally different on every song on a new album. We've been an evolutionary band always and not a revolutionary band. In a new interview with Canada's The Metal Voice, SABATON frontman Joakim Brodén said about the musical direction of the band's new material (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): 'It's very much a SABATON album in that way. There are still so many stories from World War One to be told. 'We believe there's more to discover in this particular moment of history. We will focus once again on the beginning of the 20th century. Will it again be Swedish history? The American Civil War, the story of Napoleon, or maybe the Crusades? Since then we've all been trying to decide on the next chapter of our storytelling. 'Two years have passed since the release of our latest album 'The Great War', a concept album telling stories from World War I.

The band stated about the upcoming disc: 'For almost two decades we have been singing about historical battles and wars from all over the world. Swedish metallers SABATON have announced their new album 'The War To End All Wars'.
