It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

Swedish band Sabaton have been a major force in the power metal field since the mid-00s, but had to battle through significant difficulties to get there, which may explain their eventual creative obsession with everything war-related. Originally founded in 1999 and comprised of Joakim Brodén (vocals and keyboards), Rickard Sundén (guitar), Oskar Montelius (guitar), Daniel Myhr (keyboards, beginning in 2006), Pär Sundström (bass), and Richard Larsson (drums), the enterprising group quickly produced two demo tapes that were later released in a limited edition as Fist for Fight in 2002. But after inking a deal with Italian label Underground Symphony, Sabaton saw their first would-be official album, Metalizer, inexplicably held out of the marketplace for a full two years (it, too, would belatedly reach the public in 2007). Tired of waiting, the members of Sabaton (now including new drummer Daniel Mullback), once again took matters into their own hands, and financed the recording of another album, Primo Victoria, which was officially released in 2005 by the Black Lodge label. It also opened the floodgates for a slew of popular singles and battle metal LPs to follow, including 2006's Attero Dominatus, 2008's The Art of War, and 2010's Coat of Arms, all of them bursting at the seams with historic and mythical chronicles of battle set to anthemic power metal. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
It's so cool to still have Metal Bands like Sabaton around. I'm 48, so I've been around awhile. They are definately a blend of everything I love about Metal. I just wish my friends could appreciate it
This is now my favorite band topping Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, ACDC, Aerosmith, Papa Roach and tonnns of others. I love this band not only because the music as the most absolutely amazing band EVER, but its a history lesson as well as music hahaha. the combination of pauses and backup vocals at points makes it amazing!
Hmm... their bio states Primo Victoria was released in 2005, yet the selected discography says it was released in 2011. I sense a contradiction or a re-release.

Definitely a different band with a hard metal bend. Much needed in the PC world of elevator music. Can hardly wait for them to do a song about the demise of OBL.
Yeah, Pandora messed up the colors somehow. Also, I'd love to see The Art of War here, it's a great album. Gallipoli, Panzerkampf and The Price of a Mile are awesome songs, and the rest are great too.
My initiation to SABATON was Panzer Batallion and Purple Heart. Well that should be saying my 'infection' started with these two songs. Being military myself this is the sort of music that I would listen to before going on missions...ya know get the blood pumping, emo punching, talibama killing attitude screaming at a 160 db in my head. Been there three times and still BANGIN!! SABATON is second to MANOWAR in my opinion. BACK IN CONTROL!! Hail, Hail, Hail and KILL!!
