There are also some great WWI-themed videogames, such as the multiplayer shooters “Verdun” and “Tannenberg”, recreating some fronts of the Great War. Sadly enough, and contrary to what was expected, this war was not the war to end all wars, but instead a preamble to an even worse war, World War II, claiming the lives of over 60 million people, the creation of concentration camps and development of the atomic bomb, still feared to this day.Ĭoming back to World War I, and for French speakers, we can recommend reading Céline’s “Voyage au bout de la nuit” (Journey to the End of the Night), as well as the comic books from Tardi, such as “C’était la guerre des tranchées”. The theme of the album is the Swedish Empire lyrical references are to the Kingdom of Sweden between 15 and are sung entirely in Swedish. As per usual with these kind of events, it is unknown exactly how many people died, with estimates ranging from less than 10 million to over 60 million victims, between military personnel and civilians. Swedish epic metallers SABATON will release their sixth studio album Carolus Rex in North America on May 22nd and in Europe on May 25th.
World War I remains an important event, even one hundred years later, being one of the reasons for the start of World War II, but also for being one of the worst wars taking place on the European continent. And here’s the link to see the band’s announcement, as well as the new merch related to the new album.
