Sharing his insight on the track, singer Joakim Brodén says: “Our new song ‘Father’ is a dark track about a very controversial person. Fritz Haber, the man who weaponized lethal gas, is responsible for about four billion people being alive today thanks to the Haber-Bosch process that he won a Nobel Prize for. It takes some serious thought to wrap your head around his story. Things aren’t always easy to understand or simply black and white, but rather all shades of grey. ‘Father’ really forces you to think a bit more than the average song you hear on the radio.”

The songs on the second EP in the collection, “Heroes Of The Great War”, are a nod to some of the Great War’s fearless heroes who left a legacy worthy of a thousand songs. Men and women pushed themselves to their physical and psychological limits, accomplishing almost superhuman things. In this EP, SABATON pays tribute to heroes whose unique stories resonated with the band, and whose narratives are truly inspiring.

The third EP in the series, “Stories From The Western Front”, features songs about some of the most gripping tales from one of World War 1’s main theatres of war. These stories, some of which are unimaginable in this day and age, depict the chaos, danger, and instability soldiers faced daily, fighting in the name of their countries.

For the sake of atmospheric continuity and staying true to the sound of both “The Great War” and “The War To End All Wars” albums, SABATON has continued to work with Black Lounge Studios — more notably Jonas Kjellgren, the band’s longtime producer and recording engineer.

The three new EP releases will be available on all major digital music services. SABATON will also release an exclusive, limited-edition digipak with every EP.

A few weeks ago, SABATON announced its first full-length movie “The War To End All Wars” that the band has been working on for two years together with Yarnhub animation studios. “The War To End All Wars” is a cohesive, thought-provoking, and emotionally charged piece with a heavy focus on storytelling. It features members of the band, both in real life and animated, and a lot of research and effort has been put into it to ensure it depicts history in the most accurate way possible — this is something that the band is very passionate about.

SABATON had a dream of creating something entertaining but with great educational value, and that dream has become a reality after two years of hard work.
