Thanks to dalen_talas for today's track, a fun power metal romp made up of other bands' song titles and lyrics. Good stuff, and since Sabaton specializes in military-orientated songs, I'm definitely going to pick up some of their stuff. How can you resist a band that does an entire album drawn from Sun Tzu's Art of War?

From Wikipedia:

Sabaton are a Grammis-nominated power metal band from Falun, Sweden formed in 1999. The band's main lyrical theme is that of historical wars. This can be heard on the albums Primo Victoria and Attero Dominatus where all of the songs, except the final tracks, take inspiration from a historical battle or war, such as the song "Counterstrike", which refers to the Six-Day War. Lyrical content drawn from World War II is most prevalent, and includes songs about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, resistance movements in occupied Poland and Norway, the Battle of Berlin, the Winter War in Finland, and battles on the land, sea, and air. As of their later albums, the band has started to incorporate some elements of progressive metal.

Oh yeah, going to get me some of that. But in the meantime, enjoy one of three songs Sabaton has done in this theme. Off 2005's Primo Victoria, we present Metal Machine
