Sometimes, the difference between bravery and insanity is indistinguishable: Over the course of four wars in six decades, Adrian Carton De Wiart proved himself to be the most unkillable soldier of all time. The Belgian-born British Army Officer survived several plane crashes, lost an eye and a hand, sustained eleven grievous injuries: He fully dedicated his life to military services. Whenever there was a war, Adrian Carton De Wiart was there. “Frankly, I had enjoyed the war”, he said – peacefully passing away at the age of 83 in 1963.
With their new single “The Unkillable Soldier“, SABATON pay tribute to this unique character of war history – in form of an epic anthem full of fantastic hooks, breathtaking guitar parts and once again a catchy tune. This tune surely will keep you whistling for some time after listening to this song!
Bassist Pär Sundström states about the song: “The story of Sir Adrian Carton De Wiart represents Sabaton in many ways, but especially because he never gave up in spite of what was thrown against him. We were really captured by the life of this interesting character who “Frankly enjoyed the war…”.
“The Unkillable Soldier” foreshadows the tenth masterpiece of SABATON, “The War To End All Wars“, that will be released on March 4th, 2022 via Nuclear Blast Records. Once again, SABATON will dive deep into the atrocities, miracles and happenings around WWI and take the listener to an emotional and exciting ride of 11 tracks. “The Unkillable Soldier” was preceded by the highly praised “Christmas Truce” and the massive hit “Soldier Of Heaven”.
