“In The Army Now” (Single) by Sabaton

Artist: Sabaton
Title: “In The Army Now” (Single)
Label: Nuclear Blast Records
Release Date: 10/14/2016
Genre: Power Metal
Rating: 3.5/5

While they are laying waste to venues across the North American region, those mighty military minded Metal maniacs of Sabaton have surprised fans with the release of a brand new digital single called “In The Army Now”. The tune itself is a cover but one that is totally new to my ears so I have added the bands own comment about it before I continue.

“This hit song by the Dutch duo Bolland & Bolland was released already in 1982, and was also recorded by the British rock band Status Quo in 1986 and became a smash hit once again with high scores on many charts worldwide. During the years many other bands have also recorded their versions of this great song. We recorded it as a bonus track for the “Carolus Rex” album back in 2012.”

Before I played the track, I poked around Wikipedia and learned a bit about this point in Scottish history but will use what the band has provided first for your indulgence.
