So let’s dive into the album, starting from the “King Of The Sun”. Also, as you probably guessed from the band name CIVIL WAR, the lyricism mainly focuses on the American Civil War. Closing these guys together in a room, what do you think will happen? “The Killer Angels” happened.Īs you probably guessed already from the SABATON connection what kind of music you are about to listen to, CIVIL WAR are playing what we like to refer to as War Metal, meaning Power Metal with traditional Heavy Metal spiced up with lyrics mainly about wars scouring the history of mankind. Furthermore, Pizza, the bass player, has his fair share of past bands, which some of them are known like CRYONIC TEMPLE. In addition, for the frontman position, an amazing vocalist was selected, probably one of the top voices in the past decade in Metal, and please excuse me Jorn Lande, but I’m talking about Nils Patrik Johansson, known of his earlier works with many bands including ASTRAL DOORS, LION’S SHARE, RUINED SOUL an WUTHERING HEIGHTS, at least for me WUTHERING HEIGHTS is the most important one. I wouldn’t want get to the debate about how successful are the supergroup in metal it’s off our topic.ĬIVIL WAR, formed in 2012 from the greater good of the mighty SABATON, Daniel Mullback, Oskar Montelius, Rikard Sundén and Daniel Mÿhr are all SABATON refuges that left in 2012.

What can you do, the moment you take many great and known artists in their field, putting them together, everyone develops major expectations. Supergroups, there are many debates about the supergroups issue, mainly because of the expectations from such bands.
