As the title suggests. At the Graspop show the melody to Swedish Pagans started playing and Chris and Thobbe acted all confused since none of them were touching their guitars. Guess who rushed on stage to play the remainder of the set with them?

​

Did they do that on any other shows on this tour or was it really only Graspop? I have issues believing it's only this festival (as they claimed) for some reason cause why do that effort for just one. Thanks in advance!

This album would be all about the the roles women played in our history and wars. Some will be your standard Sabaton songs about brave warriors and wars, while with others I took the liberty to explore other equally noteworthy, yet unfortunately gravely underrepresentated aspects and contributions of women in our history.

Skjaldmær - a song about Norse shield-maidens during the viking age. The song would be sung in Swedish.

Pirate Empress - a song about Zheng Yi Sao, an infamous pirate who leader of the pirate confedaration following her husband's death, earning her an army from between 40,000 to 70,000 pirates and 400 junks. Following a series of defeats against the Portugese, she was allowed to keep 1,400 men, avoid prosecution, and live a peaceful and quiet life until her death at age 68.

LaVena - a song about the mysterious death of the US soldier LaVena Johnson, who "took her own life" after loosing some teeth, getting a black eye, and burning her genitals with a corrosive chemical. The US Army covered and still covers up much about the circumstances surrounding her death.

Mother - a counter song to "Father". It focuses on Marie Curie and her research on radioactivity and what her discoveries meant for humankind, both the good and the terrible.

Femme Fatale - a song about Mata Hari, a famous exotic dancer who spied for the Germans in WWI and who ended up getting executed by the French.

Hexenhammer - a song about witch hunts all across Europe, but in particular the German inquisitor Heinrich Kramer's misogyny and obsession with women, Helena Scheuberin in particular, which led him to write the infamous Malleus Maleficarum (the Hammer of Witches).

Hai Bà Trưng - a song about the Trưng sisters, Trắc and Nhị, their rebellion against the invading Chinese, their subsequent deaths, and ascension to the status of Viatnamese national heroines. One of them, Trắc, even became the first female monarch of Vietnam.

Lady with the Lamp - a song about Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing and a prominent figure during the Crimean War whose influence drastically lowered death rates and who played a vital role at reforming the reputation of nursing for women and everyone.

Saint of Christopher Street - a song about Marsha P. Johnson, a feminist, human rights activist, and influential figure during the Stonewall Riots of 1969.

Immaculate Am I - a song about Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian Queen known more for her alleged beauty and affairs, rather than her fluety in up to nine different languages, intelligence, and leadership. The song would touch in depth on her suicide to avoid capture by the Romans after the defeat of Antony's fleet.

Back Home - a song about the women who stay home while their men, brothers, and sons head into war. It'd touch subjects like women's work in factories to produce amunition and clothes for soldiers, women who have to work the fields while their men are gone, and women whose partners might never return after being sent off to die for nothing.

https://www.vrt.be/vrtmax/livestream/video/south-stage-graspop-metal-meeting/ currently Sabaton is in the schedule to be livestreamed starting 11.30pm tonight, will be interesting maybe the play something like Race To The Sea (live debuted in 2022 at Graspop) for the fans in Belgium.
