gebs Reviews hailed this as a master class in power metal and they weren't wrong. From battle chants to double-kick speed and balladry, these Swedes outclass their Italian counterparts. Favorite track: The Carolean's Prayer.

artemz Really great album. I hope there will be more albums about actions/wars/deeds/heroes of old.

P.s This is one of my favourite albums. (They all are)
Favorite track: Gott Mit Uns (English version).

tetraphosphate One of my favourite albums of all time, I listen to it on repeat often Favorite track: Long Live The King.

about

Recorded in two separate versions – English and Swedish – this album is considered by many to be Sabaton’s masterpiece. It is the band’s most epic album to date, telling with historical accuracy the history of the Swedish Empire – from its beginning in 1611 to its collapse more than a century later during the reign of King Charles XII, after whom the album is named.
• Sabaton fact: Carolus Rex has been certified quadruple platinum in the band’s native Sweden.

While I wouldn't consider it as good as their later works, I think it's worth the listen to hear the foundation not only of their musical style but also the universe they have constructed around their albums. ShakurasEnder
