Oh, yes! The story behind it is completely mental. I like it very much.

So many people forget to pronounce the "e". Of course, no one can expect people to always be correct — foreign languages are always difficult, after all! — but trying to get someone's name right is always the polite thing to do.

2022-02-19 07:51:22 +0000 UTCI second this. As an atheist, this is where "The Sabaton Effect" really gets me: the fact that you can understand people on "wrong" side of history, feel an almost a patriotic pride when people from another country rise up against oppression, beat the odds, or will put humanity first before all else. For me, that's, well, obviously Germany, but also religion. I'm pretty hard-core in my atheist worldview, so The Last Stand and The Carolean's Prayer took me really off-guard the first time I heard them. It's all about the people fighting to protect their beliefs or the simple soldiers, who are as drawn into a ruthless war as much as the civilians, but who do their best to survive. Maybe The Carolean's Prayer hits extra hard because it's about the Swedish Carolean's; it's part of the history of my own country and the fact that Sabaton has brought to light the fairly unknown history of The Swedish Empire pleases me immensely. People know about lots of empires, but The Swedish Empire isn't ever talked about, really. I'm just guessing now, but I deduce, from your handle, that you are Swedish, @AndreasGaming97? — Not that it matters, I'm just curious.
