Invaders | CD | Civil War

Comes in a limited digisleeve with a bonus track.

The Swedish power metal band CIVIL WAR is back with their brand new fourth album, Invaders, which will be released on June 17, 2022. Formed by former members of Sabaton, the Swedes now present 10 new anthems that tell the shocking war stories of suffering and tumultuous triumphs from all over the world. Invaders captivates with thrilling narratives of Viking invasions, the greed of powerful nations, legendary American battles, and the magical Arthurian myth. These ancient tales are told through dynamic vocals and epic soundscapes. Invaders is also the band's first album with new frontman Kelly Sundown Carpenter and guitarist Thobbe Englund (ex-Sabaton). The first song is the captivating 'Oblivion,' which catapults the listener into another world with its anthemic sound, powerful vocals, and heavy guitar riffs. Full of epic, symphonic power, the album continues with the anthem 'Dead Man's Glory,' which tells the story of the Irish resistance against the Viking invasion. The album presents more stories of legendary victories and great corruption in the fast-paced 'Invaders' and the accusatory 'Heart of Darkness,' before 'Andersonville' describes the horrors of the Andersonville Prison through letters from a Union soldier to his wife. This song rises as a massive power ballad with overwhelming symphonic sound and emotional vocals. Invaders is rounded off with the fiery power metal highlight 'Battle Of Life.' This song is about persevering in difficult times and trusting in one's inner strength in times of need. The album concludes with the Western-inspired Heavy Metal battle cry 'Custer's Last Stand,' which impresses with Carpenter's passionate vocals, scorching guitar harmonies, keyboard fanfares, and resounding drums. With Invaders, CIVIL WAR once again prove that they have earned a solid place in modern power and Heavy Metal with their captivating lyrics and technical skill!
