Melodic metal act Amaranthe are paying tribute to their upcoming tour partners, Sabaton, by releasing a cover version of their song ’82nd All The Way.’ The track is from Sabaton latest album, ‘The Great War,’ and tells the story of Alvin York, one of World War I’s most decorated soldiers, and his extraordinary actions on Hill 223.
Olof Mörck comments:
People who are familiar with AMARANTHE know that we do not frequently do covers, but there was something quite irresistible about interpreting SABATON’s ’82nd All The Way’! While being thematically different from most of our songs, musically it made perfect sense, and it was a joy to pick the song apart and put it back together to something classically AMARANTHE sounding! So, this is our small tribute to the mighty Swedish War Machine that is SABATON; ’82nd All The Way’!
