Carolus Rex

Limited three CD plus double Blu-ray edition. Includes expanded English version of the album, Swedish version and more. Sabaton's 2012 album, Carolus Rex, has been certified quadruple platinum in the band's home country of Sweden. The concept effort - which is the group's biggest success to date - charts the rise and fall of the Swedish Empire, in particular the life of Charles XII ("Carolus Rex") who ruled it for 21 years. In an amazing coincidence, the album's quadruple platinum certification comes exactly 300 years after the king's death in 1718.
