Sabaton - Carolus Rex (Platinum Edition) [2CD] (New CD)

Sabaton are excited to reveal that 2012's Carolus Rex has reached quadruple platinum status in their home country Sweden. The concept album - which is the band'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 certifica- tion comes exactly 300 years after the king's death in 1718! The band will be presented with their quadruple platinum disc later this year, when Carolus Rex will take it's place as one of Sweden's most successful home-grown rock albums.
