Yesterday was one of the best nights in Sabaton history. the fans in Krakow was so loud that the PA in this big venue was not enough.
Almost one year ago we were in the same venue with Therion & Grave Digger. At that time the PA was enough, but when Sabaton came as headliner the Polish fans were simply too loud.
It was incredible.
-We salute you!
