Sabaton, a Heavy Metal band with a thing for songs dealing with historical events, have released a song just in time for the holidays. The song commemorates the Christmas Truce of 1914 during the First World War, during which a spontaneous cease fire broke out December 24th through the 26th on the Western Front.
And today we’re all brothers
Tonight we’re all friends
A moment of peace in a war that never ends
And so in the spirit of the holidays...
This song is "Christmas Truce" by Sabaton. It was just released as a single on October 28th. I think they have an album coming out soon, but as I type this I can't remember if they've announced a date/name for that album.
There is an official video, that is supposed to depict life in the trenches - though there is not enough mud everywhere. Like most official videos, I find it distracting. If you're interested it is easy enough to find. (A YT search will probably list it as your first choice.)
New album The War To End All Wars drops 4 Mar 2022. https://www.sabaton.net/news/music/pre-order-new-album-the-war-to-end-all-wars/
