Heroes - седьмой студийный альбом шведской пауэр-метал группы Sabaton, выпущенный 16 мая 2014. Это - первый альбом группы в новом составе с гитаристами Крисом Рёландом и Тоббе Энглундом, а также с новым барабанщиком Ханнесом Ван Далом.

Carolus Rex посвящён Тридцатилетней и Северной войнам, а также королю Швеции Карлу Двенадцатому и его военным походам.

Так же были записаны 2 песни, «Far From the Fame» и «Harley From Hell» (последняя вошла в сборник Metalus Hammerus Rex), не вошедшие в альбом по причине другой тематики текста, не подходящей под тему концептуального альбома. Бонусом к альбому были записаны 3 кавера на песни таких групп, как Amon Amarth, Rammstein и Status Quo.

Leftfield are a product of their time, but it’s hard not to romanticise their legacy. Leftism — their ’95 debut — felt thoroughly ahead of its time. Its fusion of dub, house and trance-tribalism still resonates across dancefloors today. And 1999 follow-up, Rhythm And Stealth — arguably their most complete work — played intoxicating industrial beats off against searing techno. The LP’s key track infiltrating our homes via iconic advertising; ‘Phat Planet’ etched unwittingly onto the national psyche, through the clout of brand-name stout.

It was released on Polydor Records in the UK, peaking at #11, and on Warner Bros. in the US where it peaked at #8 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.

The first full-length album by Greek Hard'n'Heavy/Power Metal band.

Attractive vocal melodies, combined with grooving beats and thrilling solos, are the most powerful features of the album.

Two members of the groundbreaking mid 1970s King Crimson line-up unite on a fascinating album length exploration of a melody - composed by David Cross and Robert Fripp - that emerged as one of the key themes on the King Crimson masterpiece, Starless.
The melody resurfaced in two improvisations performed and recorded by Fripp in 2006 and these recordings plus the Starless theme itself were subsequently transformed and augmented by David Cross.
