"In 1916, The Battle of Verdun (known as Operation Judgement by the Germans) was the longest single battle of the war lasting for 303 days. The first day of the battle began with a 10-hour bombardment of over 1 million artillery shells by the Germans, the rumble of which could be heard almost 100 miles away. The concentration of so much fighting in such a small area for so long devastated the land, resulting in miserable conditions for troops on both sides. Rain combined with the constant tearing up of the ground turned the clay of the area to a wasteland of mud full of human remains. Shell craters filled with water, becoming so slippery that troops who fell or took cover in them could drown if they couldn’t climb out.

Defensive positions were gained and lost on a daily basis and neither side could maintain the upper hand; the village of Fleury changed hands sixteen times and by the end of the battle was deemed uninhabitable. Eight other nearby villages were erased from the face of the earth that year. The nine martyr villages of the Verdun ridge were officially designated as “villages that died for France,” six of which remain uninhabited.

Due to such costly battles along the western front, France was forced to conscript men up to the age of 45, fathers and sons fought and died side-by-side in Verdun. At great cost and under the rallying cry “They shall not pass!” France successfully defended Verdun from the Germans. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the war with over 700,000 combined casualties." Sabaton, Fields of Verdun

The only downside is this is SO good that it's basically ruined the original for me lmao. Keep up the great work! I love this. Please do Smoking Snakes. I think that song is begging for it.

The climax really puts the 'climax' in climax

This is 10x more bombastic, has more moving parts, and yet nothing is lost in the mix. Amazing. The whole album deserves this treatment. Sabaton should hire you.

I was about to report it as clickbait cause I thought Fields of Verdun just couldn't get any more epic.
I listened and now I'm crying since its even more epic than the original.
Well done pals. You guys should totally be working with Sabaton!

As the drum roll started on that day
Heard a hundred miles away
A million shells were fired
And the green fields turned to grey
The bombardment lasted all day long
Yet the forts were standing strong
Heavily defended
Now the trap's been sprung and the battle has begun
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun
Nowhere to run, father and son
Fall one by one under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done), and the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run, father and son
Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
Though a million shells have scarred the land
No one has the upper hand
From the ground above to trenches
Where the soldiers make their stand
As the trenches slowly turn to mud
And then quickly start to flood
Death awaits in every corner
As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun
Nowhere to run, father and son
Fall one by one under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done), and the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run, father and son
Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass
Thou shalt go no further it was said, "They shall not pass!"
The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
So go ahead, face the lead, join the dead
Though you die where you lie, never asking why
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun
Nowhere to run, father and son
Fall one by one under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done), and the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run, father and son
Fall one by one, fields of Verdun

I especially love that it doesn't over-do it as many other covers do. Amazing quality and a great mix!

Came here from General of Chaos’s Clone Wars AMV

Thanks for putting this together, MWO. So happy that this version exists

hoopchristine

Don’t know why but the sharp notes of metal and the soothing orchestra is a near perfect combo

josecolon

The orchestra adds so much value.. Insane

Attack of the Dead men next, please! I can just imagine how orchestral components would flow with the song.

jezchantler

Its actually really good. But it loses its depressed WW1 vibe, and its more of the Triumph part of the battle
