“Resist and Bite” by Sabaton

"Resist and Bite" was the second single off Heroes, the seventh studio album from Swedish power metal outfit Sabaton, issued digitally in 2014. It doubles as a snapshot of a rebuilt band: guitarists Chris Rörland and Thobbe Englund and drummer Hannes van Dahl were making their first Sabaton record, lining up behind Joakim Brodén's lead vocal and Pär Sundström's bass.

Brodén wrote the music with guest guitarist Ken Kängström and plays keyboards on it as well, while Sundström supplied the words, and the rest of the band (Sundström, van Dahl, Rörland and Englund) piles onto the backing vocals for a proper terrace-chant roar. Peter Tägtgren, who produced Heroes at Abyss Studios, also engineered and mixed the track, and the album around it swaps grand battlefields for the stories of individuals who went beyond the call of duty.
