If "War" is the theme, Sabaton ensures it is not glorified, but remembered. The value of a compilation focusing on their war themes lies in the band’s meticulous research. Unlike many bands that use war as a vague aesthetic, Sabaton treats it as a curriculum.

Musically, Sabaton borrows heavily from the playbook of classic heavy metal and power metal. The riffs are galloping, often mimicking the rhythm of marching boots or rolling tanks. The keyboards, handled historically by Daniel Mÿhr (and later by Thobbe Englund and current member Chris Rörland in various capacities), provide a cinematic layer of brass-like synths that give the songs a military band atmosphere.
