In 2021, Sabaton released a special History Channel Edition of the album to subscribers to the Sabaton History Patreon , featuring historical prefaces to each song by channel host Indy Neidell . The version had originally been planned for April 2020, but it and the History Channel Edition of Heroes suffered production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and label Nuclear Blast 's purchase by Believe Digital .[3] The albums finally shipped to subscribers on 25 June 2021.[4]
