[[http://www.civilwar.se/ Civil War]] is a PowerMetal band from Falun, UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}}. Sound familiar? That's because four of the founding members of the band (currently two) previously played for Music/{{Sabaton}}.
The band formed in 2012 after guitarists Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén, drummer Daniel Mullback and keyboardist Daniel Mÿhr left Sabaton after recording ''Carolus Rex'' ([[https://metalatthegates.com/2016/04/09/14-burning-questions-for-civil-war/ due in part to the group's grueling touring schedule]]). They joined up with vocalist Nils Patrik Johansson (Astral Doors) and bassist Stefan Eriksson, signing initially with Despotz Records. They are currently signed to Napalm Records.
The band continues Sabaton's tradition of predominantly historical themes, though they cover topics besides war and their lyrics tend to be more abstract than their parent group. Their name refers to UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar, and they commonly perform in costumes based on Union and Confederate uniforms and named their first three albums after Michael and Jeff Shaara's historical novel trilogy about the war.
In 2014, a third guitarist, Petrus Granar, joined the band to play on ''Gods and Generals''. However, after this second album, Montelius left the band in 2015, citing fatigue; Eriksson also left, leaving the band with no permanent bassist. In 2016, Johansson was dismissed from the band due to personal disputes with the other members, and was replaced the following February by UsefulNotes/{{Houston}}, UsefulNotes/{{Texas}}-based vocalist Kelly Sundown Carpenter (Adagio, Beyond Twilight, Darkology).
In 2021, Rikard Sundén was [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor charged and eventually convicted of sex crimes]]; the band replaced him with former Music/{{Sabaton}} guitarist Thobbe Englund.
Current lineup:
* Petrus Granar — guitar (2014–present)
* Daniel Mÿhr — keyboards (2012–present)
* Daniel Mullback — drums (2012–present)
* Kelly Sundown Carpenter – vocals (2017-present)
* Thobbe Englund — guitar (2021-present)
Past members:
* Rikard Sundén — guitar (2012–2021)
* Nils Patrik Johansson — vocals (2012–2016)
* Oskar Montelius — lead/rhythm guitar, backing vocals (2012–2015)
* Stefan "Pizza" Eriksson — bass (2012–2015)
Discography:
* ''Civil War'' (EP, 2012)
* ''The Killer Angels'' (2013) - named for ''Literature/TheKillerAngels'' by Michael Shaara
* ''Gods and Generals'' (2015) - named for ''Literature/GodsAndGenerals'' by Jeff Shaara
* ''The Last Full Measure'' (2016) - named for ''Literature/TheLastFullMeasure'' by Jeff Shaara
* ''Invaders'' (2022)

!!Tropes in Civil War's music:
* AscendedExtra:
** Nils Patrik Johannson had previously filled in for Daniel Mullback for a couple shows on Sabaton's 2011 tour after Mullback injured his knee.
** Thobbe Englund, who had previously been a replacement guitarist in Sabaton for the band's founders themselves, made a guest appearance as a guitarist on the single "Dead Man's Glory", and joined the band permanently after Rikard Sundén was kicked out.
* TheCameo: Fellow former Sabaton musician Thobbe Englund plays on "Dead Man's Glory", two years before he officially joined the band.
* CowboyEpisode: "Tombstone" is about the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the video features the band playing in the middle of the crossfire.
* EliteArmy: "First to Fight" is about special operations units.
* FolkMetal: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tkhozu3QdI "Dead Man's Glory"]] takes cues from Irish folk music.
* HorribleHistoryMetal: Like Sabaton, they sing primarily about historical events, though their lyrics often tend to be more abstract. Rather than European conflicts, they mainly focus on American history.
* HornyVikings: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tkhozu3QdI "Dead Man's Glory"]] is about Irishmen ''fighting off'' Vikings.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: Their first three studio albums (and a song on each album) take their names from the Shaaras' novel trilogy about UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar.
* TakingOverHeaven: Napoleon's goal, according to "I Will Rule the Universe."
-->"I shall cross the seraphs' veil
-->"and soon I will be marching on to Heaven."
* VocalDissonance: For fans who followed the musicians from Sabaton and Joakim Brodén's baritone growl, Nils Johansson's falsetto caterwauling is a bit of a switch. Ditto Kelly Carpenter.

!!Tropes in Civil War's music:
* CowboyEpisode: "Tombstone" is about the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the video features the band playing in the middle of the crossfire.
* VocalDissonance: For fans who followed the musicians from Sabaton and Joakim Brodén's basso growl, Nils Johansson's falsetto caterwauling is a bit of a switch.
