Le Petit Caporal is a heavy metal chronicle of Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise, reign, and ruin — a journey from the fires of revolution to the exile of an emperor. Through symphonic and power metal intensity, the album captures both the glory and tragedy of Europe’s greatest military strategist.

The story begins on Corsica, tracing Napoleon’s humble origins and his rapid ascent during the Siege of Toulon. Victories across Italy and Egypt mark his transformation from commander to legend, while Marching in the Grande Armée celebrates the loyalty of his soldiers. The tone darkens through the Peninsular War in Spain and the devastating Retreat from Russia, as ambition turns to despair.

The closing acts follow his dramatic exile on Elba, the triumphant return of The Hundred Days, and the final defeat at Waterloo. The album ends on the windswept island of St. Helena, where Misery on St Helena mourns the fall of an empire and the man who once ruled it.

A fusion of historical fact, emotional depth, and unrelenting metal power — Le Petit Caporal stands as Tierra Krieg’s tribute to the brilliance, madness, and mortality of Napoleon Bonaparte.
