Now you've touched something big. If you like ”Steel Commanders”, you need to listen to ”Bismarck”, ”Great War”, ”The Attack of the Dead Men” and many more. Joakim Brodéns voice is fantastic. The lyrics will teach you so much about military history.
My take on this is that the magic is the spirit to "rule the battlefield". you can see the spirit leaving the tanks when they retreat or get hit - they didnt "rule" the battlefield, and the spirit searches for the strong commanders
Sabaton does a lot of great songs rooted in real historical events, too! I would recommend "Bismarck", "Winged Hussars", and "Wolfpack", among others. The latter two don't have official music videos, but I reckon they're worth a listen.
Winged hussars and wolfpack don't have official music videos but some of the fan made videos are pretty awesome Is somebody did one for wolf pack With Scenes from the new Tom Hanks movie greyhound
Sabaton has become 1 of my favorite bands for the past 3 or 4 years because I love history and alot of there songs are based on historical events which is right up my alley. Some of my favorite songs by Sabaton are 82nd All The Way, Bismarck, Blood Of Bannockburn, Cliffs Of Gallipoli, Defence Of Moscow, Devil Dogs, Fields Of Verdun, No Bullets Fly, Primo Victoria, Roarks Drift, Seven Pillers Of Wisdom, Screaming Eagles, Shiroyama, The Attack Of The Dead Men, The Lost Battalion, The Price Of A Mile, The Red Baron, and To Hell And Back Sabaton also has another channel called Sabaton History if you want to know the history behind each of the songs.
Out of everyone I've been watching react to Sabaton, your reaction is by far the best. I love seeing people experiencing Sabaton's music of the first time just get really into it and just rock out. For me, this is one of my top five songs from them; The fast paced double kick bass drums help give the feeling that the song is being driven forward by an engine. Though my favorite part of the song is the second bridge, the part that starts "From the Mark One's introduction, to the beast known as the Leopard", yeah, I can belt that whole section out no problem.
Some of my personal favorites by Sabaton are “Winged Hussars”, “Fields of Verdun”, and “Sparta”, I think you would enjoy each of them. If you’re going through Sabaton they are ESSENTIAL listening. Love your channel, cheers from Canada 🤘🏻
If you're interested with the history side of the stories their songs embody you should check out "Night Witches" or "No Bullets Fly". Especially the videos in partnership with yearn hub.
Sabaton is a cool band! I got into them because of Dan, especially his cover of The Last Stand, which is very close to becoming Dan's ninth 1M+ views video. I love how Sabaton mixes history lessons with EPIC music. Great reaction!
Hi Dave, great reaction! Sabaton are just amazing. For "Steel Commander" the band has teamed up with "Wargaming" and "World Of Tanks". The great cellist Tina Guo was also there again. Yes, it's Power Metal and I'm looking forward to more reaction videos. Check out some live videos too, you'll be amazed! Oh by the way, the drumset of Hannes is mounted on a tank at concerts...
To answer someone who messaged me I served 21 years as a tank crewman. I was told from an old cadre member from basic training. "It takes 4 souls to make the ultimate killing machine" Driver, Loader, Gunner, Tank Commander. The modern idea of a tank crew western wise. Tank commander is the brain. The gunner its fists, The loader its heart and life blood , and driver its legs. It takes a coherent crew to bring life to armor. There is FAR more to being a Steel Commander than the games tell you.
You got it right Sir. The Armored knights march through time. Then they disappear. Then the great war, the emergence of the tank...the new Armor takes the soul of the Knight. And we march through our own time. As much as it pains the Rangers...Armor always leads the way. We fill the same role as our ancestors. We are Armor...We are fury...We will not fail.
This song is basically about the evolution of the tank, with the night basically being the first form of armored combat. The video was made by Wargaming for World Of Tanks. The last tank with the "runes" is the new Sabaton tank that is available in-game. Sabaton is a swedish band that writes and sings about Actual historic events, battles, moments of heroism and wars. They will be releasing their 10th studio album very soon... everyone is waiting for the date... Nice thing about them is that their video's never blocked so it's RUclips safe. (except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken) If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these: (These are all from the Sabaton Channel, and they never block videos so it's safe to use) [live at Woodstock 2012]: Ghost Division, 40:1 and Uprising [Great Tour Live Videos]: En Livstied I Krieg (make sure to turn subtitles on), Red Baron, Swedish Pagans, Primo Victoria, Fields of Verdun, Devil Dogs & Angels Calling [Lyric videos]: Attack of the dead men, In Flanders Fields, 82nd All the way, Sparta, Shiroyama and The lost betallion [Music Video's]: Defence of Moscow, Livgardet (make sure to turn subtitles on), Fields of Verdun, Rourke's Drift, Screaming Eagles, Uprising & Seven Pillars of wisdom [Animated History Video's]: Night Witches and No Bullets Fly (not animated music video's, the animated history/story video's) [Covers]: Kingdom Come - Deliverance and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.
Господи, я наконец-то нашла канал с нормальными реакциями! Хоть и перешла сюда по реакциям на Merkins, но твои реакции на Sabaton заслуживают уважения. Ты реагируешь одновременно спокойно, правдиво, но не равнодушно и с уважением - идеальный баланс. Однозначно буду рекомендовать, осталась мелочь, русских интересующихся подобным, да к тому же хорошо знающих язык на слух очень мало (особенно среди моих знакомых 😶) надеюсь ютуб сможет перевести всё это, в случае, если меня заметяь, я могу переписать хоть сколько угодно раз! Замечательный человек, замечательный канал
“From the Mk I’s introduction, to the beast known as the ‘Leopard’! With our Chieftains and Centurions, out frontline has been tempered. From the fields of Prokhorovka, to the shores of Overlord! The beginning of the victory; Sherman’s rolling onto Sword.” My favorite line
Something that was figured out in the OG video was the way the spirit leaves the tanks before they were about to get killed, and there's a good dissection as to the reasoning behind it. The first tank, the Mark IV, avoided the cannon fire, but ended up getting itself stuck in the ditch, dooming itself to artillery because of a dumb mistake. The second one, the Sherman, met it's end when it got outnumbered 2 to one by the enemy, a fight it shouldn't have picked. The third, an SU-152, seemed promising, but in it's haste missed its shots on the enemy. The 4th one, the Panther, was doing well until it got shot from behind due to a lack of situational awareness. And finally, Sabaton's tank, which not only practiced the lessons the former tanks learned the hard way, had the perseverance to rise up when they were down, winning the battle.
Yes. They have worked with War Gaming on this song (which is essentially a glorified ad for World of Tanks, but you DO get Sabaton as a tank crew, so that's a plus) and Bismarck
Wow, great find Dave! Have been enjoying your ERB stuff a while now and now you get into my favorite band! This is gonna be wild! They are norse like you guessed, from the middle of Sweden. Not quintessential power metal but close, they lack the common high pitch vocals and fantasy themes. They sing about military history, and like someone se recommended their History Channel is great! If you’d like some good live performances I would recommend ‘40:1’ (from Woodstock festival in Poland), ‘Ghost Division’ (on their label Nuclear Blasts channel) and ‘En livstid i krig’ (on their own channel). Be sure to turn on subtitles for the last one since it is in their native Swedish. Turn it up!
So refreshing! Love me some Sabaton! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you react to more. Another recommendation I’ll always recommend is the group Temperence, whose sound is similar to Nightwish
Man I haven't been early to an upload of yours in SO long. I'm just getting into Sabaton myself, and I haven't heard this one. I'm excited to react along with you haha!
This video served as an advertisement for their new song as well as World of Tank by Wargaming who have sponsored them twice before with two other videos. One of them was Bismarck, advertising world of warships. In both this and Bismark the graphics were made from the game's graphics engine.
HA! So glad you've found Sabaton! This is a rabbit hole you won't want to come out of! Sabaton is from Falun, Sweden, and as people have mentioned before, the majority of their songs are about historical events from all over the world. The band is: Vocals - Joakim Brodén Guitar - Chris Rörland Guitar - Tommy Johanssen (who is also the lead vocalist of Majestica, also from Sweden) Bass - Pär Sundström Drums - Hannes van Dahl (who, as many people will tell you, is married to Floor Jansen, vocalist of Nightwish) Here are some more suggestions! Subjects are in () "Bismarck" (German battleship of the Kriegsmarine) Official Music Video "Winged Hussars" (Polish cavalry) Official lyric video + live version from The Great Tour in Poland "Uprising" (the Warsaw insurrection of 1944) Official music video + live version from Woodstock Poland 2012 "En Livstid i Krig" (the Thirty Years' War) Live version from The Great Tour in Gothenburg, Sweden NOTE: This song is in their native tongue of Swedish so be sure to turn subtitles on And so many many more! Sabaton's live videos are particularly intense. Don't be surprised if you feel patriotic for other countries while listening to them! And finally, the band has a separate RUclips channel called "Sabaton History" where they, along with their good friend Indy Nidell, discuss the backstories behind each of their songs, and how the songs themselves came to be. Definitely looking forward to seeing you react to more Sabaton! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Oh boi, i love me some Sabaton. They do amazing songs and like 95% of the songs are about some story from military history. They actually have the Sabaton History channel where they talk about the story behind the songs. So If you like yourself some juicy history facts that's a great place to be. Love your reactions. Keep Up the great work!
swedish power metal band, sabaton. They sing about war of history (real history). They even bring up stories that have been hidden like "no Bullet fly" (really touching story, you should watch the full animated music video) same with "night witches".
Sabaton is one of my favourite bands. I suggest Livgardet (with subtitles), the always put a lot of work in their music videos. Btw, their drummer is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish
I have been following your recent ERB binge and even on your old channel but I am glad you found Sabaton! My recommendation would be their animated video of No Bullets Fly. Amazing story that get's me teary eyed every time. Greetings from Iceland.
My brotha welcome to the Sabaton Army this song Steel Commanders is about the evolution of tank warfare which is why it starts out with knights cause they were one of the earliest forms of tanks then it moves on to WW1 to modern day advance tank warfare this song also doubles as a advertisement for the new WoT and Sabaton collaboration
Sabaton is a Swedish Power Metal band. Most of their songs focus on military history, honoring the warriors who fought, regardless of nation. 'Bismark' is one of their most popular, but my favorites are 'Primo Victoria' which is about WW2's D-Day invasion of Normandy. 'Shiroyama,' the "Last Stand of the Samurai." 'Lion of the North,' the story of King Gustavus Adolphus II Vasa, of Sweden, also known as "The Golden King." And 'Hell and Back' which is about Audey Murphy, the most decorated American soldier in WW2.
They like to collaborate with the makers of the games World of Tanks and World of Warships (or something like that). Tina Gao on the chello made her first appearance live on Wacken in 2019 in a song called Swedish Pagans. Well worth a watch, with a crowd of roughly 70-80 000 metal fans singing along.
Oh my, you got 20y of epic war history story's over 10 albums(90+ songs)! Welcome to Sabaton rabbit hole 🦊 personaly my favourite is "Screaming Eagles" official video, but all their songs are amazing 🙏
Everyone reacting to Steel Commanders: tank explody High fantasy nerd: he was obviously sleeping and waiting to give his power to another great warrior worthy of receiving it
Most people have started labeling Sabaton as Historical Metal. Though this comment is two years late, know you've opened the door to something amazing. I have yet to find a Sabaton song that wasn't "S-Tier".
Night witches, primo Victoria, Bismarck, attack of the dead men, you've gone down the rabbit hole my friend, and theres no turning back now lol Edit: and No bullets fly. Is amazing too
Heard "first time listening to Sabaton." Couldn't help but chuckle and think to myself,the man is in a for a treat. Soldier of three armies is a great choice to check out, Lauri Torne aka Larry Thorne a man who fought for Finland, Germany and the United states.
This video was made in collaboration with Wargaming (they made World of Tanks and World of Warships). You should definitely check out their other collaboration on the song “Bismarck” about the German battleship of the same name. Sabaton also has a second channel called Sabaton History where they dive into the historical backgrounds of their songs. Just a heads up if you do check out the Sabaton history videos, they include bits of the songs in them so best to watch them second of you don’t want any spoilers.
Here's a lesser-discussed secret of Sabaton. Yes, they're all about the military history and this is why I love them. But what makes it really pop is how they inject the fantasy lyrics into it. Note the "There and back again" line in the Ballad of Bull which is obviously a Hobbit reference, and the archaic language that they use in many or most of their songs. Like, don't talk to me about the Battle of the Five Armies if you can't tell me about The Soldier of Three Armies. Or the Attack of the Dead Men, or the Thirty Years' War. In my opinion, these events far surpass any fantasy thing because they actually happened. (Not knocking fantasy, as I'm a DM myself, but I'm also a serviceman and my grandfather was Air Corps. This things have a special meaning to me.)
Sabaton Partnered with the Company Wargaming to produce a couple of their videos. Wargaming puts out World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes. The three videos Wargaming helped produce ( So Far ) Are " Primo Victoria " , " Bismarck " and now " Steel Commanders " . When Primo Victoria was made Wargaming added a Premium Tank into World of Tanks names ( Of course ) Primo Victoria. Then with Steel Commanders, The upgraded Premium Tank is called The Spirit of War. The tank with the gold Filigree at the end of the video is the Custom skin for the new tank,... The Strv K. Apparently it's the first Premium Tier 9 tank in the game.
OH man Dave, you are in for a treat if you keep down this path. Bismarck is a wonderful song to add to your list, so is Shiroyama. Joakim just has some fantastic vocals in general though
okay like this song IS about tanks, tho the video is also made as trailer/intro thing for a game (world of tanks i think) and i thibk its awesome how they did this, Joakim, the vocalist, also stated that he loves the game and when they got the question he didnt hesitate to do this video
Please react to the ”Carolus Rex” album, its a sabaton album from 2012. (all of the songs in that album exist in both swedish and english). These are my favourites from that album: ”En livstid i krig” ”Carolus Rex” ”Lion from the north”
Dave in your other reaction videos you always bring up about Sabaton bringing in different ideas to their music. In the beginning of this song I hear a Spirit Box. I watch a lot of paranormal shows. I may be wrong, but it sounds like it's Spirit Box sound and beat to me. Ghosts of the past Maybe?
you apologized in the bismarck video for your interpretation of the knight and high fantasy. don't, you absolutely nailed the story they were going for. keep the sabaton vids coming
Oh, and in case it hasn't been mentioned 20 times already, the blonde drummer of Sabaton, Hannes Van Dahl, is married to Floor Jansen of NightWish. They have a daughter. Her favorite song that her mom sings to her is "Yours is a Stinky Poop."
Great reaction! 😄 Are you sure about this.. ? You've just found a rabbit hole! 😁 Prepare for an invasion!😄 Now you've got to check out Sabaton's "No bullets fly" (animated story video), "Bismarck" (official music video) and "Lion from the North" (official music video. The footage is from their "Great Tour" in Europe). The music video you just watched is a colab with World of Tanks. The music video for "Bismarck" is a colab with World of Warships. Greetings from Sweden!🤘🇸🇪
a will, an honor, knights were considered the tanks, the "steel commanders" if you will, as this idea of metal creatures, going into battle, knowing that thay may not come back, contenued, so did that knights will, and all the soldiers that came before him, and for that, we should all take pause, oh I do believe whakeim is Swedish?
Now you've touched something big. If you like ”Steel Commanders”, you need to listen to ”Bismarck”, ”Great War”, ”The Attack of the Dead Men” and many more. Joakim Brodéns voice is fantastic. The lyrics will teach you so much about military history.
don´t forget I livstid i krig live - chills!
Attack of the Dead Men live in Russia. It is so epic.
Well, good to know I'm not the only one who enjoys watching unsuspecting reactors jump right into the deep end with the Bismarck music video.
Devil dogs history version
i love attack of the dead men
My take on this is that the magic is the spirit to "rule the battlefield". you can see the spirit leaving the tanks when they retreat or get hit - they didnt "rule" the battlefield, and the spirit searches for the strong commanders
Just listen to all of Sabaton's songs, I cannot think of a bad one. They are all incredible
There is no bad Sabaton Song, Its like an Oxymoron.
@@restionSerpentine huh?
@@Shadow46510 OxyMoron when you combine two opposite words, Like Jumbo Shrimp, Dark light, deliberate Mistake, Bad Sabaton song. Its a contradiction.
@@restionSerpentine Ohhhhhh! Ok. I know what an oxymoron is. I was just immensely confused on what you meant by that
@@Shadow46510 Bad Joke on my part.
I can't help but feel a little responsible for this. Please don't blame me if you get addicted. You'll love it.
I have that problem, ha,ha
Sabaton does a lot of great songs rooted in real historical events, too! I would recommend "Bismarck", "Winged Hussars", and "Wolfpack", among others. The latter two don't have official music videos, but I reckon they're worth a listen.
But primo Victoria
They have a song to lord of the rings nazgul
Winged hussars and wolfpack don't have official music videos but some of the fan made videos are pretty awesome Is somebody did one for wolf pack With Scenes from the new Tom Hanks movie greyhound
Winged Hussar's has some Live performances on here though iirc
Sabaton has become 1 of my favorite bands for the past 3 or 4 years because I love history and alot of there songs are based on historical events which is right up my alley.

Sabaton also has another channel called Sabaton History if you want to know the history behind each of the songs.
I love that Tommy did high vocals on this track. He's got an awesome voice.
Oh man sabbaton? Hell yes. The Kriegsmarine is fantastic btw, especially the kneebangs because he can't headbang being bald.
You can headbang bald. I do.

Well welcome to the amazing world of Sabaton, and yes they are from Sweden🇸🇪🇸🇪🤘🎸🎼🥁🤘🇸🇪🇸🇪
Sabatons niche in the metal world is war stories. And they are incredibly good at it, with many stories of war history they've told
If you gonna make more Sabaton, I would recomend doing reaction to Bismarck next.

Welcome fellow Sabatonian! 🍺😎
You, sir, are in for a wild ride!
They produce heat music
More like explosive music
More like nuclear music
You got it right Sir. The Armored knights march through time. Then they disappear. Then the great war, the emergence of the tank...the new Armor takes the soul of the Knight. And we march through our own time. As much as it pains the Rangers...Armor always leads the way. We fill the same role as our ancestors. We are Armor...We are fury...We will not fail.

Nice thing about them is that their video's never blocked so it's RUclips safe. (except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken)
If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these:
(These are all from the Sabaton Channel, and they never block videos so it's safe to use)
[live at Woodstock 2012]: Ghost Division, 40:1 and Uprising
[Great Tour Live Videos]: En Livstied I Krieg (make sure to turn subtitles on), Red Baron, Swedish Pagans, Primo Victoria, Fields of Verdun, Devil Dogs & Angels Calling
[Lyric videos]: Attack of the dead men, In Flanders Fields, 82nd All the way, Sparta, Shiroyama and The lost betallion
[Music Video's]: Defence of Moscow, Livgardet (make sure to turn subtitles on), Fields of Verdun, Rourke's Drift, Screaming Eagles, Uprising & Seven Pillars of wisdom
[Animated History Video's]: Night Witches and No Bullets Fly (not animated music video's, the animated history/story video's)
[Covers]: Kingdom Come - Deliverance
and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.
Welcome to sabaton, You'll never leave man.
1:03 - Hold on, we got magic powers?
Nope. SPIRIT OF VENGANCE is what we got mate.
Your reaction my man is pure gold! haha 10/10!!!
I love how he say this song make you love tanks. No this song makes you want to be a tank and tear through building will decimating your enemy
awesome that you have made a reaction to sabaton song which is a mega good band
It makes me happy to see people enjoying my favorite band.
Love Sabaton ^_^ such a fun and awesome band :3
every single time the first choir "Steel Commanders" hit my hair goes up
Never thought I would see you do some sabaton! 40:1, night witches, and Sparta are some of my favourites
Love Sabaton! I would recommend Bismarck, Ghost Division (live), The Last Stand, and many more!!

Seriously you look like you are going to explode with excitement
Awesome reaction buddy....gonna watch all the Sabaton you`ve done now!
The Knight, a formidable opponent that fight with near invincibility and charges into the battle. The Tank embodies that concept to this day.
If you like High Fantasy and Power Metal, you might also give Gloryhammer a try, their songs actually tell a continuing story

I have been following your recent ERB binge and even on your old channel but I am glad you found Sabaton!
My recommendation would be their animated video of No Bullets Fly. Amazing story that get's me teary eyed every time.
Greetings from Iceland.
My brotha welcome to the Sabaton Army this song Steel Commanders is about the evolution of tank warfare which is why it starts out with knights cause they were one of the earliest forms of tanks then it moves on to WW1 to modern day advance tank warfare this song also doubles as a advertisement for the new WoT and Sabaton collaboration
Did u ever feel like u wanna slap 👍🏼 over and over again? ❤️🔥 2022
steel commanders hell yes
Sabaton cooperated with Wargaming, a Belarusian gaming manufacturer. The graphics were done by Wargaming and it is a clip of their game World of Tanks
Sabaton is a Swedish Power Metal band. Most of their songs focus on military history, honoring the warriors who fought, regardless of nation.
'Bismark' is one of their most popular, but my favorites are 'Primo Victoria' which is about WW2's D-Day invasion of Normandy. 'Shiroyama,' the "Last Stand of the Samurai." 'Lion of the North,' the story of King Gustavus Adolphus II Vasa, of Sweden, also known as "The Golden King." And 'Hell and Back' which is about Audey Murphy, the most decorated American soldier in WW2.
They like to collaborate with the makers of the games World of Tanks and World of Warships (or something like that). Tina Gao on the chello made her first appearance live on Wacken in 2019 in a song called Swedish Pagans. Well worth a watch, with a crowd of roughly 70-80 000 metal fans singing along.
"... This video will make you like tanks..." Man... Even without this, tanks are badass!
Sabaton A history lesson by songs
I'd heard the sing but your reaction really gave me a deeper perspective
And they are Swedish
Oh my, you got 20y of epic war history story's over 10 albums(90+ songs)! Welcome to Sabaton rabbit hole 🦊 personaly my favourite is "Screaming Eagles" official video, but all their songs are amazing 🙏
BTW: Tank you.
Sabaton is a Swedish band who excels in "military metal"
The word you were looking for is Scandinavian and yes they’re of Scandinavian dissent they are from Sweden and they’re just awesome to watch
This song is an overview of the history of armored warfare.
Everyone reacting to Steel Commanders: tank explody
High fantasy nerd: he was obviously sleeping and waiting to give his power to another great warrior worthy of receiving it
Most people have started labeling Sabaton as Historical Metal. Though this comment is two years late, know you've opened the door to something amazing. I have yet to find a Sabaton song that wasn't "S-Tier".
I feel like it would be fun as hell to game with Dave.
I get quite……excited haha.
@What It Do Dave People with passion for what they do are few and far between. Keep up the great content!
Night witches, primo Victoria, Bismarck, attack of the dead men, you've gone down the rabbit hole my friend, and theres no turning back now lol
Edit: and No bullets fly. Is amazing too
Heard "first time listening to Sabaton." Couldn't help but chuckle and think to myself,the man is in a for a treat. Soldier of three armies is a great choice to check out, Lauri Torne aka Larry Thorne a man who fought for Finland, Germany and the United states.
sabaton are gods
This video was made in collaboration with Wargaming (they made World of Tanks and World of Warships). You should definitely check out their other collaboration on the song “Bismarck” about the German battleship of the same name. Sabaton also has a second channel called Sabaton History where they dive into the historical backgrounds of their songs. Just a heads up if you do check out the Sabaton history videos, they include bits of the songs in them so best to watch them second of you don’t want any spoilers.
Here's a lesser-discussed secret of Sabaton. Yes, they're all about the military history and this is why I love them. But what makes it really pop is how they inject the fantasy lyrics into it. Note the "There and back again" line in the Ballad of Bull which is obviously a Hobbit reference, and the archaic language that they use in many or most of their songs. Like, don't talk to me about the Battle of the Five Armies if you can't tell me about The Soldier of Three Armies. Or the Attack of the Dead Men, or the Thirty Years' War. In my opinion, these events far surpass any fantasy thing because they actually happened. (Not knocking fantasy, as I'm a DM myself, but I'm also a serviceman and my grandfather was Air Corps. This things have a special meaning to me.)
I swear your voice is so nice to listen to. Sorry if that's weird to say😂 that's all I think when I see your videos.
Sabaton- The Red Baron is really good too
Hello, react to Helloween - "How many tears", it's awesome.
Sabaton Partnered with the Company Wargaming to produce a couple of their videos. Wargaming puts out World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes. The three videos Wargaming helped produce ( So Far ) Are " Primo Victoria " , " Bismarck " and now " Steel Commanders " .
When Primo Victoria was made Wargaming added a Premium Tank into World of Tanks names ( Of course ) Primo Victoria. Then with Steel Commanders, The upgraded Premium Tank is called The Spirit of War. The tank with the gold Filigree at the end of the video is the Custom skin for the new tank,... The Strv K. Apparently it's the first Premium Tier 9 tank in the game.
My song recommendations: Price of a Mile, Fields of Verdun, Red Baron, 82nd All the Way, Ghost in the Trenches, Sparta, and Zulu
The armoured knight was considered the first tank
Try "Winged hussars" by Sabaton, please.
OH man Dave, you are in for a treat if you keep down this path. Bismarck is a wonderful song to add to your list, so is Shiroyama. Joakim just has some fantastic vocals in general though
okay like this song IS about tanks, tho the video is also made as trailer/intro thing for a game (world of tanks i think) and i thibk its awesome how they did this, Joakim, the vocalist, also stated that he loves the game and when they got the question he didnt hesitate to do this video
This is a second one for a video game!
Wow, Dave, u'v made Sabaton, wow, do forget about tik tok, tik tok if u remember. I'm so exciting !!!
You are right about the norse Is background sabaton are from Sweden
Please react to the ”Carolus Rex” album, its a sabaton album from 2012. (all of the songs in that album exist in both swedish and english). These are my favourites from that album:
”En livstid i krig”
”Carolus Rex”
”Lion from the north”
Dave in your other reaction videos you always bring up about Sabaton bringing in different ideas to their music. In the beginning of this song I hear a Spirit Box. I watch a lot of paranormal shows. I may be wrong, but it sounds like it's Spirit Box sound and beat to me. Ghosts of the past Maybe?
you apologized in the bismarck video for your interpretation of the knight and high fantasy. don't, you absolutely nailed the story they were going for. keep the sabaton vids coming
Oh, and in case it hasn't been mentioned 20 times already, the blonde drummer of Sabaton, Hannes Van Dahl, is married to Floor Jansen of NightWish. They have a daughter. Her favorite song that her mom sings to her is "Yours is a Stinky Poop."
The evolution of armored warfare
The last stand is the best song by sabaton
The video is made together with WarGaming for the game World of Tanks. And i think the yellow glow has to do with leveling up in the game.
Awesome I knew gamers would like it.. do defense of Moscow by Sabaton next.. Best song or winged hussars
Great reaction! 😄 Are you sure about this.. ? You've just found a rabbit hole! 😁 Prepare for an invasion!😄
Now you've got to check out Sabaton's "No bullets fly" (animated story video), "Bismarck" (official music video) and "Lion from the North" (official music video. The footage is from their "Great Tour" in Europe).
The music video you just watched is a colab with World of Tanks. The music video for "Bismarck" is a colab with World of Warships. Greetings from Sweden!🤘🇸🇪
Do Bismarck and/or Shiroyama both are just fantastic guitar riffs
The Ghost division, 82nd All the way.
a will, an honor, knights were considered the tanks, the "steel commanders" if you will, as this idea of metal creatures, going into battle, knowing that thay may not come back, contenued, so did that knights will, and all the soldiers that came before him, and for that, we should all take pause, oh I do believe whakeim is Swedish?
Thanks for that :)
