War has become a form of Art yet it's a form of art people don't want to know about! If art is a form of life for a person, then war is art for a soldier!
@Xullern well if i am correct. the movie 300 is based off a comic book. and ya i know all about the real history of thermopaly. but rhino's and shrek was from the comic book. i think so no bad come backs
I know of people from Romania, America, Israel, thoughout Europe and even Australlia who mnaged to to buy it. All else fails, you can download the albums legally from the Sabaton website.You quite clearly can access the internet, so you don't really have an exuse.
I bought every Sabaton 'cept Attero Dominatus, but I'll get that one as well. Them guys playing at small venues is correct, I met them at a Jam Session (secret gig) in a venue called "Die Halle" in Frankfurt am Main and dude, that's a really small location, but I kinda love it. Had a friendly short chat with their bass-player Pär..:)
Which is one song over three war themed albums and five albums all in all. Fist For Fight, Metalizer, Primo Victoria, Attero Dominatus and The Art of War.
The Spartans may of never actually fought Rhinos or giant ogre men but it still was a bad ass moment in history none the less. Hell Spartans may of even been able to hold them back if there were rhinos, ogre men, and other strange creatures the director thought to throw on the bandwagon just for shits and giggles.
If anyone has read the book series "His dark Materials" better known as "northern lights" or "the golden compass" you will probably notice some similarities with the lyrics. by the way, I strongly recommend this series. If you saw the film you might think it's crap but it's hardly got anything to do with the book, and the following two are just as brillant. type 7734 into a calculator and turn it round. it will read "hell"
The only real reality in the movie is the fact the battle occured. It's good that we still remember battles from so long ago I guess, even this one had effects that we feel today.
Does anyone know what this song is about? I mean, I understand the 7734 last 2 united and 2 became 1 thing in the lyrics, but when he says "Our ranks decreased rapidly" I don't know who or what he's talking about.
@softchalklat I think your right about this...So it's a great title by the band when I think about it and great depiction by you or anyway knowledge cheers
2000 other greeks also left, guarding the passeges, but they fleet after the treason from Ephialtis. As a man once said: Heroes die like Greeks. Spartans there, stayed guarding the passege, while their town was still safe to the north, guarding the rest of greece and of its civilazation, where the Roman civil. has as an origin and from the Roman, the rest of the Europian colture.
lol yeah i just noticed it...thats why i added the 'oh nvm i got it' thing at the end. i still don't see what this song is about (not hell, as in all the other lyrics)
7734 3+4=7 (last 2 united and 2 became 1): then gives 777 -111 (111 they perish in flames) 777-111=666 Not to mention 7734 upside down is "Hell." It's basically a song about dying and going to either heaven or hell.
@Frostwolf7 Could be, initially. I was referring to those + Demophilus who stayed with the Spartans. It's not a big deal, in any case. The numbers of the Persians, however, are acknowledged by modern mainstream historians to be grossly exaggerated, with the actual number of Xerxes' army at 100,000 maximum, many of whom did not participate in the assault of the Thermopiles. This in no way diminishes the heroism of the Spartans. On the contrary - it increases.
I think the one thing the movie got really wrong that I don't like (the fantasy part is good because its a movie) is that it focuses on the individuals so much. The only reason Spartan lasted as long as they did was because they worked together as 1 unit, 1 body. I just think the movie shows too much of them running off fighting by themselves, etc. That said, it was a good fictional movie and this song is great.
@trajan5776 exactly the film is in error when its said to "never retreat", When actually what they really would say is to never "dessert and take flight in fear of battle" and to only retreat when the Strategos ordered them too.. A deserting spartan who awol would be disowned by his family and even "killed" by both his male and female relatives for bringing shame on the family honor. Some would join in service to other Greek states while in exile, rather then return home and face his mother.
what isn't well represented in 300 is the fact that their were 10'000 Athenians fighting beside the Spartans, they aren't to be seen doing anything in this movie.
@1993Metalmaniac Screw the Movie. There were 300 Spartans including Leonidas one of the two kings of Spartan that time. (Spartans' law say that there were two kings, at the same time, one going to war and one for preparetions for war - peace..) Persian army had arround 800 000, including those who were left behind at fotresses throughtout the empire. Greek army had arround 5 to 7 thousands. When the Greeks retreated, arround 1000 left, 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians
@Ognamus Don`t know about nordic, but slavic languages are doing very well. Even though there are many words connected with technology, etc. - slavs can communicate with each other like no other nations. Especially groups e.g. Czechs with Poles, Ukrainians and Sorbs (Western Slavs from Germany).
@Xullern Yeah,but another fact:the spartans did not win the war or turn the tide and they had some reinforcements with.Also,they would wear armor,and never broke ranks,which would have been suicide as spartan,just like everybody else fought in a phalanx formation.
Yeah, I know the whole joke thing but who is he talking about when he says "Our ranks decreased rapidly"? Or is it just a few random words slapped into a song? Thanks :P
@Xullern if you look on the other hand, spartans, as all greek, Had El with their side and they had some special powers too... so they could hold back the beasts(nephelim)...;)
@ISRAELKING100 it is "hell" upside down its invers writing if you have a labtop flip it upsidwon and if its a computer well get bitten by a radioactive spider and climb on the seling
Hail from America!!! Sabaton is the best!
Holy fucking shit, there isn't anything more epic and ear-wealthing than scenes of 300 with music of this GREAT band that is Sabaton
In my opinion, this is Sabaton's most epic song. love it!
He also kept around 700 Thespian troops. The 'Last Stand of the Spartans' wasn't just Spartans.
2021 Get Ready.
Huh, so this comment section is what early Sabaton fandom looked like. Interesting.
Man, this film was both visually and in terms of storytelling just epic.
Sabaton 4 ever !!
Kocham was !! ;D
5/5
OMG!! 300 and this song, one of my favorites of SABATON: great video.
FINNALY!!!!! Somebody has this song on youtube! One of Sabaton's very best! I just love it! Thank you so much, ans a very cool vid aswell!
All Sabaton songs sound so epic
I don´t think I can describe with words how good this song is
That movie could just be described with one word, EPIC.
Just epic !
and now your soul returns to Paradies !
War has become a form of Art yet it's a form of art people don't want to know about!
If art is a form of life for a person, then war is art for a soldier!
Yes, this is definitely one of their best. So damn catchy.
Sabaton: The GENERALS of War Music!!!!
this is the best song from SABATON!!!!
Sabaton 4EVER!!!!! is the best!!!!! ;-)
Sabaton is great especially this song. I didn't get the part with the numbers till i read the comments below :)
Hail from Germany!
this song goes pretty well with 300, in terms of melody and power.
Awesome song! Great video! SABATON \m/
Svensk Heavy Metal när den är som bäst! LOVE SABATON!!!
Glad to see you read about ancient Greek history mate:)
This stuff is totally awesome. 5/5
@Xullern well if i am correct. the movie 300 is based off a comic book. and ya i know all about the real history of thermopaly. but rhino's and shrek was from the comic book. i think so no bad come backs
They translate it in the song itself... Creator of all.
I know of people from Romania, America, Israel, thoughout Europe and even Australlia who mnaged to to buy it. All else fails, you can download the albums legally from the Sabaton website.You quite clearly can access the internet, so you don't really have an exuse.
and every other Sabaton song! \m/
"Or to you where IKEA come from"
I laughed real hard at that!
Yup, these are realy cool lyrics. Also, if you haven't noticed: "7734" is "HELL" spelled in numbers and flipped upside-down.
@F4lls some people take their numerology just too far....did you manage to turn lead to gold as well?
ive seen it in the normal version, and it was there!
I bought every Sabaton 'cept Attero Dominatus, but I'll get that one as well. Them guys playing at small venues is correct, I met them at a Jam Session (secret gig) in a venue called "Die Halle" in Frankfurt am Main and dude, that's a really small location, but I kinda love it. Had a friendly short chat with their bass-player Pär..:)
@Xullern what if they threw in chuck norris?
Which is one song over three war themed albums and five albums all in all. Fist For Fight, Metalizer, Primo Victoria, Attero Dominatus and The Art of War.
300 its move tath show how brave humans are.!
AWESOME VID QUALLITY
well, not only that the battle exist, but there were really 300 spartans who fought with so many enemies.
Epic good quality, man :P
Thanks Man.
mi english its a little poor and I was searching for meaning of GLATEM word but i can't translate ¿any example please?
The Spartans may of never actually fought Rhinos or giant ogre men but it still was a bad ass moment in history none the less. Hell Spartans may of even been able to hold them back if there were rhinos, ogre men, and other strange creatures the director thought to throw on the bandwagon just for shits and giggles.

type 7734 into a calculator and turn it round. it will read "hell"
oh wow, cant believe I missed that! XD
@Xullern To be fair the movie was based on a graphic novel which was loosely based on historical fact
best movie fro 7734!
Wow thx for explaining :3!
I get the 666 part but the rest still leaves me thinking. thanks for the explenation though!
The only real reality in the movie is the fact the battle occured. It's good that we still remember battles from so long ago I guess, even this one had effects that we feel today.
Its a big matter here in hungary too. There is unable to get any of the sabaton t-shirts, cds.... :'( I will buy all albums when i go to germany.
R.I.P my ears -.- first second is not nice but despite my bleeding ears...
good song ^^
That there's a wicked solo in the intro though :)
THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You know a bands cool when they have a song named after what you have to type in a calculator to spell hell.
so true...
What are the lyrics referred to? i'm a Sabaton newlistener, i'm curious, ty
Does anyone know what this song is about? I mean, I understand the 7734 last 2 united and 2 became 1 thing in the lyrics, but when he says "Our ranks decreased rapidly" I don't know who or what he's talking about.
wow
7734 upsidedown is HELL or hEll
it's there :D just have to pay more attencion on the film when your watching
@softchalklat I think your right about this...So it's a great title by the band when I think about it and great depiction by you or anyway knowledge cheers

Cool vid 5/5
@tokorev747777
"do GlateMlivE",
"Evil Metal God" in reverse?
@Xullern i think they fogut rinous and other beats like that cus i know that the persians used theam
7734
3+4=7 (last 2 united and 2 became 1): then gives 777
-111 (111 they perish in flames)
777-111=666
Not to mention 7734 upside down is "Hell."
It's basically a song about dying and going to either heaven or hell.
Around 300 Spartans + 300 Thespians under Demophilus, who stayed and died with them.
@omarr9k I don't think so, think the 666 actually points that soldiers were having a hell life back in the days (and they still have)
@F4lls Yes! It means Evil Metal God! Or in my opinion it does
yea, if I remember correct there were about 7.000 other greek soldiers there, next to the 300 spartans
@Frostwolf7 Could be, initially. I was referring to those + Demophilus who stayed with the Spartans. It's not a big deal, in any case. The numbers of the Persians, however, are acknowledged by modern mainstream historians to be grossly exaggerated, with the actual number of Xerxes' army at 100,000 maximum, many of whom did not participate in the assault of the Thermopiles.
This in no way diminishes the heroism of the Spartans. On the contrary - it increases.
@Renjixxx You like saying everything I just said? Also, nowhere in there is 77 + 34. He just says "111 they perished in flames."
I think the one thing the movie got really wrong that I don't like (the fantasy part is good because its a movie) is that it focuses on the individuals so much. The only reason Spartan lasted as long as they did was because they worked together as 1 unit, 1 body. I just think the movie shows too much of them running off fighting by themselves, etc. That said, it was a good fictional movie and this song is great.
@HomeMediaProductions i heard they fought chuck norris and won
@Athonline except for 2 spartans one of wich came beck ( they were both injured and leonidas decided to turn em home)
How do you get this to be about Jesus? I can't see the connection to be honest. Please do elaborate.
@trajan5776
exactly the film is in error when its said to "never retreat", When actually what they really would say is to never "dessert and take flight in fear of battle" and to only retreat when the Strategos ordered them too..

Some would join in service to other Greek states while in exile, rather then return home and face his mother.
If 7734 is hell, then what does the part with 111 mean?
@ainumahtar Yeah true and i foundout that they say "do glatem live" wich is evil metal god backwards
@tobiaswashere in the movie there where a few million if i remember right :P
what isn't well represented in 300 is the fact that their were 10'000 Athenians fighting beside the Spartans, they aren't to be seen doing anything in this movie.
just one thing i dont get, why is "they perish in flames" neccessarily 111? it could be any number.
never mind i get it. nice going
@1993Metalmaniac
Screw the Movie. There were 300 Spartans including Leonidas one of the two kings of Spartan that time. (Spartans' law say that there were two kings, at the same time, one going to war and one for preparetions for war - peace..) Persian army had arround 800 000, including those who were left behind at fotresses throughtout the empire. Greek army had arround 5 to 7 thousands. When the Greeks retreated, arround 1000 left, 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians
if you change take the G in glatem and put it in do you get Dog latem live and if you reads back wards it says "Evil metal god"
I have, i bought "Primo Victoria" you spanner! Thats one song over 3 albums, hardly dedacted to that cause are they?
@Ognamus Don`t know about nordic, but slavic languages are doing very well. Even though there are many words connected with technology, etc. - slavs can communicate with each other like no other nations. Especially groups e.g. Czechs with Poles, Ukrainians and Sorbs (Western Slavs from Germany).
@Xullern Yeah,but another fact:the spartans did not win the war or turn the tide and they had some reinforcements with.Also,they would wear armor,and never broke ranks,which would have been suicide as spartan,just like everybody else fought in a phalanx formation.
if you turn it upside down, HELL
what does 7734 mean is it some biblical thing?
What do u mean?? This film was one of the best I have seen.
Yeah, we all know that in ancient times civilians never died in war.
What album was this song from! I've never heard it before! :O
All hail Sparta, ALL HAIL SABATON!!!
@DrAnnoyed I don't think there were 10 000 Athenians, more like 7 000.
Actualy I think that Do glatem Live is latin don't know what it means though
Yeah, I know the whole joke thing but who is he talking about when he says "Our ranks decreased rapidly"? Or is it just a few random words slapped into a song? Thanks :P
@Xullern if you look on the other hand, spartans, as all greek, Had El with their side and they had some special powers too... so they could hold back the beasts(nephelim)...;)
Buy the album Metalizer.
@bockeythegreat Actually, what you wrote backwards spells 'evil matel god'.
@ISRAELKING100 it is "hell" upside down its invers writing if you have a labtop flip it upsidwon and if its a computer well get bitten by a radioactive spider and climb on the seling
and ghost division :)?
