Every Sabaton song is about military history, events, and people from around the world. Their most recent song was released about a week or two ago called "Fields of Verdun" really good.. Other good popular songs from them are "Primo Victoria", "Uprising, "To Hell and Back", "The last stand", "PanzerKampf" , "Night Witches", and "The price of a mile". just to name a few and you can pick any of them and not be disappointed...Sabaton is more of a power metal band, so thats why screaming is not part of their music, since power metal is more about powerful vocals and singing. In the other kinds of metal screaming and growling are just part of the art and DNA of the styles. Many of those songs wouldn't be as good or epic if they didnt have growls or screaming, nor would they convey the emotion and feel they try to convey in my opinion. .Great reaction, AGAIN, and hope to see more Sabaton on here.
Not all of their songs are military history based. Their actual debut album, Metalizer (yes it was released 3rd, but it was recorded before Primo Victoria) was not at all military based. There are also songs like Metal Crüe, Metal Ripper, Metal Machine, and Man of War that are tributes to heavy metal and metal bands as well as covers (not original music so they don't really count). So while their main lyrical focus is now military based, it was not always that way. However 98% of their songs are. Sorry for being nitpicky. I knew what you meant, but those that don't know Sabaton might get the wrong impression.
@@VinceYT2408 Joakim does that frequently with young fans. I've seen about a dozen videos where he invites a young fan onstage for the last song and gives them his shades. I need to become a patreon though. I saw their post yesterday about the next episode of Sabaton History being about Manfred von Richthofen. I don't know if I can wait until tomorrow when it's up for everyone.
Here is the back story of this song: Gustavus Adolphus (9/19 December 1594 - 6/16 November 1632, O.S./N.S.), also known in English as Gustav II Adolf or Gustav II Adolph,[1] was the King of Sweden from 1611 to 1632 who is credited for the founding of Sweden as a great power (Swedish: Stormaktstiden). He led Sweden to military supremacy during the Thirty Years' War, helping to determine the political as well as the religious balance of power in Europe. He was formally and posthumously given the name Gustavus Adolphus the Great (Swedish: Gustav Adolf den store, Latin: Gustavus Adolphus Magnus) by the Riksdag of the Estates in 1634.[2][3][4] He is often regarded as one of the greatest military commanders of all time, with innovative use of combined arms.[5] His most notable military victory was the Battle of Breitenfeld (1631). With a superb military machine, good weapons, excellent training, and effective field artillery, backed by an efficient government that could provide necessary funds, Gustavus Adolphus was poised to make himself a major European leader.[6] He was killed a year later, however, at the Battle of Lützen (1632). He was assisted in his efforts by Count Axel Oxenstierna, the Lord High Chancellor of Sweden, who also acted as regent after his death. In an era characterized by almost endless warfare, Gustavus Adolphus inherited three simultaneous and ongoing wars of his father at the age of sixteen. Two of these were border wars with Russia and Denmark, and a more personal war (at least for his father) with Gustavus' first cousin, King Sigismund III Vasa of Poland.[7] Of these three wars that were passed onto his rule, the Danish war was the most acute one.[8] During his reign, Sweden rose from the status of a Baltic Sea basin regional power to one of the great powers of Europe and a model of early modern era government. Gustavus Adolphus is famously known as the "father of modern warfare",[9] or the first great modern general. Under his tutelage, Sweden and the Protestant cause developed a number of excellent commanders, such as Lennart Torstensson, who would go on to defeat Sweden's enemies and expand the boundaries and the power of the empire long after Gustavus Adolphus's death in battle. Spoils meant he became a successful bookraider in Europe, targeting Jesuit collections.[10] Called "The Golden King" and "The Lion of the North", he made Sweden one of the great powers of Europe, in part by reforming the administrative structure. For example, he began parish registration of the population, so that the central government could more efficiently tax and conscript the people.[11] Historian Christer Jorgensen argues that his achievement in the field of economic reform, trade, modernization, and the creation of the modern bureaucratic autocracy was as great as his exploits on the battlefields. His domestic reforms, which transformed a backward, almost medieval economy and society, were in fact not only the foundations for his victories in Germany, but also absolutely crucial for the creation and survival of the Swedish Empire.[12] He is widely commemorated by Protestants in Europe as the main defender of their cause during the Thirty Years' War, with multiple churches, foundations and other undertakings named after him, including the Gustav-Adolf-Werk. He became a symbol of Swedish pride and even had a song composed for him, "Lion From The North."
You beat me to the punch, AND went into more detail than I had planned to. The only thing I have to add is that about an hour from where I live, in St. Peter MN, they have a college named after him: Gustavus Adolphus College.
@MN NM Oh, look, another edgy idiot. Sweden (Along with the other Nordic countries) have a great economy along with high living standards. If you want to see what a shithole country is, have a look at the Muslim countries in the Middle East.
#SABATON listen to En livstid i krig! They are a Swedish band so their songs in Swedish has a lot more feeling to it and especially for us Swedes! Love you all
You guys picked a good one to enter the realm of Sabaton. I'd suggest watching 40:1 live at Woodstock, even if it's just for yourselves and not a reaction. It's pretty awesome.

Such melodic catchy music from Sabaton always. Great musicianship, awesome lyrical. Awesome live band. One of the hardest working bands out there. All their songs give you serious ear worms.
#Sabaton Fields Of Verdun, Macedonia You should absolutely check out more Sabaton! It's the first band that got me into metal way back! Fields Of Verdun is the first track released from their upcoming album "The Great War", dropping this July 29th! Sabaton teaches us about many different wars, battles and heroes through their music. As a history enthusiast myself, it is a match made in heaven! You always come out smarter after listening to a Sabaton song!
I mean absolutely no offense in saying this, but if "way back" Sabaton got you into metal, you must be pretty young. I remember getting into metal back in the late 80's. I don't really remember the first metal song I ever heard, but the first metal albums I ever owned was Among the Living by Anthrax and Rust in Peace by Megadeth. That was about 30 years ago... God I'm getting old. I turn 42 today. 😭😭😭
@@joshuaswanson1977 lol Happy birthday! Yeah I'm 22. But I've been listening to Sabaton for over a decade now, so it's only reasonable that half my lifetime ago seems "way back"! X-D
Just as something for you to check out with sabaton is the sabaton history channel as they talk about what the songs are about from a lyrical and historical point of view
Sabaton is great. The last Stand is amazing. Some of their other albums take a bit to get into but once you do, they are great. The Song Night Witches is incredible. Look that one up and do a vid on it. You'll be humming the words for days after. You guys rock! Up The Irons!
I've always hoped you two would do Sabaton, and oh lord, that face Kel made at 15:23 was worth the wait. Ok, short about me, since you asked. I'm from Norway, so my Sabaton request is the song "Saboteurs". Short about "Saboteurs": During ww2, the allies got news that Germany was making heavy water in occupied Norway. Heavy water is a constituent for preparing plutonium. Norwegian soldiers, trained in Scotland, dropped over nazi-occupied Norway, trying to blow up the heavy water plant to prevent the germans from making a nuclear bomb. True story.
Thanks so much! and thanx for the shoutout! So glad you liked the band, and yes, all their songs are epic. And as bonus most of them are based on real historical events. They Have a channel (Sabaton History Channel) to explain the history behind their songs. Oh and by the way, They are Swedish but are touring the US and Canada soon...

I love Sabaton. I've seen them live three times and own their albums, but I just can't get into this album much. THey have so many great songs on their other albums!
I like to think of Sabaton as modern day bards. They tell epic stories with their music based on real history. Some of these stories are so over the top and epic that you would think they're fiction. If you really want to get into to the top tier Sabaton songs i suggest starting with nightwitches. It's about the Russian 588th night bomber division. The interesting thing about that division was that not only did these bombers use antiquated planes from WW1 during WW2 but they were also all female. They actually became so feared by the Germans that any pilot that managed to shoot one of them down was awarded the iron cross for bravery
Last suggestion, you guys will love this one. Civil War - Knights of Dalecarlia. they are just like sabaton in fact their guitarist used to play for Sabaton
Darian I just took my 10 year old to see his first metal concert - Dragonforce! We were front & center and got to meet the band. So rad!! They could see my son knew all the words to their songs throughout the show 😂😂
I won't request any reaction to a particular Sabaton Song because I can't choose only one song. I would react to you reacting to every Sabaton song of every album which is out there and would loving it. You guys are amazing keep up the good work. (y)
Sabaton should be compulsory in all History classes to help spark and keep children's interest in history :). Thanks for reacting, have a wonderful day.
Great reaction to a GREAT - an under-recommended (there's an "under" word again!) song by SABATON... refreshing! Thank you guys! I did not look at all the comments so maybe I am repeating someone else's trivia point, but the "Carolus Rex" album, based obviously on Swedish history, has also a native language version, and some songs, especially deep and sad ones (there is that side to war...) come off on yet another level. The Swedish version of "A Lifetime of War" ["En Lifstid i Krig", did I spell it right?] comes to mind. Btw, my take is that by now SABATON is (deservedly) getting more spotlight, and moving to the status of a band that is rated just right! :) Of course, you can find Power metal around that is as brilliant (and more complex) - but nobody does the take on history with the edge, panache, seriousness, respect, and overall FEEL for the chosen topic like SABATON do. Yes, they are unique.
If you listen to the carolus rex album you should do the swedish version with english subtitles, highly recommend it. Its better lyricly and you can feel the passion and power more then.
rockoverdose.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sabaton-2018.jpg From left to right: Tommy Johansson aka "The tank engine" (Guitar) Chris Rörland aka "Chipmunk" (Guitar) Joakim Brodén aka "Jodel" (Vocals) Pär Sundström aka "Apple" aka "Enemy of rodents" (Bass) Hannes Van Dahl aka "Hands" aka "Permanent new guy" (Even though he joined in 2014 and Tommy in late 2017) (Drums)
I bet someone has said parts of this already, but I don't have the time to read all the comments. The record that features this song is a concept record that deals with the military and political history of Sweden from around 1500 until the late 1700s. The time that is mostly focused on is what in Swedish is known as Stormaktstiden - The Great Power period. The span of time in question covers early 1600s (1611 to be exact) until the late 1700s (1772 is one proffered end). During this period Sweden was one of the most powerful nations in all of Europe, holding sway over the entire Baltic sea region, Norway, contemporary Sweden, Finland, the Baltic nations of modern day Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, the seaside regions of Poland and a duchy in the north of modern-day Germany (known as Swedish Pommern at the time). When we finally got our asses kicked by Peter the Great of Russia at the river Poltava it was in no small part because he had learned from our military organization, tactics, equipment etc. (which was revolutionary for the time and Pioneered by the man this song is about). He had a tendency to look at the west, adapt it to Russian conditions and put it to practice with remarkable and in the case of military matters, devastating results. At the height of our power, we beat up the Poles, The Russians, The Danish, the Holy League consisting of Catholic nations and military powers (the 30-year war). Everyone. In later years it has unfortunately become controversial (as you might imagine) since it's been hijacked by far-right people and organisations, but regardless of the atrocities the Caroleans (a name for the Elite Swedish Army of the time) committed during their campaigns, it's still a point of national pride in Sweden for many. Some of their actions were horrible and downright dishonorable. I won't go into specifics, but I know a few particular stories that would both horrify and appall any sane person today. Comparatively speaking we were, to my knowledge, no worse than other war-waging nations of the period, however, so I don't understand the teleological (viewing history with contemporary morals) stance a lot of people take on the subject. It's just how things were at that point in time. On the whole, we mattered and had a larger role in shaping the future of Europe than we do today (for better and for worse) in a much more significant way than we do now. As a little side-anecdote, the man that was to become King of Sweden, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, the direct ancestor to our Royal Family even today, was one of the commanders responsible for taking down Napoleon (one of the times, the man sure was resilient and didn't give up). alright, that's enough ranting, I just love history and I'm not afraid to share it haha :D
They've got new songs out, "Bismark" and "Fields of Verdun". Also, Bismark has got an amazing music video! First time seeing your channel, subscribed and liked! Keep it up! Edit: Just saw you did a video on Bismark.
Sabaton is a fresh breez here in Sweden, most of our big bands are either Death/Black/Progg metal :D They have great energy and are awsome live, you should check it out!
Gustav Adolf (Gustavus Adodolus) was one of the major defenders of Marthin Luthers theses and a defender of the Protestant church agains the pope in Rome
PLS more Sabaton :) Hell and back, Carulus rex, Bismarck, Night witches, Ghost division, Final Saluotion, The last stand They have so many great songs. Their songs is about historic events. They have their history chanel here on youtube Sabaton history
Another amazing band you should check out is Kamelot. There are a ton of great songs I could suggest, but I'd have to go with either Hunter's Season, as it's about the guitar player's mother who passed away when they were writing the album, or The Human Stain, which is essentially about how the planet is dying and we're not doing much to stop it. They've covered a huge number of real world topics over the years as well as a pair of concept albums about the classic Faust (Epica/The Black Halo, which are two of my favorite albums of all time). I've been listening to them since 2005 and they've remained one of my favorite bands ever since.
He is not screaming! This is him just being loud. Even slower and calmer songs are soo powerful. Listen to "A lifetime of war" - It is great. And like this song, it is also about the 30 years war. All protestants have Gustav Adolf to thank that they even exist! Without him the catholics would have won the 30 years war and there would just be catholics. Every theme of every sabaton song should be searched in wikipedia! They are just so damn great! Like all their songs on this album, there is a english and a swedish version. Both with the same melody, but differen lyrics and meaning.
When(I'd say if but it's pretty sure you gonna do more :P ) you do more Sabaton, you could do Screaming eagles - it's about 101st Airborne division during Battle of the Bulge, they've done really cool official music video for it, and the song is amazing...
Speaking of military history behind the song, this I would assume should(I never looked up if it actually is), be about Gustav II. Adolph, king of Sweden during the Thirty year war, where Sweden took side of Protestant Union during later parts of War - I believe 1630-1648(war went from 1618-1648 - 30 years, thus the name of course)... Gustavus would die during the fighting in I believe 1632, tho
#DavidMaximMIcic Everything's fine (intro) followed by Where is now, from Gatineau Québec, this song brings so much nostalgia and joy at the same time! I know you two will love it.
Sabaton are a Swedish metall band singing about historical events. This song, Lions from the North are about the Swedish king Gustaf Adolf (latin Gustavo Adolphus) who lived more than 400 years ago. Please react to Sabatons song Coat of Arms. Thank you.
If you want the full experience for this song and album, try the swedish version; feels even more powerful imo! Also, #demons and wizards -fiddler on the green, i'm from canada, the band is a collab between Hansi of blind guardian and john schaeffer of iced earth, this song hits you right in the feels with its story and execution, a must listen, you might cry though
He does have a powerful voice and it fits this kind of music. I’ve never heard of this band but I do want to hear more of their songs. How about #AprilWine “I like to rock”. Another underrated classic rock band. #Cinderella “The more things change”. Keep doing what you do, this is fun to watch.
#AmonAmarth Crack the sky, Ravens Flight, Sheild Wall, Twilight of the Thunder God. I am from Iceland and these songs are amazing. You should defenitly check them out, this band along with Sabaton are one of my favorite bands. They are special to me for one because they are Nordic like me and they sing about Vikings which I have much heritage of.
I would love you guys to react to #Rodrigo y Gabriela # Hanuman. They are a Latina couple, that are self taught and play guitars. They do not sing but they have been around for years and now tour huge stadiums around the world and play their guitars. They are 100% instrumental but holy crap, they are UNBELIEVABLE. Please check them out. Hopefully, some of your other followers will also agree. Guys THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!!!!!!
Welcome to Sabaton.....No Going Back lol....."The Last Stand" Is amazing
Bismarck is kinda better ;)

There is going back, but only from hell ;)

Interestingly he was also one of the main characters in Eric Flint's 1632 series were he gets helped by West Virginian town from the future.
I can belive all the other stuff on this list, except the last part. You want me to belive this guy had a song written about him? Sounds far fetched.

Such melodic catchy music from Sabaton always. Great musicianship, awesome lyrical. Awesome live band. One of the hardest working bands out there. All their songs give you serious ear worms.
#Sabaton To Hell And Back, song about Audie Murphy, American WW2 soldier that received every US combat award from valor. From my home state of Texas
#Sabaton Fields Of Verdun, Macedonia
You should absolutely check out more Sabaton! It's the first band that got me into metal way back!
Fields Of Verdun is the first track released from their upcoming album "The Great War", dropping this July 29th!
Sabaton teaches us about many different wars, battles and heroes through their music.
As a history enthusiast myself, it is a match made in heaven!
You always come out smarter after listening to a Sabaton song!
I mean absolutely no offense in saying this, but if "way back" Sabaton got you into metal, you must be pretty young. I remember getting into metal back in the late 80's. I don't really remember the first metal song I ever heard, but the first metal albums I ever owned was Among the Living by Anthrax and Rust in Peace by Megadeth. That was about 30 years ago... God I'm getting old. I turn 42 today. 😭😭😭
@@joshuaswanson1977 lol Happy birthday! Yeah I'm 22. But I've been listening to Sabaton for over a decade now, so it's only reasonable that half my lifetime ago seems "way back"! X-D
Rich that is a great perspective on this vocalist's presentation and voice.
Just as something for you to check out with sabaton is the sabaton history channel as they talk about what the songs are about from a lyrical and historical point of view
Sabaton is great. The last Stand is amazing. Some of their other albums take a bit to get into but once you do, they are great. The Song Night Witches is incredible. Look that one up and do a vid on it. You'll be humming the words for days after. You guys rock! Up The Irons!
Thanks for this Song!
I've always hoped you two would do Sabaton, and oh lord, that face Kel made at 15:23 was worth the wait.
Ok, short about me, since you asked. I'm from Norway, so my Sabaton request is the song "Saboteurs".
Short about "Saboteurs": During ww2, the allies got news that Germany was making heavy water in occupied Norway. Heavy water is a constituent for preparing plutonium. Norwegian soldiers, trained in Scotland, dropped over nazi-occupied Norway, trying to blow up the heavy water plant to prevent the germans from making a nuclear bomb.
True story.
Owwwww guys. Do Carolus Rex!
Rich, you dont have to go green or yellow! Just go GREEN AND YELLOW, GREEN BAY BABY!
Song of a Baker ( Small Faces ) live version from Colour Me Pop Tv Programme. Circa 1968
Thanks Phil .
Thanks so much! and thanx for the shoutout! So glad you liked the band, and yes, all their songs are epic. And as bonus most of them are based on real historical events. They Have a channel (Sabaton History Channel) to explain the history behind their songs. Oh and by the way, They are Swedish but are touring the US and Canada soon...
Take a look at Sabatons new Song "Bismarck", the music video is unbelievably good

I love Sabaton. I've seen them live three times and own their albums, but I just can't get into this album much. THey have so many great songs on their other albums!
This album is sweet too! Try listening to poltava and long live the king again ; p
subscribed because of that top
It's about fuckin time I saw a comment about that. ME TOO! Gaddayum!
#sabaton ty for reacting you should check out more of them you guys rock
I like to think of Sabaton as modern day bards. They tell epic stories with their music based on real history. Some of these stories are so over the top and epic that you would think they're fiction. If you really want to get into to the top tier Sabaton songs i suggest starting with nightwitches. It's about the Russian 588th night bomber division. The interesting thing about that division was that not only did these bombers use antiquated planes from WW1 during WW2 but they were also all female. They actually became so feared by the Germans that any pilot that managed to shoot one of them down was awarded the iron cross for bravery
Welcome to the Sabaton family, we are a lovely bunch. :)
Last suggestion, you guys will love this one. Civil War - Knights of Dalecarlia. they are just like sabaton in fact their guitarist used to play for Sabaton
if yall like that guitar in this song, you might also like the song heros of our time by dragonforce, or maybe any of their songs
Darian I just took my 10 year old to see his first metal concert - Dragonforce! We were front & center and got to meet the band. So rad!! They could see my son knew all the words to their songs throughout the show 😂😂
I won't request any reaction to a particular Sabaton Song because I can't choose only one song. I would react to you reacting to every Sabaton song of every album which is out there and would loving it. You guys are amazing keep up the good work. (y)
Sabaton should be compulsory in all History classes to help spark and keep children's interest in history :). Thanks for reacting, have a wonderful day.
Great reaction to a GREAT - an under-recommended (there's an "under" word again!) song by SABATON... refreshing! Thank you guys! I did not look at all the comments so maybe I am repeating someone else's trivia point, but the "Carolus Rex" album, based obviously on Swedish history, has also a native language version, and some songs, especially deep and sad ones (there is that side to war...) come off on yet another level. The Swedish version of "A Lifetime of War" ["En Lifstid i Krig", did I spell it right?] comes to mind.
Btw, my take is that by now SABATON is (deservedly) getting more spotlight, and moving to the status of a band that is rated just right! :) Of course, you can find Power metal around that is as brilliant (and more complex) - but nobody does the take on history with the edge, panache, seriousness, respect, and overall FEEL for the chosen topic like SABATON do. Yes, they are unique.
nothing more epic than sabaton
hell and back
uprising
price of mile
Lovve from Sweden as allways guys
Great song
October 4 and 5 Sabaton will play Florida: Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa!!!
Check Sabaton histrory chanel!!! History thru metal👍💪👊
T Rex .Children of the Revolution... You won't be disappointed. Thanks again , Phil.
Cant wait for the Havok reactions, it will bring many guitar faces and or face melting
If you listen to the carolus rex album you should do the swedish version with english subtitles, highly recommend it.
Its better lyricly and you can feel the passion and power more then.
Hear these two songs #Lambofgod - grace and #Lambofgod - in your words. These songs remind my old life

Epic nice one guys
I bet someone has said parts of this already, but I don't have the time to read all the comments. The record that features this song is a concept record that deals with the military and political history of Sweden from around 1500 until the late 1700s. The time that is mostly focused on is what in Swedish is known as Stormaktstiden - The Great Power period. The span of time in question covers early 1600s (1611 to be exact) until the late 1700s (1772 is one proffered end). During this period Sweden was one of the most powerful nations in all of Europe, holding sway over the entire Baltic sea region, Norway, contemporary Sweden, Finland, the Baltic nations of modern day Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, the seaside regions of Poland and a duchy in the north of modern-day Germany (known as Swedish Pommern at the time). When we finally got our asses kicked by Peter the Great of Russia at the river Poltava it was in no small part because he had learned from our military organization, tactics, equipment etc. (which was revolutionary for the time and Pioneered by the man this song is about). He had a tendency to look at the west, adapt it to Russian conditions and put it to practice with remarkable and in the case of military matters, devastating results.
At the height of our power, we beat up the Poles, The Russians, The Danish, the Holy League consisting of Catholic nations and military powers (the 30-year war). Everyone. In later years it has unfortunately become controversial (as you might imagine) since it's been hijacked by far-right people and organisations, but regardless of the atrocities the Caroleans (a name for the Elite Swedish Army of the time) committed during their campaigns, it's still a point of national pride in Sweden for many. Some of their actions were horrible and downright dishonorable. I won't go into specifics, but I know a few particular stories that would both horrify and appall any sane person today. Comparatively speaking we were, to my knowledge, no worse than other war-waging nations of the period, however, so I don't understand the teleological (viewing history with contemporary morals) stance a lot of people take on the subject. It's just how things were at that point in time.
On the whole, we mattered and had a larger role in shaping the future of Europe than we do today (for better and for worse) in a much more significant way than we do now. As a little side-anecdote, the man that was to become King of Sweden, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, the direct ancestor to our Royal Family even today, was one of the commanders responsible for taking down Napoleon (one of the times, the man sure was resilient and didn't give up).
alright, that's enough ranting, I just love history and I'm not afraid to share it haha :D
DO YOU GUYS A FAVOR AND TRY MORE WINTERSUN
They've got new songs out, "Bismark" and "Fields of Verdun". Also, Bismark has got an amazing music video! First time seeing your channel, subscribed and liked! Keep it up!
Edit: Just saw you did a video on Bismark.
Sabaton is a fresh breez here in Sweden, most of our big bands are either Death/Black/Progg metal :D
They have great energy and are awsome live, you should check it out!
Awesome shirt, Rich ;)
4:58, was the moment you gained another sub, had a good laugh at that lol
Sabaton - Panzerkampf , Begging you guys
HeavyRulez YES 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gustav Adolf (Gustavus Adodolus) was one of the major defenders of Marthin Luthers theses and a defender of the Protestant church agains the pope in Rome
PLS more Sabaton :) Hell and back, Carulus rex, Bismarck, Night witches, Ghost division, Final Saluotion, The last stand They have so many great songs. Their songs is about historic events. They have their history chanel here on youtube Sabaton history
Another amazing band you should check out is Kamelot. There are a ton of great songs I could suggest, but I'd have to go with either Hunter's Season, as it's about the guitar player's mother who passed away when they were writing the album, or The Human Stain, which is essentially about how the planet is dying and we're not doing much to stop it. They've covered a huge number of real world topics over the years as well as a pair of concept albums about the classic Faust (Epica/The Black Halo, which are two of my favorite albums of all time). I've been listening to them since 2005 and they've remained one of my favorite bands ever since.
And of you like the lyrics, then there is möte of the backstory on Sabaton history. Well Wirth checking it out
To Hell and Back - Sabaton
Werewolves of Armenia - Powerwolf
Into The Storm - Tyr
Sabaton, eh? Hehe, here we go. "Killing Ground," "Primo Victoria," "The Price Of A Mile," "The Rise Of Evil," just to name a few :)
Please more Sabaton!
He is not screaming! This is him just being loud. Even slower and calmer songs are soo powerful.
Listen to "A lifetime of war" - It is great. And like this song, it is also about the 30 years war.
All protestants have Gustav Adolf to thank that they even exist! Without him the catholics would have won the 30 years war and there would just be catholics. Every theme of every sabaton song should be searched in wikipedia! They are just so damn great!
Like all their songs on this album, there is a english and a swedish version. Both with the same melody, but differen lyrics and meaning.
other Sabaton songs you should do. the last stand, to hell and back, price of a mile, twilight of the thunder god
Agreed a man who screeeming was DIO HE DESTROYED BLACK SABBATH SOME YEAR!
When(I'd say if but it's pretty sure you gonna do more :P ) you do more Sabaton, you could do Screaming eagles - it's about 101st Airborne division during Battle of the Bulge, they've done really cool official music video for it, and the song is amazing...
Speaking of military history behind the song, this I would assume should(I never looked up if it actually is), be about Gustav II. Adolph, king of Sweden during the Thirty year war, where Sweden took side of Protestant Union during later parts of War - I believe 1630-1648(war went from 1618-1648 - 30 years, thus the name of course)... Gustavus would die during the fighting in I believe 1632, tho
Sabaton!!!
#DavidMaximMIcic Everything's fine (intro) followed by Where is now, from Gatineau Québec, this song brings so much nostalgia and joy at the same time! I know you two will love it.
Sabaton are a Swedish metall band singing about historical events.
This song, Lions from the North are about the Swedish king Gustaf Adolf (latin Gustavo Adolphus) who lived more than 400 years ago.
Please react to Sabatons song Coat of Arms.
Thank you.
If you want the full experience for this song and album, try the swedish version; feels even more powerful imo! Also, #demons and wizards -fiddler on the green, i'm from canada, the band is a collab between Hansi of blind guardian and john schaeffer of iced earth, this song hits you right in the feels with its story and execution, a must listen, you might cry though
He does have a powerful voice and it fits this kind of music. I’ve never heard of this band but I do want to hear more of their songs. How about #AprilWine “I like to rock”. Another underrated classic rock band. #Cinderella “The more things change”. Keep doing what you do, this is fun to watch.
Go look them up... And welcome to the army of sabaton.
#SeventhWonder - The Great Escape
30 minutes long masterpiece that I believe you would love.

Tiara's Song would be a good Seventh Wonder introduction for Kel N Rich :)
#Twilight Force there and back again hi! I'm Pablo from Costa Rica!!

They do not sing but they have been around for years and now tour huge stadiums around the world and play their guitars. They are 100% instrumental but holy crap, they are UNBELIEVABLE. Please check them out. Hopefully, some of your other followers will also agree. Guys THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!!!!!!
