Sabaton are a Swedish metal band, considered power metal by some. Almost all of their songs are about true events in war/military history
only Finnish i know from them is Floor from Nightwish which is the drummers wife
I think the only non-history songs are covers of other metal songs and songs honoring their metal predecessors.
@@ryannelson3220 Floor is from the Netherlands. She lived in Finnland for a few years but when she married Hannes, she moved to Sweden.
@@michaelmccarthy5455 yep, Metal Crue, Metal Machine, Metalizer, Masters of the World, and Kingdom Come are the ones I can name off the top of my head.
Camouflage is also a cover
He knows!!
Always amusing to see Joakim run around at full speed while singing perfectly. And in between, bashing his knee because why not. 😎
Ghost Division was shot at the Woodstock Festival Poland infront of over 600 000 people. Some say that during som part of the concert there was almost 800 000 attendees. Sabaton is massively popular in Poland as they have several songs of Polish heroes or events during history.
When 500 000 + Polish people cheering a WW2 German general, in Ghostdivision then they must do something right.....😃
@@peterkensborn8035 Yeah - That's right. Sabaton says this about the song:
"In "Ghost Division" we wrote about the armored division under the command of Erwin Rommel. The guy was not an avid Nazi, he just followed orders, and at the same time he was a great commander who could show a lot of respect to the opponent and his soldiers. I think he managed to remain human after all. Even if he fought on the "wrong side."
@ The Western allies fought on the "wrong side" too if you put it like that, because that's more than you can say about any Soviet general, whether he was in on the Stauffenberg coup or not. It is certainly not uncommon for Poles to dislike Russia as much, or more, for WWII.
They both invaded Poland at about the same time, but Stalin killed about three times as much people in direct purges. If you are Jewish, it is another thing, and I understand and respect that. I am neither German, "Soviet" or jewish. I just look at the totality, and claiming a moral high ground for Stalin is nearly impossible, even compared to such an evil man as Hitler.
Yeah that was the craziest ever even for Sabaton. To play 40:0, rise of evil and Warsaw uprising must have been something one takes to the grave. My god that was cool.
As a Swede these are close to my heart. Sabaton always sing about war stories, from different sides. They have another channel, called Sabaton history, that tells the story around the songs. View it as a history lesson while you enjoy some good music ;-)
Hi from Sweden. 🇸🇪 Sabaton is really close to my heart also! ❤️🇸🇪❤️ Sabaton is my favorite band, And will always be that! ❤️🇸🇪😎🤘 This is the best band in the whole world if you ask me! ❤️🇸🇪 Kind regards from a big Sabaton fan in Nothern Sweden ❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️
They spare no expense when making videos. Some are like mini movies. Christmas truce is a good example. They have 2 youtube channels. The second is a channel that talks the history behind their videos. I am a patreon of that one. One of them is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish
Drummers married to Floor.
Great Swedish metal band that deals with heroic stories throughout history( no they don't glorify war just tell the tales of those who were caught up in it). Great band with an awesome stage show. Their MVs are mini movies, Christmas Truce, No Bullets Fly, Bismarck, etc. Woodstock is an annual festival held in Poland, here 700,000 fans rocked out to a great band. BTW the drummer Hans is married to Floor of Nightwish. They are a group you have to see LIVE to truly appreciate their greatness.
floor isnt a part of nightwish. its annette olzon, no?
@@KrystalHarwood-ty7rk Annette was the singer before Floor (Floor is amazing). I never heard Annette sing because I started to listen to nightwish just two years ago.
@@KrystalHarwood-ty7rk Floor has been the leadsinger in Nightwish för 10 years and she is fantastic. Anette left 2012
@@KrystalHarwood-ty7rk Floor joined mid-tour 2012.
@@KrystalHarwood-ty7rk whаt year do you live?
Another great band i'm biased because im also Swedish, a song i would recommend is En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg, it's a heavy and emotional power ballad with amazing crowd, i recommend using captions because it's in swedish and the song is much more impactful if you understand the lyrics.
I love that one
I was there, it was one hell of a show.
I get a kick out of they toured the US and one of the venues they played was the Ryman in Nashville
My first Sabaton song was Rise of Evil but that was before I knew anything about them or who they were. It wasn’t until after I discovered them and listened to Rise of Evil that I recognized it. It’s a bone chilling and underrated song, I even used the lyric “A former prisoner, with a vision or delusion?” as a title for an essay on Nazi Germany.
More Sabaton 🤘
I agree, More Sabaton please😊🤘🇸🇪🇸🇪🤘😊
Great one
SABATON they are from Sweden
And guest what
They about to tour all over Europe which BABYMETAL
THE TOUR TO END ALL TOURS
JUST AMAZING COMING YOUR WAY
this are most probably the two best live performers in the world
Just saying
I am going to see them in Oslo 29 April. Counting the days.. 🤘
@@ingerkristine3597
Please post some pictures
And let us know how it is
Sabaton we love today is rather like Ghost Division (2008) and less like Rice of Evil (2006) in my opinion very dark and heavy. I love this Swedish band because they're modern bards who sing about war battles and soldiers from all over the world not taking side. The band started in 1999 and become successful from 2005. They have great songs, music videos, story videos, lyric videos, great concerts (plenty of them), the history channel and many more...
Thank you for your reaction! Ghost Division song is one of many during the three day free festival in Poland (2012). I love this concert!!! :-) This August I was at the concert in Cracow - amazing memories!
Rice of evil 💀💀💀💀💀
Hitler's rice 😏🔥 😂😂
The difference between the "Rise of Evil" video and "Ghost Division" is that RoE was a vintage performance from that era, and GD was a more recent performance and they've had a much longer time to hone their skills and stage performance. And the band had become much more famous by that Woodstock performance as well. The band has undergone several major line-up changes over the years. With most of the instrument players (except the bassist) leaving in 2012 to form the band Civil War with the vocalist from Astral Doors. And that band did a Trilogy of albums based on the 3 Civil War books "The Killer Angels" which the film Gettysburg was based on, "Gods & Generals" the second film, and then "The Last Full Measure" the never filmed 3rd film. They just released a 4th album last year that is still military and Civil War themed, but not a part of the Trilogy. But looking through the track lists of all 4 albums, the song titles are all over the place in terms of what period of history they cover. Check some videos from Civil War. They're pretty cool as well. You'll have to do a search for "Civil War band" to find them.
I agree with Brian Flyer TW - their videos are so good, and they are good history lessons since their songs are about stuff and persons that are real. They strive to describe the events and persons as historical correct as possible. Must say that I get goosebumps everytime I watch Christmas Truce. Can't wait to see them in Oslo!
As others have said, They are military historians. Every song is a history lesson. Well researched history put to song. They can bring tears to your eyes with some of their videos. Try and use the captions where you can, with future reactions.
Soldier of Three Armies, 40:1(live in Poland,Woodstock!!!) ,Sparta, etc ,etc, lots of good stuff.
The Rise of Evil is about The Final Solution and Ghost Division is about the invasion of France in WW2. If you wanna learn more about the history that inspired both songs, and any other they've written, you should check out the Sabaton History channel.
No Rise of evil is about how NSDAP and Hitler came to power.
The Rise of Evil is more about mustache man's rise to power and the actions he performed over-all, They have a song dedicated purely to the Final Solution from Coat of Arms, but this was 7 months ago, so for all I know, your comment may be outdated from the knowledge you know.
We who love Sabaton also love Nightwish, Rammstein, Jinjer, Arch Enemy, The Warning, Aurora, Highasakite Sigrid, Dimmu Borgir and Girl in Red 😎😈❤️🇧🇻
Way back in the day, we used to call that Arena Metal.. songs clearly made to give that 'larger than life' feeling.
Manowar and Dream Evil were very much at the forefront of that back in the day. Now its just sort of blended into Power Metal. Not that I'm, complaining of course lol
Woodstock festival was in Poland, the festival still existing but with the name of Poland Rock, its a crowd over 350 000 peoples there.
My first Sabaton song was Ghost Division! I was SOLD! ^^
A couple of my friends had been to a Hammerfall concert (in 2008 or 9-ish), and this unknown band, Sabaton, was warming up ... I was send two Sabaron songs, and I went down the Sabaton rabbit hole and never looked back! ^^ \m/
My first was Bismarck! That song and its power sucked me in and I have not let go yet lol
@@MitchBen Well ... Sabaton WILL do that to you ... I have already "converted" several people to the right "faith" of Sabaton worship! The oldest is a lady in her 60'ies! I got her with Fields of Verdun! ^^
Recommend - The Price of a Mile, 40-1, Uprising, The Last Battle, The Attack Of The Dead Men, Carolus Rex, The Lost Battalion, Christmas Truce, The Unkillable Soldier, Ruina Imperii, Long Live the King
The „Przystanek Woodstock“ (because of copyright problems renamed to „Pol'and'Rock Festival“ is a gigantic summer festival (500.000 to 750.000 visitors) wich every year since 1995 tooks place in 3 day’s every August in Poland near the border to Germany. The idea of the festival is to say thank you to all the people who actively help collect donations for children's hospitals every January. It is the largest Free & Outdoor Festival in Europe. The PolAndRock Festival shows a few dozen bands from home and abroad. The main theme of the music is generally rock, but the genres represented range from folk to experimentation to metal. Reggae, electronic music and even classical music have also been featured in recent years. The bands that have performed at the Polish festival so far include, for example: Papa Roach, The Prodigy, Guano Apes, Anthrax, Enter Shikari, Kaiser Chiefs, Nigel Kennedy, Gentleman, Korpiklaani, Die Toten Hosen, Kiling Joke, The Stranglers , Beatsteaks, Machine Head, The Darkness, Ministry, Asian Dub Foundation, Anti-Flag, The Qemists, Hardcore Superstar, ThePetebox etc. In addition to the concerts on two stages, there are many other events during the festival. The Academy of Fine Arts is a place where young people meet well-known politicians, artists, journalists, musicians, actors and religious leaders like Kesang Takla - the Northern European representative of the Dalai Lama.
the songs you covered here aren't even scratching the surface of what all they covered. Yeah, loads of people here have already pointed out that they're a Swedish metal band with a focus on military history, but they're also a *warmetal* band that have been awarded the Swedish "Enlightener of the Year 2022" for coming up with a new way for anyone listening to them to look further into a person/event that most of their songs have covered, and they're showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. You'll probably want to take a few weeks to go through their library.
They're basically bards of the modern age.
Swedish War metal band they tell the stories of the history of war See their channel Sabaton history
sabaton are really great, you should deffinetly check out some of their music videos like bismarck and soldier of heaven for example. they also have a history channel where they talk more about the songs and what happend during the things they are about.
the guitarrist Tommy Johansson also has his own band called Majestica and on his channel he releases a cover every friday :) take a look at for example phantom of the opera, blinding lights, una canzone d'amore and more. he is a great singer, instrumentalist and so much more.
have fun checking it all out :)
It's February 2023 and you are just now diving into Sabaton? I've been following the band since 2004 with the debut album "Primo Victoria" which ironically wasn't their first recorded album. The first recorded was "Metalized" which was later released as their 3rd album, with a slight remix across the board.
Than you!!! Amazing Band❤️
Could you react to the official music video of Christmas Truce? It’s listed on RUclips as SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Music Video). The official music video is definitely the best version for a reaction.
If you do react to it, be sure to listen all the way through; the song continues during the end credits.
I have learned more about history in the last 5 years, than I have in the last 50 before that, thanks to Sabaton... You want to see an amazing crowd? En livstid i krig - and you will have a thrill in Swedish.
Sweden Band❤️❤️❤️
Sabaton has a loooong list of history based music, it is kind of their theme, here is a short list
animated STORY videos
No bullets fly
Night witches
lady of the dark
red baron
epic ones,
Bismark, about the sinking of the ship
Defence of Moscow, self explained.
40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered m(just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939
Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising during 1944.
To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face.
Fields of verdun, the 300+ day l8ng battle fought there.
Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge
Live performance
40:1 from poland
Uprising from poland
En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about a young man going to war.
these are just some, there are plenty more.
This video is from Sabaton's own festival in their hometown Falun in Sweden.I was there:) Me and hubby goes there every year.Its around 20 000 people who comes to the festival.A lot of fans volunteering as crews from all over the world.
SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg)
Copy paste this and thank me later.
Also, enable subtitles for the lyrics.
Well as many others have said, Sabaton is a Swedish band and not finish.
Sabaton is very popular amoung reaction channels, you have made an interesting choise of some other songs than most others. Most start with Bismark or Christmas truce, but you can never go wrong with Sabaton.
I saw them live just three days ago in a small concert, great fun to sing along to their songs.
Like others have commented, they sing about true war stories and they have a history channel on YT where they talk more about the stories than fit in the songs.
Hope you like them and will continue the journey with them
I saw them live for the first time 6 days ago, it was awsome
The Polish festival gets audiences
about the size of:
Wyoming
Vermont
or Washington DC
just to put it in perspective
It was not the "Woodstock" you are thinking of, this was "Woodstock Festival Poland" but is now called "Pol'and'Rock Festival."
Sabaton 😎😈🥳🇧🇻
It's obvious why Rise of Evil isn't popular, but I enjoy it. Ghost division is also a top favorite of mine
I'd highly suggest 40:1 at woodstock, by far one of their best performances.
Amazing band. Tons of great songs 🤘
well over 500k peeps, ya, thats a ton of people.... want a more mellow version of them, to Christmas Truce
Bismarck and Race to the Sea are great tunes to check out among many others.
I'm glad u enjoyed them!! Next try Night Witches (LIVE) or Carolus Rex
I was just at Tobbe’s (guitarist) house on work, like 30 min ago.
Good lad👍!
The newer drummer is Floor Jansen s husband 😎❤️🇧🇻
Also, Sabaton are huge in Poland even though it's a Swedish band because of their polish patriotic songs. Hence te 500 000- a million at Woodstock that you saw. It's Nuts
I'm sure that people already have said this, but have a look at the animated versions. They are often something of a history lesson :p
00:40 "It's time to talk about something I hold truly dear, namely my penis - it's 'The Rise of Evil'!" 🤣🤣🤣
I saw them in a small venue in Worcester Ma with about 2k people and they put that much energy it the show.
some people say Sabaton is promoting/glorifying war
and to them Imma just use a quote from the song "price of the mile
"And as the night falls the general calls
And the battle carries on and on
How long?
What is the purpose of it all
What's the price of a mile?"
Well said
Thank You ❤
Sabaton is about power and lyrics. Yes, they are musically very good and it sounds very well. Nice to listen to. But ... not until you dig deep into their lyrics you understand their greatness. They are war history nerds with a pacifistic message. They sing a lot about WW2. But also Vikings and other wars, such as the 30 year war. I recommend you to put on captions.
I recommend ”En livstid i krig”.
At least one of the others have suggested it, but I recommend "En Livstid I Krig", this version >>> ruclips.net/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/видео.html It is in Swedish, but it has subtitles. Turn them on. Damn fine song.
Sweden my friend!
Very heavy
Choosing Rise of Evil as your first Sabaton song is very interesting lol
my brother introduced me to Sabaton a few years back and at first i was hesitant due to him liking screamo music like death metal and the like which i really don't. so i wasn't to keen or expecting anything out of the ordinary of him when he recommended it to me. but after a little bit of coaxing telling me that he was recommending it because he knew i was very knowledgeable and interested in WW1/2 and the song he was recommending me was the song Night Witches. i had never heard of them before so i listened to the song and found up it was just basic rock, which i like. but i also liked how it was basically a heavy metal history lesson that was actually enjoyable. after looking up who the Night Witches were, i learned that they were a Russian an all female night bombing regiment called "Night Bombing Regiment 588". they made the Germans shit themselves with how much damage they caused them despite using obsolete WW1 planes and only numbering 40 at their largest. they were so feared in fact that if you could prove you downed a Night Witch you automatically got an Iron Cross, which normally took about 25 confirmed kills to get. so think about that downing a plane was normally 1 kill, downing a heavy bomber was considered up to 3 at once, while 1 Night Witch, despite using obsolete equipment and horribly outnumbered, was automatically worth the 25 you needed to get the Iron Cross. thats how scared the Germans were of them when they made an attack.
Please change row
now
and
then, it is really hard to read a long message without spaces between, but yes Night Witches animated music video is really good. Have a good one=)
@@tomi_9212 sorry i just kinda get engrossed and passionate when i talk about stuff regarding WW1/2 ^-^;;
Wow, it's been a minute since I've heard "Rise of Evil." That off their 2nd album "Attero Dominatus." Their signature sound wasn't really solidified until their 4th album.
Christmas Truce should be the next one u do by Sabaton
Most of their song is about history and historical people. Things you never heard of befor. Try an old one aswell. They did good music 20 years ago aswell
they ARE the genre
@Cheezy their song Christmas Truce is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard, of any genre. Watch the official video, even the credits .The voice over the credits is married to Sabaton's drummer). I have not yet made it through with a dry eye.
Never heard No Bullets Fly animated music video+ its ending ?
Also try ”christmas truce ”. More powerfull .
Check out Nomy - Can't help falling in love!
650K @ Woodstock!
Hi there . Try ”in flanders field ” . Same group
The drummer are married to Floor Jansen, the singer of nightwish
I would probobly say this song is a bit Atypical for sabaton. Most of them are actually quite catchy
😊🇫🇮💙🇸🇪🎼✨💯🤘
Perhaps now is good time to check out Nightwish, Finnish🇫🇮 Symphonic Metal Band. Ewry single song from Wacken-13 Party is pure Gold. Most reactors start with 'Ghost Love Score', no matter what song you pick up
😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘
Mandatory 'en livstid il krig' live recommendation
Check out Christmas truce
They could very well have been finish but no, Swedish. And you should listen to en Krigstid i bön and livgardet in Swedish (with subtitles).
I would have given anything to have been at Woodstock at that Concert
Sweden
I would definitely suggest 40:1 and screaming eagles. Τhey have ghost division energy and in my opinion are even better!
Oh, that's the aftershow band for the upcoming Babymetal tour. Kinda slow, but nice to flatten the energy after Babymetal.
