When I worked as a history teacher in high school, I used to play Sabaton often and we had large historic battle presentations using Warhammer fantasy miniatures during classes. Really helped making my class popular
@@isaiahwelch8066 Honestly, as a high school student myself, anything like that will get kids into history. Make it fun, make it interactive and high energy. The glorious rise and bitter fall of empires, the coming of new eras, the brutality of battles etc, you have to actually set in the reality of the fact that they are learning history. They are learning the world and the reality people just like them have faced in the past.
@@isaiahwelch8066 Yes, sure. The games are not the point, since we did not play Warhammer. I just used miniatures to visually depict historic battles. When I taught WW2 I used tank models I collected and painted from various manufacturers in combination with Warhammer Empire handguners and Dwarf thunderers since those are the only miniatures I have with guns... Tabletop games and miniatures are irrelevant, anything can be used
@@sayaphantom6385 Thank you very much. It means a lot. I have always loved history, but hated history classes, so I decided to do something different as a teacher. I created a completely new class called "Military history" where we learn about tactics, equipment, most important historic battles etc. When the topic was the Battle of Agincourt I dressed one student into my plate armor as a show piece to demonstrate how difficult it actually was to kill an armored opponent and the student had a chance to try holding various longswords, arming swords, maces etc. and draw 80 pound longbow so they would appreciate what those people went trough
"Crowned by God, not but the church, as my power is divine." Carolus Rex basically bypassed the church and said that his power was given to him by God, making the church's power significantly smaller.
Mind this is less about the power of the Church per se than the fact that in Swedish Protestantism the King of Sweden was Gods representative on Earth basically the same as the Pope in Catholicism. Hence why he, King Karl, viewed himself as above all oaths to the church.
@@Kaadilac Charles XII "Carolus Rex" died when he was around 35 or 36 years old, there is this conspiracy theory that his own men shot him on purpose in the battlefield
@@bondeboy2715 no he didnt? Charles XII was born in 1682, and Charles XI died in 1697 before his birthday, so for a few months after his death, he was 14. I think you may have misunderstood my comment?
I was thinking decades of war yes it's slower but I feel like it would be a good listen to show how versatile the band is in terms of both vocals and in sound
Carolus Rex, you may not know, is Latin for "King Charles." I know this because North and South Carolina are both named for a British king named Charles. Ergo, "Carolus" is Latin for Charles, the way "Carolina" is.
it gets kinda messy too, cus his name is actually karl in swedish. translated to charles which i believe is the french version of the name and the more common use. and also, as you pointed out, carolus is the latin version.
I highly suggest listening to Sparta. As you might think, its about the 300 Spartans against the Persian Army. Theres honestly so many good songs, its hard to choose any single one to suggest, so Im gonna do em all. Last Stand, Panzerleid, Primo Victoria, To Hell and Back [that one I cant recommend enough], Rorke's Drift, and theres just so many that I cant remember them all.
Many, many years ago, when Persia came ashore Heeding Leonidas' call, the Spartans went to war Joined by their brothers, a few against the fateful horde Hellenic hearts are set aflame, The hot gate calls their name A final stand, stop the Persians, spear in hand Form a wall, live to fall, and live Forever Sparta! Hellas! Then, and again, sing of three hundred men! Slaughter! Persians! Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender! Morning has broken, today they're fighting in the shade When arrows blocked the sun, they fell, Tonight they dine in Hell By traitor's hand, secret passage to their Land Know his name, know his shame will last forever Sparta! Hellas! Then, and again, sing of three hundred men! Slaughter! Persians! Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender! Sparta! Hellas! Then, and again, sing of three hundred men! Slaughter! Persians! Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender! lyricstranslate.com/en/sabaton-sparta-lyrics.html
I'm not even Swedish but I prefer the Swedish version for almost all the songs on Carolus Rex. I do know Swedish though since I've been learning it since March of 2017. The only songs I prefer in English are Caroleans Prayer because during the prayer they switch to Swedish and Poltava.
Hannes wasn't even with Sabaton when this song was recorded... This album was recorded with the old line-up, before the band fell apart. After that the drummer was replaced with Robban Bäck for the Swedish Empire tour. The tour for thir album. Then Robban went on paternity leave and was temporarily replaced by Snowy Shaw. And when Robban wasn't going to come back, that's when they hired Hannes...
Carolus XII of Sweden was 15 when he ascended the throne and spent his entire reign (nearly 30 years) at war with powers in Europe (Russia, Protestant Princes)
Just went and saw them in St. Petersburg, Fl. Oct. 5. OMG ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! They even had the tank on stage. More of a smaller venue BUT AMAZING!!!! Met some GREAT people. I've got an amazing son cause without him it would have NEVER happened. Long crazy drive both ways BUT WELL worth it. As a matter of fact our new friends and us are going to do this AGAN!!!!!
Hahaha Omg, Your reaction takes all prices, Love your honestfull (don't know if thats even a word or if I just made it up) energy! Keep on going strong and keep on rockin!!! Take care of yourself in these crazy times, all the lov3 and best wishes from Stockholm, Sweden!!! 🇸🇪👍🤗💯 PS: Btw, Love your Joakim-moves, you know what I mean! Seen you do them in the few Sabaton reactions I've watched so far, will go through your videos and see if you have more Sabaton! I hope so, because watching you makes me happy! Sidenote, I've had a really crappy week, but watched your reactions now for the past half hour and been smiling and feel happy for the first time this week, and its half an hour past midnight here in Sweden now, so you know that really my whole week has been bitter! Just sickness and hospitals etc. Just want to jump through my phone, hang out with you over a beer ( or 7), listen to Sabaton and other music I can show you from Sweden I'll think you'll enjoy, laugh, cry, talk, sing, sleep and so on....Never felt so happy watching reactions like I do watching yours, so I say Thank you very much and Take Care! New subscriber here! DS
There’s a song by Amon Amarth called the berserker on stamford bridge. It’s about a lone norseman who single handedly held off the English army back in 1066. Idk if you like folk metal but it’s a badass song
Charles XII was a Swedish king who inherited the empire while he was still a teen. He quickly got involved in a war with Denmark, Poland and Russia, all of whom though he'd be an easy target. He went about to kick the rear end of all three of them repeatedly for a while. But he made the same mistake as Napoleon and Hitler; he went deep into Russia. That massive mistake ended up costing him his elite army, a leg injury and being stuck in Constantinople for a while. When he came back to Sweden, all his enemies returned for round 2 (including Poland and Denmark who had dropped out of the war)... This time, the king was not able to push them back and died when besieging a Norwegian fort/city... The Swedish empire would go on to loose most of its lands outside of Sweden per say as well as its status of regional power. Russia would go on to establish St-Petersburg on one of the territories gained from Sweden. The battle of his defeat against the Russians on the fields of Poltava is also a Sabaton song from the same album. The song is titled "Poltava"
The Carolean's Prayer and Gott mit uns are two other reaction-worthy songs from that album, really good stuff - and the bonus song Twilight of the Thundergod - an Amon Amarth cover
1:13 when you realize that what you're about to witness is so much more awesome than what you thought it was going to be 1:18 when you realize that you were not at all prepared
The first time I heard this track (via a reaction video - but it was so good I had to jump to the original vid) - it blew my mind! I now listen to Sabaton daily. Amazing band.
I'll throw out a Sabaton suggestion that I haven't seen yet: Carolean's Prayer. If you like the chorus sound in this (and it looks like you did), you'll love hearing them do the Lord's Prayer in Swedish, which sounds badass
2:15 No, the guy drumming (Daniel Mullback) is a decorator and tiler from Falun. He now owns the company along with his brother. He is also the drummer of Civil War.
"NIGHT WITCHES" next! It's about the Russian female Night Bomber Regiment. The history behind the song is quite interesting, but basically the Germans called them that, because they used to turn off their engines when close to the target and glide silently while bombing the F out of the nazies.
it really is a beast of a song! love it! you should try to listen to the sweedish version, even if you dont understand sweedish, his voice is so much better when he is singing in his native language (and yes it is incredible in english but even better in sweedish) you can hear more emotion, and the song sounds more insense, atleast in my opinion. Anyway great reaction! \m/ have a good one :)
Dude I'm telling ya, ur reaction and my reaction listening to the first time where similar I mean it's finally good to see someone feeling the song to the best👏🏻👏🏻
Always enjoying watching your Sabaton reactions. Take a look at "The Final Solution" from Sabaton. A very deep and sad song. Quite different from all their other songs.
Hi, I am from Sweden🇸🇪. This happend 300 years ago. The Swedish king was 12 year when he become a king. And after that he grow up like a king until he died. By the way. The songer name is: Joakim.
Another great bass/baritone singer in Metal is Francesco Cavallieri, the lead singer of Wind Rose. I recommend "The Returning Race", "Drunken Dwarves", and "Diggy Diggy Hole" by them. 😎🍺
Not on this album. That was their previous drummer on Carolus Rex. Their current drummer, Hannes Van Dahl is married to Floor. He joined the band in 2014 this song is from 2012.
One of the craziest things about the video is when they show the Swedish Caroleans (what the soldiers were called) advancing toward the enemy position in squares and when they are hit by artillery and something like two fifths of the formation are knocked down (presumably killed). What do the rest of them do? They just close ranks and continue marching until they are told to stop, drop to a knee, aim and fire at the enemy with their muskets. I'd wager that it takes an insane level of conviction and discipline not to break into a rout and flee the battlefield in sheer panic in that situation. This is true for modern soldiers seeing their fellow soldiers die in front of them too of course, but it's still a different thing to calmly and in complete concert advance in formation, seeing the enemy fire their muskets and cannons at you, killing your friends and still keep the same pace and discipline.
Great reaction man this song is awesome and this album Carolus Rex is one of the best metal albums in this decade, please react to more Sabaton, i have a request it´s a song of this album is called "Carolean´s Prayer" it´s about the Swedish soldiers that serve the kings Charles XI and Charles XII, they was the elite army of that times, they have numerous victorys even againts larger armies, i hope you made a reaction about that song.
Hi! Have you seen the teaser for the new song from Sabaton? About Svea Livgarde ( Svea Life Regiment) who was the "boddyguard fore Gustav Vasa, the first rouler of Sweden. The regiment celebrates 500 years as a unit. Check it out!!
He became king at 15 and before that he was partying like Mötley Crüe, so people were really worried. But as a king he became an exeptional war strategist and leader. But he fought three neighbouring countries at the same time, Denmark-Norway, Sach-Poland and Russia. They were allied against Sweden because they thought it was an easy target with such a young and inexperienced king. Karl took Denmark-Norway and Sach-Poland and held off the russians for a long time. But he emptied Swedens resources to finance the war and eventuelly lost a battle against the russians in Poltava 1709. That is considered the end of Sweden as a Great Nation. Karl was eventually shot to death in Norway. But the king who made Sweden an empire was Gustav II Adolf, also known as Gustavus Adolphus - The Lion From the North. He is considered as the creator of modern warfare. Sabaton has a song about him aswell.
19 people clearly don’t like historical songs haha talking about the dislikes of course! Although I love this song, band and the reaction! (I’m Swedish btw so that makes sense haha) 😂👏🏼
Ja vi gillar inte enbart musiken utan innehållet är något som man blir stolt över som svensk.. Förfäderna lyfts fram i musik och det är helt rätt att hylla vår historia..
For anyone that will see this: This song shows why he's considered one of Sweden's greatest kings, aswell as one of the kings with the worst case of hubris. King Charles XII of Sweden (Karl XII) was put on the throne at an age of 15. People thought he wouldn't last long, that he was just a boy. Early on he bypassed the church and said he was crowned by God, making him hold the most power in the land, the church had no more saying in most things. he had a unique and utterly terrifying way of waging war. The Caroleans (soldiers in his army) would march as one, until they "could see the whites in their enemies eyes". They would stand as one, aim, and fire of a volley. This would decimate the enemy ranks, and completely destroy their morale. Imagine this: a huge army marching as oen towards you. You shoot at them, kill one. They do not break ranks or even acknowledge that they lost someone. They march at you, because in their head they know that if God wants them dead, they will die, otherwise their enemy will die. Then they all stop, aim and just unleash a horrible wall of death at you, killing most of your brothers in arms and wounding many others. During the Great Northern war Denmark, Saxony-Poland and Russia delcared war against the Swedes. Within a week Denmark surrendered when Charles XII marched across the frozen Sea and surprised them at their capital. Saxony-Poland would last another month or so(can't remember exactly). And then only the greatest foe in Europe stood left. Russia, like they ahd before, used the scorched earth tactic as they fell back into their land, burning everything to nto give the Swedish army any food. At Poltava the Swedes suffered a great loss with many dead and the rest of the army on full retreat. Once back in Sweden Charles XII ordered the remaining army to march on Norway. But outside of the fortress of Fredriksten he was shot in the head and died. No one knows to this day if it was an enemy or friend that shot him. And the army marched back to Sweden, to bury their king. He is by far the most known swedish king, and my personal favourite to learn about. It's up to each and one of you to pass judgement on his actions, Heroism or Folly? Was he a great King, or a king filled with hubris and madness?
Have to give an of the following tracks a shot: - Cliffs Of Gallipoli - The Final Solution - Uprising - The Price Of A Mile - The Lost Battalion - To Hell And Back - Wolfpack - 82nd All The Way - The Red Baron - Seven Pillars Of Wisdom
When he began his campaign, Carolus Rex was about 14-15. Most scholars say 15. So, yeah. He was young, and yet he crushed all armies that came against him.
i actually visited the church where charles XII was buried this summer. at the same church gustav II adolf (Gustavus Adolphus) is also buried who, if you didnt know, the song Lion of the north is about. its pretty cool, some of swedens greatest kings and their families are buried there and the walls are pretty much covered with different coats of arms and heraldry from nobles who served under these kings. its also one of the oldest buildings in stockholm. and i believe swedens first king was also buried there or something
When I worked as a history teacher in high school, I used to play Sabaton often and we had large historic battle presentations using Warhammer fantasy miniatures during classes. Really helped making my class popular

Form a wall, live to fall, and live Forever
Sparta! Hellas!
Then, and again, sing of three hundred men!
Slaughter! Persians!
Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender!
Morning has broken, today they're fighting in the shade
When arrows blocked the sun, they fell,
Tonight they dine in Hell
By traitor's hand, secret passage to their Land
Know his name, know his shame will last forever

Their current drummer, Hannes Van Dahl is married to Floor. He joined the band in 2014 this song is from 2012.
He embodies how I feel when I listen to Sabaton
Follow the Cipher did a cover of this and I absolutely loved it. I don't usually like covers but that one hit the spot.
One of the craziest things about the video is when they show the Swedish Caroleans (what the soldiers were called) advancing toward the enemy position in squares and when they are hit by artillery and something like two fifths of the formation are knocked down (presumably killed). What do the rest of them do? They just close ranks and continue marching until they are told to stop, drop to a knee, aim and fire at the enemy with their muskets. I'd wager that it takes an insane level of conviction and discipline not to break into a rout and flee the battlefield in sheer panic in that situation.
This is true for modern soldiers seeing their fellow soldiers die in front of them too of course, but it's still a different thing to calmly and in complete concert advance in formation, seeing the enemy fire their muskets and cannons at you, killing your friends and still keep the same pace and discipline.

Carolus rex's confidence is incredible
YESS my favourite band
Great reaction man this song is awesome and this album Carolus Rex is one of the best metal albums in this decade, please react to more Sabaton, i have a request it´s a song of this album is called "Carolean´s Prayer" it´s about the Swedish soldiers that serve the kings Charles XI and Charles XII, they was the elite army of that times, they have numerous victorys even againts larger armies, i hope you made a reaction about that song.
Hi! Have you seen the teaser for the new song from Sabaton? About Svea Livgarde ( Svea Life Regiment) who was the "boddyguard fore Gustav Vasa, the first rouler of Sweden. The regiment celebrates 500 years as a unit. Check it out!!
You must react to Lion from the north from the same album.... It will blow your mind!
He became king at 15 and before that he was partying like Mötley Crüe, so people were really worried. But as a king he became an exeptional war strategist and leader. But he fought three neighbouring countries at the same time, Denmark-Norway, Sach-Poland and Russia. They were allied against Sweden because they thought it was an easy target with such a young and inexperienced king. Karl took Denmark-Norway and Sach-Poland and held off the russians for a long time. But he emptied Swedens resources to finance the war and eventuelly lost a battle against the russians in Poltava 1709. That is considered the end of Sweden as a Great Nation. Karl was eventually shot to death in Norway.
But the king who made Sweden an empire was Gustav II Adolf, also known as Gustavus Adolphus - The Lion From the North. He is considered as the creator of modern warfare. Sabaton has a song about him aswell.
My favorite Sabaton song!
Yep! I love it when they do those key changes! Instant goosebumps!
19 people clearly don’t like historical songs haha talking about the dislikes of course! Although I love this song, band and the reaction! (I’m Swedish btw so that makes sense haha) 😂👏🏼

For anyone that will see this: This song shows why he's considered one of Sweden's greatest kings, aswell as one of the kings with the worst case of hubris.
King Charles XII of Sweden (Karl XII) was put on the throne at an age of 15. People thought he wouldn't last long, that he was just a boy. Early on he bypassed the church and said he was crowned by God, making him hold the most power in the land, the church had no more saying in most things. he had a unique and utterly terrifying way of waging war.
The Caroleans (soldiers in his army) would march as one, until they "could see the whites in their enemies eyes". They would stand as one, aim, and fire of a volley. This would decimate the enemy ranks, and completely destroy their morale. Imagine this: a huge army marching as oen towards you. You shoot at them, kill one. They do not break ranks or even acknowledge that they lost someone. They march at you, because in their head they know that if God wants them dead, they will die, otherwise their enemy will die. Then they all stop, aim and just unleash a horrible wall of death at you, killing most of your brothers in arms and wounding many others.
During the Great Northern war Denmark, Saxony-Poland and Russia delcared war against the Swedes. Within a week Denmark surrendered when Charles XII marched across the frozen Sea and surprised them at their capital.
Saxony-Poland would last another month or so(can't remember exactly).
And then only the greatest foe in Europe stood left. Russia, like they ahd before, used the scorched earth tactic as they fell back into their land, burning everything to nto give the Swedish army any food. At Poltava the Swedes suffered a great loss with many dead and the rest of the army on full retreat. Once back in Sweden Charles XII ordered the remaining army to march on Norway. But outside of the fortress of Fredriksten he was shot in the head and died. No one knows to this day if it was an enemy or friend that shot him. And the army marched back to Sweden, to bury their king.
He is by far the most known swedish king, and my personal favourite to learn about. It's up to each and one of you to pass judgement on his actions, Heroism or Folly? Was he a great King, or a king filled with hubris and madness?
15 when he became king, died at 36. At war the entire time.

LION FROM THE NORTH
When he began his campaign, Carolus Rex was about 14-15. Most scholars say 15. So, yeah. He was young, and yet he crushed all armies that came against him.
It interesting how old the group sabaton is. My ex introduced it to me.... the thing is... I been married for 15 years.
i actually visited the church where charles XII was buried this summer. at the same church gustav II adolf (Gustavus Adolphus) is also buried who, if you didnt know, the song Lion of the north is about.
its pretty cool, some of swedens greatest kings and their families are buried there and the walls are pretty much covered with different coats of arms and heraldry from nobles who served under these kings. its also one of the oldest buildings in stockholm. and i believe swedens first king was also buried there or something
Shiroyama. It's probably the best song they have created. And that's saying something.
Rip my once beutiful country. It will be interesting to see what will happen over here in the next 10-30 years.
Ooooh, my favorite Sabaton song! :D
Attack of the Dead Men needs to be the next sabaton you listen to!
Another vote for Attack of the Dead Men. One of my favorites.
7:29 imagine being in high school and listening to this while teachers are talking
been there done that
I use this to teach or encha ce my sons learning about battles, wars and etc.
Yes he became king at a very young age but he also died at a young age.
Hair standing here aswell 😂👌🏾
Primo Victoria (Hellgate London video) and then the acapella version by Van Canto feat. Joaquin from Sabaton. Yes, acapella metal!
Lion from the north and a lifetime of war are another two great songs from the album.
Awesome reaction :D
