      @gavin3488 6 лет назад +13

      "Joakim's rough vocals" is describing him in grandeur. Joakim's voice is enough to describe his voice. He does make some nice music, if one is in the mood for a flat toned chant with metal in the background. But yes this is a nice change.

      I don't think so, man. Warhammer (AoS) is now a run down system that used to be a much more complex system than 40k. If you than see that 40k was sci-fi clone of Warhammer and not vise versa you comparison meen that Sabaton covered of Follow the Cipher. You should at least invert your comparision or even bedder find a bedder one, because imo Sabaton ist not a run down system that once used to be good. They are still awesome.
      If you mean that the Sabaton version is bedder that the cover, i don't totaly agree with you. It depends on the mood, even if most of the time I prefer the original one.
