The best thing about Sabaton is that they sing about war history, but without taking sides or expressing political opinions, so you learn history and listen to great music at the same time. They also have Sabaton History channel where they explain historical background of persons and /or events from their songs. One of my favorite live performances is the song En Livstid I Krig (A Lifetime Of War) live in Gothenburg. It's in Swedish so you'll need cc
They have a historical channel? That's awesome!
And you're right, I was first not sure how they would tell this story but that's all they did, tell a story right down the middle as it was and it was amazing hearing it through them 🤘
The dude who works with them on their history channel knows his shit. If you want to see more of his work, look for Time Ghost History, The Great War (The original videos), or World War Two. He also stars in a few of their videos, like Unkillable Soldier and Seven Pillars of Wisdom. He helped inspire their WWI albums to an extent.
i cry everytime i watch that song en livstid i krig because its as relevant today as it was when singing about the thirty year war.
No bullets fly, the Cartoon version, He should watch 😃
I mean, sometimes they take sides and give opinions. Like they're pretty firmly anti-nazi. I mean, their song about the Nazis is literally "Rise of Evil".
The "Bismarck" , and his sister ship "Tirpitz", were the 2 largest battleships ever built in Europe (250 meters long, 36 meters wide, and displacing more than 50.000 tones) and they were the pride of the kriegsmarine (Germany's militari navy) during Ww2. The "Bismarck" set sail in May 1941 to reach the Atlantic and destroy merchant convoys, but he was intercepted by the British and during a brief fight, destroyed the former flagship of the British fleet and pride of the Royal Navy, the worldwide famous battlecruiser "Hood", by penetrating her armor and detonating her aft main ammunition magazine and killing all 1400 members of her crew except for 3 men, and heavily damaged the battleship "Prince of Wales". This enraged the prime minister Winston Churcil who ordered all his ships in the Atlantic to abandon their operations and destroy the Bismarck. In total more than 40 ships participated to the hunt, making it the biggest naval hunt in history. Meanwhile Bismarck, who had received a hit during the first battle, was leaking fuel and was trying to reach the French port of Saint Nazaire, in occupied France, for repair. After 3 days of playing cat and mouse with the British, Bismarck was attacked by airplanes launched from the aircraft carrier "Ark Royal" and hit by a torpedo in the stern, which jammed his rudders during evasive manuvers, meaning that he was forced to sail in circles, just a few miles away from reaching air cover. In the end battleships "King George V" and "Rodney", along side the heavy cruisers "Norfolk" and "Dorsedshire" fought the already doomed battleship and, during the following 90 minutes completely destroyed it. However, despite having all his guns destroyed, and having received more than 400 hits (out of the 2800 shells that the British had fired at it) his armor was still mostly intact and the ship was still afloat. So the british launched another 4 torpedoes and he disappeared beneath the waves. After inspection of the wreck however it had been discovered that the torpedoes did no significant damage thanks to the battleship's excellent armor, and that Bismarck had been scuttled by his crew (although it should be noted that many historians believe that it would have eventually sunk due to the damage received). Of the 2200 men that served on it, only 114 survived. The old man seen in the video is the son of the last survivor, who died in 2018, 1 year before this song was released
The actor acting as the skipper is not son of the last survivor. Most likely one of these false facts spreading on yt. Where does this "fact" come from? The band has never mentioned it, and no info about this in any wiki etc. I think it is the unspoken fictional narrative of the video that's been twisted to the actor being his son.
@@DaP84 And how do you know this? Because I know different and from the horses mouth.
*her. Bismarck like her sister ship Tirpitz were both "Shes." It's only ever written once and it's attributed to Lutjens, never having been confirmed that he wanted his ship "Masculine" In fact in almost all German communications about the Bismarck it's always referred to as "Die Bismarck" (Die being the female pronoun in German)
@@Ozai75 i'm aware of this, i actually refer to Bismarck as a she, but i'm tired of people screaming at me that "Bismarck is a male" so online i just refer to the ship as a he
@@willghezzi They're actually true. The Bismarck was referred to as "he" as he is named after Otto von Bismarck. Plus, the Germans thought it wasn't right calling this massive powerful beast a "she" so they referred to the Bismarck as "he". Sorry if I sound like those people. I just thought I should let you know the reason behind this
Couple things - Sabaton collaborated with the producers of the World of Warships video game to create the scenes for this video. Sabaton is touring the US with Epica (fuck yeah!). And next I would recommend reacting to "Uprising" live at Woodstock (Poland)
Sabaton and Epica is going to be an amazing concert. I can't wait!
Planning on being at the Phoenix show!
@@christoneymobile Seeing them in Cincinnati and Iron Maiden the night before in Columbus. One hell of a weekend!
Right now I wish I was in USA. Really want to see both Epica and Sabaton in the same evening.
Yes, I have tickets for the October 3 (I think it was the 3rd) show at the Ryman in Nashville...
You MUST DO CHRISTMAS TRUCE it left me a WRECK a true masterpiece in my opinion.
GREAT REACTION AS ALWAYS.
Yes, absolutely!
Yes. The month does not matter. Christmas Truce is maybe the most important music video ever made.
Oh, if you watch Christmas Truce, you need to watch the video to the very end, and listen who sings during the end credits. (Hint: the answer to that can be found at the end of the end credits. ;-) )
Definitely will be!! 💯🤘
@@GOTGames my DAD told me the history of the xmas truce when I was a kid & never forgot it.
If you think the production on this is good then the "Christmas Truce" is a must it took them 2 years to finish the Christmas Truce . Floor is married to Hannes Van Dahl there drummer . NOTE: listen to the singing through the credits at the end
I heard it took them six years, start-to-finish. Cashflow was a large problem because of everything entailed.
Ooooo definitely will check that out!!!
@@jamescurfman3284 I thought that what took them 6 years was writing the song and finding the appropiate score for it
@@ordisraru The costumes for everybody involved (those were many extras), the special effects department, the digging...they wanted EVERYTHING to be period-worthy.
They did take a long time because they wanted it to be just right and do that story justice. They had (I think worked with a big production company out of Poland-not sure I'll have to re-watch the history of the making of the song again to refresh my memory). At any rate it is epic. It was what hooked me. This one and their "No Bullets Fly" brings me to tears every time.
Sabaton is the epitome of badass. Sabaton, like Nightwish transcends their genre. No one matches them for their story telling and the respect they show their subject matter. Every Sabaton piece is a history lesson. Indeed, lest we forget, as there are those who as we speak are trying to erase our history and separate us from our past, and to no good end. We cannot allow that to happen.
In an interview, Joakim was asked why Sabaton seems to focus on war and conflict. Joakim replied, "There are so many stories out there that are forgotten and do not deserve to. Why then should we make shit up?" Joakim has the right of it.
Check them out live! The energy is through the roof in "Ghost Division" live at woodstock poland 2013. You'll love it 🤘
Oh definitely!!!
I can never get over the irony of Poland loving a song about panzers being terrifying lol
They have a history channel where the get an expert to explain the stories behind their songs. They were running out of ideas a few years back, and asked the fans for suggestions. They got enough to carry on probably indefinitely. Oh, and they don't pick sides, they just sing about the historical facts.
That's awesome!!
Critics of Sabaton sometimes like to say the band glorifies war, they don't. One of the hardest hitting songs is a song in their native tongue, Swedish. En Livsted I Krig live in Gutenberg watch with english subtitles. The song is more of a power ballad but hits like an artillery shell.
Göteborg
Also "To Hell and Back", was in part about the severe PTSD Audie Murphy came home with and how he over came it. "Prisoner 4859" is another that looks at the darker side.
Don't forget "The final solution" that's a hard one to listen to and watch.
You've just touched the surface of something big.
Fun fact since you also love Nightwish. Floor Jansen is married to Hannes Van Dahl (drums) and they have a daughter together and they live in Sweden these days :-)
Another fun fact: I live about 10 minutes away from their ranch. :)
Hannas also produced floor's single Fire.
If there daughter gets Floor's vocals and Hannes's drum skills, we will have a superstar rocker just over a decade away :)
@@Sarge80 As long as it's not Hannes's vocal skills and Floor's drumming skills I am all for it. Hahahahahaha
@@ANDZIGCREAM Hahahaha
Very different style of singing but you'd probably be shocked at how great of a voice that the guitarist Tommy Johansson also has. I'd recommend checking out his one octave higher challenge cover of you raise me up if you look into it
I love Sabaton! They are my favourite history nerds who are also metalheads. Their animated history music videos are beyond epic! (A personal favourite of mine is The Night Witches.) In their most recent music video Floor provides the outro vocals. BTW the battleship HMS Prince Of Wales was sunk along with the battlecruiser HMS Repulse by Japanese aircraft off the Malayan coast in 1941.
i love sabaton, please do the steel commanders video next, or "No bullets Fly" the animated music video (please don't discount that one for being animated... its a trues story that deserves all the love and attention it gets)
No Bullets fly is incredible! The video is masterly done. My Dad's not one to show his emotions but when he saw it I could he was choked by the story and the grandiose music
But nobody wants to listen to an ad
best way to learn history, and you can take it further by checking out their Sabaton history channel which takes a deeper dive into the history behind each song they do
Long overdue!!
The fact this has no replies, almost no likes in a week is wierd
Sabaton is a must for any history buff. Even if you're like me and don't study much recent history, they have something for you. Or at the very least, you can learn about some really obscure topics in recent world history. I probably would have never learned about the Night Witches in WWII if it weren't for Sabaton, and that's one of the coolest stories I've ever heard.
Just came on youtube to take a small break from all the metal, while I'm at CopenHell metal festival. And the first thing I find is this. 🤘😄🤘
This is a good one, but if you want to tear up I recommend their songs 'Christmas Truce' and 'No Bullets Fly'
Great reaction! Now more of Sabaton please, for example "Christmas Truce" with Floor Jansen's vocals in the ending credits of that song.
And as you said, that one song that pop out (Feuerschwanz) "Warriors of the world united" should be also in your mind to react to - with only that reaction you will get three more great bands in the recomendations as their vocalists are guest singers in the song.
Cheers! 🥂
Although keep in mind that Warriors of the World United is a cover from another band. :)
Yeah, originally Manowar's song, but Feuerschwanz did an amazing job with that cover 😁
I absolutely love Sabaton,as it was my 13 year old brother that got me into them I love how they sing about things that happened In history
If memory serves, the Battleship Rodney was technically the battleship that "put the holes" in the Bismarck that sunk it but it took torpedos from from two waves of Swordfish Torpedo Bombers, and many more from the two cruisers that followed the Bismarck to relay it's location to the British fleet, it also took hits from the Prince of Wales, Hood, and King George the Vth that lead to it sinking, but new evidence showing little damage to the ship's actual haul points to the Germans sinking their own ship to prevent it from being captured and turned against them, having almost no major damage to the haul, the superstructure being obliterated, and the stern having heavy damage, but not enough for it to have sunk in 45 seconds like it was reported to have done so.
My favorite song from Sabaton is "Attack of the Deadmen"....great song. FYI The ships King George V and the Rodney incapacitated the Bismarck, and an hour and a half later it sank after being hit by three torpedoes from the cruiser Dorsetshire
It didn't sink from the torpedoes, the crew scuttled him. When they found him they found the best the torpedoes was dent the side armor. This was recently found out, though the George V and Rodney did incapacitate him.
If you want a great live video with Sabaton you need to check out En livstid i krig/ A lifetime of war. Recorded in gothenburg with a fanatic crowd that makes that video so epic! Filmed from behind the band so you see their view of the crowd! Remember to put on captions as they sing in swedish. So check it out, you won´t regret it! And thanks for an awesome reaction to Bismarck!
Also I want to give you a heads up on a indian metal folkmusic band called Bloodywood! That is a band that have suprised the whole metal world with their awesome metal blended with indian folkmusic. I suggest you react to their song Aaj first and after that the rabbit hole is open! I promise!
One band to definitely check out would be Wintersun and particularly Sons of Winter and Stars. The current drummer for Nightwish (Kai) and their session bassist (Jukka) are in their at the time of that video. As far as live Sabaton there are so many great ones but 40:1 at Woodstock is amazing since it's in Poland and about a Polish historical event. Definitely do Christmas Truce or No Bullets Fly next, be sure to watch all the way through both videos since there are some nice bits at the end.
Specifically, when doing No Bullets Fly, make sure to do the animated story video. And yes, for both No Bullets Fly and Christmas Truce, watch all the way to the end. Actually, do that for all Sabaton videos, as they often include little tidbits at the end.
Had to revisit this one as well, back from 7 months ago. Reaction still as powerful as ever. 🚀🦈
Sabbaton is great! Lots of good songs by them to check out
Another great band in this genre is: Unleash the Archers with "Awakening" being a good first reaction song
just an FYI Joakim Broden Sabaton's singer did a song with Babymetal as well "Oh Majinai"
Happy to see a smile on your face again after Spring Day, TGIF is coming :)
Also from Sabaton check Unkilleable soldier, true story about a man who was in many wars, got shot in the eye, hit by grenade, escaped from ene,y war camp, was in p,and accident, and shot gazillion times. But he wouldn't die. In end of that song is a quote "Franmly I loved war". Or something along those lines.
If you like power metal and military history, you will love Sabaton. Sabaton is huge in their home country of Sweden.
This video was done in conjunction with Wargaming and their World of Warships game. That is why the graphics are so good.
The boat they went out on you see the name Primo Victoria painted on it. That is the name of the 1st Sabaton album, and the title track is about D-Day.
Christmas Truce is good at any time of the year. It's about the one day unofficial cease fire on the western front in WWI, Dec 1914. And that video was made by people who usually make movies, but had plenty of time because of the pandemic.
EDIT; Within Temptation (lead singer Sharon Den Adel) is another Dutch symphonic band that you haven't reacted to yet. My favorite of theirs is Ice Queen.
Christmas Truce is a must! It’s an absolute masterpiece 👌👌
hello just found this channel.saw sabaton for the 1st time at leeds arena on fri night and thought they were absolutely superb.the interraction with the audience is top notch as every one of the band member introduced themselves and shared memories when they 1st started playing and the journey to where they are now.fantastic stuff.
i had the great honor of seeing them open for Nightwish back before Covid in Maryland. It was an amazing night!
More sabaton 🔥🦊🔥
Uprising or Ghost Diviasion from the Polish Woodstock festival with over 500 000 in the crowd is just something else!!!!
Sabaton is my go-to hype music, and Bismarck is such an interesting story.
I don't know who it was that first asked for you to react to their videos, but they have excellent taste.
The best thing about Sabaton is that everybody in the band can sing. Those harmonies you hear, you will hear them live. They will be on pitch. And they are not a backing track. And you probably don't realize how many harmonies they have until you watch how often the band members head towards their microphones.
the whiplash of watching your skz reactions and now this lmao
really really really recommending you watch the animated story video of sabaton - no bullets fly too, and seconding the christmas truce recommendations
Finaali! Thanks, this is a great song to start.
Check out" En Livstid i Krig" live in Gothenburg, but make sure to add subtitles! This is the best you can see! A song about a swedish boy, thinking about dying in the 30 years war for sweden, sung in swedish, in sweden!
Another band you could check out and noone has mentioned yet is Blind Guardian. A German Power Metal band founded in 1984 as a Speed Metal band but changed their style and soon became one of the pioneers of Power Metal. A great video is their live show at Wacken Open Air in 2016 in which you can hear two songs. One very mellow with two acoustic guitars and one fast and heavy that leans a bit on their Speed Metal roots: Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016 ruclips.net/video/i-IcX_bccFc/видео.html .
Regarding Sabaton: the ANIMATED STORY videos of "No Bullets Fly" and "Night Witches" should definitely be on your watch-list. But they have so many good songs about real military events that it is hard to choose: "82nd All The Way", "Shiroyama", "The Last Battle", "Red Baron", "40-1", "Winged Hussars" just to name a few.
There is another awesome band called Amaranthe. They liked 82nd All The Way so much that they covered it, and then both bands ended up performing it together live! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 Could it be that you are confusing Epica with Amaranthe? Because I know that Amaranthe covered "82nd All The Way" and performed it as guests at a show of Sabatons Great-War-Tour in Oslo.
@@ralflukas9695 You are absolutely right! I did mess that up. Thank you for the correction. :)
"Pruimo Victoria" was my first ever Sabaton song. I love the stories behind all their songs. "Christmas Truce" is acceptable all year long!
Atero dominatus was mine. Great song.
By the way the blond guitarist Tommy has a RUclips channel and makes amazing covers! Such a multitalented artist!
What is his channel name, please? This is the first I have heard of him having a separate channel! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 the channel is "Tommy Johansson". Just his name. Definitely worth checking out! And what a voice!
@@purpleir COOL! Thank you very much! :)
@@purpleir I did a standard google search and the video I landed on was the One Octave Challenge (You Raise Me Up). Talk about a SURPRISE! I had NO idea the guy can sing, let alone like THAT! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! Seriously! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 haha yeah that was one of the first ones I discovered as well and I was shocked! He is also a vocal and music teacher so it makes sense I guess.
No worries! Glad I could help! Enjoy 🌷
Sabaton: Night Witches, 40:1, Ghost Division, En livstid Krig
Other Styles but also very fascinating:
Sitar Metal -When Time Stands Still
The HU -Yuve Yuve Yu
Alien Weapondry -Kai Tangata
Thanks, another great band
I assume the "UFC Guy" you're referring to is The Ice Man Chuck Liddell? Yeah, I agree. He also looks like Jeremy Dooley, former Achievement Hunter, current Twitch Streamer, and singer in the band 1551. His songs rock and I think you would like them.
I hope you'll do the Sabaton - En livstid i krig, live from Gothenburg. It's a unique experience with a different perspective.
For sabaton and a full on song i would recommend SABATON - Ghost Division (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO), its a live performance and just full on power...
Not sure if you’ve checked them out yet, but I highly recommend The Warning, a hard rock sister trio from Monterrey, Mexico.
For Sabaton, definitely check out No Bullets Fly, The Christmas Truce, and Soldier of Heaven.
I love and are subscribed to The Sisters
I would recommend that recommendation that you mentioned during the video with the band's name you couldn't pronounce :D if I had to take a wild guess it's Feuerschwanz with the Manowar cover "Warriors of the World United" This cover features 3 guest vocalists besides the 2 of FS (So it's kinda the Avengers of European metal singers ;) ) pulling you in for maybe 3-5 other bands like Saltatio Mortis, Ad Infinitum, Gloryhammer, The Dark Side of the Moon, Rage of Light etc :DD
As for Sabaton... One of my favorites from them is Nightwitches! I would suggest you do a double reaction one for an animated STORY video (there are 2 versions, pick the LONGER one!! You will understand why!) And also the live performance from the Great Tour! Enjoy
100% agreement with this comment! :)
Sabaton actually have a channel here on RUclips about the history behind all their history based songs, Sabaton history, really good history lesson with bandmember/s and Indy from Time ghost history channel. check that out for more information, over 110 history lessons each with a soundtrack to hammer the lessons home.
as to live recommendations, check out "en livstid I krig " from Göteborg Sweden, (in Swedish but there are subtitles) one great performance with a message that most soldiers through the times can relate to. few snippets of the lyrics,
"because war, it can destroy a man
I give my life for my country"
or
"in the field of battle where kin and friends fall no songs are heard"
Highly recommend Majestica, Sabatons lead guitarists other band, the song "Above the Sky" is amazing
Brothers of metal is a great group from Sweden aswell, their songs are mostly about norse mythology/valhalla etc. and their videos are great, kind of comical. i'd love to see you react to their song kaunaz dagaz. one of my personal favourites
If u want more storytelling metal, u should check out any song of Van Canto's Voices of Fire album.
Van Canto is a metal band consisting of 5 singers and a drummer. Yep acapella metal.
The album is a metal musical, with John Rhys-Davies (Gimli from Lord of the Rings) as the storyteller. The album is a music version of Christoph Hardebusch's "Feuerstimmen' book.
My second favorite band after Nightwish. All of Sabatons stuff is awesome :)
Welcome, to Jura....Sabaton! This band is singing about real events, real persons, this is or was real. And its highly addictive!
I love their song "82nd all the way" sung by sabaton but you could do a battle of the bands episode because amaranth someone as well you should check them both out
My favorite story from the hunt of Bismark was as the fleet engaged the ship a Polish destroyer took part and the whole time was signalling the Bismark with "I am a Pole".
I see that you getting into the Sabaton reactions. I got two videos for you from Sabaton. There is Steel Commander and Night Witches, both are great and there are others.
War Gaming (the company behind the World of Warships) worked with Sabaton to create the music video using their programing to recreate the ships.
Congratulations on Reacting to Sabaton one the the best bands around, now how about reacting to GRAILKNIGHTS. “Pumping Iron power “ featuring Joakim from Sabaton . Thanks love the reaction
Yesss!!! Thank you!!!! You just saved my day, I`ve never seen a reactor checking out such different, amazing bands as Sabaton AND BTS!!!! I`m sooo exited right now!
Awesome reaction I loved the bedtime story analogy,
In regards to who “sunk” the BISMARK it was actually skuttled by the crew to avoid it falling into enemy hands, as it seemed the entire crew would perish before the ship sank, it had reportedly been hit by so many shells the hull glowed red against the waterline and would burn you to stand near it, by that point all guns had been destroyed all ammo had been expended the bridge was destroyed and the rudder had been damaged by the opening torpedo dropped from a biplane, (which the AA on the BISMARK was not designed to be used against, being an outdated model of aircraft by that time)
It was however the HMS Prince of wales and another ship of His majesty’s Royal Navy who got the credit in the propaganda posters.
It was after the sinking of the BISMARK that Adolf Hitler ordered the Tirpitz into hiding in the Norwegian Fjords where it would ultimately be sunk by a group of bunker busting bombers (armed with bombs designed for large subterranean bunkers in Europe) in which 6 of these bombs directly impacted the tirpitz and sank it in shallow water.
It should be mentioned the BISMARK had an escort (The KMS Prinz Eugen) who was damaged by the hood and was forced to return to Germany for repairs, leaving the KMS BISMARK without its Supplementary AAA that would ultimately end with the sinking of the BISMARK in the North Atlantic.
Additional information!!!
-the Prinz Eugen would survive the Second World War and would be handed off to the Ally’s following the surrender of Germany in April 1945, it would then see usage as a test ship and would be sunk near Bikini Atoll during an atomic test.
-the tirpitz was the sister ship of the Bismarck, being of the same class and the second of only 2 ever made.
-the Bismarck was torpedoed and shelled multiple times before it’s scuttling, but the armor thickness and backup systems to stop water from flooding the compartments was enough to keep it from sinking because of enemy fire.
-the Bismarck had been listing heavily prior to its sinking which had made the ship difficult to traverse as the ship was going down.
-the Bismarck was only recently rediscovered, and with the presence of bodies still aboard was proclaimed a maritime grave site, with the coordinates not publicly stated. (The location was found by the same crew that found the titanic!)
Rumors persist among some groups that the U-boats the English thought they saw as the BISMARCK sank were actually a pair of captured u-boats used to torpedo the Bismarck,( though this theory has never been publicly confirmed or denied)
@@lenaevergarden You have a few errors here...
1) It was King George V and Rodney that get the credit. Prince of Wales had been with Hood at Denmark Strait, and had been pretty badly beat up by Bismarck.
2) To be fair, these ships had inflicted a technical knockout. Bismarck was little more than a flaming hulk when the crew moved to scuttle him (Bismarck used the masculine pronoun). It is likely the ship would have sunk eventually without the intervention of the crew, so it's not unreasonable to give the Royal Navy credit for the "kill".This is evidenced by Bismarck's list having started before the time the scuttle order was given, indicating that she was taking on water to an extent. Certainly, even without the scuttle valves being opened, the torpedo salvo from Dorsetschire would have opened enough compartments to the sea to cause an eventual capsize and sinking.
3) Prinz Eugen was not significantly damaged by HMS Hood. It was actually Bismarck himself that was damaged, and it was a hit by Prince of Wales that caused it. After the battle of Denmark Straight, Prinz Eugen was detached to continue her raiding mission while Bismarck attempted to head to France for repairs. Prince of Wales had hit Bismarck in one of his fuel tanks, significantly reducing the battleship's range. Prinz Eugen on the other hand would return to France after suffering a mechanical failure, not because of any battle damage.
I first checked out Sabaton because I 'met' her Floor Jansen's husband Hannes on her channel. But, it was their music and fascination with war history that kept me coming back. I have learned more about history from Sabaton and their history channel than I ever did in school. Watch the videos on their main channel and then go to their SABATON HISTORY channel to get the scoop on what it's about. They don't celebrate war, but pay tribute to the heroes and amazing stories most of us have never heard before. Their music is also very powerful and catchy and their singer has a powerful voice. And their videos are absolutely amazing.
Their videos are some of the best out there. The drummer Hannis Dahl is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish. Christmas Truce is awesome and yes Floor does the outro on it.
It was my son who got me into Sabaton- and I have never regretted it. Great music and fantastic live. Christmas Truce, Seven Pillars of Wisdom and No Bullets Fly are well worth checking out for a start. Have an excellent day and cheers for the reaction :)
The name they painted on the boats wheel house " Primo Victoria " is the title of another Sabaton song that was also produced with the help of the video game WarGaming. They are known for the games World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes.
I first heard of Sabaton because of World of Tanks. The company introduced a premium tank into the game named after a Song the band did " Primo Victoria ".
WarGaming helped produce the videos for Bismarck, Primo Victoria and Steel Commanders.
Can't wait. Going to see them play in Philly in October
I love how every firsttime reaction to sabaton is with bismark
As for a live video -Livstid i Krig (Live in Gothenburg 2020)
Sabaton is a band that turns into a rabbit hole that you will never want to leave.
Have you reacted yet to Devin Townsend? He is something special! Why is my favourite of his songs lately. He is so fun!
Good song to start with
They use all original props, equipment in their vids …. The tanks, guns etc r all Fr whatever war they r fighting in…
All their vids r phenomenal and true to the time frame. Their clothing, everything is spot on
Enjoy the journey
Be well
🐥🇨🇦🐥hugs all
...Battle of the Atlantic. That's what it said that was blocked out😁 I'm a huge & proud history nerd!
Glad you made it to Sabaton! Yes - Christmas Truce! You have to watch that one until the very end of the credits tho! That's an AMAZING visual too! Yes, the drummer of Sabaton, Hannes Van Dahl, is Floor's hubby. After Christmas Truce you have to go for No Bullets Fly (again, watch til the very end with Sabaton and Nightwish), Night Witches, 82nd All The Way...and MORE! Add them to your handy dandy list! Glad you went to Epica too! You can check out Sancta Terra by Epica, live....Floor sings with Simone, Epica's lead vocalist.
More groups you can check out - Rule of Nines by Spiritbox (official vid first, there is a one take too), but I'll stop there for now as I've been greedy, lol! Blessings to you & your family from the States! Catch you on the next!
Sabaton has a history channel as well. Fills in the history and some behind the scenes about songs and videos.
Battleships which made "Bismark" sunk are "The King George the 5th" ("Prince of Wales" is the same type) and "Rodney".
"Prince of Wales" was on first battle scene.
They worked with a video game company called Wargaming which made World of Warships, they used their in game model of the Bismarck for the video
oooh that "Warriors of the world untited" video from Feuerschwanz is a must-see video. That band is sooooo good.
Sabaton is a Swedish band that writes and sings about Actual historic events, battles, moments of heroism and wars, but hey don't glorify war whatsoever.
They released their 10th studio album earlier this year.
Nice thing about them is that their video's never blocked so it's RUclips safe. (except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken)
If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these:

and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.
If you still haven't noticed, Sabaton`s ship captain is a sailor from Bismark with it's captain's watches
The vocalist Joakim Broden did a song with Babymetal called Oh Majinai which is also really awesome!
Fields of verdun is another equally impressive video they put alot of effort into
The Ship most responsible for wrecking the Bismarck was the Battleship HMS Rodney. She had 9 16 inch guns and she closed on Bismarck at the incredible close distance of 4,000 yrds. She made a floating junkyard of Bismarck's super structure and DID penetrate her belt armor at least 4 times. Rodney was taking on water after the battle because of the concussion of her own guns caused plating to come loose.
Yes you missed out on a group ...Battle Beast with the valkyria Noora on lead. She sounds like a power metal version of Anne Wilson from Heart...
Song suggestions: Master of illusion, Where angels fear to fly, Wings of light, Black ninja..
Crazy good !!! You will love it...
Right, that was a good first step, now we just keep walking... "The Red Baron" - "Fields of Verdun" - "Attack of the Dead men" and just keep walking!
If you wish to gain a better understanding of this part of the Battle of the Atlantic, I must recommend a 1960 movie 'Sink the Bismarck'. It is free here on YT. I saw it a couple of times as a child in the 1970s. It is one of my inspirations to join the US Navy.
This video was created in partnership with the same studio that runs the game World of Warships. Their dedication to historical accuracy is legendary.
Sabaton has a song that is meaningful to this Yankee. '82nd all the Way', about Sgt York, WW1 Medal of Honor winner. A band called Amaranthe has done a cover of it that is quite popular. Amaranthe's lead singer Elize Ryn auditioned to replace Tarja in Nightwish.
From the footage, i think someone said they worked with the group behind World of Warships game in order to make this as close to historically accurate as possible, in terms of scope and feel. As far as it sinking, the captain was ordered to scuttle the ship, they basically flooded it so it couldn't be captured.
Dude seriously you need to keep checking out any and all of this bands works. They're all amazing. Primo Victoria is one of my favorites.
9:53 Joakim (the lead singer) has done a few collaborations with other bands. One particularly hilarious one would be Babymetal's Oh Majinai.
Sabaton also made a cover of Amon Amarth's song Twilight of the Thundergod - and had other bands perform some of their songs as well (Like Amaranthe doing 82nd All the Way)
..and who could forget their collaboration with the likes of Apocalyptica?
Great reaction 👍
Sabaton- “Night Witches” live or “No Bullets Fly” animated. And a new band to check out Unleash the Archers “Awakening” band play through
The Bismark was ultimately sunk by a strike force consisting of the battleships Rodney and King George V and their escorts. After the swordfish strike that crippled the Bismarks rudder, she was caught up by the british battleship force. The Bismark was pounded for over an hour . The cruiser Dorsetshire was the final ship to land a blow on the bismark with her torpedos as at the same time, scuttling charges were also set off. Either way, the Bismark went down hard and fighting.
Also, Sabaton bloody rule!! :-D
from what i gather the old man in the song piloting the boat was the son of the young man pulled out of the sea after the sinking of the bismark. they i believe waited until his death before releasing the song.
you absolutely have to react to more sabtaon songs such as shiroyama, sparta, defence of moscow, ghost division, resist and bite, stormtroopers, verdun, red baron panzerhampf those are amazing
It was King George V and Rodney that primally were firing against Bismarck.
At 5:44 Rodney fire at Bismarck with triple cannons.
King George V had quadruple cannons.
At 6:40 Dorsetshire launch torpedoes, but none of them managed to penetrate the hull completely.
It's confirmed now that Bismarck was scuttled by the crew to prevent the Brits from boarding him.
Next Rabbit hole 100+ songs about war history and you wont get dissapointed! I would personaly recommend "Screaming Eagles" official video if you wanna see them go fast and hard. The video is insane to... #HangOverGang
Sabaton was one of my top bands ( living 120 km away from their hometown Falun, Sweden) but then I discovered the amazing Japanese hardrock/metal/punk scene and I'm hooked.....
HMS Dorsetshire was the cruiser the RN sent in which fired the torpedoes. Differing German accounts states that the Kreigsmarine scuttled Bismarck. However it is likely that both torpedoes and scuttling charges combined sunk Bismarck.
