They didn’t kill them all they got the pope safely to castelo st Angelo which was a heavily fortified position with heavy artillery and lots of other weapons for defense. By that point the soldiers sacking Rome had way better options than suiciding at an easily defensible castle. The army that sacked Rome was there in the first place because their Commander couldn’t pay them so in order to keep his life he directed them to a place they could loot hence Rome which was a very rich city. The looting was way worse than it should have been though because their Commander died part way through the battle. This is the story of the Swiss guards and the black band Mercenaries who were in charge of defending the city and the pope. The Swiss guards are the popes private army and consist of Swiss mercenaries, now Swiss special forces. Their oaths are now taken on the anniversary of the Last Stand of the 189 Swiss Guards of 1527.

I recommend Sparta, Shiroyama, Attack of the Dead Men, to Hell and Back, or Winged Hussars.

Winged hussars needs a history background like most of their songs

Make sure you check out the Sabaton History Channel - they provide the background to the events/people they sing about.

Most of their songs are about history, specifically War history (Events, Battles or Significant Individuals). You should react to Sabaton - Uprising (Live at Polish Woodstock Festival in 2012, the Official Live Video). It has an audience of 500,000 to 750,000 and it will blow your mind!

Sabaton is all about sharing the story, they support reaction channels because it gives chance to reach more viewers to listen to the story they want to tell. Really cool guys.

I'd love to see Night Witches by them and they have a newer animated music video story version that gives more history that is really cool for it and is only a little but longer but I think it add more appreciation for the lyrics

Sabaton is also great live. React to En livstid i krig live at Gothemburg the Great Tour. You won't how much people sing alongside Joakim.

Turn on closed caption with English translation as Sabaton sings this in Swedish. Very emotional song, especially if having served in any armed force.

I'd love to also see the animated story video(which has the full song buy them) for no bullets fly. Somebody was cutting onions the first time I had seen it

Sabaton is the only band that can make a third generation atheist to scream "IN THE NAME OF GOOOD!"

I call it History Metal. This song is contagious..Already can sing along. Joakims baritone gritty voice shines insanly

Attack of the dead men and Defence of Moscow are just flat-out amazing pieces of music.

I Almost start accidentally singing this song sometimes while on the treadmill jamming out to it.

Thumbnail was VERY appropriate. They are on a different level, not just entertaining but educational as well. How are they so good at that? Each new song by them I add more respect. I used to give them a hard pass...then I listened to a song. Still not my bag genre-wise, but I make an exception for them. Top notch! ✌️💖 #thewarningEvolve

Damn dude. You pretty much explained how I feel about them. First I felt like they are a bit cheesy (I`m not a power metal fan, I am more into the heaviest genres), but then, suddenly you get their lyrics (and i nerd my ass off on history, especially military part of it) and you start to love Sabaton. Rare example of lyrics and concept behind song beating actual music taste

In 1527 b.c, The Swiss guards, in clear numeric inferiority were able to hold off the combined armies of the Holy Roman Empire, french mercenaries, Spain and Italy that had revolted against their commander due to lack of payment. 189 brave Swiss guards stood their ground against a massive tide of more than 5000 soldiers and cavalry giving the Pope enough time to get to safety in the depths of Sant'angelo Castle. They gave their lives on the stairs of St. Peter's Basilica, and they pass onto history as a ray of hope among one of the most cruel massacres in history: The Sac of Rome of 1527.

And although their service has not been continuous like the Yeomen of The Guard (from 1st Oct 1485) or the Livgardet (from 1521), The Swiss Guard still guard the pope, swearing to give up their lives in defence of him if required. They must be Swiss-born single catholic males between 19 and 30 who have completed military training in the Swiss Armed Forces to qualify. The Last Stand was during the sack of Rome by the troops of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor on 6th May 1527 when the 189 members of the Swiss Guard were wiped out in a rearguard action starting in the Teutonic Cemetery in the Vatican, then onto the steps of the Basilica the last 42 being finished off in the Papal Appartments as they defended the Passetto di Borgo, a secret corridor which connects the Vatican City to the Castel Sant'Angelo, which allowed Pope Clement VII to escape to that fortress and relative safety. Of the 55,000 inhabitants of Rome, only 10,000 were left after the Imperial troops, rioting over unpaid wages and keen to make good with anything they could carry off, departed. 6-12,000 were murdered, and many more died of disease in the remains of the city, the sack of which was only ended when the plague broke out. Others fled into the countryside if they could, but it was 33 years until Rome regained its pre-sack population level. The Swearing-in ceremony for new guardsmen each year is held on 6th May, the anniversary of the Last Stand - a strong reminder of the commitment they are making. The English translation of the Oath is: I swear that I will faithfully, loyally and honourably serve the Supreme Pontiff () and his legitimate successors, and dedicate myself to them with all my strength, sacrificing, if necessary, my life to defend them. I assume this same commitment with regard to the Sacred College of Cardinals whenever the Apostolic See is vacant. Furthermore, I promise to the Commanding Captain and my other superiors respect, fidelity and obedience. I swear to observe all that the honour of my position demands of me. Following this, each new Guardsman is called by name and while holding the banner of the guard with his left hand, raises his right with thumb, forefinger and middle finger extended on three axes signifying the Holy Trinity, and promises by name that he will diligently and faithfully abide by the oath.

This is why I love reaction channels like this! Introducing me to new music.🙂 Thanks Cliff!

Great reaction! Love Sabaton! You should also check out “Ghost Division” live at Woodstock. Also “Night Witches” and “No Bullets Fly” - both complete animated videos. 👍🏻

You must react to ”Great War”!

Cliff u keep me busy xx going down another rabbit hole xx♥️xx

NICE man, Loving these Sabaton reactions man

Also most members of Sabaton are actually atheists.. they even have anti-christian songs. But the ability to pay homage to the dead Swiss guard with a song respecting the religion of those who fought in the 1500s is pretty cool.

I don't think Sabaton is "anti" anything. They're more like a musical version of Badass of the Week. Most of their songs (save for covers like their take on Twilight of the Thunder God and silly shit like Metal Machine), are keeping the memories of impressive deeds among humanity alive through the power of metal.

Big hug and respect from Sweden :). Ive seen them live probably 13 times across 9 years now and i can honest say they havent got one single bad song in their repertoar not even the early covers are bad. You can never go wrong with any of their tracks.

My man, if you need a musical pre-workout, check out Sabaton's "Screaming Eagles". It's about a group of American troops caught in a fire fight against the Germans in the Belgian town of Bastogne (bass-tone) in WWII. The video is fantastic! High energy song, fast guitars and drums - it'll get you freaking pumped! Friendly warning: there are alot of quick scene changes, muzzle and bomb flashes in this video as it portrays parts of the legendary battle. Interesting side note - Sabaton's drummer is married to Floor from Nightwish 😉

My 12-year-old son after listening to the song wants to enlist in the Swiss Guards, but we are Lutherans.

Sabaton are awesome live. I would highly recommend the official live version of Uprising. It is filmed at the Polish Woodstock festival and it is about the uprising in Poland during ww2... The atmosphere is amazing. Also I saw Sparta recommended below which I would also recommend. Fun fact: Sabaton have a section on their website where you can suggest a topic for them and give the story behind it and they may make it into a song.

All over awesome!!!!

I subscribed you just because of sabaton reactions. 😅 Very good and honest reactions, keep up the good work.

One of hte most important songs in the Sabaton library (and conveniently a damn good one) is 40:1. You'll want the official live version at Woodstock Poland for reasons that will become obvious. Also, a lot of people will recommend Uprising from that same concert, which is a fantastic option, but so is their more recent performance of it off the Great Tour in Warsaw. Maybe a reaction to both versions back to back would be nice? They're slightly different and I doubt you'll mind listening to it twice in a row.

This song is like CANDY to me. It is SO FREAKING catchy and addictive. I strongly strongly suggest "Great War", "82nd All the Way" and "Winged Hussars", all fantastically catchy, driving, super awesome tunes. Also, notice how the drummer gets that cymbal in there on the "and" - that's part of the secret sauce and it's fantastic.

You should check out "82nd all the way" by sabaton

I love Carolus Rex and The Lion From The North

I recommend Carolus Rex -- English version. ••• It touches on religion too. Don't take too much from it, though. I don't think they're especially religious. They're Swedish. There just were a lot of battles where religion figured-in and they're all about battles.

Tommy in the band is an outspoken Christian (he wasn't in the band when this song was made). The rest I'm pretty sure aren't very religious. I think Joakim mentioned it in some interviews.

Definitely shiroyama And 82nd All the way!

The line of them giving their lives on the steps to heaven is because the courtyard was overrun and the steps to St. Peter's basilica was a choke point where only 12 men could pass at a single time, similar to the Hot Gates of Thermopylae where the 300 Spartans held the line

As a writer for hip hop you'll appreciate the song Great War how Joakim wordplays with War, Score, Tour and Encore

Honestly, react to " No Bullets Fly". The animated video also includes what happened, leading up to the song. It was about a German fighter pilot escorting a crippled American bomber back into friendly air space. It really just hits different. After the video, it shows the real life footage of the two pilots meeting, years later. It's low-key hard to watch with a dry eye.

I highly recommend "Lost Batallion" but find a vid with the intro narration. As a producer I think you'll appreciate the alternative drum kit they used for it.

You should definitely check out UPRISING!! Another Sabaton masterpiece.

Amazing song!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ SHORT FACTS: The outnumbered Swiss Guards, protectors of the Vatican, stood against an invading horde during the sack of Rome in 1527, Giving their lives so the Pope could escape... The song is based on the perspective of those people,. & how driven & Loyal they were to their faith in order to sacrifice their lives... -It's very Deep❤

I'll be watching Sabaton live at Warlando this September. Given Sabaton gets used for a ton of Warhammer 40K vids. Maybe move on to some Boltthrower, a UK band that started out with Games Workshop (Warhammer) artwork and lyrics about war in that universe on the album Realm of Chaos.

The vast majority of their songs commemorate honorable warriors across history. They've done a few songs of condemnation - against the Nazis and Taliban for starters. Somewhat controversially, they've done songs for the German common soldiers of WW2, including one on Rommel's tank corps (Ghost Division), the Bismark and one on a situation towards the end of the war where two divisions disobeyed Hitler's orders to do a last stand in Berlin and instead helped evacuate civilians and wounded to a surrender to the British and American forces by holding off the Russians one last time (Hearts of Iron). By that point the Russians were more a rampage than an army... One of their weirdest military songs from very early on is Camouflage. It's from before they went full on military with the song Primo Victoria...

To hell and back. 5. Great war. 6. Swedish pagans.

dont let the swissguard fancy dresses fool you , they are SF all of them, every year on the 5th of may the Pope talk to each one of the guardsmen and bless them

189 were troop whose main purpose was to protect the pope.. and pope lost a war and it was their duty to protect the holy see.. shich the song is about.. with those final 189 surrender is not an option, specially in late-medieval and they protectect the pope.. tbh they protected pope so well that pope's primary guards are still made of the same people

Sabaton - En livstid I krig live version Gothenburg It's in Swedish but the subtitles are available in English.

Sabaton aka the heavy metal historians! All of their songs are based on historic Wars and battles! Sabaton is the best metal band out there right now. Probably have the biggest budget for their music videos as well! The best ones are Bismarck, fields of Verdun, and defence of Moscow!
