Native German speaker here. Their grammar is top notch, unsurprisingly they have a notable italian accent but their pronunciation is really clean considering they are ranting against overfishing. In a foreign language. During a metal song. I'm impressed.

The two guys in the video are Mark The Hammer, a famous Italian KZreadr and musician, and Maurizio Merluzzo a very well known Italian voice actor and KZreadr (and ironically "Merluzzo" means cod in italian 😂)

@TankTheTech As others have stated their German is quite good. The accent only refers to the speaking rythm...there are only a few passages where you would guess that they are not German native speakers. Very well done. Especially the chorus is very clear.

WOW... lololol, yeah, it's probably been said before, but they indeed did VERY well with the pronounciation, I mean, there were some points where the Italian accent was more apparent than others, but I basically could follow the lyrics without having to consult the captions at all, so kudos! Second, wow, Tank, THANK YOU... I'd heard the band name before, but I'd always thought they were like very hardcore metal which isn't really for me (on second thought, I probably conflated them with Manowar or something by accident?) so I never would have checked them out if I hadn't seen multiple reactions from you by now and thought to myself 'well, if Tank's doing multiples, I HAVE to have a listen some time' and I am greatly appreciative, cause I've definitely found a new favourite! As for the video, it was great, hilarious even, but what I loved most was all the little meta nods to the Kapt'n Iglo original. He's like an animated ... brand ambassador I guess? Who's been part of the marketing campaign for those fish sticks for years and years, and I don't know how well known those spot are outside of Germany, but I remember like a whole series of them, with bits like the fish sticks making the inside of the fridge glow it like was full of pirate gold - like at the start of the video - full on nostalgia feels, lol. That was a great find!

Hi I'm Italian and I can explain two things to you: the guy who looks like capitan igloo/findus is called Maurizio Merluzzo (codfish) the sticks are made with codfish, and he is a well-known Italian voice actor, who also takes care of youtube; the other guy who is aesthetically more pirate is Marco Arata, aka Marck the hammer (j-ax instrumentalist) who also deals with youtube videos. The two boys are friends with each other and also friends of the Nanowar of Steel and the video is a play on words both on Maurizio's name and on Marck's appearance reminiscent of Jack sparrow.

Paolo Cellammare and Maurizio Merluzzo are actually co-workers they have a youtube channel named TheMerluzz after Maurizo Merluzzo which is a voice actor, meanwhile Marco Arato aka Mark the Hammer works in the music industry

Gattopanceri666 used to live in Germany and speaks German fluently. As a native speaker of German I can assure you that the lyrics are perfect. Of course you can detect a slight italian influence, but: this is great, hilarious and very, very well put together.

Extra lookinforanickname fact: The weapon used by captain Ass Do Mar in the clip is a "grissino" (breadstick). That's because in Italy, for years, one of the most famous brands of canned tuna used the slogan "così tenero, che si spezza con un grissino", translated "so tender, you can cut it with a breadstick".

If you grew up in a Catholic household, Fishstick Friday was something to dread. Fishsticks and tater tots. We'd get in trouble for arranging the plate into unsavory configurations of fishsticks and tater tots.

The Bass player, GattoPanceri666 did a podcast (on the Nanowar official KZread channel) some days ago talking about the new album, Italian Folk Metal, and the "folk" part Mostly, it is referred to the Italian "modern folklore", meaning the most iconic things of Italian culture of the last 20-30 years (like old men watching the construction sites, Capitan Findus or the Cedrata Tassoni), but he didn't referred to the musical part I hope this could be useful, and sorry for my butchered English Another little trivia, in the Italian song the chorus talks about "Rancid Ass do Mark", a parody of an Italian tuna can brand called As do Mar, and Mark is also a nickname of Marco Arata (thus, the "rivalry" in the video)

Man, I love your channel more and more each day. I can't stop singing that song along.

Their german is actually really good. I mean, yes you can hear an accent, but it isnt that dominant. I'm actually really surprised how good their german was in this song. Normally it sounds weird hearing non natives singing in german and I tend to focus on the mistakes while listening, but this song was really well done! Nanowar did a really good job on this one!

Fun fact: the blonde guy in the kitchen is an italian voice actor named Maurizio Merluzzo. He has worked with them in the past (see "Bestie di Seitan"), but this one is particularly accurate... because "MERLUZZO" means "CODFISH" (which is the fish used for those fish sticks). :P

Greetings from Germany! Really love your channel, please stay the way you are, I am excited about every video you make!

Great video Tank....alot of fun with this 1

I like all of it, especially the message, I will hear it right now again and leave a like on the song, thanks for introducing.^^

This song, music video and reaction is hysterical. Fantastic reaction. HADGD

the label is here from austria and as italy is our southern neighbour with some parts of the northern area speaking native german, its not that far away to make a german song (also the label can help with the writing) the pronounciation is pretty good as well (not perfect - but thats a good thing xD) and its more like a rammstein-ish german - so thats the kind of german no one really speaks xD much love from austria tank - keep it up!!!

Yup. They got us. And I am happy that that is what it is. Enjoyed the reaction as much as the song.

Thank Odin!! I didn't really believe it but you can't be sure with those Italians 😄😄 love the song, video and reaction!

Their accent is pretty... Italian :) but for native Italians this is pretty good! For me this is a mashup of Rammstein and Sabaton with a big big topping of Nanowar of Steel! :D Really liked it :)

I was waiting for this one!

Talking about Alestorm, Alestorms keyboards (Elliot Vernon) released an EP a week and a bit ago (although I just found out yesterday), and for now I've been listening to the first 2 songs on repeat and they are absolutely amazing (I'm sure the other 3 are great too, I just have to get to them, and to resist clicking replay at the end of the song) You could react to some songs from the EP (it's called "the flame")

Finally - a song about Fish Sticks! I'm german and when I hear them and read the lyrics it's sounds pretty good. But I've listened to it without the video and didn't understand as much as with the video. But it's fine, german is not an easy language 😉 You said the title really good!

I have much of the same problem with the Italian version, and I'm Italian, but I think it's because metal singing is harder to understand than general songs.

The guy who wants to eat the fish sticks is Maurizio Merluzzo (ironically merluzzo means cod in italian) a professional voice actor who played the role of Zamasu in the italian dub of Dragon Ball Super.

I found this song while making dinner (salmon) yesterday. Man was I confused. The accent is a bit italian, but not that heavy, the length of some vowels is wrong, but it is still very easy to understand. They emphasise the plosive sounds (p, t, ...) a lot. I guess to fit the music.

Their german is good, you can understand everything but they have a heavy accent (not as heavy as many regional dialects).

i heard this song for the first time a couple weeks ago and i did not realise that this wasn't a german band. like, yes, they have distinctly non-german accents, but the actual pronunciation is so good that they could have very well grown up in germany

As a german, I was surprised. Mostly it's understandable, but the subs are helpful with some words

Is / was Captain Birdseye an advertising character in the US? In Britain we had loads of adverts for fish fingers / fish sticks featuring Captain Birdseye Named after the American company Birdseye founded by Clarence Birdseye. When I came to Germany I noticed the things that in Britain would be marked "Birdseye" where branded "Iglo" I was also impressed with the German lyrics complete with a German rhyme scheme and a reference to an albatros (an illusion to the Wagner opera Der fliegende Holländer The Flying Dutchman who also has a curse (Fluch) on him) My classical education in the Arts pays off in listening Nanowar of Steel which is a song about fish sticks but also more LOL

Funny thing about the whole song is how frozen and canned fish is basically industilazied fish. And kids are made advocates (working their parents) for this kind of fish.

I have to say, the German lyrics are a lot better than I expected! Sure, some words have an accent, but still I understood every single word. Really well done. Hats off! 👍🏻 Also in general the song with its catchy chorus is really good. I haven't heard that many of their songs yet, but I agree that there is some talent here. 🤘🏻 【 'Our rock never dies, ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】 🕊️

As a german I musst say its nearly perfect. You hear a little accent here and there but its not enough to matter. Especially when you consider the style of singing they used. The overpronounciation of the R thats common in pirate themed songs. If I would have just heard the song without knowing band nor name I would have thought it could be a Knokator song since thats a german band that sings in this style and is known for their funny texts.

Most epic cooking Battle. :,D

Interesting differences in the lyrics compared to the Italian version, though- in Italian it's "breadcrumbs and freedom" where in German they sing "breadcrumbs and class strife."

Funny thing is, this sounded a lot like some "Schlager" songs from northern Germany in the 80s, that were mostly very "sailorish" themed. Minus the metal part of course. If i heard this just casually in the background i could mistake it for such. If that was by design...and i have almost no doubt it was...cudos to them, man. 🥰🥰🥰

When the lyrics go faster it's getting hard to understand but for the most part they pronounce their German very well. Despite the subtitle mistake on the 28 wich was mentioned by someone else in a comment before, the only thing I recognized was the Fischboulette, which should have been Fischbulette without the o and the e at the end not silent like in French (nit-picking on a high level here). Actually, Fischfrikadelle is even more common but that's just a regional difference and every German would recognize each version. You've probably checked out the Italian version too, the lyrics are slightly different in some parts without affecting the overall tone. I would prefer that version to just listen to, somehow it has a more earpleasing flow to me but the video is more fun with the German lyrics.

Great as always my guy! Nanowar always provides some good lulz. I'm gonna keep suggesting you look at babymetal some more, they have so much good stuff out there. The kami band is beyond talented and the girls know how to put on a show and can control a crowd like no other

I'm German, and I didn't know beforehand who this band actually was (I thought all their music was Pirate Metal) but I came to understand that they were Italian. Yet, while listening to this song, I never thought twice about German being a foreign language for them, they had almost zero accent and pronounced every word just fine. I guess they actually speak German (?) based on how fluent they spoke. This is not so far off, as Germany and Italy are neighbors, however I for one cannot speak Italian. As a German, I'd say Nanowar of Steel might be the best non-German German speakers I've heard so far. Congratulations

Hey Tank! As always I loved your video! Quick suggestion, Marco Arata (the guy who looks like captain Sparrow) is a brilliant musician and he have a youtube channel in english that is hilarious! Several stuff, but the series "how to make music with no talent" it will definitelly cracks you! :D Once again! Great job and see you on your next video!

Speaking of Alestorm, Christopher Bowes latest band he's in, Wizardthrone, has dropped their new single from their debut album. "Frozen Winds of Thyraxia". It's pretty damn good. Just an FYI. Hope you and yours are doing well. ✌🤘

The music is sort of Rhapsody of fire mixed with Alestorm. This is so freaking funny :D Love the upbeat power/folk metal, it always gets me in a good mood \m/ :D

The Massage behind this is so Important! Rethink ur fish consume.

That's not the first song they sung in German. In 2014, I believe, they released a song called "Schwanzwald", which is a wordplay on Schwarzwald, the German name of the Black Forest in southern Germany.

I love these funny songs with your reactions like hypa hypa too. Id recommend checking out Turmion Kätilöt - Dance Panique for some more non english funny metal as well either as reaction or just for some nightly head banging :D

In the part with the "Rauschebart", the singer sounds eerily like J.B.O.

Im heavily Suprised. Usually you dont Understand anyhting if Foreigners try to speak German (especially if Hollywood try to sound German, its soooo bad). But Nanowar did some good Job and as a Native German you dont really need the translation, even some harder words are very well pronounced like Würzen, Dünsten, Grillst and so on

Now we need the English version from Alestorm
