Welcome to the Sabaton army! As others have said, they sing about events and people in military history who deserve to be remebered (or should not be forgotten). Here are some recommendeations: - Christmas Truce (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoSYqs2Bo8-sebg.html) - About the short, unofficial truce between British, French and German troops in 1914, when they laid down their weapons to celebrate Christmas together in the no man's land between the trenches. - No Bullets Fly (animated version, kzread.info/dash/bejne/lqegsY9sd8rLnrw.html) - About the German fighter pilot during World War II who saved the lives of an American bomber pilot and crew by escorting their badly damaged plane to safety. - 82nd All The Way (kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoCHkrxxlsrPeaw.html) - About American sergeant Alvin York who led the 82nd Infantry Division against a German machine gun nest in 1918 and captured 132 German soldiers pretty much single-handedly. - 1916 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/ept7ysqngaWXl9o.html) - A Motörhead cover, about the horrific price in lives of World War 1 (and war in general). - Soldier of Heaven (kzread.info/dash/bejne/fo19lceel6ywnKw.html) About the incident known as White Friday, when avalanches struck both Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops fighting in the Alps during WW1. - The Last Stand (kzread.info/dash/bejne/m21219KgnKvKpLA.html) - About the small force of incredibly loyal Swiss Guards who defended the Vatican during The Sack of Rome in 1527. - Attack of the Dead Men (kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKyf29CkiqS3ipM.html) - About the battle of Osowiec Fortress in 1915, where Russian soldiers who were dying from poison gas still managed to fight back against the invading Germans. - To Hell and Back (kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJyhqrV6c8-tYcY.html) - About Audie Murphy, one of the most decorated US soldiers of WW2, his deeds and struggles with PTSD after the war. - The Unkillable Soldier (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGiqzMGQcpjdj84.html) - The early story of sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, a man who survived so many wars, injuries and incidents that he became known as "the man who cannot be killed". - En Livstid i Krig ("A Lifetime of War", sung live in Swedish but with English subtitles: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXanlalqgNnflrA.html) - About the experience of young men being drafted to fight in the 30 Years' War in Europe in the early 17th century.

1916 is a good option, but it makes many people cry, otherwise, I recommend all of their animated videos, such as No Bullets Fly, Night Witches and Lady of the Dark

Sabaton consider themselves as "power metal". They sing about historical events. They have a second channel Sabaton History where they talk in depth about their songs and the events that inspired them.

Actually Sabaton members (Joakim & Pär) themselves just say they are their own version of heavy metal (their style varies quite a bit depending on the song after all), it's everyone else that still continue to insist they are specifically powermetal.

​@GlobalOutcast Yepp, its true.. Hannes (sabaton drummer) is married to Floor and they live in Sweden with their daughter and a floors horses :) Btw, yes..Sabaton is a swedish band and has been around since 1999 :-)

Thanks for reacting to Sabaton! Joakim Brodén, the lead singer, often opens concerts "We are Sabaton, We play heavy metal!" He writes most of the music and many lyrics. The great bass player Pär Sundström writes lyrics with Joakim. Pär is also the band's manager. He said that playing music is 1% of what he does as managar. There are two fantastic guitarists: Chris Rörland writes music and is a graphic artist. Tommy Johansson played guitar until January 2024, when he is leaving to focus on Majestica and his KZread Channel. Hannes Van Dahl is the incredible drummer, married to Nightwish singer Floor Jansen. If you like this music, your life will never be the same. Suddenly, without much effort, you will remember the major battles of the various wars, remember the day that "720 Polish soldiers fought over 40,000 Germans at The Battle of Wizna and halted the German advance for 3 days." (Sabaton History Channel). You will remember Henry Johnson and the Harlem Hellfighters, there's much more! For suggestions, the other posts are great! I'd add Soldier of Heaven and Sarejevo. The Final Solution is very sombre. A fan favorite is Woodstock 2012. The festival had over 700,000 people, many of them Polish. The band opened with Ghost Division (about Rommel's tanks invading France), Then played "Uprising." about" the Warsaw Uprising, a major insurrection by the Polish Resistance against Nazi Germany in 1944. The lyrics describe the events, the resistance, and the casualties of the uprising, " via Sabaton History Channel. Thanks for your fine reaction, and I subscribed:)

Welcome to sabaton, teaching history and reviving legacies.

Musical military history lessons (facts, no sides, no propaganda) - makes school more interesting! Sabaton is from Sweden. The name of the boat the band plays on in this video, "Primo Victoria", is also the name of another Sabaton song. "Night Witches" or "No Bullets Fly" animated videos are also worth reacting to. The guys in the band and the video crew froze making this "Bismarck" video - Joakim, the singer, was probably bashing his leg to make sure it was still there! "This song is dedicated to all those who fought in the Battle For The Atlantic." WW2, like my Dad. The name Sabaton comes from the name for a piece of armour a knight wore upon his foot.

Sabaton is a Swedish metal band that has a historic background to their songs that you can read about, Bismarck, The last stand, Christmas truce, No bullets fly (animated) and so on. Read about the history behind the songs before you listen to them! They even have a history channel where they break down the songs. The drummer is married to Nightwish lead singer Floor Jansen!

Power metal

Say hello to the coolest history teachers on the Internet. The other band you were recommended was probably Nightwish, which is fitting because their lead singer is married to Sabaton's drummer. I won't spoil the surprise beyond that.

Sabaton’s “Attack of the Dead men” is a great song

Welcome to "the Sabaton Experience." They do TRUE stories of war - and they don't "pick sides." They tell stories of heroism, valor, and mercy. Each song is about a particular incident in history during war. This one reflects the story of the Bismark battleship and a battle that happened in the Atlantic during WWII. If I might suggest - two very good songs made as "movies" : ---- "No Bullets Fly" (the 8:54 second long one with Yarnhub - animated story) - the true story of a German pilot during WWII that came across an American bomber that was shot to pieces and instead of finishing it off he flew up alongside it to inspect the plane and saw wounded airmen taking care of OTHER wounded airmen and made the call to not shoot it down. In fact he ESCORTED the bomber out of Germany. The video also shows how, 45 years later, both pilots having survived the war, they met and became good friends. ------ "Christmas Truce" wherein during WWI - in 1914 - the soldiers on both sides called an unofficial truth during Christmas. They got out of their trenches, exchanged gifts, sang Christmas songs together and even played soccer. After the truce the war continued. The music may or may not be your "cup of tea", but the story telling is amazing. Many reactors have said: "If this is how they taught history when I was in school, I would have learned a lot more."

The wreck of Bismarck was discovered on 8 June 1989 by Robert Ballard, the oceanographer responsible for finding RMS Titanic. Bismarck was found to be resting on her keel at a dept of approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft), about 650 km (400 mi) west of Brest. 48°10′N 16°12′W

Welcome to Sabaton rabbit hole. history lesson, what I would have liked for school, I would have learned like something😂. great reaction, thanks for doing this. I hope at you continue you travel of this band.

Power metal that sings about military history

great reaction, more Sabaton please. Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 120 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedications and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly, enemy showing mercy to injured aircrew in a nearly wrecked aircraft barely still flying, even escorting them to safety. Night witches, Young (17-28) female bomber pilots in ww2 fighting the Nazi despite the discrimination they faced and being given obsolete equipment, aircraft ... Lady of the dark, female fighting alongside men during ww1 and being highly respected and even more decorated. Red baron, the famous fighter pilot of ww1 first soldier, unlikely French hero in ww1. Epic ORIGINAL videos. you just saw Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom is another original video worth checking out as well

Sabaton is history, when the song goes - you never know what you expect, a tip would be, wait till the song is totally done, info about why they made the song/singing about the subject... can usually be found. Enjoy your trip through their music! 1916 is a great song.

The energy of the boys of SABATON, brings the HISTORY to life .... INCREDIBLE! The Video and the performance and music are AMAZING 💪🏽💪🏽 Sabaton are my History - Books 📚 👉🏼 The CAPTAIN of this SHIP⚓ is the SON of a Bismarck SURVIVOR and portrays his FATHER 🤎 Thank you so much, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Sabaton is an amazing band from Sweden, there are 2 guitarits in the band and a bassplayer apart from Joachim the leadsinger and Hannes the drummer. Tommy Johansson one of the guitarists just left the band to follow his other projects. You´ll find him here under his name. He does covers on other artists every friday. Has his own band Reinxeed. Sabaton sing about historical events like ww1 and 2. The swedish history of war and past kings. I listen to them every day.

Sabaton!Huge fan here! History put to music, only way to learn! Please react to 1916 their version of🎸 "Motorhead"🎸 song! Also 🎶No Bullets Fly" 🎶animated version please! Thank you for reacting to this song of theirs!💯

Anything live from their concert in Warsaw Poland is dope. Look up 40 to 1 live from Warsaw 2012 with the enormous flag. You won't be disappointed

To Hell and Back is one of my faves

A few things you may want to know: 1) The first time you do a Sabaton song, you are going to want subtitles. There's a lot of history info in the lyrics 2) Not sure if you will want this before or after first reaction, but they also have a channel called "Sabaton History", where they talk about some of the history behind the song. (Some reactors don't watch it first because there are often short clips from the song in it.) 3) Even if you don't watch the Sabaton History, their website usually has a quick 1-2 sentence description of the historical event it's based on. 4) If watching a specific song, if there is an "Animated Story" video, USE THAT ONE! They'll put enough of the history in the video before/after the song to let you follow along better. Th is video is about the song. Sabaton filmed it with help from World of Warships. They also have a good relationship with World of Tanks. (If you play it, there is/was a Sabaton tank available at one point. I don't play and don't know if it still is.) You didn't watch the rest of the dedication. There are also a ton of incredible details all over in the video.

Welcome to power metal! No Bullets Fly is a song of theirs that tells an incredible story. HIGHLY recommend!

Tommy Johansson is an the lead guitarist amazing vocalist . See his covers of You Raise Me Up or Phantom of the Opera. From Sabaton I love Ghost in the Trenches.

You have to have the videos for Sabaton. Absolutely a must

They dont care to be put in a category. They want their fans to know them simply as, Sabaton🤘

I love the accuracy of the video, the detail with Bismarck trying to shoot down the Swordfish planes (Very outdated for WW2) the torpedo striking her aft which really was the cause of her demise since they couldn’t control her. The fact she went down fighting, another is the sinking, the turrets were so heavy they flipped her upside down and the turrets drop the guns. This is what I enjoy about Sabaton!

Hellooo and happy Friday!❤

They do that for 99% of their music videos. They try to make the most stunning vusual stories to match or compliment the songs.

Bismarck Was So Deadly It Had A Kill On Sight Order From The Allie's.

Don't deny yourself of watching Saboton's music video. They make the songs infinitely more powerful. Christmas Truce, No bullets fly, Night Witches, Lady of the Dark. These are all excellent places to go to next on your Saboton journey. Also, check out their history channel.

Historical metal

Sabaton are making a good work, promoting history. Bismarck was the pride of the Kriegsmarine, a 45000 tons iron monster... but no ship is invulnerable. By the way, there were two Bismark class ships!

Yeah personally, I've struggled a long time to find a slot for sabaton, because, it is most definitely metal, but they definitely have their own course plotted. I guess the closest I could maybe put them would be maybe somewhere between power and speed metal. It's all so very accurate when they play.

It’s definitely Power Metal

id classify Sabaton as master musicians and fantastic story tellers ive literally never heard a bad song , check out panzerkamft , En Livstid I Krig (live with lyrics because its in their native tounge.) christmas truce , 1916 , no bullets fly cover its all good man lol

They do History Metal, and that compass... fishing boat captain in the video, if I remember correctly it is the son of the last surviver from the Bismarck.

all of their music is based on military history as of now they have 2 albulms dedicated to WW1 they also have a history channel sabaton history

Welcome to the best history class you will ever get😂

You have to see Sabaton's guitarist who just quit Sabaton after 7 years. Tommy Johansson. His yt channel does covers of other bands. He sings like a god, has his own band majestica and plays over 10 instruments. You have to go in and listen to him. Tommy Johansson

"Attack of the Dead Men", live in Moscow , with Radio Tapac is a must !

They are a Power Metal band.

"The fleet is coming. He was made to rule the seven seas" really hits different when you know how angry THE ENTIRE BRITISH NATION was about the sinking of HMS Hood. Whole damn Navy rallied to sink one ship in revenge.

Sabaton sing about historical battles wars heroes etc they have a history channel where they go in depth about the history and a little about the song itself i highly recommend you watch it

Excellent reaction. Sabaton is often considered as one of the "big four" power metal bands (along with Blind Guardian, Dragonforce, and Helloween) however the band feels they are a form of heavy metal since they do not use the typical power metal high pitched vocals or fantasy themes. Sabaton uses historically accurate themes of courage, humanity, sacrifice, and honor that arise from the cauldron of war. Their music videos tend to be epic and movie quality while their live performance are high energy with considerable fan interaction.

Welcome to the Sabaton army and the Sabaton rabbit hole ❤💯🖤🤘

If you like this one, the next you should react to should probably be Panzerkamf.

Metal

If you enjoyed the naval aspects of this song, you should check out Dreadnaught and Midway. And if you are interested in the actual history, they have channel dedicated to the history behind the songs.

Check out "En livstid i krig" live, there´s english subtitles available.

That is a movie The Sinking Of The Bismark

SABATON - No Bullets Fly (Animated Story Video) kzread.info/dash/bejne/lqegsY9sd8rLnrw.html

Watch the guitarist Tommy Johansson's cover "She's Gone", he's got an amazing voice...

Most definitely!

Fun fact: the Bismark is the only ship to be referrered to as masculine, rather than feminine.

You ended video too early. There was "Song is dedicated tonthose who fought to bitter end during battle of the Atlantic" later

Sabaton - Dreadnought next please

This song is about cocaine . If you notice Paul McCartney didn't have on shoes and was dressed in a black suit . The rest of them had on shoes. So the rumor was Paul McCartney had passed but it was only a rumor

Greate reaction ,you should see when they sing in Swedish in Gothenburg in an ice hockey arena. My favorite is "En livstid i krig" "A lifetime at war" with that strong message that is still relevant even though it is about a war in the 17th century. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXanlalqgNnflrA.html Don't forget to turn on the subtitles I wish I was there.

So much history in the song that is over looked cause people don't know history...

They are unconventional "power metal". I say unconventional, because power metal tends to have a fantasy or mythological topic, whereas Sabaton gets their inspiration from military history. They are also not a monolithic band, they have also created a few ballads, and while the singer's voice is instantly recognizable, they do have many songs that are very, very different from what generally the most popular. Several are tear-jerkers.

So sad Americans know so little about history… so this can be your teachers 😂 ❤

Another to react to is Race to the Sea. Sabaton are a band of the highest integrity. This is their 25th year and I only learned of them about 8 months ago (and I have been listening to rock and roll and Heavy metal since the 70s). Th U.S. music machinery tend to be rather closed minded. After listening to any of Sabaton song and you want more details about them, check out their Sabaton History channel.

Just started listening to Sabaton this week. They sing accurate history . Much better songs than this and their live performance are epic. 3 Recommendations live below: 40:1 Uprising The christmas truce.

hi from germany is realy a shame I seen so many videos the now generation have no idea why so many died for freedom specialy they want now in usa a dictator for a day but one thing I have from history humans never learned from history

Nightwitches!!!!!

It makes me laugh when American's have to put on English subtitles on a Sabaton song as they speak perfect English. I have been to Stockholm the capital city of Sweden where I had conversations with local people who spoke perfect English. It baffles me that Yanks have to put on subtitles even when English people are speaking, there should be Automatic subtitles when American's speak and a volume control to turn down their voice because American's speak so loud. Putting on English subtitles on a Sabaton song where they are singing in perfect English, is a slap in the face to Joakim the singer from Sabaton and the Swedish nation.
