It's always a pleasure to see your beard shaking at the rhythm of some stupid tune of ours! We're glad you enjoyed this one, too! And sorry for the lack of subtitles in the italian spoken part... that is a verse taken from Dante's Divine Comedy, and it is written in ancient italian that no one understands anyway
Italian here. The "pape satan aleppe" is from Dante's Inferno. A demon at the Gates of hell shouts it. Its nonsense that has been interpreted in many ways. It's a hymn to Satan, "Pape" could mean Pope (so "Pope Satan") and "aleppe" could mean something like "allez paix", french for "peace go away". In the italian bit in the song (also from Dante's Inferno), Vergil (Dante's guide in the afterlife) tells Dante not to worry about the demon shouting to intimidate them. Also, "c'è da spostare una bara, è un diesel" means "there's a coffin that has to be moved, it's a diesel", probably a reference to the trash italian song "C'è da spostare una macchina" by Francesco Salvi. Cheers!
Another Italian : yeah the coffin bit is for sure a reference to that song but i think it's also a play on DJs in rural "trashy" clubs jsut announcing there's a car to move in the middle of the set(i heard it happen a lot lol) which might be a very italian thing
@@jotunn30 I think I heard in an interview that they used that line because in a district in Rome where they went clubbing back in the day there were nearly no parking spaces so cars got towed all the time?
Più guardo il video più saltano fuori perle: "C'è da spostare una macchina", il gesto simbolo di "La notte vola", "Moonlight Shadow", "Scatman" e poi citazioni di Dante e del Necronomicon... Scommetto che se lo riguardo spunta fuori qualcos'altro 😃
@@danielasantarelli6396 La citazione dal Necronomicon era una citazione da Il giorno in cui la Terra si fermò prima che la usassero già nel Necronomicon.
"What is morgue?" (What is Love?) at the same time as "The Ritual of the night" (The Rhythm of the Night) and "Be be Beelzebub" (The Scatman)... all in the middle of a metal song. Nanowar did it again.
"barabar bebe belzebub" - Scatman (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop) "what is Morgue.....dance with the zombies.....the zombies........" - Haddaway - What Is Love , "Klaatu barada nikto" - The Day the Earth Stood Still......."this is the ritual of the night" - Corona - The Rhythm of the Night, Snap - Every Body Dance Now and i miss many more for sure. the italian part is from the "divina commedia " by Dante Alighieri a 1300's book written in old italian language
I wonder, what could be a good line up for a whole festival full of bands that don't take themselves too serious? I was also thinking of Feuerschwanz, Alestorm, Rumahoy, Windrose and Gloryhammer. Together with Nanowar of Steel and Electric Callboy they really have that party metal vibe. But how to fill an entire day? Any more ideas that fits the list?
@@sevendam9070 I've been to the Alestorm concert few weeks ago, it was Alestorm + Gloryhammer + Wind Rose + Rumahoy and that was honestly the best line up ever. I agree with you, Feuerschwanz would also fit in here. And how about Trollfest? or We Butter The Bread With Butter?
"Pape Satan Aleppe" is the opening line of Canto VII of Dante Alighieri's Inferno. It's famous for the uncertainty of it's meaning. The most widespread modern interpretation is that it's some kind of demonic invocation to Satan.
There are a ton of references, some will be obscure even to Italians, since they are quite old. Frex, at some point, you can hear "c'è da spostare una macchina" who means "there is a car to be move". Which is a rather common announcement who happens while at disco, but is a reference to an old trash song of the same title, made in 1998 by Francesco Salvi, who was mainly a comic actor but has done some funny songs
To be precise he says there is a coffin to move but the reference is to he song you told. The reek of putrefaction reference is a Carcass album title. The Dante's Commedia verse is slightly altered and when they sing Pape Satan Aleppe over and over it sounds very similar to Papetee which is a summer beach resort in Milano Marittima where Salvini, an Italian politician know for his anti immigration views used to go. Emilia Romagna, where Milano Marittima is, is famous for its nightlife and discos.
The Italian part is an extract of the poem "The Divine Comedy" written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. It is defined as the greatest masterpiece of the Italian literature and It is read in every Italian school done by the age interval from 14 to 18.
5:00 Because the winner of Sanremo (The italian biggest music festival) goes to the eurovision for italy and I don't know if the Nanowar want to partecipate (Sarebbe un gran Sanremo ma mi sa che non lo vedremo mai), they may use the "Scappatoia of San Marino" like Achille Lauro but i am going to far down the rabbit hole for a non-Italian comment section 7:02 He is reading Verses from the Divina Commedia (Dante Alighieri's masterpiece), the verses speaks about Dante meeting Pluto in IV circle of Hell, Pape Satan Aleppe is what Pluto said and it's an invocation for Lucifer
Lo stavo scrivendo proprio in un commento sopra, io li vedrei da dio a partecipare per S. Marino, tanto il livello dei loro vincitori è sempre pessimo ahah
The most hilarious thing is that now all the world knows about Formia, a city 40km from where I live and before NoS song no one have clue what it was... neither in Italy xD
4:55 They actually ran in the San Marino selection for Eurovision last year. Sadly the Sanmarinesi failed to grasp their potential. P.S. NoS just dropped a new bomb(shell): Pasadena 1994. If you react to that live I hope I won't miss it.
There is only one problem with NoS at Eurovision: Italy sends there only the winner of "Sanremo", a popular music contest hosted in the omonimous city. Knowing how square is italian mainstream, sadly nanowar won't ever get a chance to compete
8:07 ScatTank According with the majority of the translations, "Pape Satan Aleppe" (it is the single expression of the Divine Comedy with the higher number of different interpretations) said by Pluto in 4th ring of Hell could mean "Satan king of Hell what do I have to witness!". This is also the title of the last book of Umberto Eco, author of The Name of the Rose. The assay subtitles is "Chronicles of a liquid society". It speaks about the crisis of ideologies and italian politics, the widespread unbridled individualism, and much more. The vision of the author seems amplified in today Italy, especially during the infamous Sanremo festival, the cringiest "music" show that a human could conceive. This year has reach in the opinion of many (including my ancient mother) the peak of degeneracy. My interpretation is that the monsters that populate the Disco Metal represent singers and entertainers who populate Sanremo. In the comment section of Disco Metal they declare this is their answer to the festival which is indirectly reaponsible to not allow them to go on Euro-vision, because sh*tt* italian regulations admit to the european festival only the winners of Sanremo... and metal bands are not allowed of course. Btw Even Nanowar pop music is way superior to the average Sanremo festival song.
As a huge Nanowar fan, I am so excited that their new album releases 2 days before my birthday. I really wish they could come to Florida so I could see them live. This song is awesome.
when any group mixes manages to mix euro music into metal the rigth way, its epic. eurodance was my thing back in the day, still love it. techno not as much but i did like it alot.
next video from nanowar could be " Pasadena 1994"... they roped Joakim Broden for it or "Metal Boomer Battalion"🤣, there's some photo on set running around, and it scream sabaton so... IT WILL BE GLORIOUS
They never made to Eurovision because the Italian Eurovision entry for it is the winner of another competition called Festival di Sanremo and whould be had for them to win the contest or even enter it. But would be absolutely awesome seeing them at the Eurovision. I'm waiting for March 3rd to see if Lord of the lost will win the German selection fo the Eurovision.
German entry is going to be another crap pop song people will forget about before the music starts. Selection method in Germany is basically a bunch of old businessmen with no clue about music and the collective humour of two pounds of very dead pigeons. Who also run German radio channels, so take a guess what music those play.
the chorus held me a (very happy) prisoner for days, I couldn't get it out of my head (but to be fair, I didn' try). probably my faovurite Nanowar song (scratches that eurotrash itch).
Italian here ready to explain some references, I hope that being this late won't get this comment buried and unseen: -Eurovision: we could easily win with Nanowar, I dream but we'll never see them on stage, because Italian selections is basically sending whoever wins Sanremo festival, which not only is too different from their style and genre but followed and judged by people who will never make them win. Biancodolce was, in fact, a parody of the stereotype Sanremo-winner (or Sanremo-hit in general) -"c'è da spostare una bara": inside a disco you may hear "there's a car to move" or something like that, when someone parked badly/in the middle of where they shouldn't have. "è un diesel" means "it's a diesel" and "la vogliamo LA sposrarLA o no?" is a really broken italian for "do one wants to move it or not???" -The Scatman reference. This will be long but be prepared because there's just SO much: is also a cinema reference: we have REALLY trash movies which are like a bad cult (you know the ones that everybody knows, everybody knows are bad and are so bad nobody actually watches them). They're called cinepanettoni, they come out around Christmas and basically feature a group of people doing christmas holidays in places like India or equally tropical and often classic touristy places, trash and fairly sexist comedy style based on the classic comedy of misunderstanding, childish sex jokes and showing boobs. Now, scatman is a recurring theme and is used on basically all the trailers. THAT'S NOT ALL: one of the main actors is Christian De Sica. He's the son of the famous and actually good actor Vittorio De Sica, kind of like Hitchcook's son ended up directing and acting in American Pie, to give an idea of the seriousness of the two. We're not talking about his father, but about his mother's step-brother: HE'S THE FUCKING ASSASSIN OF LEV TROTSKY! Yes, THAT Trotsky. And this fact is mentioned into Chupacabra Cadabra too, because it's so absurd it can't be slept on.
I litterally wear only bands t shirts, mostly metal bands, and I have a t shirt of Nanowar, there is no random guy who ever stopped me or just even said me "hey cool t shirt" except with the Nanowar t shirt on the bus😎
From what remember from my copy of the annotated Inferno, the “Pape Satan Aleppi” bit was nonsense gibberish even in the 1300’s, Dante had a random demon babbling it.
I just have to mention this: my absolute favourite little segment is HPL as bouncer🤣. And yes, like any well done EDM song this is *such an earworm* 😆. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
On the references that are in the last part of the song - the italian verses are from a 1200 poem called "divina commedia" from "Dante Alighieri" a medieval italian literature masterpiece, and that specific part is from a section of the poem that is known as "inferno" which means hell. More preciselt "Canto VII" of the Inferno (section seven). Pape satan pape Satan aleppe: well, there is an entire encyclopedia article only on these few words, and it'd be too long to explain it all in a youtube comment, but for those who are willing to dig deeper into one of the "misteries" of ancient italian literature, there you go :) Then there is a small reference to an italian trash song from 1988: th-cam.com/video/uXfux0VttNw/w-d-xo.html the original title is "c'è da spostare una macchina" (there is a car to be moved), and it was referenced with "c'è da spostare una bara" (there is a coffin to be moved) and then scatman, but this last one was fairly easy :)
Thank you Tank for yet another great reaction video. Another reference that might be missed at the first watch is the "horny cacodaemon" (lit. demon of chaos, a monster from the first editions of D&D, later used also as one of the enemies in the DOOM videogame franchise), immediately followed by a bottle of "DOOM Perignon".
The pepe satan aleppe is from Dante Alighieri (inferno chant VII) and the back vocal "c'è da spostare una bara" is a reference to another italian Song made by the comedian Francesco Salvi called "c'è da spostare una macchina"
A suggestion for you: I'd love to see (and hear) your reaction to the band Gnome - the track Wenceslas would be a good place to start (but so much other good stuff from them out there..)
@TankTheTech Thanks for letting me know Powerwolf is on tour; I just bought a pit ticket to see them on March 25th at the Wiltern. That should be a great show.
First time hearing this and immediately got another famous Italian band stuck in my brain now...Eiffel 65. Have to give it 9.5, da ba dee da ba dive :)
Just to add if anyone is interested: Original from Inferno - Canto VII «Pape Satàn, pape Satàn aleppe!», cominciò Pluto con la voce chioccia; e quel savio gentil, che tutto seppe, disse per confortarmi: «Non ti noccia la tua paura; ché, poder ch'elli abbia, non ci torrà lo scender questa roccia». Translation in current Italian «Oh Satana, oh Satana, dio!», cominciò (a gridare) Pluto con la voce roca (chioccia): e quel saggio premuroso, che tutto aveva compreso (seppe), disse per confortarmi: «Non ti sia di impedimento (Non ti noccia) la tua paura; poiché, per quanto potere egli abbia, non ci impedirà di scendere questa balza rocciosa». Translation in English «Oh Satan, oh Satan, god!», began (to shout) Pluto in a hoarse (hen) voice: and that thoughtful sage, whom he understood all (he knew), he said to comfort me: "Do not be an impediment to you (Do not harm you) your fear; for, however much power he has, he will not prevent us from descending this craggy crag.' sorry in advance for the bad translation; "chioccia" in current Italian langiage is "hen" in English; in old vulgar Italian (the one Dante uses for The Divine Comedy) means hoarse.
The Italian part is probably a reference to Gabry Ponte, who used to place some poetry in his songs, like "La danza delle streghe" "A Silvia" or "Geordie".
Hey tank I've just come across a band which I think you'd like they have just signed to napalm records they are called tragedy they are a heavy metal tribute to the bee gees their tagline is "a heavy metal tribute to the bee gees and beyond" they do alot of 70s disco covers in a metal style I thought and they have toured with nanowar of steel and steel panther
I highly recommend to react to Kim Dracula and start with his first own Video "Make me famous". Knowing that you love Bands like Electric Callboy, Falling In Reverse an Nanowar, who always drop something special, i guarantee you will freak out on this band!!!
I am Brazilian and they remind me of Mamonas assassinas a 90's band that was all about the jokes but great songs too but unfortunatly they sang in portugues and they died 7 months after the fist album
They never mande it to Eurovision because in italy the Sanremo Festival winner is the candidate for eurovision, and Sanremo is still very much a traditional (aka booooring) festival, with lots of caryatids participating, or soul-less pop song that disapper one year after the win. Maneskin, for what are worth, were by far the only reasonable candidate for an Eurovision contest. Nanowar try to accesso Eurovision partecipating at a spanish talent show, therefore goint there representing Spain, but the judges were not too fond of Norwegian Reggaeton ahha. Also, so far no reactors reacted to Klaatu Barada Nikto
the thing tha makes me laugh so hard is thinking that an american bearded dude (love you Tank) who is from letterally the other part of the world sometimes in the morning sings in his head " voglio andare a Formiaaaaaaaaaaaaa""
they tried, they tried to go for spain and lichenstein too, x factor spain too... but they can't recognize good music if they bashed their face with it
@@darkiee69 they sent Maneskin because Maneskin won Sanremo. So I think that the guy/band who won Sanremo will go to Eurovision. If I'm not mistaken, the same story happened with Mahmood
The way it works is quite simple and brilliant. It is essentially a eurobeat song, and this particular genre is a Japanese twist on italo disco was but on meth. Check songs such as Running in the 90s, Futureland, Mikado, and the whole Initial D ost. Listen to this for example: th-cam.com/video/piAAdJXyKtM/w-d-xo.html I fucking love Nanowar, I've been a fan since 2007 or 2008 xD

Pape satan pape Satan aleppe: well, there is an entire encyclopedia article only on these few words, and it'd be too long to explain it all in a youtube comment, but for those who are willing to dig deeper into one of the "misteries" of ancient italian literature, there you go :)
Then there is a small reference to an italian trash song from 1988: th-cam.com/video/uXfux0VttNw/w-d-xo.html the original title is "c'è da spostare una macchina" (there is a car to be moved), and it was referenced with "c'è da spostare una bara" (there is a coffin to be moved)
and then scatman, but this last one was fairly easy :)
I really love how the dancers added parts from the dance from Micheal Jacksons Thriller
Now this a vibe xD
It might be a bit old at this point but I'd love to see you react to TrollfesT's Dance Like a Pink Flamingo :)
So hyped for more Nanowar of Steel
Thank you Tank for yet another great reaction video.
Another reference that might be missed at the first watch is the "horny cacodaemon" (lit. demon of chaos, a monster from the first editions of D&D, later used also as one of the enemies in the DOOM videogame franchise), immediately followed by a bottle of "DOOM Perignon".
...and let's not forget Horny, of Dungeon Keeper fame.
I fucking love this song! I'm not a nightclub person, but I'd dance to this, no hesitation.
"Klaatu Barada Nikto" is a reference for Evil Dead (Army of Darkness) movie.
Oh man I can't believe I didn't catch that one.
@@TankTheTech Necro post: Which is actually taken from the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The pepe satan aleppe is from Dante Alighieri (inferno chant VII) and the back vocal "c'è da spostare una bara" is a reference to another italian Song made by the comedian Francesco Salvi called "c'è da spostare una macchina"
I would love to be in the room where they brainstorm ideas for their songs.
This song is funny as hell. Great party song.
Your going to enjoy this.
Festival season this summer about to go hard
A suggestion for you: I'd love to see (and hear) your reaction to the band Gnome - the track Wenceslas would be a good place to start (but so much other good stuff from them out there..)
Ok, this was something else. I almost feel dirty liking this as much as I did. 😅
Definitely new fav metal not metal song… so good ❤
@TankTheTech Thanks for letting me know Powerwolf is on tour; I just bought a pit ticket to see them on March 25th at the Wiltern. That should be a great show.
The outfit Mr. Baffo is wearing is from the movie Bram Stroker's Dracula. It was what Gary Oldman wore.
I LOVE the code word to get in the club. Only thing that would have made that joke better would be Gort dancing in the backround.. He may be.. lol
it's like everything great about 90s club music and METAL
Seems to be an Italian Metal characteristic... prefer Wind Rose's Diggy Diggy hole (Disco Mix), which also holds as a live track.
From 'Everybody' to Thriller my brain has recieved so much references that I couldn't know where to start... 🤣 I love these guys.
*PAPE SATAN PAPE SATAN ALEPPE*
Cool something to put between Turbolover and Maniac on the mix tape. Pre show music by Bill McClintock.
First time hearing this and immediately got another famous Italian band stuck in my brain now...Eiffel 65. Have to give it 9.5, da ba dee da ba dive :)
Just to add if anyone is interested:
Original from Inferno - Canto VII
«Pape Satàn, pape Satàn aleppe!»,
cominciò Pluto con la voce chioccia;
e quel savio gentil, che tutto seppe,
disse per confortarmi: «Non ti noccia
la tua paura; ché, poder ch'elli abbia,
non ci torrà lo scender questa roccia».
Translation in current Italian
«Oh Satana, oh Satana, dio!»,
cominciò (a gridare) Pluto con la voce roca (chioccia):
e quel saggio premuroso, che tutto aveva compreso (seppe),
disse per confortarmi: «Non ti sia di impedimento (Non ti noccia)
la tua paura; poiché, per quanto potere egli abbia,
non ci impedirà di scendere questa balza rocciosa».
Translation in English
«Oh Satan, oh Satan, god!»,
began (to shout) Pluto in a hoarse (hen) voice:
and that thoughtful sage, whom he understood all (he knew),
he said to comfort me: "Do not be an impediment to you (Do not harm you)
your fear; for, however much power he has,
he will not prevent us from descending this craggy crag.'
sorry in advance for the bad translation; "chioccia" in current Italian langiage is "hen" in English; in old vulgar Italian (the one Dante uses for The Divine Comedy) means hoarse.
The Italian part is probably a reference to Gabry Ponte, who used to place some poetry in his songs, like "La danza delle streghe" "A Silvia" or "Geordie".
They are touring the US opening for Dragonforce and Amaranthe, checking them out next week!
Huh, looks like the monster mash aged better than expected.
Good song for Eurovision lol
The part that is in italian is a quote from the Divine comedy
Hey tank I've just come across a band which I think you'd like they have just signed to napalm records they are called tragedy they are a heavy metal tribute to the bee gees their tagline is "a heavy metal tribute to the bee gees and beyond" they do alot of 70s disco covers in a metal style I thought and they have toured with nanowar of steel and steel panther
TANK YOU NEED TO REALLY check the easter eggs and facts on this song its actually a master piece!!
That's such a fun song, and for some reason I really want to be one of those dancing zombies 🧟♀️
Pasadena 1994 video just dropped
Hilarious
Check out Darko Us one take on some of their songs on by Calibertv. His range is insane!!!
React "2022 em uma musica" by Lucas inutilismo. You will thank me after watching.
Then look at the 2020 one too.
They are masterpieces.
this gives me vibes of like…what an Electric Callboy cover of Falling In Reverse “Zombified” would be like
Klaatu Barada Nikto is known as "the most famous alien sentence" from the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still"
I love how it’s just heavy eurobeat
I would absolutly love it if you could react to Paleface. (Fav song Inevitable)
I highly recommend to react to Kim Dracula and start with his first own Video "Make me famous". Knowing that you love Bands like Electric Callboy, Falling In Reverse an Nanowar, who always drop something special, i guarantee you will freak out on this band!!!
I am Brazilian and they remind me of Mamonas assassinas a 90's band that was all about the jokes but great songs too but unfortunatly they sang in portugues and they died 7 months after the fist album
next time i'd like see the reaction of ther new song Pasadena 1994, or I've already missed it?
They never mande it to Eurovision because in italy the Sanremo Festival winner is the candidate for eurovision, and Sanremo is still very much a traditional (aka booooring) festival, with lots of caryatids participating, or soul-less pop song that disapper one year after the win.
Maneskin, for what are worth, were by far the only reasonable candidate for an Eurovision contest.
Nanowar try to accesso Eurovision partecipating at a spanish talent show, therefore goint there representing Spain, but the judges were not too fond of Norwegian Reggaeton ahha.
Also, so far no reactors reacted to Klaatu Barada Nikto
2:56 I heard it and I recognize it but I can't recall what it is. Explain.
the thing tha makes me laugh so hard is thinking that an american bearded dude (love you Tank) who is from letterally the other part of the world sometimes in the morning sings in his head " voglio andare a Formiaaaaaaaaaaaaa""
Am I the only one who got both the army of darkness reference and the thriller dance the people were doing
Italy should send this to Eurovision!!!
they tried, they tried to go for spain and lichenstein too, x factor spain too... but they can't recognize good music if they bashed their face with it
@@Silverized84 I mean, the did send Måneskin. Maybe they can't afford another win so soon after? 😁
@@darkiee69 they sent Maneskin because Maneskin won Sanremo. So I think that the guy/band who won Sanremo will go to Eurovision. If I'm not mistaken, the same story happened with Mahmood
@@arietuno yeah, but nanowar can't apply for sanremo if they don't make melodic
@@arietuno correct!
Live on twitch; Undead on TH-cam
The way it works is quite simple and brilliant. It is essentially a eurobeat song, and this particular genre is a Japanese twist on italo disco was but on meth. Check songs such as Running in the 90s, Futureland, Mikado, and the whole Initial D ost. Listen to this for example: th-cam.com/video/piAAdJXyKtM/w-d-xo.html I fucking love Nanowar, I've been a fan since 2007 or 2008 xD
"Ritual of the night" refers to Corona's "The rhythm of the night".
th-cam.com/video/OnT58cIJSpw/w-d-xo.html
This song is full of Easter eggs to other songs
When they do the Scatman reference they say Be-be-be-be-beelzebub
They have an even newer video: Pasadena 1994 :D
is this pape sa tan the same rhythm of papaya by babymetal? Just a bit slower?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The winner of San Remo festival goes to Eurovision. We all want Nanowar at Eurovision but it is not possible
