"Kriegsmarine" is not another ship name, it literaly means "war-navy" which was the name of the German navy in WW2 when this happened. The Bismarck was a huge warship that, as you can hear in the radio broadcast they used in the intro, sank the British battlecruiser Hood. The Bismarck only ever did one tour as it was such a prestigious and dangerous target that the allies put everything they had available into hunting it down and making sure it was dealt with. I'm sure someone has already suggested it but I'll suggest their song "Night Witches", the animated story video especially since it's not only the song but also gives a lot of information about the military unit this song is about.
Sabaton songs are all based on war history and they have their own history channel on You Tube explaining their songs. They tell the stories from a neutral perspective . Try En Livstid I Krig live in Gothenburg which is about the 30 year war in the 1700s. An emotional song and one to watch with the lyrics !
So happy you found another rabbit hole to explore. I love this band. I am not making any suggestions because I love ALL their music. A lot of people will mention, as I’m doing now, that the drummer Hannes van Dahl, is Floor’s husband 😂. The guy that did the guitar solo is Tommy Johansson, he is a multi instrumentalist and has a amazing voice with an incredible range. He also did some music for Floor’s solo work, witch you will love to explore I guess. The history channel of Sabaton is also really great, they make music of historical war events and are always dressed in the same camouflage. I hope Animal is okay , missed him for a couple of videos. Love you, keep them coming. 🤘🫶🇳🇱
🇫🇮 👍 As one who suggested this song with Floor's husband Hannes behind the drums, I appreciate you taking the time and all great comments that you made. For me, this is not among their top ten songs, but the music video is epic. It was created by the band & a computer game company specializing in naval warfare. As far as I know, Sabaton is the only metal band in the world that makes songs about the history of war.
@@bazkeen Thanks, but apparently I wasn't the only one. P.S. What are you thoughts about this cover by a great Swedish progressive metal band: Soen - Slipknot's "Snuff" (Official Performance Video) th-cam.com/video/51j38Yti7ck/w-d-xo.html
@@stpfs9281 Those are merely exceptions in the repertoire of Nightwish & Iron Maiden, and "makes" is a present tense, not something other bands have done in the past.
@@tarmotyyri6733 But Sabaton is the only band where it's a constant theme and they also go into the historical background. They also have videos where they explain what the songs are about.
Christmas Truce is one of their most beloved videos, and had Floor singing the outro..it's not unusual for the entire crowd to to sing there entire song with them all the way thru...En Livsted I Krig in Swedish with subtitle lyrics in particular draws in ne Sabaton fans
Yess Finally 💪💪 SABATON 🔝 The drummer 🥁 Hannes Van DAHL of this band is Floor Jansen's Husband. Together they have a Daughter Freja 🥰 NIGHTWISH and SABATON ARE very good friends together. Next No Bullets Fly 😎 and Christmas Truce Ending credit vocals (music video) by Floor Jansen!!! Also the Solo Guitarist in this Video, TOMMY JOHANSSON 🎸🎹🎙️ Is a great singer and has his own TH-cam channel with Great Covers 👌 Thank you very much, much love From the Netherlands 🇳🇱
2nd comment try. Lead singer Joakin Broden doesn't have a huge range, but uses every bit of what he does have. He and bassist Par Sundstrom are the primary songwriters and only origiinal members still there. Chris Rorland and Tommy Johansson on guitar, Hannes van Dahl on drums is the current lineup. The name painted on the boat they went out on ,Primo Victoria, is the name of their 1st album, the title track is about D-Day. The video graphics are so good because it was made in conjunction with Wargaming, the company that makes the World of Warships game. For moe try Christmad Truce, Ghost Division, 40:1, Soldier of Heaven, or the animated story videos for No Bullets Fly and Night Witches.
And of course, Joakim, with his wonderful sense of humor, has joked during interviews that he originally came into Sabaton as the keyboardist, but since he was also the best singer out of the original bunch, they asked him to sing, "until they could find a proper vocalist. Fifteen years later and they still haven't found anyone, the lazy bastards!" 🤣
Oh you gonna like this, btw the singer is a total beast when they perform live... Even just watching him feels like a workout 😂 Kriegsmarine was the name of the german navy in ww2
So many good songs from these guys. They specialise in historical events, usually something to do with wars through the ages. They also have the Sabaton History channel which explains the history behind their songs. Should also check out their guitarists channel. Tommy Johannson. He has a killer voice and truck loads of talent. Bismarck was sunk during the Second World War
Their current concert tour is with Epica throughout North America. They were at the Ryman in Nashville last week. I'm heading to the one in Philly next week. I can't wait! You need to watch 40:1 live at Woodstock in Poland. Over 400,000 people were in the audience.
Sabaton is simply the best way to learn history. I agree with what has been suggested so far, Sabaton is one huge rabbit hole. Also check out Tommy Johansson, Sabaton guitarist, who is also a frontman in his own band, Majestica, and releases new cover on his channel every week. I recommend his covers Who wants to live forever (Queen) and She's gone (Steelheart) for start
Great reaction . Please react sabaton ,,christmas truce,, That"s a 8.39 min. masterpiece with Floor Jansen in the last 2 min. (greetings from nightwish fan) .
Great reaction ya'll. Its a shame you dont find music like this in USA.. So many good bands from other countries. You should try " Song of myself" from the Wacken concert by NIGHTWISH.
Just stumbled across you guys during my random searches for new Sabaton reactions.. welcome to a HUGE rabbithole and the world of my favourite band for about 20 years, now.. let me say, I liked your way to approach this, a lot, you definitely deserve a subscription, and I hope for many more reactions to my favourite guys from Sweden... if I may make further suggestions, to cover a widespread impression of their capabilities and developement... "Ghost Division", live at Woodstock, Poland.... "Red Baron" live in Munich.... "En livstid I krig", live in Gothenburg.... "Cliffs of Gallipoli".. "Hearts of Iron", lyrics video.... and one of my all time favourites, "Winged Hussars", officially lyrics video.. God bless you, guys, greetings from Germany :)
Love this song. Now you got introduced to these guys. Check out no bullets fly, night witches, Christmas truce, and just keep going with them all their songs are great
Guys, I've seen a historian expert react to this once and he said it's freakishly accurate. The HMS Hood (flagship of the Royal Navy sunk by the Bismarck) looks EXACTLY as it did in reality (seen in your reaction video at 3.20). Also, the old man seen at the beginning and at the end of the video is actually the son of a survivor of the Bismarck, holding the actual compass on which Cpt. Lindemann engraved the coordinates of the last position of the ship. Lindemann was seen standing at attention at the stern as the ship sank. The British sailors on the HMS Dorsetshire managed to save a number of survivors but then they got a submarine alert (to this day it's not clear whether it was a real alarm or a false one, the lookouts spotted something that seemed to be a u-boat that's the only certainty) and sadly they had to flee abandoning the rest in the ocean. Those who were saved later reported that the British sailors treated them like brothers.
there are some who think that the British just used the excuse of a submarine alert as an excuse to not rescue more survivors as a sort of retaliation for the Germans not rescuing more survivors of the Hood, well was something i read somewhere.
Sabaton had 20 year anniversary 2019 as headliner at Wacken. They celebrated by doing both main stages at once half their 2 hour set filling stages with old and present members. Whole set is on YT.😎😈🇧🇻
You are welcome and thank you for doing this. Tommy Johansson is the lead guitarist of this Swedish band and also a singer. If you want to blow your lead singer's mind review YOU RAISE ME UP (1 OCTAVE CHALLANGE) - TOMMY JOHANSSON. The man sings, plays guitar and piano plus has his own band. But, OK...just start with that song. Your bassist just might cry.
Since you liked the guitar solo. That guitarist has his own channel where you can experience his talent as a vocalist and multi intrumentslist. His covers are sick good!
Once you journey down the rabbit hole of Euro-metal, Symphonic Metal, you will never come back to the surface! If you live in America, like me, you quickly realize that you've been missing some of the best music on the planet, at least these days!
Tommy Johansson is not only a great lead guitarist but an amazing singer who has released several solo performances on TH-cam. He also has contributed to some of Floor's songs on her TH-cam channel together with the drummer, Hannes van Dahl who is her husband.
I’m jealous. 2 Fantastic livebands in 1 concert!! Only first day sold out, other concerts tickets available (Do Americans not know these 2 great bands?) in Europe they not tour together. 27 Jan 2023 Epica Amsterdam and Sabaton in may…. My daughter will be happy…..
Its a great video - like watching a mini movie. I love their song about the women pilots Night Witches. :) It's really cool to learn history through music. :)
From Nightwish to Sabaton. I quess that figures - it's Floor's husband on the drums after all. A little correction: Kriegsmarine was the navyof The 3rd reich, not a ship. The 2 German ships that took part in this famous battle were Bismarck, ofcourse, and Prinz Eugen. They sank British flagship HMS Hood in less than 10 minutes. You can see those old scool bi-planes in the video, because all the modern ones were occupied with defending the British airspace and those were the only ones left for the torpedo bombers. That actually turned out to be good, for these old bi-planes were basically soft, canvas-clad targets and German anti-aircraft rounds just tore through them without exploding, so that they could get close and drop the torpedos, that damaged the steering systems on the Bismarck. That was the end for Bismarck, for now it could only go in straight line that took it close to English shores, where she was sank by the Royal Navy. Well, kind of. They bombarded the ship for two days, then germans desided to blow up the sip to not let it to fall into enemy's hands. They say that while sinking, Bismark was red-hot glowing from all the bombardment and was sizzeling.
Welcome to Sabaton ;) as you already know, their songs are based on real events or persons like Bismarck. Since the Band had a gig this week in Nashville TN, may you want to listen to a song about a guy from the south (its not Alabama, but hey!) "82nd all the way". Anyway, every Song tells a story, check them out!
I love how they connect the old battle from WW2 to modern day with the compass, marked with the coordinates of the spot where Bismarck sunk, that the Captain gives to the sailor who then leaves it to his grandson who finds a boat for Sabaton.
You can always count on Sabaton to rock you out and teach you history of wars and revolutions at the same time! And, I have fact checked them a few times, these guys are scholars and hard rockers at the same time!
Considering that Indy, from the Sabaton History channel, is a serious historian with his own channels and occasional appearances on History Channel itself? They have to be.
Another huge rabbit hole. Sabaton do History like no one else. Make sure you take time out for yourselves and your own music! To repeat you guys and your channel are great.
Sabaton and Epica just played Nashville (Oct 3) and Atlanta (Oct 4). You just missed em, unless you want to catch them in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston, or NYC in the next week or so.
Two of my favourite bands are Nightwish and Sabaton. Please continue to react to them but a lot of good metal comes from Finland and Sweden well from the whole Europe so you should listen to more bands from Sweden and Finland. You should react to Wintersun and their song Sons of winter and sun. th-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/w-d-xo.html It's a masterpiece. I think you all will appreciate it but specially Animal. The drummer is Kai Hahto. The latest drummer in Nightwish. 🤓🇸🇪
Floor her husband on the drums :) Sabaton is a great band and their songs are all about history, big battles etc. You have to visit Europe of you can guys. Such a long history and beautiful and so diverse places. Thanks guys!
Sabaton are a good band, and another deep old rabbit hole - their drummer Hannes is married to a certain Ms Floor Jansen, and if you check out their song Christmas Truce (about a real Christmas day truce between the British and German lines in 1914, WW1) you will hear Floor singing the outro 🤘
Thank you for another excellent and thoughtful reaction. Glad you enjoyed Sabaton, their rabbit hole is as deep as Nightwish's. Almost all of Sabaton's songs have fantastic solos by Tommy Johansson (he has a youtube channel that might interest you) and Chris Rorland. As other have probably said, Sabaton covers historical war themes, stressing the valor, sacrifice, and honor of individuals and groups. They do not take sides and do not glorify war, instead focusing on the human aspect. like Nightwish, there is no Sabaton song I have disliked. Their videos tend to be very cinematic and spare no expense. This video was made in cooperation with World of Warships, and they have some made with World of Tanks. Sabaton concerts are high energy and insane. I highly recommend any of the videos from the 2012 Polish Woodstock festival, especially 40:1. Watch 500,000 Poles go nuts. If interested, Sabaton has a history channel where they go deeper into the facts behind the songs. And check out the vlogs of their tours on their channel, lots of fun. Agan, thanks, good luck, God bless, and keep rocking.🤘🤘🤘
This band was cool they sing real history if they played this in school I would of paid attention keep rocking there from sweden floor is married to the drummer
Ah, you're reacting to Sabaton now? Nightwish is of course at the top of my list, but Sabaton is not too far behind. I love their melodies, riffs and storytelling. I first heard of them when I was in Normandy with my family, visiting all the historic D-Day sites. My son told me about this band who sang about the things that happened there. I've been listening to them ever since. I can't wait to go and see them live with my husband and sons, in Amsterdam in May of next year. People have probably already told you about their ties to Nightwish and the song/musicvideo 'Christmas Truce', haven't they? It's a must see and listen! Personally I also really love the song 'En Livstid I Krig' (Live, The Great Tour, Gothenburg). I think you'll like that one too (turn on closed captions for the English translation). Take care, greetings from the Netherlands.
Y'all have such a fun and good reaction. For the guy in the back, he looks like he's having his mind blown and, honestly? Same, my guy, same. Sabaton always bring big sound, military history, and high production. They always play three songs in concert: Ghost Division about Rommel's 7th panzers going through the Ardennes, Primo Victoria (their OG war history song) about D-day, and To Hell and Back about the most decorated American soldier from WW2, Audie Murphey. You should check out lives of those songs. Oh and since you said your drummer complains about setting up his drumkit, he should know that their drummer is always placed on top a tank that shoots pyrotechnics for lives.
Old Metal rock head hear, one of my favorite bands right up there with Nightwish. The present drummer is married to Floor Jansen. There is no other band like Sabaton, the mantra is “ Lest We Forget” Sabaton is not political but sings about the sacrifices heroics of military history around the world. Sabaton has a History channel that explain the history of a lot of their songs. Two animated story videos I recommend because it combines the music and the history behind the songs. The two animated story videos Night Witches, and one of my favorite No Bullets Fly. ( like Nightwish they have no bad songs and my favorite is always the last one Ive listened to. I also recommend Swedish Pagans. If you type in Sabaton , Swedish Pagans, Cello yes the instrument sorry I can’t send you the link but just don’t know how. God Bless Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is a great song from Sabaton. And the drummer Hannes is Floors husband. Pleace listen to ´Christmas truce´ from them its about the firts world war a amazing song also
One of the best music video's ive seen. Hopefully seeing them live in 2023. But i can't wait till then so i'm trying to turn my car into a flying time machine. You guys should check out their other tracks fields of verdun, soldier of heaven, and certainly check metal machine (sabatons very own tribute to metal itself) Also look up born again from beast in black and mannequin show from h.e.a.t.
In the beginning of the Video, you can hear the Radio in the beginning, when the are driving is talking about How the Bismarck have blown the "The might cruiser Hood" This lead to the British Navy got the message that Bismarck must be destroyed at all costs and lead to Battle of The Denmark Strait. The Kriegsmarine was Nazi Germanys Navy. The Video was made with help from the company behind "World of Tanks" that needed some material to their game "World of Warships". And yes Sabaton really played on a boat in the "middle of nowhere".
"From Wiki" (just a short version). Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the ship was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in July 1936 and launched in February 1939. Work was completed in August 1940, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany, and two of the largest built by any European power. In the course of the warship's eight-month career under its sole commanding officer, Captain Ernst Lindemann, Bismarck conducted only one offensive operation, lasting 8 days in May 1941, codenamed Rheinübung. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. The two ships were detected several times off Scandinavia, and British naval units were deployed to block their route. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait, the battlecruiser HMS Hood initially engaged Prinz Eugen, probably by mistake, while HMS Prince of Wales engaged Bismarck. In the ensuing battle Hood was destroyed by the combined fire of Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, which then damaged Prince of Wales and forced her retreat. Bismarck suffered sufficient damage from three hits to force an end to the raiding mission. The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for occupied France to effect repairs, Bismarck was attacked by 16 obsolescent Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, the already-crippled Bismarck was severely damaged during a sustained engagement with two British battleships and two heavy cruisers, was scuttled by her crew, and sank with heavy loss of life. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. The wreck was located in June 1989 by Robert Ballard, and has since been further surveyed by several other expeditions.. You should really check out their History Channel, The have a Historian (Indy Neidell) talking about the story behind their songs, and Indy explains what happen, he is really amazing storyteller and they do have a video about Bismarch and how this Video was made) .
Legend has it that at the start of the video when the band is walking up the stairs you see a pair of legs swinging...thats Floor. Yes her husband is Sabaton's drummer Hannes van Dahl. All of there music is historically / military based throughout time. Christmas Truce is another awesome video of true WW1 event...Bismark was sunk by British navy in 1941.
Hey Souls! Others have provided some context about this fine band...I'll simply add a suggestion - As a crossover from Nighwish 2013, I'll offer an expanded format reaction and suggest you all do a "Wacken 3 Songs" episode with Sabaton. There are 2 or 3 years to choose from, but I think 2019 is a good choice (and you get some Tina Guo to boot!!)... In any case, keep it up and enjoy the ride! rl 🤘👹🤘
Great to see Sabaton on your channel. They do a lot of War songs and tell another side of the story so it's pretty cool. A few songs I like is Chrismas truce during WW1 two enemies stop fighting to play Soccer during Christmas before returning to fighting the singing in the end credits is Floor. The other I love is No bullets fly also based on a true story in the end two enemies become real life friends both enjoyable to watch and hear. Thank you guys.
This band is awesome I wish we had usa band's like this but in America we have have a formula for music.and if no one told you floor's husband is the drummer
I think it's in the TH-cam bi-laws that reactors new to Sabaton must follow Bismarck with The Christmas Truce and the animated story videos for No Bullets Fly, Night Witches, and The Red Baron.
great seeing you guys finding Sabaton; So many amazing songs there. You should definitely check out "christmas truce". first song released from their latest album, about how troops spontaneously stopped fighting on christmas 1914. Amazing video. definitely also check out their collaborations with yarnhub: no bullets fly and night witches. Metal storytelling at its best
there is a companion channel called Sabaton History. they cover the actual history. The battle against the Bismarck was during WWII. All of their current catalog of songs are all about military battles. The Kriegsmarine are the German Navy.
I like your choice of bands to react to and your reactions are interesting, especially as you have your own band. A question for you, do you foresee any of this music you are listening to having an influence on your own music? I also have a few very interesting bands to recommend to you, first - Jinjer a Ukrainian band who are progressive metal; a good start would be Pieces, the Live version. Secondly, Spiritbox again progressive metal, they are Canadian I think - a good starter would be Circle with me (look for the version with the highest views).Finally a Mexican old school rock band of 3 sisters who are still quite young (they have been playing together since the youngest of them was 9!) - a great introduction to them would be their interpretation of Metallica Enter Sandman with Alessia Cara, it’s the first track on the Blacklist album! There are plenty more I could suggest but that’s enough to start with! Good luck with your channel, you have a lot going for it!
Thank you to World of Warships for creating the amazing battle scene for this video. All the ships and fighting were created using CGI, then used Live Action actors placed into the scene. This is just one example of some of World of Warship's amazing battle scenes they can make. BTW- World of Warships is a free to play warship game. You can see more of the Bismarck in their mini documentary too called Naval Legends. th-cam.com/video/7K9BJhlt0zo/w-d-xo.html
The thing about "the planes had props on them" is that those planes were leftovers from WWI that needed to still be used on WWII for a few reasons (they could take off from short runway aircraft carriers, Britain needed to press all available planes into battle where they could). They got a lucky hit on the Bismarck and it started leaking oil. So as it tried to flee to a friendly port to repair, the British Royal Navy was able to track it, even in sometimes unfavorable conditions. In the end, the German crew scuttled their own ship to prevent the British from being able to capture it and get ahold of some of the advance technology that had gone into the ship's construction as well as things like code machines and whatnot.
You have soo many songs to listen to. En livstid i krig (live in Gothenborg), Dreadnought, Race to the sea, Soldier of heaven, The last stand, The unkillable soldier and many more.
Fyi...a sabaton is a medieval, flexible armour shoe. The captain of the fishingboat is the grandson of the drowning man. Next please "No bullets fly", a very emotional WWII story of an American B17 bomber pilot an a German fighter pilot. th-cam.com/video/dsIO-3genY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much for the wonderful reaction to this wonderful song.👍👏 I would like to see and know your opinion on the song of the Sabaton group - Dreadnought, this is a song from the new album, and it is a good successor to the Bismarck song, it also has a powerful chorus and a great and more unusual solo, you will like it very much🔥🤟
Yes they all tell good stories that's a good song the stories with the great musicians tommy Johansson he's one a little chunky but he's got so much talent as musician he plays different instruments good at all of them but he has one of the most beautiful male voices around he's goofy in a good way all these bands know one another God bless
This battle in WW2 was historic. Sabaton picked this story up and made a absolute astonising video of it. If you interested in what happend and how it ended watch this video: th-cam.com/video/IY5wMcqZI8c/w-d-xo.html. It's an absolute crime with a very bad ending.
Tell Animal, Floors Husband di plant his 35 Piece Drumset on this Boat(even only for Show:D) so he should stop complaining ands eat more Cookies;)= Nice Recap:) if you really get Hands on Possibility to see Sabaton, imho even above Epica, you should give it an Go,spend this money one Time, when you get the Chance. We got it easier here in Europe, i know, we got em Here almost every Year in germany on the Festivals or Tour. This guys set up an Epic Show, including very good Live Performing of their Songs. Stay healthy NWA BAvaria North
th-cam.com/video/qMmesvnnxE0/w-d-xo.html Just give it an try, its live From Nashville auditorium handy Vid , cut together, not really good sound, but nice watch , how they perform. they really put the audience into the SHow:)
all of their songs are military history they also have a history channel sabaton history ... also they have a song called devil dogs about the marines in ww1
Thank you for your reaction !! I totaly reccomand you to watch the official video of "TO HELL AND BACK" which is about Audie Murphy (most decorated soldier of US) and PTSD
"Kriegsmarine" is not another ship name, it literaly means "war-navy" which was the name of the German navy in WW2 when this happened. The Bismarck was a huge warship that, as you can hear in the radio broadcast they used in the intro, sank the British battlecruiser Hood. The Bismarck only ever did one tour as it was such a prestigious and dangerous target that the allies put everything they had available into hunting it down and making sure it was dealt with.
I'm sure someone has already suggested it but I'll suggest their song "Night Witches", the animated story video especially since it's not only the song but also gives a lot of information about the military unit this song is about.
Thank you. We'll check it out.
Kriegsmarine is just the ww2 german name for their navy. as another example the Italian navy was called Regia Marina
Sabaton songs are all based on war history and they have their own history channel on You Tube explaining their songs. They tell the stories from a neutral perspective . Try En Livstid I Krig live in Gothenburg which is about the 30 year war in the 1700s. An emotional song and one to watch with the lyrics !
I concuuuuurr 🥰🥰
En Livstid I Krig live in Gothenburg mustsee, especially for bands :) "Christmace truce" for producers :)

So happy you found another rabbit hole to explore. I love this band. I am not making any suggestions because I love ALL their music. A lot of people will mention, as I’m doing now, that the drummer Hannes van Dahl, is Floor’s husband 😂.
The guy that did the guitar solo is Tommy Johansson, he is a multi instrumentalist and has a amazing voice with an incredible range. He also did some music for Floor’s solo work, witch you will love to explore I guess. The history channel of Sabaton is also really great, they make music of historical war events and are always dressed in the same camouflage. I hope Animal is okay , missed him for a couple of videos. Love you, keep them coming. 🤘🫶🇳🇱

Nice reaction. I suggest for the next one "Christmas Truce" about a real history during the WW1. Great song, great video, and a finale with Floor.

Absolutely!!!

Christmas Truce is one of their most beloved videos, and had Floor singing the outro..it's not unusual for the entire crowd to to sing there entire song with them all the way thru...En Livsted I Krig in Swedish with subtitle lyrics in particular draws in ne Sabaton fans

I saw sabaton and epica in concert 3 weeks ago. Both bands were great!
2nd comment try. Lead singer Joakin Broden doesn't have a huge range, but uses every bit of what he does have. He and bassist Par Sundstrom are the primary songwriters and only origiinal members still there. Chris Rorland and Tommy Johansson on guitar, Hannes van Dahl on drums is the current lineup.
The name painted on the boat they went out on ,Primo Victoria, is the name of their 1st album, the title track is about D-Day.
The video graphics are so good because it was made in conjunction with Wargaming, the company that makes the World of Warships game.
For moe try Christmad Truce, Ghost Division, 40:1, Soldier of Heaven, or the animated story videos for No Bullets Fly and Night Witches.
And of course, Joakim, with his wonderful sense of humor, has joked during interviews that he originally came into Sabaton as the keyboardist, but since he was also the best singer out of the original bunch, they asked him to sing, "until they could find a proper vocalist. Fifteen years later and they still haven't found anyone, the lazy bastards!" 🤣
@@MsCatstaff "But, I'm the keyboardist. No, You're the singer. %^&* " 🤣
Sabaton: a bunch of Swedish history teachers that got together and said, "Hey, let's form a metal band...we'll reach a wider audience!"
Oh you gonna like this, btw the singer is a total beast when they perform live... Even just watching him feels like a workout 😂 Kriegsmarine was the name of the german navy in ww2
So many good songs from these guys. They specialise in historical events, usually something to do with wars through the ages.
They also have the Sabaton History channel which explains the history behind their songs.
Should also check out their guitarists channel. Tommy Johannson. He has a killer voice and truck loads of talent.
Bismarck was sunk during the Second World War
Well said, truck loads of talent. Tommy is a rabbit hole on his own
Agreed love Tommy
Their current concert tour is with Epica throughout North America. They were at the Ryman in Nashville last week. I'm heading to the one in Philly next week. I can't wait!
You need to watch 40:1 live at Woodstock in Poland. Over 400,000 people were in the audience.
I concur
I think this is not enough...
Sabaton is simply the best way to learn history. I agree with what has been suggested so far, Sabaton is one huge rabbit hole. Also check out Tommy Johansson, Sabaton guitarist, who is also a frontman in his own band, Majestica, and releases new cover on his channel every week. I recommend his covers Who wants to live forever (Queen) and She's gone (Steelheart) for start
Great reaction . Please react sabaton ,,christmas truce,, That"s a 8.39 min. masterpiece with Floor Jansen in the last 2 min. (greetings from nightwish fan) .
I concur
I concur
I concur.
@@MsCatstaff I am concerned. Is Eric ok have not seen anything from the Wildside in days.☹️🤔
I concur
Great reaction ya'll. Its a shame you dont find music like this in USA.. So many good bands from other countries. You should try " Song of myself" from the Wacken concert by NIGHTWISH.
I concur
Just stumbled across you guys during my random searches for new Sabaton reactions.. welcome to a HUGE rabbithole and the world of my favourite band for about 20 years, now.. let me say, I liked your way to approach this, a lot, you definitely deserve a subscription, and I hope for many more reactions to my favourite guys from Sweden... if I may make further suggestions, to cover a widespread impression of their capabilities and developement... "Ghost Division", live at Woodstock, Poland.... "Red Baron" live in Munich.... "En livstid I krig", live in Gothenburg.... "Cliffs of Gallipoli".. "Hearts of Iron", lyrics video.... and one of my all time favourites, "Winged Hussars", officially lyrics video.. God bless you, guys, greetings from Germany :)
the drummer Hannes van Dahl is married to Floor Jansen from Nightwish they are good but, I'm more a Nightwish fan.
Love this song. Now you got introduced to these guys. Check out no bullets fly, night witches, Christmas truce, and just keep going with them all their songs are great
For No bullets fly, Night witches and Red Baron make sure to choose the animated story videos made in Collab with Yarnhub.
You should checkout "Sabaton - En livstid i krig live from gothenburg", the emotions are strong in that performance.
Their song Christmas Truce is amazing as well.
Guys, I've seen a historian expert react to this once and he said it's freakishly accurate. The HMS Hood (flagship of the Royal Navy sunk by the Bismarck) looks EXACTLY as it did in reality (seen in your reaction video at 3.20). Also, the old man seen at the beginning and at the end of the video is actually the son of a survivor of the Bismarck, holding the actual compass on which Cpt. Lindemann engraved the coordinates of the last position of the ship. Lindemann was seen standing at attention at the stern as the ship sank. The British sailors on the HMS Dorsetshire managed to save a number of survivors but then they got a submarine alert (to this day it's not clear whether it was a real alarm or a false one, the lookouts spotted something that seemed to be a u-boat that's the only certainty) and sadly they had to flee abandoning the rest in the ocean. Those who were saved later reported that the British sailors treated them like brothers.
Wow! What a story. Thank you for that.
there are some who think that the British just used the excuse of a submarine alert as an excuse to not rescue more survivors as a sort of retaliation for the Germans not rescuing more survivors of the Hood, well was something i read somewhere.
@@michaelcavanagh1419 it is a theory yes and a plausible one too. I guess we'll never know for sure.
Sabaton had 20 year anniversary 2019 as headliner at Wacken. They celebrated by doing both main stages at once half their 2 hour set filling stages with old and present members. Whole set is on YT.😎😈🇧🇻
You are welcome and thank you for doing this. Tommy Johansson is the lead guitarist of this Swedish band and also a singer. If you want to blow your lead singer's mind review YOU RAISE ME UP (1 OCTAVE CHALLANGE) - TOMMY JOHANSSON. The man sings, plays guitar and piano plus has his own band. But, OK...just start with that song. Your bassist just might cry.
Since you liked the guitar solo. That guitarist has his own channel where you can experience his talent as a vocalist and multi intrumentslist. His covers are sick good!
Here’s his cover on Journey’s Separate ways th-cam.com/video/DsfW5ZwCddE/w-d-xo.html
Once you journey down the rabbit hole of Euro-metal, Symphonic Metal, you will never come back to the surface! If you live in America, like me, you quickly realize that you've been missing some of the best music on the planet, at least these days!
Tommy Johansson is not only a great lead guitarist but an amazing singer who has released several solo performances on TH-cam. He also has contributed to some of Floor's songs on her TH-cam channel together with the drummer, Hannes van Dahl who is her husband.
I’m jealous. 2 Fantastic livebands in 1 concert!! Only first day sold out, other concerts tickets available (Do Americans not know these 2 great bands?) in Europe they not tour together. 27 Jan 2023 Epica Amsterdam and Sabaton in may…. My daughter will be happy…..
Its a great video - like watching a mini movie.
I love their song about the women pilots Night Witches. :)
It's really cool to learn history through music. :)
Deepdiving into the rabbithole of Sabaton will definitely make you learn a lot more of history.
As far as the tour, yes. I saw them in Nashville on Oct 3, 2022. Great show. First time they Ryman ever had a tank on stage...
From Nightwish to Sabaton. I quess that figures - it's Floor's husband on the drums after all.
A little correction: Kriegsmarine was the navyof The 3rd reich, not a ship. The 2 German ships that took part in this famous battle were Bismarck, ofcourse, and Prinz Eugen. They sank British flagship HMS Hood in less than 10 minutes. You can see those old scool bi-planes in the video, because all the modern ones were occupied with defending the British airspace and those were the only ones left for the torpedo bombers. That actually turned out to be good, for these old bi-planes were basically soft, canvas-clad targets and German anti-aircraft rounds just tore through them without exploding, so that they could get close and drop the torpedos, that damaged the steering systems on the Bismarck. That was the end for Bismarck, for now it could only go in straight line that took it close to English shores, where she was sank by the Royal Navy. Well, kind of. They bombarded the ship for two days, then germans desided to blow up the sip to not let it to fall into enemy's hands. They say that while sinking, Bismark was red-hot glowing from all the bombardment and was sizzeling.
Welcome to Sabaton ;) as you already know, their songs are based on real events or persons like Bismarck. Since the Band had a gig this week in Nashville TN, may you want to listen to a song about a guy from the south (its not Alabama, but hey!) "82nd all the way". Anyway, every Song tells a story, check them out!
I love how they connect the old battle from WW2 to modern day with the compass, marked with the coordinates of the spot where Bismarck sunk, that the Captain gives to the sailor who then leaves it to his grandson who finds a boat for Sabaton.
You can always count on Sabaton to rock you out and teach you history of wars and revolutions at the same time! And, I have fact checked them a few times, these guys are scholars and hard rockers at the same time!
Considering that Indy, from the Sabaton History channel, is a serious historian with his own channels and occasional appearances on History Channel itself? They have to be.
@@leechowning2712 No wonder! I did not know that. Makes sense.
Another huge rabbit hole. Sabaton do History like no one else. Make sure you take time out for yourselves and your own music! To repeat you guys and your channel are great.
Sabaton and Epica just played Nashville (Oct 3) and Atlanta (Oct 4). You just missed em, unless you want to catch them in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston, or NYC in the next week or so.
They have just played in Atlanta Georgia, GA I believe.
Two of my favourite bands are Nightwish and Sabaton. Please continue to react to them but a lot of good metal comes from Finland and Sweden well from the whole Europe so you should listen to more bands from Sweden and Finland. You should react to Wintersun and their song Sons of winter and sun. th-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/w-d-xo.html It's a masterpiece. I think you all will appreciate it but specially Animal. The drummer is Kai Hahto. The latest drummer in Nightwish.
🤓🇸🇪
Floor her husband on the drums :) Sabaton is a great band and their songs are all about history, big battles etc. You have to visit Europe of you can guys. Such a long history and beautiful and so diverse places. Thanks guys!
Sabaton are a good band, and another deep old rabbit hole - their drummer Hannes is married to a certain Ms Floor Jansen, and if you check out their song Christmas Truce (about a real Christmas day truce between the British and German lines in 1914, WW1) you will hear Floor singing the outro 🤘
Thanks guys for discovering another great band! In case I'm the first to mention this, the drummer is Floor's husband and father of their daughter. 👍💖
Thank you for another excellent and thoughtful reaction. Glad you enjoyed Sabaton, their rabbit hole is as deep as Nightwish's. Almost all of Sabaton's songs have fantastic solos by Tommy Johansson (he has a youtube channel that might interest you) and Chris Rorland. As other have probably said, Sabaton covers historical war themes, stressing the valor, sacrifice, and honor of individuals and groups. They do not take sides and do not glorify war, instead focusing on the human aspect. like Nightwish, there is no Sabaton song I have disliked. Their videos tend to be very cinematic and spare no expense. This video was made in cooperation with World of Warships, and they have some made with World of Tanks. Sabaton concerts are high energy and insane. I highly recommend any of the videos from the 2012 Polish Woodstock festival, especially 40:1. Watch 500,000 Poles go nuts. If interested, Sabaton has a history channel where they go deeper into the facts behind the songs. And check out the vlogs of their tours on their channel, lots of fun. Agan, thanks, good luck, God bless, and keep rocking.🤘🤘🤘
Nice deepdive in commenting #Alan Carter
@@miafranlund6982 T'anks...(see what I did there lol)
@@alancarter41 I saw...and appreciate it😁
This band was cool they sing real history if they played this in school I would of paid attention keep rocking there from sweden floor is married to the drummer
Welcome to the Sabaton rabbit hole. Strap in and get ready for one hell of a ride. Just pick any song they are all fantastic. ENJOY.
Ah, you're reacting to Sabaton now? Nightwish is of course at the top of my list, but Sabaton is not too far behind. I love their melodies, riffs and storytelling. I first heard of them when I was in Normandy with my family, visiting all the historic D-Day sites. My son told me about this band who sang about the things that happened there. I've been listening to them ever since. I can't wait to go and see them live with my husband and sons, in Amsterdam in May of next year.
People have probably already told you about their ties to Nightwish and the song/musicvideo 'Christmas Truce', haven't they? It's a must see and listen! Personally I also really love the song 'En Livstid I Krig' (Live, The Great Tour, Gothenburg). I think you'll like that one too (turn on closed captions for the English translation). Take care, greetings from the Netherlands.
Amazing band - Epic songs!!!!
🇬🇧 Norfolk ,History with a beat
Y'all have such a fun and good reaction. For the guy in the back, he looks like he's having his mind blown and, honestly? Same, my guy, same.
Sabaton always bring big sound, military history, and high production. They always play three songs in concert: Ghost Division about Rommel's 7th panzers going through the Ardennes, Primo Victoria (their OG war history song) about D-day, and To Hell and Back about the most decorated American soldier from WW2, Audie Murphey. You should check out lives of those songs.
Oh and since you said your drummer complains about setting up his drumkit, he should know that their drummer is always placed on top a tank that shoots pyrotechnics for lives.
I went to the concert in AZ. They were absolutely amazing!!!! Great video
So cool!
The battle of the Atlantic was during the Second World War
It was the single longest battle of the whole war !
Old Metal rock head hear, one of my favorite bands right up there with Nightwish. The present drummer is married to Floor Jansen. There is no other band like Sabaton, the mantra is “ Lest We Forget” Sabaton is not political but sings about the sacrifices heroics of military history around the world. Sabaton has a History channel that explain the history of a lot of their songs. Two animated story videos I recommend because it combines the music and the history behind the songs. The two animated story videos Night Witches, and one of my favorite No Bullets Fly. ( like Nightwish they have no bad songs and my favorite is always the last one Ive listened to. I also recommend Swedish Pagans. If you type in Sabaton , Swedish Pagans, Cello yes the instrument sorry I can’t send you the link but just don’t know how. God Bless Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
These guys got me so interested in learning more about the battles in history. Love them!
This is a great song from Sabaton. And the drummer Hannes is Floors husband. Pleace listen to ´Christmas truce´ from them its about the firts world war a amazing song also
Can't wait.
One of the best music video's ive seen. Hopefully seeing them live in 2023. But i can't wait till then so i'm trying to turn my car into a flying time machine.
You guys should check out their other tracks fields of verdun, soldier of heaven, and certainly check metal machine (sabatons very own tribute to metal itself)
Also look up born again from beast in black and mannequin show from h.e.a.t.
Good reaction. A video you may enjoy is Steve Via playing the Hydra Guitar live were he shows he is the GOAT
Welcome to the sabaton rabit hole! all their songs are absolutely bangers with epic guitars & storytelling. peace & love from belgium. keep it up!
In the beginning of the Video, you can hear the Radio in the beginning, when the are driving is talking about How the Bismarck have blown the "The might cruiser Hood"
This lead to the British Navy got the message that Bismarck must be destroyed at all costs and lead to Battle of The Denmark Strait.
The Kriegsmarine was Nazi Germanys Navy.
The Video was made with help from the company behind "World of Tanks" that needed some material to their game "World of Warships". And yes Sabaton really played on a boat in the "middle of nowhere".
"From Wiki"
(just a short version).
Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the ship was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in July 1936 and launched in February 1939. Work was completed in August 1940, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany, and two of the largest built by any European power.
In the course of the warship's eight-month career under its sole commanding officer, Captain Ernst Lindemann, Bismarck conducted only one offensive operation, lasting 8 days in May 1941, codenamed Rheinübung. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. The two ships were detected several times off Scandinavia, and British naval units were deployed to block their route. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait, the battlecruiser HMS Hood initially engaged Prinz Eugen, probably by mistake, while HMS Prince of Wales engaged Bismarck. In the ensuing battle Hood was destroyed by the combined fire of Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, which then damaged Prince of Wales and forced her retreat. Bismarck suffered sufficient damage from three hits to force an end to the raiding mission.
The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for occupied France to effect repairs, Bismarck was attacked by 16 obsolescent Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, the already-crippled Bismarck was severely damaged during a sustained engagement with two British battleships and two heavy cruisers, was scuttled by her crew, and sank with heavy loss of life. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. The wreck was located in June 1989 by Robert Ballard, and has since been further surveyed by several other expeditions..
You should really check out their History Channel, The have a Historian (Indy Neidell) talking about the story behind their songs, and Indy explains what happen, he is really amazing storyteller and they do have a video about Bismarch and how this Video was made)
.
Every time I see them paint the name Primo Victoria on the boat I smile. That's the name of their first album and first hit.
Their songs about finnish-russian relationship, "Winter war" and "White death".
That initial smile i see from new sabaton viewers is my drug, i fucking love it
React to Sabathon - En Livestid i Krig live in Gotenburg, you will get goosebumps on your goosebumps, cheers from the Netherlands!
Legend has it that at the start of the video when the band is walking up the stairs you see a pair of legs swinging...thats Floor.
Yes her husband is Sabaton's drummer Hannes van Dahl. All of there music is historically / military based throughout time.
Christmas Truce is another awesome video of true WW1 event...Bismark was sunk by British navy in 1941.
Sabaton has videos that are fantastic but also emotional. They have also a lot of livevideos that are great. Next Christmas truce music video
Hey Souls!
Others have provided some context about this fine band...I'll simply add a suggestion -
As a crossover from Nighwish 2013, I'll offer an expanded format reaction and suggest you all do a "Wacken 3 Songs" episode with Sabaton. There are 2 or 3 years to choose from, but I think 2019 is a good choice (and you get some Tina Guo to boot!!)...
In any case, keep it up and enjoy the ride!
rl
🤘👹🤘
You may have noticed Mr. Floor Jansen... erm... Hannes Van Dahl banging on the drums on top of everyone else. :)
Great to see Sabaton on your channel. They do a lot of War songs and tell another side of the story so it's pretty cool. A few songs I like is Chrismas truce during WW1 two enemies stop fighting to play Soccer during Christmas before returning to fighting the singing in the end credits is Floor. The other I love is No bullets fly also based on a true story in the end two enemies become real life friends both enjoyable to watch and hear. Thank you guys.
This band is awesome I wish we had usa band's like this but in America we have have a formula for music.and if no one told you floor's husband is the drummer
I think it's in the TH-cam bi-laws that reactors new to Sabaton must follow Bismarck with The Christmas Truce and the animated story videos for No Bullets Fly, Night Witches, and The Red Baron.
great seeing you guys finding Sabaton; So many amazing songs there. You should definitely check out "christmas truce". first song released from their latest album, about how troops spontaneously stopped fighting on christmas 1914. Amazing video. definitely also check out their collaborations with yarnhub: no bullets fly and night witches. Metal storytelling at its best
The babyfaced guitarist (Tommy) got another band, Majestica, My friend plays guitar there :) so check out Majestica - Metal United :)
The history of Bismarck, explained by Sabaton:
Bismarck - Battle of the Atlantic - Sabaton History 012 [Official]
One of our neighbors who died years ago was a surviver of the Bismarck. He was pretty miserable the rest of his days. Poor soul.😥
there is a companion channel called Sabaton History. they cover the actual history.
The battle against the Bismarck was during WWII.
All of their current catalog of songs are all about military battles.
The Kriegsmarine are the German Navy.
Minneapolis 13th,
Chicago 15th,
Pittsburgh 17th,
Philadelphia 18th
Boston
Manhattan
This band has a connection with Nightwish.. Their drummer Hannes Van Dahl is married to Nightwish's singer Floor Jansen... :)
Within temptation and iron maiden are also touring now in the states
Yes!! another Amazing Band.🤘😎🤘
I like your choice of bands to react to and your reactions are interesting, especially as you have your own band.
A question for you, do you foresee any of this music you are listening to having an influence on your own music?
I also have a few very interesting bands to recommend to you, first - Jinjer a Ukrainian band who are progressive metal; a good start would be Pieces, the Live version. Secondly, Spiritbox again progressive metal, they are Canadian I think - a good starter would be Circle with me (look for the version with the highest views).Finally a Mexican old school rock band of 3 sisters who are still quite young (they have been playing together since the youngest of them was 9!) - a great introduction to them would be their interpretation of Metallica Enter Sandman with Alessia Cara, it’s the first track on the Blacklist album! There are plenty more I could suggest but that’s enough to start with! Good luck with your channel, you have a lot going for it!
Thank you to World of Warships for creating the amazing battle scene for this video. All the ships and fighting were created using CGI, then used Live Action actors placed into the scene. This is just one example of some of World of Warship's amazing battle scenes they can make. BTW- World of Warships is a free to play warship game. You can see more of the Bismarck in their mini documentary too called Naval Legends. th-cam.com/video/7K9BJhlt0zo/w-d-xo.html
The thing about "the planes had props on them" is that those planes were leftovers from WWI that needed to still be used on WWII for a few reasons (they could take off from short runway aircraft carriers, Britain needed to press all available planes into battle where they could). They got a lucky hit on the Bismarck and it started leaking oil. So as it tried to flee to a friendly port to repair, the British Royal Navy was able to track it, even in sometimes unfavorable conditions. In the end, the German crew scuttled their own ship to prevent the British from being able to capture it and get ahold of some of the advance technology that had gone into the ship's construction as well as things like code machines and whatnot.
You have soo many songs to listen to. En livstid i krig (live in Gothenborg), Dreadnought, Race to the sea, Soldier of heaven, The last stand, The unkillable soldier and many more.
Fyi...a sabaton is a medieval, flexible armour shoe. The captain of the fishingboat is the grandson of the drowning man.
Next please "No bullets fly", a very emotional WWII story of an American B17 bomber pilot an a German fighter pilot. th-cam.com/video/dsIO-3genY/w-d-xo.html
Loved the reaction guys worth checking out Soldier of Heaven and The Unkillable Soldier.
When the Bismarck emerges from the fog…THAT was bad ass…
The drummer in Sabaton Hannes Van Dahl, is mariied to floor jansen in Nightwish
Wintersun. Sons of winter and stars.
Thank you very much for the wonderful reaction to this wonderful song.👍👏 I would like to see and know your opinion on the song of the Sabaton group - Dreadnought, this is a song from the new album, and it is a good successor to the Bismarck song, it also has a powerful chorus and a great and more unusual solo, you will like it very much🔥🤟
request...sabaton: no bullets fly....YOU will love it
Sabaton has a hitorical accuraty over any band in their sogs . metal history lessons.
Yes they all tell good stories that's a good song the stories with the great musicians tommy Johansson he's one a little chunky but he's got so much talent as musician he plays different instruments good at all of them but he has one of the most beautiful male voices around he's goofy in a good way all these bands know one another God bless
Tommy Johansson is also active with some amazing coverversions, especially: you raise me up! One octave challenge, is a bit disturbing 😄😄
Her's the link 😄😄th-cam.com/video/zoGJ7mxNq0M/w-d-xo.html
This battle in WW2 was historic. Sabaton picked this story up and made a absolute astonising video of it. If you interested in what happend and how it ended watch this video: th-cam.com/video/IY5wMcqZI8c/w-d-xo.html. It's an absolute crime with a very bad ending.
Tell Animal, Floors Husband di plant his 35 Piece Drumset on this Boat(even only for Show:D) so he should stop complaining ands eat more Cookies;)=
Nice Recap:) if you really get Hands on Possibility to see Sabaton, imho even above Epica, you should give it an Go,spend this money one Time, when you get the Chance. We got it easier here in Europe, i know, we got em Here almost every Year in germany on the Festivals or Tour.
This guys set up an Epic Show, including very good Live Performing of their Songs.
Stay healthy
