White Friday occurred during the Italian Front of World War I in 1916, when an avalanche struck Austro-Hungarian barracks on Mount Marmolada, killing 270 soldiers. Other avalanches the same day struck Italian and other Austro-Hungarian positions, killing hundreds. According to some reports both sides deliberately fired shells into the weakened snowpacks in an attempt to bury the other side. An accurate estimation of the number of casualties from the White Friday avalanches is not available. Historical documents suggest at least 2,000 victims among the soldiers and a few dozens among civilians. The date 13 December, marked Saint Lucia, a commemorative religious holiday practiced by the majority of Italian Catholics. Though the occurrence of avalanches in the Dolomites Mountains took place on a Wednesday in 1916, the term "White Friday" was used to coin the disastrous day.
And to add a little more information, the bodies can still be found to this day. And during Septemper (2014), two bodies were recovered, one man supposed to be aged 17 and another man aged 18, both blonde and blue eyed, with bullet holes in their heads.
The story "No Bullets Fly" is so strong that I always want to cry with him, a lot of mixed feelings about such a terrible war, there was a place for compassion, pride and resistance. And the fact that after the war was looking for them were not found and were the best friends ... incredibly strong and inspiring
Excellent reaction. I loved the '80's synth vibe in this song. Chris Roland was involved in writing the music for this song (as well as Joakim as usual) while Par wrote the lyrics. An epic ode to those who never came home. RIP warriors, you are missed and appreciated.
The soldiers from this battle remain frozen. Forever on watch and at post. To this day. Remnants of dead empires and forgotten kingdoms. Sabaton is one of the few bands that can capture the essence of that in music and video. Most bands would never even consider touching a subject like this. And its unfortunate. But sabaton keeps consistently capturing the essence of these stories so its great we atleast have them
As a bit of added detail, the line "I saw the end of war" is a reference to a quote from George Santayana, a Spanish philosopher and poet from the late 1800s. In a line often misattributed to Plato, he observed that "only the dead have seen the end of war."
Blood mountain was a series of battles that took place on Col Di Lana summit that took the lives of tens of thousands. Originally Blood mountain was held by a unit of the German Alpenkorp who were defeated by an Italian attack force. But the Italians took heavy casualties and were pushed back by the Austrians. The Italians eventually took blood mountain by mining out the mountain and planting thousands kilos of nitro gelatin and detonating it. The crater in the side of the mountain still remains, a grim remainder of the deaths on the mountain. Like most of the mountains, it is beautiful.
I’ve heard every single time when soldier’s have come home or soldier’s from ww2 are considered hero’s they always say we are not hero’s it’s those who didn’t come home who are the real hero’s - and I say amen to that! And may there soul’s RIP.
Bro I'm in Germany I rushed trough ww1 in literally 45 mins. It was insane. Like we learned basically nothing. Tho this was most likely due to teacher shortages etc
@@tobiasworner4970 Hello from the USA & thanks for your remark. Very interesting. Many in USA believe European education is better. Also, that most nations naturally concentrate on their own history (good & bad). In USA, we lack WW1 education as it isn't viewed as "US centric." In Europe, WW1 vets are the Lost Generation. In US, they're the Forgotten Generation. Also, WW1 (though interesting to learn about) didn't "solve" anything. Also, the Great Depression & World War 2 cast big shadows. USA became a global power after Spanish/American War, but became global power (we know today) as result of WW2. With the "culture war" here & our educational system (& those in it) politically not always thought of as the most patriotic Americans. That said, it's a generalization. Most American school teachers are hardworking, dedicated professionals with difficult jobs (I'm sure same can be said for German schoolteachers). But, bound by their curriculums. Blaming teachers is like "shooting the messenger." Safe to say many western nations have a lot of issues now. We all need to get our own houses in order & stick together. The past is the past. But, only fools don't learn about & from history. Germany & USA have solid relationship now. Continuing that is to our mutual benefit.
We didn't show up in WW1 till 1917-1918. Which may have a lot to do with the lack of coverage. But we where heavily involved in Korea and Vietnam and when I was in school barely cover that.
The final solution by Sabaton always gets me. I visited Auschwitz, Poland, in 2008 and it was the most harrowing place ive ever visited in my life. Much love from England 🤟
16:23 During both World Wars, but especially the first, fighting in the Alps was relentless and had its own horrors. Instead of the mud of the Western Front the troops of all armies endured intense cold, snow & high winds for months on end - only trips into the vallys allowed them to enjoy any warmth due to the nature of their inadequate clothing and poor rations. Man-made and natural avalanches plus the relentless height induced conditions on top of the viscious fighting killed literally thousands. Many casualties, either whole or dismembered disappeared into the mountain's crevasses and snow blankets and whilst many were recovered at the time they are still reappearing to this day. The horror of the muddy trenches was replaced by blood stained snow which dissapeared quickly to hide the spectacle of lost comrades leaving constant fear of both nature and the enemy.
“Lest We Forget” is the mantra of Sabaton they are not political but sing about the heroic’s sacrifices of battles past & present. Check out their Sabaton History channel. It’s amazing and really well done. God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The Alpine Front was especially brutal and miserable. I simply cannot imagine fighting in the places those men fought. Absolutely tough and courageous people.
About the confusion, should you be happy or sad when listening to Sabaton? Well, they are extremely good at that. :) Their masterpiece in that regard is of course "En livstid i krig" that you have already seen. A lot of laughmixed crying in that one. :) But if you (for once) don't want to be confused, you should listen to "Price of a mile." One of my absolute favourites, and one where you are lead into one single emotion right from the first note and there it stays, just growing and growing for the reminder of the song.
You should check out the animated shorts Sabaton has made for some of their songs. They give a short background to the songs before the music kicks off.
The Last Stand is my favorite song by Sabaton but this is my favorite Historical song by them. It hits hard. The ones who don't come home are heroes, as well as the ones who tell their stories when they come home.
Hello Stacey! Ive been checking out your rocknroll reactions, and i really think you would love The doors! Such a great band, it has everything Love from México ❤
"I can't help but think that this song "Soldier Of Heaven" is about "Aries" the god of war, on his mountain watching the battles below through out the world and time!"
I love sabaton's content and music, congrats on finding them. I'm a bit of a history buff myself, and if you like history in music, you might want to check out Al Stewart, who was doing history in his songs long before Sabaton. Songs like "Roads to Moscow", "Always the Cause", "Old Admirals", "Trains" and many more. Not Metal, closer to Folk Rock, but he's a true lyricist.
Some historical suggestions from Iron Maiden would be "The Trooper, " which is based on the charge of the light brigade during the battle of Balaclava in the Crimean war; "Paschendale, " which is based on the third battle of Ypres during WWI (the live Death on the Road version); & "The Longest Day, " based on the D-day landing during WWII.
One of the best parts of Sabaton is like you said, you kinda don't know how to react.. They sing highly of war but the subtextual and contextual lyrics are about awfulness of war.. so if you like 'em you like the band's music you do 'kinda' like war but also understand the toll it has.. hence you enjoy the heroism of some.. you wouldn't want war but you appreciate wars that has happened and sacrifices ppl have made. Sabaton for purpose, won't glamorize war, but they will speak about heroism.
Adding on to the info ppl are giving about white friday. The "frozen in time" is acctually true, soldiers are still being found where White friday took place.
Most history books tend to ignore what happened on the Austro-hungarian fronts because they were the ones that started the war and were bogged down in trenches for most of it
I look at it this way. After over 100 years there names might not be known but they will live on forever because of there sacrifice.Have you heard of the 300 spartans and the battle of Thermopylae?It happened in 480 BC and we still know about it! Its almost 2500 years later and we still know that it happed. We may not know there names but a part of of them will live forever thru history.
When you love both Sabaton and the 80's you should react to First Soldier. What to do while listening to Sabaton bawl your eyes out and rock along, while belting out the lyrics.
Need to check out lead guitarest for Sabaton he has his own Utube channel. Check out Tommy Johansson ( Empty Room ) Gary Moore cover. Don't do the solo version but do the other. You will love him. He post a new video every Friday.
If you like songs that tell the story, there are plenty of metal bands that do that. If you want to know something new that you've never heard before, I might suggest Eluveitie. Swiss group that tells the story of the Celtic resistance to the invasion of the Roman Empire. I recommend you start with the intro "Otherworld" and the following title track "Every thing remains (as it never was)". I am a great lover of music and of those who want to know her. Always with great affection from Italy, your number 1 fan.❤❤❤
Oh and the big guy with the guitar is no longer a part of Sabaton as of last friday. He wants to focus on his own band and his own career. Usually I would be sad about this but in Tommy's case it is probably the he could do cause he is most definetly one of the biggest talents in metal right now. So please give Majestica a listen.
@@StaceyRPGReacts Check out his TH-cam channel where he covers rock & pop songs from the 70's and 80's. Ever heard ABBA but metal? That's the spirit of his channel.
a little off topic but the worst landslide was The 1970 Huascarán Debris Avalanche occurred on May 31, 1970, when a debris avalanche and mudflow triggered by the Ancash earthquake destroyed the Peruvian town of Yungay and ten nearby villages, leaving up to 30,000 people dead.[1] It is the deadliest avalanche or glacier-related disaster in history,[2][3]: 16 and the third or fourth most deadly landslide-related disaster of the 20th century, after the Haiyuan landslides (China), the Armero tragedy (Colombia) and by some estimates the Khait landslide (Tajikistan).[4] The north peak of Huascarán from which the avalanche originated had been considered unstable since 1962, when a smaller collapse wiped out several villages of the Callejón de Huaylas valley near Yungay. However, the provincial government made efforts to prevent the news from spreading and urged people not to panic. The 1970 earthquake destabilized a glacier and snowmass which surged rapidly downhill, becoming a mudflow as it accumulated large volumes of loose dirt, rock and surface water. The death toll was made worse due to the earthquake having occurred on a Sunday, as thousands more people had congregated in Yungay for market when the mudflow struck and leveled the city. The slide then entered the Río Santa and caused extensive damage as it flowed all the way downstream to the Pacific Ocean, a distance of 100 miles (160 km), mostly through a narrow canyon. death 30,000 missing Unknown
“Smoking snakes” is a good song to react. Is about 3 Brazilians soldiers that fought alone against a full German regiment during the World War 2…must people don’t know that Brazil fought in WW2. Sabaton is helping to let people know the history
I'm discovering Sabaton along with you... not knowing them before today. Good, solid beat with his deep voice... without getting too chaotic and crazy. Storyline is deep and surely means a lot to many Europeans. I guess us north Americans are blessed not to have known these tragedies. Something different for you to try... check out the video of Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown performing "It's A Man's World"... a mix of soul and opera... a classic, beautifully done! Here's the link : th-cam.com/video/GaB9F3R9cIY/w-d-xo.html
I’d highly recommend listening to the angel voice of Emma KoK. Andre Rieu introduces her. It’s really emotional. God bless. Ps I’d never heard of White Friday/blood mountain!
Sabaton makes these unsung men known and heard through their music and message. The fate of these poor men will be enshrined forever thanks to Sabaton!
Deff should do a reaction video to "Sabaton History" after you do the song. i read somewhere that early on in the fighting a Austro-Hungarian soldier shot a Italian soldier while he was climbing and as he fell took 2 others with him down the cliff , after that the Austro-Hungarian taunted them with shouts of "Welcome to Heaven" hence giving that trail the nickname "Stairway to Heaven"
You should check out Orden Ogan, with their lastest single, The Order of Fear And if you're getting that 80s vibe from this song, their inspiration for another song, The Valley of Death, on the album The War to End All Wars was inspired by bands like Twisted Sister and Judas Priest
I don't think they have an official music video to this but sabaton did an awesome track called metal machine. And it has nothing to do with history or war but rather a tribute to metal with lyrics made up of metal song titles. * my mistake. They do have a lyric vid 😁
Awesome reaction! If you wanna hear another great swedish band then you should checkout HammerFall "Brotherhood" or "(We Make) Sweden Rock" they formed 1993 and have been active since that, Their music is very good and catchy, and the band is very successful
Check out Boston Foreplay/long time. Amazing song, the founder was a MIT graduate and genius in the true since of the word. I'm sure a bunch of people will give the history if you reacted to it. It was recorded in the 70s so no video with it.
If you want to know more about white friday. Look up sabatons history yt channel and search for soldier of heaven. There they go in deeper about white friday 🤘👍
The Red Baron,there in the sky. You only hear about fallen heros of the Allies. Never any from Germany,..but for one. The Red Baron and even then he is mostly made fun of. He died just before his 25th birthday. They tore his uniform from him for souvineers and the same with his plane. Today he is a f unny character that is shot down by Snoopy. Sad,isnt it. He was the greatest flying ace of WWI. Also,he didnt shoot the pilots of the planes he shot down,allowing them to live.
check out US Military GWOT Tribute (Sabaton - Purple Heart Music Video) from Noah Strickler channel. It's the most moving Sabaton song gets me every time🥲
Great reaction, you should check out some fun silly songs Joakim has done. NANOWAR OF STEEL - Pasadena 1994 ft. Joakim Brodén BABYMETAL - Oh! MAJINAI ft. Joakim Brodén
Sabaton are masters of storytelling 🇸🇪 Great reaction. 👍🥰🤘 I am your new subscriber. Can you please react to Lord of the Lost and their song "One Last Song"?❤

I've learned more World War 1 history from Sabaton than from any schoolteacher in the USA. In the USA, we learn next to nothing abt WW1.
If you're curious check "The Great War" , they covered WWI week by week, it's a great watch for history buffs but really depressing tbf.

Its almost 2500 years later and we still know that it happed. We may not know there names but a part of of them will live forever thru history.

Deff should do a reaction video to "Sabaton History" after you do the song. i read somewhere that early on in the fighting a Austro-Hungarian soldier shot a Italian soldier while he was climbing and as he fell took 2 others with him down the cliff , after that the Austro-Hungarian taunted them with shouts of "Welcome to Heaven" hence giving that trail the nickname "Stairway to Heaven"
TH-cam algorithm: "Hot girls are reviewing your favorite band"
Me:"I click"
You should check out Orden Ogan, with their lastest single, The Order of Fear
And if you're getting that 80s vibe from this song, their inspiration for another song, The Valley of Death, on the album The War to End All Wars was inspired by bands like Twisted Sister and Judas Priest
Wonderful.
The last stand is a great one
I don't think they have an official music video to this but sabaton did an awesome track called metal machine. And it has nothing to do with history or war but rather a tribute to metal with lyrics made up of metal song titles.
* my mistake. They do have a lyric vid 😁
Awesome reaction! If you wanna hear another great swedish band then you should checkout HammerFall "Brotherhood" or "(We Make) Sweden Rock" they formed 1993 and have been active since that, Their music is very good and catchy, and the band is very successful
They have there own TH-cam channel
Check out Boston Foreplay/long time. Amazing song, the founder was a MIT graduate and genius in the true since of the word. I'm sure a bunch of people will give the history if you reacted to it. It was recorded in the 70s so no video with it.
Sabaton - Soldier of three armies. Pleease. Pretty pleeease.
Great reaction! Now you have to react to
"Ghost Division" Live from Wacken.
Crazy energy from them in that one
Next sabaton - soldier of 3 armies
80s vibes
If you want to know more about white friday. Look up sabatons history yt channel and search for soldier of heaven. There they go in deeper about white friday 🤘👍
Ghost Division is the best Sabaton's song.
If you want a more in depth video on how many did die in ww2 you can look up the fallen of world war 2. Might be chocking.
Have you got your concert tickets for Sabaton's USA tour???
The Red Baron,there in the sky.
You only hear about fallen heros of the Allies. Never any from Germany,..but for one. The Red Baron and even then he is mostly made fun of. He died just before his 25th birthday. They tore his uniform from him for souvineers and the same with his plane. Today he is a f unny character that is shot down by Snoopy. Sad,isnt it. He was the greatest flying ace of WWI. Also,he didnt shoot the pilots of the planes he shot down,allowing them to live.
React to Last Stand by Sabaton. Also react to Zombie by The Cranberries or Bad Wolves remake.
No bullets fly and Nightwitch in animated story
You can try Sabaton Ballad of Bull
they aren't immortal anymore bc glaciers are melting. They find those soldiers every week who has been fozen in time.
check out US Military GWOT Tribute (Sabaton - Purple Heart Music Video) from Noah Strickler channel. It's the most moving Sabaton song gets me every time🥲
It's sad to be a Fallen Soldier ? Imagine being an Alive soldier
please do the sabaton soldier of three armies... 🙏
How about the “Frist soldier Of France 🇫🇷 “
Great reaction, you should check out some fun silly songs Joakim has done.
NANOWAR OF STEEL - Pasadena 1994 ft. Joakim Brodén
BABYMETAL - Oh! MAJINAI ft. Joakim Brodén
If you pay attention to the video, the first half is world war 1 and the second half transitions to the Second World War 😢
Uprising live in Poland
Sabaton are masters of storytelling 🇸🇪

Can you please react to Lord of the Lost and their song "One Last Song"?❤
Listen to inmate 4859 by sabaton it is a song about a person in a german concentration camp.
Hearts of Iron is a good Sabaton song
Look up Sabaton's history on the topic and record yourself watching it. Maybe it will worth your time.
