This song is mainly about White Friday (which really happens on a Wednesday) in 1916 in the Alps were Italian & Austro Hungrain troops suffer high looses do to avalanches both by mother nature or Artillery and none of the bodies have been recovered to this day, so they are frozen and buried at their post were they died. it also touches on WW2 when troops fought in the Apls also.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". you should check there other "Christmas Truce" (WW1) and for a good live video "Swedish Pagans" (Vikings) Live at Wacken Open Air 2019 "The Last Stand" (Swiss Guard 1527 Sack of Rome) is another good 1
One song from Sabaton you should look at is Uprising - Live at Woodstock 2012. Sabaton performing a song about the Warsaw Uprising in front of over 500 thousand proud Poles. 40 to 1 from the same concert is a must watch too.
Love the '80s synth vibe at the beginning of the song. As 2104dogface said, this honors the Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops who died in the Alps in WW1. Many were never recovered and thus the line "Here on the alpine slope, where I did my final stand I shall remain" standing their post forever. The WW2 fighters illustrate the soldiers watched as yet another war consumed lives, as does the line "So many brave men fell in the battles that were raging down below." To me the most tragic line is "I cried for spring to come but here, winter remain." Great bass line, drumming, and solo, as always with Sabaton. and Joakim totally slays this. great reaction, stay well, keep rocking.
You know that you always can check out Sabaton?s History Channel ....Where they ,together with a famous historian, will tellyou more about the song...why and their take on it...with alot of other fun facts
How about something a little bit more close to home for you!? No Bullets Fly is a Sabaton song about an american and german pilot. Has to be the animated story version, that story is truly heart breaking in a joyful way.
my great grandfather was lost in the mountains in Norway during WW2, never heard from again, no idea if his body is still buried in the snow or maybe someone found him and buried him properly.
Tried to watch you earlier reaction and it's not pleasant when you comment something, whole volume is on you and I can't hear song anymore. Just recommendation do something about it or pls comment after the song...at least i'd appreciate it. About to song itself...yea. catchy af and i didn't know history behind it before sabaton. Peace man

I concur, all of the songs from this festival are epic.

he did this song about 3 weeks ago😉🤘
Sabaton are masterful in picking interesting events
Awesome reaction! I think you should react to Hellfighters or Stormtroopers the animated video!
Heartily suggest you check out "the Pillars of Wisdom" its about T.E. Lawrence or more commonly Lawrence of Arabia.
Yeah, thats a great song.
A bit different for Sabaton but they are so iconic in their sound that I find this so refreshing .. my second favourite after Carolus Rex ..😀
U have a LOT to explore if u keep make Sabaton reaktions ❤ so many good songs and history for U
