An Easter egg: if/when you'll check Christmas Truce, pay attention at the voice singing while the credit screen goes up. After it, look at the end of that credits, who was singing! You're welcome!
Welcome to Sabaton. As others have mentioned, they sing about real historical events. No bullets fly -animated story, is a Sabaton classic for many good reasons. Christmas Truce official video is another amazing music video. But yeah, with Sabaton, you cant go wrong. All ways good songs. Have fun!
The last survivor of the Bismarck died 1 year before this vid released. The memorabilia in the offic and the compass were his. The fishing boat skipper is his son.
Check out their sister channel Sabaton history that tell the history behind they're songs. A Swedish metal band that sing about war, sacrifices and heroism, but they never take anyone's part or glorify war. They just tell often small forgotten stories about people or events that many of us never heard about, often from the individual soldiers perspective.
Lead singer is Joakim Broden. He and bassist Par Sundstrom are the primary songwriters. Most of their songs are about Military History. Chris Rorland and Tommy Johansson on guitar and Hannes Van Dahl on drums. This is about the sinking of the German battleship ,Bismarck, in WWII. The video was filmed in conjunction with Wargaming and their game ,World of Warships. That's why the CGI is so good.
Welcome to the Sabaton army! As far as stopping their videos , you don't have to worry, they actually encourage reaction videos! You just fell into a very deep rabbit hole!
This is the song that got me into Sabaton. Their doing songs on real events and the research they do is incredible! They have a song about the siege of Stalingrad, and they said they used diaries of the survivors to get it right. Christmas Truce, Winged hussars, To Hell and Back. They have many many good songs. Oh, and the old boat captain? He was the survivor the Royal Navy saved.
Wow Sabaton, is Amazing. Now You can see the Man on the left in the picture is Floor Jansen's Husband. Hannes van Dahl. He is the drummer 🥁 of SABATON. Together they have a Daughter Freja... And live in Sweden 🇺🇦 Always nice to know 🥰 I love SABATON and NIGHTWISH 🤘🔥
This is my very first time hearing them after tons of recommendations! You'll have to wait and see the reaction though😉 I've been told he's Floors husband which also got me very curious about this band! 😁 Thanks for the information, much appreciated! The name Freja is beautiful! Thanks again!🤘🤘🤘🙏
Some other Sabaton songs I would suggest, Unkillable Soldier, Devil Dogs, 82nd, Last Stand, Ghost Division, Price of a Mile and Great War. Oh, the Animated story to Night Witches as well
As a side note here, the name they gave the boat at 1:58 is taken form an older song by the band (from the older set up of the band) they also have an channel here on youtube called sabaton history where they go into more in debt about the meaning of their songs.
That's very interesting, thanks for the info! 🙏 Ive been told about the other channel and am very curious to check it out. I do like history so that would be interesting🙏🙏🤘🤘
Everythings been said in the comments, sooo much more Sabaton to react to. The best history lessons EVER! - Wicked reeaction - Looking forward to more Sabaton reactions. - Much Love Peace & Respect. Stay Safe.
Awesome reaction again. Welcome to Sabaton. Christmas Truce and No bullets fly really good. Actually most of their songs are awesome and their videos are crazy good
so glad you choose to go on your journey with this band and this song above all. This song is my ringtone for my daughter, so skinny and thin but so heavy when walking that I call her battleship or Panzer. I'm a fan of this band, and love this one. The riff stand in mind for days each time your hear it ! If you like this band, try "No bullet fly", the animated video, and please watch it till the last second. ;-)
Hey, love the SABATON Reaction, there is the best you have to see: - Chirtmas Truces (clip version, very emotionnal) - Fields of Verdun (clip, very powerful, deep voice) - No bullet Fly (They did an animated version, it's very important to take this one because there is the context at the begining and at this end to understand what's going one...... No bullet fly is the most emotionnal song, even more than Christmas Truce !) - Night Witches (Animated version too, it is very very important for the context) -Sparta ! ( Here, there is no clip, but Fanmade with the movie 300 is great) So, top 5 sabaton's songs to react I'm sure 60% of the comments tell you about 1 or 2 songs from that list minimum PS: There is always a message at the end of SABATON video, You always have to go until the end of a clip :)
Hi Marben! Great reaction! For your next Sabaton reaction I recommend No Bullets Fly, Fields Of Verdun or Angels Calling live. Oh and greetings from Canada!
Sabaton writes about war history and have great videos. They also have a channel that go in to songs meaning, Sabaton history. There are so many to chose from but soldiers of heaven from the new album is a good one to follow Up with
Hi Fredrik. Thanks for the information! I've just been told about their other channel. I will definitely be checking that out! 🤘🙏 Thanks for the recommendation!! 🤘🙏🙏
Thank you again for another great reaction. Do continue down the rabbit hole with Sabaton. You´ll learn a great deal about many forgotten war stories across the world. Plus you´ll get to hear more awesome music ;)
It's been said a lot, but Christmas Truce (official video) and No Bullets Fly (animated) would be good follow-ups. With all Sabaton videos make sure you watch to the end - there are often some surprises (there are in both these suggestions).
Welcome to the metal world's history teachers. You'll love these guys as you move forward. fyi: the gentleman at the beginning is the son of the sailor that was pulled out of the see. A real person on Germany's Bismarck as it went down. You should also check out Sabaton History. They have a historian that the work with [Indy Nidel]. Each song has a history and they talk about the event and people that the songs are about.
Sabaton are a Swedish band, their drummer Hannes are married to Floor Jansen the vocalist of Nightwish, and the guitarist Tommy Johansson must be the best singer in Sweden, possibly in whole damn Europe. Dont beleive me? Well, check Tommy Johansson when he does a cover of the band Heart and the song "Alone".
I am aware of this yes. I was told my many after my NW reactions which got me interested in checking out Sabaton🙏 I'll definitely check that out! Thank you🙏🙏🙏🤘
I always say... SABATON is mine History book. The stories and their music are great. And The videos are so spectacular. With a lot of powerrrrr💪💪💥 And Please🙏 watch the VIDEO'S until it's really over....Tip 😉 Thank You This was AMAZING. From the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Welcome to the Sabaton rabbit hole. Now you said you wanted to read the lyrics and know more what they sing about. Well my friend there is a entire video about that on Sabaton History, where you get the historical event explained and some cool backstory from the band!
not seeing it in the comments yet but just an fyi, Sabaton's drummer (Hannes Van Dahl) is Floor Jansen's hubby :D [EDIT: oops someone already did. the person posted early XD] They have so many great songs. Personal fav is Night Witches, but I'm not sure if I should recommend the official music video or the official live version, both are so good!
Haha actually many people told me in my Nightwish reactions which eas part of the reason I decided to do a Sabaton reaction! Thank for the recommendations!! 🤘🙏🤘 I'll check out both! 🤣
As a sabaton fan can suggest you winged hussars, unkillable soldier, the last stand, ghost division (live in woodstock 2012). Nice reaction man, hope see your sabaton reactions soon🤟👍
If you would like to know more about the Battle of the Atlantic and the Sinking of the Bismarck, I must recommend a 1960 movie Sink the Bismarck. It is free here on YT. Suggest En Livstid I Kreig Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg.
Interesting fact: Despite all the gunfire coming from the Bismarck, not one single British airplane was shot down. Visibility was very poor and the German AA guns weren't as effective as they initially hoped for.
Try to think of the band as storytellers first that happen to be musicians and military history is their specialty because, as Mr. Boden said in an interview, "there are so many stories to tell."
5 best ones to react if you like biscmarck: #1: wolfpack, no official music video but one fan made which is amazing #2: christmas truce, one of the most emotional songs ever #3: long live the king, rarely gets talked about but it is amazing #4 carolus rex, top 20 song of most lists and for good reason #5 en livstid i krig, the live one is the only good one amd there is an english one which you should listen AFTER the swedish live one and they show a different perspective of a war not only different lyrics it is in swedish but subtitles on, it is said to tear up everybody who has served in the military and most other people as well. Probably the best live ive heard of ever by far! Record will not be broken and i dont think it can, hundreds of times listened and still get chills and tear up!!! It is AMAZING!
OMG... There are so many SABATON songs you really should listen to.... I recommend: En Livstid I Krig ( Live from Gothenburg - with captions on ) 40 : 1 from Woodstock 2012 Uprising - Woodstock as well Cliffs of Gallipoli 🥰 And my top one - Dreadnought from the latest album... Another one about the ship 😂
Welcome into the deep rabbithole of Sabaton! You have now ten years of music to enjoy.🤟 Music vids/Lyric videos; Carolus Rex Lion from the North Screaming Eagles Attack of the dead men Great war Angel's calling ft Apocalyptica 82nd all the way Fields of Verdun Red Baron Christmas truce Stormtroopers Dreadnought Epic live; Ghostdivision live Woodstock En livstid I krig live Gothenburg (caps on) Uprising live Woodstock Swedish pagans live Wacken Animated videos; No bullets fly full animated story Nightwitches full animated story These will give you a start.
A few suggestions: 1) Have subtitles turned on for Sabaton songs. They usually pack historical information in the lyrics, and the wordsmithing is usually very good. 2) There are 3 songs that have a video done with Yarnhub. Those add some historical context at the beginning & ending of the video. Look for a video that says "animated story video" for those. Those 3 are Christmas Truce, No Bullets Fly, and Night Witches. 3) The majority of the songs are about military history. Not about countries, but about people. War may release the worst side of humanity, but it also lets the best side of humanity show. 4) Others mentioned the Sabaton History Channel. I've heard opinions both ways on whether seeing it before reacting is a good idea. Reason to watch: You learn more about the history of the situation and it's more emotional to watch. Reason not to watch: They include short bits of the instrumental sections of the song, and you may feel that contaminates your "first reaction". Even if you don't watch it before reacting, watch it afterwards. 5) Always watch a video to the end. Sometimes there's extra stuff there. Small details on this video you don't see if you've never listened to this band before: 1) The stencil name the put on the ship is Primo Victoria. That's the name of their first military history album. The title track is about D-Day. 2) The song/video were done in cooperation with World of Warships. Sabaton has a good relationship with the company that makes World of Tanks & World of Warships. 3) If you listen to the "radio" when they drive up and watch the video part, it's basically following the hunt for the German battlecruiser Bismarck in WWII. 4) The word you couldn't read at the end because the ad was right over it was Atlantic. "In the Battle of the Atlantic."
Hi April. Thank you so much for all the information! I really appreciate it! I have started reading abit more on them and they're amazing. Very humble people and their music is a true show of that! This is a rabbit hole I'm very excited to go down! Thanks again and I'll be sure to take your advice!🙏🙏🤘 Thank you 🤘🙏🙏
You must be a fan now because there is no way back. Please watch no bullets fly-animated story as Emil tells you but be sure to watch until the real end en then i want to see your face because i think you need a handkerchief thanks for this reaction ,always nice to hear that there is a new fan one small detail ,the drummer is the husband of Floor from Nightwish
My recommendation would be to watch En Livstid I Krieg - Live version. It's in their home country of Sweden and therefore sung in Swedish, so you'll need the subtitles on. Very emotional indeed, not a music video though. For one that is I can't improve on the other recommendations that mention Christmas Truce which is very comparable in production terms to Bismarck. I will mention that this was shot with the help of the people who make World of Warships, and I believe the song was used in promotional material when they introduced the Bismarck into their line up of ships that players could get. Which partly explains the excellent CGI. Though Sabaton can make their own excellent music videos, this isn't quite their normal level. Another good video, possibly a little unfortunate given current events, is Defence of Moscow.
Many good recommendations I have seen here so far. But before I give my own, here is some general advice: 1. Make sure to watch all their music videos to the very end. It ain't over until it's over. The band likes to hide little easter eggs in there once in a while 2. If not before listening to the song, then at least after listening to the song make sure you also watch the appropriate episode on their Sabaton History channel where they provide more context to the events their song is about - in case of this song the Hunt for the Bismarck, which the British threw over 2800 shells and lots of torpedos at - and still Bismarck's own crew needed to scuttle the darn thing in order to sink it in a somewhat timely manner. Otherewise it would have remained afloat for hours even after the British ships would have run out of shells. Now onto the recommendations 1. No Bullets Fly - Animated Story video. (tissues recommended, just in case) 2. Night Witches - Animated Story video 3. Christmas Truce - official music video (curious if you spot the easter egg in there or not) 4. Winged Hussars (this song has become a bit of a meme, but in a good way.) 5. The Last Stand (I still hope to see this played at St Peter's Basilica upon the 500th anniversary of that event..) 6. Lady of the Dark 7. The Unkillable Soldier - Official music video (no, this title is not an exaggeration - you will see.) 8. Swedish Pagans
Thank you so much for all the information and the assistance with this very deep rabbit hole! Much appreciated! Saved the message to go back to! Thanks again!!🙏🙏🙏🤘
Could you please react to HAMMERFALL - Brotherhood (a thank you song for their fans, They do also have their kids in it,) or (We Make) Sweden Rock (A Tribute to Swedish Hard rock and Metal bands) They are obvious a Swedish band hehe. But really talented! They released their 12th studio album this year! They are got some of the coolest lyrics and music, So catchy and melodic. They do also make great gallops like ”Hammer of Dawn” the singer got a distinct voice,
I've never heard of Hammerfall so that has got me interested!! Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check it out. Maybe do some reaction to them🤘🤘😁🙏
@@marbenthesaffa Im looking forward to your thoughts, Their music is very old school, all their artwork on the albums is made by a guy called Samwise Didler he is the main artist for World of Warcraft
Don't know how to make reaction requests so I'll post here. Your reactions are always fun to watch! Can you react to Korean Rock girl band called "Rolling Quartz"? It would be interesting to see your take on them. Here's their most recent MV "Azalea" th-cam.com/video/EVbR7F2YgNQ/w-d-xo.html This or any of their other songs would be great! Delight: th-cam.com/video/_6Xxlz0H-I0/w-d-xo.html Good night: th-cam.com/video/6ZMwFjO2yvY/w-d-xo.html Holler: th-cam.com/video/no87mT1Vd2E/w-d-xo.html Blaze: th-cam.com/video/Pg51wRHMRek/w-d-xo.html
If you want to feel the real power of Sabaton, I suggest Ghost Division Live (this version: th-cam.com/video/9FkYxnm70vg/w-d-xo.html ) Believe me, you're in for a treat... and the Sabaton rabbit hole goes deep !
I could yes but that would just be another distraction from the great music and music video. Want to take in as much as I can first time watching and listening to it🙏🙏🙏🤘
Welcome to Sabaton your going to learn alot of history and your going to love it. deff go and check out "Sabaton History Channel to learn about the song topic. don't worrie about pausing on a video too much they are very good with reactors (even doing interviews and tickets to their concerts W/meet & greets ) check out some of there older stuff like "Cliffs of Gallipoli" (world war 1 ) "Too Hell and Back" (WW2, Audie Murphy) "The Last Stand" (1527 sack of Rome & the Swiss Guard) just to name a few.
"Christmas truce".... now! hahaha, you should find a familiar voice in that one's ending. "82nd all the way" is another epic song, very powerful and you can do a double reaction of that one. Sabaton's original and Amaranthe's cover, both amazing. About this one (Bismarck), gaming company Wargaming landed a huge help in the epic cinematics (World of Warships game is of their doing). Sabaton... the best way to learn history ;-) PS: and yes, Hannes (Sabaton's drummer) is Floor Jansen's husband 🙂
world war 2: after 3 minutes of battle the german battleship bismarck sank the hms hood (the mightiest battleship of the british empire during that era, back then called "the mighty hood") after a penetrating hit of a 2000 pound shell into one of the midship anti-air shell magazines. the whole section exploded, breaking the hood litterally apart midship. only 3 men of the 1700 crewmembers survived. the bismarck was commissioned 14th of february 1934 under the command of captain ernst lindmann and had a mission to raid the shipping lanes to great britain. in the battle with british swordfish torpedo bombers the bismarks rudder was hit and stuck in place. afterwards it was hunted down by a british fleet, pounding all they had into it, sinking the bismarck. it was 250 meters long and had a crew of 2000 people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck
If you like this, you absolutely must check out Christmas Truce by them!
I'm definitely getting into this! Need to hear some more thought but from that one track I already like them!
Thanks for the recommendation!🙏🤘🤘
No Bullets Fly (the Animated version) is also a fantastic choice. Sabaton has a great way to tell you bits about history.
Animated STORY version is must. :) Same fo night witches.
Agree!
An Easter egg: if/when you'll check Christmas Truce, pay attention at the voice singing while the credit screen goes up. After it, look at the end of that credits, who was singing! You're welcome!
Welcome to Sabaton.
As others have mentioned, they sing about real historical events.
No bullets fly -animated story, is a Sabaton classic for many good reasons.
Christmas Truce official video is another amazing music video.
But yeah, with Sabaton, you cant go wrong. All ways good songs.
Have fun!
Thanks Emil, much appreciated! I might definitely venture down this rabbit hole🙏🤘🙏🤘
The last survivor of the Bismarck died 1 year before this vid released. The memorabilia in the offic and the compass were his. The fishing boat skipper is his son.
Wow, thanks for that information! That's amazing!🙏 Gaining more and more respect for this band🙏🤘🤘
Check out “ No Bullets Fly” animated video and “Christmas Truce”
Will do thanks Eric🤘🤘🙏
Those are HIGHLY recommended.
Don't forget about the "Night Witches". The animated version of it.
Check out their sister channel Sabaton history that tell the history behind they're songs.
A Swedish metal band that sing about war, sacrifices and heroism, but they never take anyone's part or glorify war.
They just tell often small forgotten stories about people or events that many of us never heard about, often from the individual soldiers perspective.

Lead singer is Joakim Broden. He and bassist Par Sundstrom are the primary songwriters. Most of their songs are about Military History.
Chris Rorland and Tommy Johansson on guitar and Hannes Van Dahl on drums.
This is about the sinking of the German battleship ,Bismarck, in WWII. The video was filmed in conjunction with Wargaming and their game ,World of Warships. That's why the CGI is so good.
Oh wow, that's awsome information, I didn't know that! Yeah this music video was Amazing!!! I absolutely loved it!!

Welcome to the Sabaton army! As far as stopping their videos , you don't have to worry, they actually encourage reaction videos! You just fell into a very deep rabbit hole!

- Chirtmas Truces (clip version, very emotionnal)
- Fields of Verdun (clip, very powerful, deep voice)
- No bullet Fly (They did an animated version, it's very important to take this one because there is the context at the begining and at this end to understand what's going one...... No bullet fly is the most emotionnal song, even more than Christmas Truce !)
- Night Witches (Animated version too, it is very very important for the context)
-Sparta ! ( Here, there is no clip, but Fanmade with the movie 300 is great)

I'm sure 60% of the comments tell you about 1 or 2 songs from that list minimum
PS: There is always a message at the end of SABATON video, You always have to go until the end of a clip
:)
Hi, thank you very much! And thaml you for the recommendations and explanations. I really appreciate it!🙏🙏
Thank you🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘
Swedish pagans live should be on that list.
Feels like this song should've had that 80ies style "fade out" ending to represent Bismarck vanishing under waves.
100% agree with you there🙏🤘💪
Hi Marben! Great reaction! For your next Sabaton reaction I recommend No Bullets Fly, Fields Of Verdun or Angels Calling live. Oh and greetings from Canada!
Hi Tria! Thank you very much and thank you for the recommendations!! Much appreciated!🤘🙏🇿🇦

5 best ones to react if you like biscmarck:
#1: wolfpack, no official music video but one fan made which is amazing
#2: christmas truce, one of the most emotional songs ever
#3: long live the king, rarely gets talked about but it is amazing
#4 carolus rex, top 20 song of most lists and for good reason
#5 en livstid i krig, the live one is the only good one amd there is an english one which you should listen AFTER the swedish live one and they show a different perspective of a war not only different lyrics
it is in swedish but subtitles on, it is said to tear up everybody who has served in the military and most other people as well. Probably the best live ive heard of ever by far! Record will not be broken and i dont think it can, hundreds of times listened and still get chills and tear up!!! It is AMAZING!

Thank you😁🙏🤘
@@marbenthesaffa Liked and subbed looking forward to next reaction from you to this awesome band
@@miafranlund6982 Thank you Mia! :)
A Christmas truce. And for live anything from woodstock poland. If that show doesn't get you going you have no soul lol
Haha I'll be sure to check that out! Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘🙏
ofc without subtitles, why even listen a song with subtitles to fully understand text that might go under in the instrumental
A few suggestions:
1) Have subtitles turned on for Sabaton songs. They usually pack historical information in the lyrics, and the wordsmithing is usually very good.
2) There are 3 songs that have a video done with Yarnhub. Those add some historical context at the beginning & ending of the video. Look for a video that says "animated story video" for those. Those 3 are Christmas Truce, No Bullets Fly, and Night Witches.
3) The majority of the songs are about military history. Not about countries, but about people. War may release the worst side of humanity, but it also lets the best side of humanity show.
4) Others mentioned the Sabaton History Channel. I've heard opinions both ways on whether seeing it before reacting is a good idea. Reason to watch: You learn more about the history of the situation and it's more emotional to watch. Reason not to watch: They include short bits of the instrumental sections of the song, and you may feel that contaminates your "first reaction". Even if you don't watch it before reacting, watch it afterwards.
5) Always watch a video to the end. Sometimes there's extra stuff there.
Small details on this video you don't see if you've never listened to this band before:
1) The stencil name the put on the ship is Primo Victoria. That's the name of their first military history album. The title track is about D-Day.
2) The song/video were done in cooperation with World of Warships. Sabaton has a good relationship with the company that makes World of Tanks & World of Warships.
3) If you listen to the "radio" when they drive up and watch the video part, it's basically following the hunt for the German battlecruiser Bismarck in WWII.
4) The word you couldn't read at the end because the ad was right over it was Atlantic. "In the Battle of the Atlantic."
Hi April. Thank you so much for all the information! I really appreciate it! I have started reading abit more on them and they're amazing. Very humble people and their music is a true show of that!
This is a rabbit hole I'm very excited to go down!
Thanks again and I'll be sure to take your advice!🙏🙏🤘
Thank you 🤘🙏🙏
Most of the NWA will tell you this band and Nightwish are connected by the drummer....he is Floor Jansen's husband.
They have indeed told me this during my NW reactions! 😁😁😁🙏🤘
You need also to hear from them:No bullets fly (animated version),christmas truce,unkillable soldier,steel commanders
Thank you, I will be sure to check it out! 🤘🤘🤘🙏
You must be a fan now because there is no way back.
Please watch no bullets fly-animated story as Emil tells you but be sure to watch until the real end en then i want to see your face because i think you need a handkerchief
thanks for this reaction ,always nice to hear that there is a new fan
one small detail ,the drummer is the husband of Floor from Nightwish
Hi Annie. I am certainly getting there yes!
I will definitely watch that thank you thank you🙏
Anytime, I really enjoyed it!🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘
sabaton red baron and dreadnoughts!! must see those ones!!
Will do thank you!! 🤘
My recommendation would be to watch En Livstid I Krieg - Live version. It's in their home country of Sweden and therefore sung in Swedish, so you'll need the subtitles on. Very emotional indeed, not a music video though. For one that is I can't improve on the other recommendations that mention Christmas Truce which is very comparable in production terms to Bismarck.
I will mention that this was shot with the help of the people who make World of Warships, and I believe the song was used in promotional material when they introduced the Bismarck into their line up of ships that players could get. Which partly explains the excellent CGI. Though Sabaton can make their own excellent music videos, this isn't quite their normal level. Another good video, possibly a little unfortunate given current events, is Defence of Moscow.
Thanks for all the info Tim, much appreciated!! 🙏🙏🙏🤘
You should try "40:1" or "resist and bite" honestly all of their songs are good and it is hard to pick just 1 because the list is so long
Some Sabaton suggestions:
Christmas Truce
Stormtroopers
Ghost Division (official live video)
Great War
The Lion from the North
Thank you so much for the suggestions Tommy!! 🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘
And Floor Jansens husband behind the drums 😎
So I've been told😋🤘🙏
You are in for a treat if you go down the Sabaton Rabbit hole!
I'm looking forward to it!! 😁🤘🙏
Nice "massive" solo. 😂🤣
Careful this is another rabbit hole just like nightwish LOL. All their songs are about military history, and very accurate.
I'm pumped got another rabbit hole! I really enjoy military history so this is right up my alley 🙏🤘🤘🤘
Try Soldier of heaven, Christmas truce or No bullets fly. And if you want to know more of the facts behind songs they have history channel too.
Thank you! I have been pointed in the direction of the history channel so I'm very curious and excited to watch that! Thank you🤘🤘🙏
Unkillable Soldier
Joakim just destroying his leg
if you like this, go check out the sabaton history channel for more info about thier songs
Thank you, I've been told to check it out! I'm really interested!🤘🤘🤘🙏
Are they making music videos, or are they making movies? Great Reaction. The drummer is married to Floor in case 100+ fans have missed telling you.
I thought the same. Their videos are like movies. So good! 🤘🤘🙏💪
Many good recommendations I have seen here so far. But before I give my own, here is some general advice:
1. Make sure to watch all their music videos to the very end. It ain't over until it's over. The band likes to hide little easter eggs in there once in a while
2. If not before listening to the song, then at least after listening to the song make sure you also watch the appropriate episode on their Sabaton History channel where they provide more context to the events their song is about - in case of this song the Hunt for the Bismarck, which the British threw over 2800 shells and lots of torpedos at - and still Bismarck's own crew needed to scuttle the darn thing in order to sink it in a somewhat timely manner. Otherewise it would have remained afloat for hours even after the British ships would have run out of shells.
Now onto the recommendations
1. No Bullets Fly - Animated Story video. (tissues recommended, just in case)
2. Night Witches - Animated Story video
3. Christmas Truce - official music video (curious if you spot the easter egg in there or not)
4. Winged Hussars (this song has become a bit of a meme, but in a good way.)
5. The Last Stand (I still hope to see this played at St Peter's Basilica upon the 500th anniversary of that event..)
6. Lady of the Dark
7. The Unkillable Soldier - Official music video (no, this title is not an exaggeration - you will see.)
8. Swedish Pagans
Thank you so much for all the information and the assistance with this very deep rabbit hole! Much appreciated! Saved the message to go back to!
Thanks again!!🙏🙏🙏🤘

Swedish vikings, En livstid i krig, Ghost division!! 😃
check out soldier of heaven, its a good song
Will do thank you🙏🙏🤘🤘
u should check out Sabaton the Red baron
I will do thank you!! 🤘🤘🤘🙏
Could you please react to HAMMERFALL - Brotherhood (a thank you song for their fans, They do also have their kids in it,) or (We Make) Sweden Rock (A Tribute to Swedish Hard rock and Metal bands) They are obvious a Swedish band hehe. But really talented! They
released their 12th studio album this year! They are got some of the coolest lyrics and music, So catchy and melodic. They do also make great gallops like ”Hammer of Dawn” the singer got a distinct voice,
I've never heard of Hammerfall so that has got me interested!! Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check it out. Maybe do some reaction to them🤘🤘😁🙏
@@marbenthesaffa Im looking forward to your thoughts, Their music is very old school, all their artwork on the albums is made by a guy called Samwise Didler he is the main artist for World of Warcraft
Don't know how to make reaction requests so I'll post here. Your reactions are always fun to watch! Can you react to Korean Rock girl band called "Rolling Quartz"? It would be interesting to see your take on them. Here's their most recent MV "Azalea" th-cam.com/video/EVbR7F2YgNQ/w-d-xo.html This or any of their other songs would be great!

Hey Jeff. Thanks for the recommendations! Much appreciated! Hopefully I can get to it soon, so many requests😁
I appreciate it, thank you🙏🙏🙏🤘
If you want to feel the real power of Sabaton, I suggest Ghost Division Live (this version: th-cam.com/video/9FkYxnm70vg/w-d-xo.html ) Believe me, you're in for a treat... and the Sabaton rabbit hole goes deep !
Hi Marc. Thanks for this, I will be sure to check it out!! I'm pumped!🙏🤘🤘🤘
I'm pretty sure Tommy died, rolled around in his grave, and the resurrected in pure frustration because you called it a "nice little solo" :P
🤣🤣🤣 What I meant to say was... awesome f@#%ing solo💪🤘🤣😁
Bismarck history from Sabaton history channel : th-cam.com/video/r5D3wSqdIG4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you🙏🤘🤘
or you just put on the lyrics on CC button
I could yes but that would just be another distraction from the great music and music video. Want to take in as much as I can first time watching and listening to it🙏🙏🙏🤘
Welcome to Sabaton your going to learn alot of history and your going to love it. deff go and check out "Sabaton History Channel to learn about the song topic. don't worrie about pausing on a video too much they are very good with reactors (even doing interviews and tickets to their concerts W/meet & greets ) check out some of there older stuff like "Cliffs of Gallipoli" (world war 1 ) "Too Hell and Back" (WW2, Audie Murphy) "The Last Stand" (1527 sack of Rome & the Swiss Guard) just to name a few.
Thank you very much!! I will definitely go check that out! They have me very interested now!
Thanks for the recommendations!!
🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘
"Christmas truce".... now! hahaha, you should find a familiar voice in that one's ending.
"82nd all the way" is another epic song, very powerful and you can do a double reaction of that one. Sabaton's original and Amaranthe's cover, both amazing.
About this one (Bismarck), gaming company Wargaming landed a huge help in the epic cinematics (World of Warships game is of their doing).
Sabaton... the best way to learn history ;-)
PS: and yes, Hannes (Sabaton's drummer) is Floor Jansen's husband 🙂
Hey Mariano! Thanks for all the information and recomm
endations! Much appreciated!!
The video for Bismarck is amazing🙏🤘🤘🤘
Thanks man!🙏🙏🤘
world war 2: after 3 minutes of battle the german battleship bismarck sank the hms hood (the mightiest battleship of the british empire during that era, back then called "the mighty hood") after a penetrating hit of a 2000 pound shell into one of the midship anti-air shell magazines. the whole section exploded, breaking the hood litterally apart midship. only 3 men of the 1700 crewmembers survived. the bismarck was commissioned 14th of february 1934 under the command of captain ernst lindmann and had a mission to raid the shipping lanes to great britain. in the battle with british swordfish torpedo bombers the bismarks rudder was hit and stuck in place. afterwards it was hunted down by a british fleet, pounding all they had into it, sinking the bismarck. it was 250 meters long and had a crew of 2000 people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck
Thank you for all this information. It's really interesting!! I love my history so this is so informative🤘🤘🙏🙏
