As Argentinian I listen back in control but thinking that song its a very different perspective of the war. It's by far my less favorite song of Sabaton but men, its Sabaton: They have tons of headbanging songs you can't stop singing (Yes, I sing Back in Control but sometimes changing the lyrics). Even paying taxes is epic with Sabaton. Sabaton is so badass that they make you feel the UN is usefull with "Light in the Dark" (The UN is useless like a horn in a plane*). * In spanish: Las Naciones Unidas son inútiles como bocina de avión ( "inútil como bocina de avión" it's a very common idiom in argentinian spanish)
During the first couple of years I listened to Sabaton, I didn’t like a lot of their songs because they just weren’t for me, but as I’ve progressed in my listening, every song, no matter the tempo is awesome
Sort of... Larry Thorne died in a helicopter crash in the Vietnam War on a mission because of bad weather. Thorne's entire life since he was 20, had been dedicated to fighting communism, and not living to see its end in the 90's is sort of sad.
Talvisota acting as the Russian Army's unofficial anthem would be the ultimate form of irony, considering it's about the Winter War, where the Finnish utterly humiliated them. Yes, the Russians eventually won, but only because they had enough men to clog up the meat grinder.
