I really suggest that you check out the Songs from the Carolus Rex album. I highly recommend the song En livstid I krig live Gothemburg next. Make sure to have CC on
They have quite a bit of behind the scenes material through their VLOGS on their YT channel. They have "making of" videos as well. Bismarck, 1916 etc. EDIT: I really like Hannes surprise here while interviewing their pyro technician when he explains that they will use 8,6 tons of explosives during the tour =P: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HiZ9wTKbWCA.html
If you haven't done it yet "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" followed by their Sabaton History channel video , the stories they share of filming on location is worth a listen
Excellent reaction. Sabaton has a number of behind the scenes videos on their channel. They also have a lot of vlogs of their tours. You mentioned the tank, there is an interesting interview with Hannes van Dahl where he discusses when they first built the tank (the same time he joined the band). They have another short showing his audition where he describes how he ended up with van Dahl (vandal) as his last name that is hilarious.
I can really, really reccomend Night Witches! And the video of it you want to watch is the Animated *STORY* version! There is a plain animated version, but that one doesn't have the additional story that you saw in the No bullets fly video. So you want to make sure you got the story version. The song is freaking fantastic and the history behind it is jaw dropping in a way that will make you feel both proud of a country that isn't your own and outraged at the same time. Only Sabaton can make that cocktail of emotions happen in a single video.
another commenter suggested to do the Carolus Rex Album, if you do i highly suggest doing both English and Swedish versions. The English version of the album sings in a broader more outside looking view while the Swedish verison is a Swedish view/prospective. The Swedish verison also has a song that isnt in English, Ruina Imperii, but you can find english translation lyric videos for that one. The Album covers Swedish history from Gustavus Adolphus and the 30 years war, to the Ablum's namesake Calorus Rex also known as Charles XII and the Great Northern War.
Great reaction!🤘 Don't hesitate to get a ticket to that show!!! 😃 I guarantee that it will be all worth it!! Check out their tour vlogs! A lot of fun stuff there.😉 I've seen a lot of great suggestions for the next Sabaton reaction here in this comment section. I'll just say pick anything from there.
Title track to the 2019 9th album. Yes, the drum riser is an fing tank. lol. About the suffering in WW I, specifically the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. En Livstid I Krig, live from the Great Tour in Gothenburg ,is a must watch. I think you'll love "Night Witches" too, animated story video.
if you do end up going to the concert make sure you listen to the songs on the setlist beforehand a couple of times, you really want to sing along for the full experience.
the second tank (actually the first built) is called Audie, named for Audi Murphy, the subject of the song "To Hell and Back." I highly recommend the music video of this song as it covers the hell of war and the PTSD Murphy had to overcome.
I remember a vlog or interview with Hannes (the drummer) whe he was joining and they asked him the measurements of his drumkit. And he said about..x by y...'no we need the exact measurements to maken sure the tank fits'. Wait...what...tank? What do you mean the tank has to fit....
