It's both weird and cool that we're learning history from a Power Metal band from Sweden.

Mainstream: Metal can never have awesome Christian lyrics. Sabaton: Hold my -beer- tank

The charisma of Indy turns the video much more incredible. He knows how turns history more awesome. Same as the band

I totally understand Joakim with the goosebumbs. There is something about the Carolus Rex album that hits right in the soul as a swede!

As a Finn I take great pride in the possibility that some of my ancestors were Caroleans, fighting alongside Carolus Rex.

Peter the Great: I gave birth to the Russian Empire what did you do? Carolus Rex: I got a Sabaton Album made about me. Peter the Great:........................................................you win.

Should also be mentioned that the fact that the king, Karl XII was one of the last european kings to join the battles himself and boosting the troops morale even more

I was baptized into a Sabaton fan when I heard this. Before I was just a casual listener, I heard Primo Victoria and Carolus Rex as singles and thought it was cool but when I heard this song I remembered almost crying because of that choir (I was part of a church choir myself) and immediately looked to buy the complete album. Thank you Sabaton for this song. Note: I was not a fan of metal but after hearing this song I became a fan of your band.

Fader Vår, som är i himmelen Helgat varde ditt namn Tillkomme ditt rike Ske din vilja, Såsom i himmelen så ock på jorden Giv oss idag vårt dagliga bröd Och förlåt oss våran skuld❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Greetings from Slovakia 🇸🇰❤️

The Carolean's Prayer. My favourite Sabaton Song of all time.

I love the organ intro. It screamed Christianity right there.

I first heard Sabaton by hearing this very song in Europa Universalis IV. I heard it and thought "WHO IS THIS BAND AND WHERE HAS IT BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE?!"

AHEAD FACING THE LEAD AN ARMY OF SWEDES PERFORMING GOD'S DEEDS

Neidell nailed the Swedish pronouciation in this video!

The Swedish version is so good!

Janissaries: We r the toughest shock troopers. Caroleans: Hold my beer🍺

I too get goosebumps every time I hear this song, can't imagine what a Swede might feel when talking about their country's history with so much power, one of my favourites from the Band, and the one that actually got me into listening to power metal altogether.

What Joachim says here is so true. Sabaton is amazingly powerful in English, but the Swedish versions of the Carolus Rex album is just awe inspiring. I'm from Norway so I understand Swedish pretty well. Thanks for all the amazing music guys : )

PUT THEIR LIVES IN GOD'S HAND FOR THE KINGDOM AND FATHERLAND, BEST SONG, AND THIS IS GONNA BE BEST VIDEO ABOUT THEM

i am a bit dissapointed that they did not talk about how they made those "marching noises" at the end of the song, because that is some innovative thing to be honest

One of my favourite songs. Love the moment they sing the prayer in Swedish :)

A buddy of mine learned Swedish just so he could listen to that album in the language it "should be" (his words).

I've been a bit sceptical of the concept of this channel to be honest. I've always been very careful with pop history. But you know what? I was wrong. It's not just that your research is top notch, but also that you _approach_ whatever story the song is about from the right perspective, focusing headfirst on both quantifiable facts but also on the interpersonal culture and societal feelings surrounding it, which is so critical. When talking about the Thirty Years' War, for example, it's easy to get bogged down in talking about Dutch innovative infantry formations or the short-sightedness of the Imperial Doctrine, which leaves out the much bigger surrounding picture of the conflict being, proportionately, the most destructive in European history. I've literally never, in my entire time on this earth, seen any RU-vid video talk about the Caroleans and the Great Northern War in an accurate way (Partly because Swedish sources are almost never translated) but you guys did it. You made an accurate video about the Caroleans. For the first time in ages, I don't have to write a 10-paragraph comment explaining the fundamental errors of a video about Caroleans. Thank you, so much. Like, when discussing the overwhelming _shock_ of a Carolean charge (Voltaire summarised it quite well: "All who have served with the Swedes know that it is nearly impossible to resist their first charge"), you _can_ include the fact that Caroleans had a habit of loading two or three smaller bullets instead of one regular one, essentially turning their muskets into primitive shotguns, or that the standard distance was between 10-20 paces from the enemy, but it doesn't really matter for the overall point of what Carolean tactics encompassed. I really do appreciate the emphasis on the personal motivations and discipline that was required for the execution of Swedish Shock Tactics. It's important to remember that soldiers are not faceless clones whose sole purpose is to do battle. Great job guys, really! 🤘 Jag undar, tittade någon av er på Armémusets dokumentär om Slaget vid Fraustadt under forskningen för den här videon? (Eller, framförallt, den eventuella framtida videon om "Killing Ground"?)

Now I have great respect for Sweden's men at arms defending the fatherland. Awesome work guys keep it up. Can't wait for the new album. 🤘🤘🤘

This song is absolutely brilliant. I love the choir, I love the lyrics, the instrumentals and the story behind the Caroleans. Thank you so much for this.

I love being a Christian and learning about history of my faith will always put a smile on my face.

You are the first metal band that I am a proper fan of!

I hadn't known about the Caroleans before, love their closing with cold steel! Great historical presentation - thanks, Indy! - and an equally great song to match, for which we must thank Sabaton.

Just became a patron in anticipation for the new album. I know you guys won't let me down. P.s. please come back to Boston, the show last year was incredible

Död vid rikets rand drömmen rann ut i sand, leve Carolus!!! Great video, i would love to see a video about the song "Konungens likfärd" ("Long live the king")

Carolus Rex is my favourite Sabaton album and I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Also while I'm here, I love this channel and look forward to this each week.

Ah, my favorite Christian song.

This album and this song in particular actually inspired me to learn Swedish. I am still very much a beginner, I can ask for food and drink, say good morning, and point out some animals at the zoo, but that's about it right now. Still learning. I am determined to learn the Swedish lyrics for Carolus Rex. I WILL SEE YOU IN FALUN ONE DAY!

Criminally underrated song! That, Unbreakable, Angels Calling, and Rise of Evil

I like it that you do such songs in Swedish as I am learning swedish at university and can learn the language and Swedens history simply through your songs! 👍

See the caroleans standing tall all for one and one for all

Thanks for another amazing video! So incredibly excited for the new album!! :)

Hyped for the Great War album!

As a Major War History buff I always love you're songs and albums, you are the only metal band I enjoy and i consider you modern day bards. keep rocking on!

Who knew Sabaton could make a Kickass Christian song.

I love the snare drum in this song, I always want to march to it. I have the same feeling with price of a mile. It is just so motivating

More Sabaton history? We should just rename thrusday to Sabaton day already. For a day of great music and history? Sounds awesome to me.

Nine episodes in and i keep saying every week that this is the best episode yet! But seriously let's just say that they all freaking rock! Indy is amazing! Thank you guys for your hard work!

This song is one of the most beautiful and most powerful song I have ever heard Sabaton perform. The first time I heard the Lord’s prayer in it I got chills and tears because it was so well done. Thank you for sharing the history on such an incredible song.

I was screaming the lyrics each time they played.

I really happy that you choosed Indy to review the backstory of your songs. Great content

I love that the most replayed part of the video is Joakim saying "Tills han vittögat ser, Karolinen marscherar fram"

My favorite part of the song is when the choir sings the Lords Prayer is Swedish. I cant speak Swedish at all but I'll randomly start singing it at work. (Forgive me the harsh mispronunciations)

Whole Carolus Rex album is great but I love it even more in Swedish

There is nothing more metal and christian than hearing *Father Lord in swedish*

Goddamn this made the song 100x better than it already was!

Absolutely adore this song. Been looking forward to this video. Thanks guys! \,,/

Prity cool to see the nordic spirit is the 1700 Sweden. To put youre life for the gods/god, and not to fear death as there pagan ancestors.

Love Sabaton and Swedish history! Great video!

Damn, i had this song stuck in my head all day and was thinking "man, i dont know much about this. I hope S.H comes out with a video on it soon." Then, as im listening to the song i get this notification. As always, you didnt disappoint.

Awesome finaly one from carolus rex!! Btw is the signed album from the Patreon Tier: Sabaton Hussars, Vinyl or CD. im collecting vinyls and this one would be a huge addition to the collection. Sabaton

Because of this video i remembered that you guys had a show in 3 hours and i spontaneously drove to hannover in germany . Great show guy, see you in köln in a few days for the third show of you guys un a row and my third overall 😂

I loved it,one of my favourite songs of all time,of all my life.Epic,amazing lyrics and the choir just makes it even better

Everyone gangster until the Swedes decide to march up to you in formation under fire without flinching.

One of Sabaton's greatest songs, definitely long overdue. Well done guys!

Great band , great song. Sabaton I have seen you live in Philadelphia about 4 times so far, always a great show keep up the amazing work.

Really excited for the videos on Carolus Rex ! One of the most perfect albums I have every heard. So many awesome songs

You are NOT allowed to stop doing these videos before you have made one for each and every one of your songs! So good!!!!

This channel is fucking awesome. Can’t wait till we get to “the last stand” and “resist and bite”. Especially “resist and bite” because that is such a badass story.

There are a lot of songs Just from the album carolus Rex alone that I would love to see made into videos like these. Especially lifetime of War.

This is my favorite episode of Sabaton History. Blood was boiling trough the whole video

Hey! One question, where are you shooting the episodes?

By far the best sounding prayer

This is probably in my top 3 when it comes to the best Sabaton songs (the swedish version). I love the choir and what it brings to the songs. It's really dope. Also, this channel is just amazing. To get further knowledge about the stories and events Sabaton sing about is great. I really hope they do A Lifetime of War as well since it's my all time favorite song with Sabaton.

YES! Thank you for finally doing something from Carolus Rex, my favorite Sabaton album. If I were Swedish I would start a petition to make the entire album my country's national anthem and make it mandatory to broadcast it daily on state radio.

Man I love this channel, only problem is it is hard to read a history book on any event that Sabaton has done a song. Now with the their history channel to help fill in even more information it is no contest!! Still I love the the fact that the people not the events are glorified in their songs. The ordinary person caught in extraordinary events are remembered and honored as it should be!!!

THANK YOU!!!!! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE SONGS OF SABATON !!

This episode gave me goosebumps from start to finish ! Helvete, vad mäktigt!!

Awesome video! Love every minute of each episode can't wait for the next song!

Hail all the Sabaton batallions all 'round the world!! It is soooo exciting learning history along side one of my fav bands!! Greets from Mexico and VIVA SABATON!

This is easily my favorite episode, favorite song, and favorite history from any song, well done!

One of the best songs you guys had ever made.... Love it. 🤘🤘🤘

Ahhh that's really cool to hear about how Sabaton records the choir parts, they sound great on every album they're on.

Sweden is often overlooked as a major political player back in the day. I live near Aschaffenburg, which is in northern Bavaria und our most famous local brewery (Schlappeseppel) was actually founded by a soldier of the Swedish forces in the 1630s when King Gustav captured the town in the 30 Years War.

Your "gå på" was spot on, you could might aswell have been a Sweede Indy!

My favourite song from Sabaton. Thanks, very interesting as always!

Loved this album... absolutely beautiful, both disks.

2nd Favorite song of all time! Winged hussars is my 1st! In honor of hussars I just joined the Hussar patreon group!

This is 1 of the five songs my school hasn't blocked

I've a plaesure to participate in the reenactment of the second battle for Narva, where ve've "fought" on the "russian" side against "karoliners" in this tigt formation musket battle. Although this wasnt real, it liiked like a dumbest way to fight. you get an order to march on, and you stroll slowly, with your musket in hands towards an enemy fire, as your comrades fall besides you. No way to hide, run, retreat. Taking cover was not an option. You were standing tall in the open, under fire. I can only imagine how hellish it was for the actual soldiers in the real war. You just accept your faith and march on....

This is great, keep up the great work!

Great vid as per usual Sabaton History!

My favourite song ever

I like Joakim's passion in writing music. Awesome stuff.

Whooo boy my favorite song

Your native language is beautiful

I am so grateful you guys did the album in Swedish. As a swede there is no other album that gives me such a sense of feeling as that album.

Best part of my week!!!!

One of my favorites songs of all time!

Had to stop half way through the video to listen to this song 3 times

I can't wait for more episodes on this topic.

Loved the video!

I can easily see Joakim as a general, and i would definitely join under his command!

THEYRE FINALLY DOING THE GOOD SONGS!
