The Most Powerful Version: Sabaton - The Future of Warfare 

POV: your a German soldier in 1916 and you see a health bar for a water container

“Hanz.” “Ja.” “Ze building.” “Ja?” “It moves.” “Ja.”

"One stared and stared and stared, as if one had lost the power of one's limbs. The big monsters approached us slowly, but always advancing. Someone shouted, 'The Devil is coming!!!' and word quickly spread across the line." - Otto Schulz, German Infantry at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, 1916

Might be a bit smoother if you first separated Joakim’s voice from the band instruments then added it to the orchestra version.

German Intelligence: "The British are bringing in a mechanized water container." Germans: "Dude was en fick? Lol, cool. We'll get a nice drink after we take their trench." Germans hearing engines and looking over the hill: "---Why does it have guns?"

That solo building into the final chorus line has to be one of the most beautiful things that ever graced my ears.

The singers of war: Joakim: The evil spirits filled with glutton and greed, back-stabbing thoughts, and treacherous sin, doing what their masters say. Floor: The good and wholy spirits that wish to end this tyranny of the Great War and to go back to their families and loved ones, following the orders of their leader to restore peace in Europe.

When soldiers saw tanks for the first time, they probably thought they were fighting a monster.

We need one on Great War.

It sounds like a duet between Joakim and Floor, so powerful! Sadly the orchestra is louder than their voices in it, but what I can hear is EPIC! Keep the work up!

I love the vocal duet in this one. Ghost in the Trenches next, please.

Imagine you're one of the field commanders of the German trenches when you're here. All memes aside; you got news of some broken codes indicating the plans for a mechanized water container, and you see the MK 1s advancing. It's pretty large, at first, and you seem uncertain... in the smoke and dust of the Artillery, you can only make out it's silhouette. The men start shouting things of suspicion and fear, but you order your men to hold..... something's not right. Just what is it that the British are trying to pull? And then, BOOM! The sound of naval guns echo with thunder and doom. Out of the corner of your eye, just as you take cover; you watch as one of your light pillboxes gets blown to smithereens; one of your strongest fortifications, annihilated like it was nothing... The machine gun fire echos with even louder wrath and crossfire, as you realize it sounds almost like MG37s are advancing... Everyone ducks out of instinct, rushing to their positions. Sargeants keep yelling over the artillery "What are your orders? SIR! What are your orders?!!" ... You remain silent. You don't know what to say. The meetings, the assessment of your resources; nothing prepared you for THIS... You don't know what to do. You really don't. The Sargeants meet eyes with you; they sense what's going on in your head. It finally hits the both of you... just how fucked you and your men are. The Sargeants grit their teeth, and they move out in the Trenches; mentally preparing themselves to resist to the very end, and throw everything they got at these new "Tanks". Hell has come to your doorstep. You're covered in mud, and not at all prepared for Guests. And it's knock.. is that of the might of the British Navy.

In my opinion, here's what I think of this: If this was a game the intro would be a build-up for the boss level(s). In a movie, it would make for a fantastic film opening (with, or without vocals).

Sabaton x Nightwish needs to happen! Imagine Joakim and Floor doing a duet together LIVE. I hope that will be on Sabaton's next album.

Can you imagine if Sabaton did an entire tour with nothing but orchestral instruments to play their music?

I’ve never felt goosebumps throughout an entire song before, well done

By far the best one you made

MORE WE NEED MORE OF THIS KIND!

Lol "little willie" is in left background!

I got chills down my body after hearing this..

This also makes me think of the wars i served in Afghanistan and Iraq and what we went through in those conflicts love the group their music speaks to all generations

Ww1 tanker: AH I love the smell of a overclocked glowing red Diesel engine in the morning

A bit messy sometimes but omg the transition @2:57 so guud

God this brought tears to my eyes because this is so beautiful

CONSECRATED IN FORGE SHRINES, BLESSED BY THE OMNISIAH, IMMUNE TO ALMOST ALL WEAPONS OF THE ENEMY, THE BANEBLADE, THE FUTURE OF WARFARE.

Love the art btw

Love all ur Sabaton

This version better then original.

Underrated

Alright Song Breaker Workbench, if you ever see this, I would love to see the notes for the instruments on it and would pay to get them to try and get my band to play it.

more plz!!!!!

Epic

Bro you gotta do ghost division ! It's already epic as hell as it is, but with your skill .. Make us happy !

epic

I'd recommend making it a bit louder. I have my headset on with maxed audio and it doesn't sound that loud.

The germans gangsta till they see that the enemy bunkers were getting closer.

Everybody gangsta until the water container starts shooting at you

“Hans?” “Yes?” “Why is the enemy bunker getting closer?”

WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! Joakim and Floor!!

Not gonna lie the Germans were probably very scared of the first encounter against the armored tank, imagine fighting then out of nowhere the sound of firing rifles are covered up by one continuous roaring and clanking of metal. Shiver me to know.

Si conseguis pulirlo mas, en especial la voz de Joakim, quedaria perfecto.

"1914. How peculiar that a single bullet can trigger a chain of events that would change the world forever. Nations will be torn apart, Empires will fall and an entire continent will be set ablaze in the wake of this event. Allies has a triggered in a chain reaction, resulting in a war that sweeps across Europe like a merciless plague. Armies will destroy the land, soldiers dig endless trenches and the shells will leave scars on earth for generations to come. We will also see the birth of some of the most devastating inventions mankind has ever conceived. Born in factories, delivered by engineers, immune to the bullets of the regular soldier, unbothered by the burners of the land... the tank. The future of warfare."

Can you do one for Cliffs of Gallipoli?

Ah the good old shovel, the standard method of planetary defense in a grim dark universe where there are super advanced weapons and literal daemons that can crack entire planets like an egg.

This is really good! It all good if I use this for a video?

When your moving Toaster Fights the Moving Box

Simone Simons of Epica I see laddie great touch 🤘🍻 Seen both lads live in Stockholm & Oslo, but together sounds even more.enthralling 😂

I wonder if you'll do Swedish Pagans.

What songs/videos did you use to combine this?

This song has made me cry. WOW!

Can you please post this stuff to Amazon Music?

Sparta pleasseeeeeeee

Me and the boys realizing the bunker across no mans land is now moving towards us

when your the only jet fighter in World of Warplanes:

Tiger E in War Thunder like it

The germans all gangster until the water tanks began to charge through no man's land.

You made a mix with a Epica song, I hear the voice of Simone Simons, but which song is it?

Who wins? A platoon(s) of 200 well-trained soldiers? Or two armored tractors with guns?

“Hans” “Ya” “Ze Water Containers” “Ya” “Ze Water Containers just killed Fritz” “Schize”

British crossing no mans land germans sees them beat drop.....tank

Can you make the original vocals just a little louder.

Luckily the Miller lite ad is only six secs. Still, I will not carry Miller and bud light if I ever own a bar.🙂

Steel commanders

Can I use this for a video I'm making?

fun fact, this battle ended the same day i was born

Dlaczego to tak siedzi

POV : your a Russian soldier seeing the hole of every fandoms charging at you with full arsenal of working weapons from gaming video game modes and other game weapons that actually work . And the elemental ability’s and other abilities from those franchises . And there gods behind them and the demons to

nevermind, still saying you shouldnt have fadeout the male voice during the parts where the female voice is.

Why do i hear boss music?

This song gives me cod world at war flashback

Could you do a version with only Joakim singing? The chorus really ruins the song for me.

Only one thing I didn't like about thus version: the woman's voice was louder than Joakim.

Ah the Mark I ‘female’

Nooooooooo you ruined the machinery sounding bit at the beginning reeeeeeee

this is the 4th sabaton song I've listened to you change and I'm beginning to think I don't like it when you add things to sabaton. I'm sure you're doing a good job and it's probably not easy to add things to metal music, but the added vocals actually made me flinch when I heard them. Not a good addition.

This version sucks i reported it youtube needs to take this down

Might be a bit smoother if you first separated Joakim’s voice from the band instruments then added it to the orchestra version.
