Album Listening Party #1 - PRIMO VICTORIA (25 years of Sabaton)

[@LeasBibleBabble]

For a lot of years ago I’ve got Primo Victoria as my cell phone signal… back then I sang in a church choir and forgot to turn off my cellphone and of course could the whole church hear: “Through the gates of hell…”

The best Sabaton show I've seen was when they were supposed to open for Judas Priest in Denver but someone in Judas Priest had a heart attack. Sabaton made a last minute appearance and it was just Sabaton. It was a crazy energy and you could tell the band really enjoyed themselves. I don't think that show can be topped for me personally. Congratulations on 25 years and here's to 25 more!

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Jesus Christ that's awesome

[@rkitchen1967]

I was going to take my son to a later show on that tour, but it was cancelled. I should have known that Sabaton would do something considerate like that. 😊

I am so mad I missed that show. I had tickets, but because I had some family obligations to attend to after the show, once I heard it was canceled, I got a refund. It wasn't until later that I saw that their show was still on.

[@Silenthero66]

I'm a new fan, from earlier this year. I've not listened to *every* song but the large bulk of every album. They've very quickly become my favourite band of all time.

[@dragonsoul2008]

Primo Victoria..... Through the gates of hell on our way to Heaven... Every Combat Veterans Mantra this should be. It is mine. SABATON Quickly became a favourite of mine when I first heard them 3 years ago. I unfortunately missed them when they came to Australia recently as they played at a festival, and I unfortunately have PTSD in crowds. SABATON Much Light, Love, and Balance. And 25+ More Years 🤘🤘🤘

[@miiah7475]

[@Hockeydude85]

I only recently got into Sabaton during the Covid lockdown. Once I was 3 albums deep (the most recent), I had to hear them all. My jaw dropped when I heard the early stuff. Amazing music. I love The Art of War. Being a Canadian of Polish descent, I actually teared up hearing 40:1 for the first time. Cheers, Sabaton 🥃

[@joakimbroden5542]

Polish Canadian you say? Give ”Aces in Exile” a listen if you haven’t 🤘

[@theskyisteal8346]

I'm not Polish and I tear up every time I listen to 40:1. Uprising too.

I'm a big history nut and I was amazed when I found sabaton and I'm glad because not only learning more history but also sharing it with others with music is priceless

I'm 17 years old and my first album i have ever listen to was actually Primo Victoria. My parents both showed me Sabaton when I was about 5-6 years old. I grew up listing to Primo Victora, Purple heart or Wolfback,.. or when we talk about other stuff like 40:2 or Poltava. Since then I never stop listing to your music. I loved this type video, because I also became many flashback just like you guys did

Tell me, was Joakim cringing the whole time from hearing his awesome voice through the albumn. He truly carries power into the songs. Nothing to be ashamed about. It was a fun video to watch guys. Can't wait for the next one. You guys have done a great job in 25 years. Hope we get to have you for another 25!

[@wendehoogendoorn9193]

My personal favourite is probably Stalingrad. I love the switch-ups in the music and the way Joakim sings the bridge! Also, this is (somewhat surprisingly) nice to have on in the background when studying for an upcoming exam lol!

[@magicstani7957]

Уже какой год я праздную его в исполнении сабов! С наступившим Новым Годом, желаю вам всем всего самого наилучшего в этом году! А ещё с 25-ти летием любимая группа, желаю вам также всего наилучшего, ещё больше отличных песен, настроения и продуктивности в работе!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I'm 20 now and have been listening to sabaton since I was 12, I love this band.

[@occido]

Closing in on 25 personally and listening since 13-14. Still by far my favorite.

[@Taltosmaster]

I'm going with Joakim on this one, Primo Victoria is my favourite. Actually, it is my all-time favourite Sabaton song. 10 years ago when I was an accountant I used to listen to Primo Victoria on repeat during every month-end closing Friday for hours and hours. (The work itself was 6-7 hours of constant email and chat barrage with 100-250 bookings, then 2-4 more hours of reconciliations - so “Through the gates of hell” resonated well with it. And the song's tempo was perfect to set the necessary pace for me.) No idea how many times I heard it, never got tired of it. Congrats on 25 years guys, may it be another 25 at least! :))

In September 2023, I came the first time across Sabaton, and I immediately loved the music, although I had never liked Harvey Metal music before. But as long I can think I've been interested in history and Saboton became my favourite music. There isn't one single song I don't like, and every song tells a new story. Please keep on, guys!

[@taylorabel4607]

Just wanted to say thank you for combining my to favorite things (history and music) and doing it well + with accuracy

When it comes to my favourite on this album, I'm gonna have to go with Into the Fire (just like Tommy). It was the number 1 surprise on the setlist of the most recent tour, where you played it because fans were asking for something older and faster, and I completely fell in love with the song hearing it live on my very first Sabaton concert in Hamburg (and for a second time a week later in Hannover). It's not just my favourite song of the album, but one of my favourite Sabaton songs in general ever since.

[@adaliadurron6111]

♥ I love hearing you guys just talking about your stuff, just talking in general. It's like listening to friends, and I love that.

25 years? Wow... 2 years older than me 😂 Congratulations Sabaton! If it weren't for my history teacher in high school I probably would have never found you - every time I listen to your songs I get filled with excitement. It's a feeling I can't really explain - but God damn... Thank you! Here's to another 25, can't wait to see you old and grey yet still just as good if not better ❤

[@thegurem]

Damn, watching this made me remember how much i listened to this album when i was younger, and seeing sabaton at Garage in Bergen, Norway. I think there might have been 200 people attending. We screamed so hard for attero dominatus, i couldnt talk properly for days. And getting epic fistbumps from the band, because the "stage" was like, 40 cm tall, and there was only a fence separating us. Good memories. I think it was 2010, or before.

[@SabatonRandomImages]

Probably won't be able to see this live since I'll be asleep by the time it starts. Just dropping by to say hi.

Favorite? Hmmm, .... Primo Victoria is a close second to Wolfpack. I find that it resonates with me because my late father served in the USN in WWII on a 'tin can' (AKA destroyer) seeing action in the North Atlantic & Pacific theaters, and part of my professional career included sonar design & applications along with ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare)!
