This is my FIRST TIME hearing "Defence of Moscow" by SABATON | (REACTION!!)

[@shyferr]

If you couldn’t tell, the solo included the national anthem of the Soviet Union.

[@SimonHelling]

Goddamn Right it does!

Oh is THAT where the soviet anthem is? I knew it wad in the song somewhere but hadn’t actually found out where

Hi Alex! This song is a cover of the Russian artist RADIO TAPOK. He did covers of sabaton, but they decided to do it in return. Listen to him, please, you won't regret it. Best regards from Russia

[@PetterVessel]

And Sabaton did that eastern egg in their guitar solo. Brilliant.

Sabaton has a unique ability to make me feel pride for countries I’m not from and have no ties to whatsoever.

[@BrokenRazorButterfly]

Because their song arent actually about being patriotic to any country but rather about all the times humans overcame something big by being a nation united, no matter what nation your from, the idea of humans working together will always hit hard

[@TheBuilding899]

There is a funny fact: the real author of this song is a Russian artist Radio Tapok, and Sabaton made a cover of his song :D (strongly recommend orig for viewing)

[@cxpKSip]

It was made in the style of Sabaton.

[@FredKroeger]

Alex, what if I tell you that this song is actually a COVER? The song originally was written in Russian by the dude called Radio Tapok, who is famous in Russian KZbin for the russian covers of foreign songs and for rubric “in style of”. “Defense of Moscow” is actually from a video “Writing a song in style of Sabaton”. The band then noticed this song and asked Radio Tapok for cover in English. That’s insane 😂

[@James68W]

Singer: "hey man, I can't figure out what to say here, any ideas?" Guitarist: "just say the location of the battle" Bassist: "yeah and the year, that'll be good" These guys are great 😄

Sabaton is amazing as always. I remember when the song first came out I had actually just finished listening to panzerkampf. Oddly enough. Nice to see you enjoyed it as well. Also a recommendation. Powerwolf just came out with a new song called Dancing with the dead. You should check it out when you get the chance.

2nd part of that solo is Soviet Anthem :)

Another nice touch to this song is the lyric, "All the brave, who stand against, the typhoon wave" refers to the German codename for the assault on Moscow, Operation Typhoon. Also, how cool was it to add the Soviet National Anthem during the guitar part. Epic friggin' song!

[@pablodominguezantuna3363]

Amazing song and amazing reaction. If you're in the Sabaton mood, I suggest you to react to their song "Night Witches", is incredibly epic and the historical facts behind it are super dope! They have the classic lyrics version of the song and an animated story version with a long intro explaining who the Night Witches were. You should definitely check it even if you're not going to react to it ^^
