FOLLOW THE CIPHER - Carolus Rex (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@hawtdawg8049]

*Sees video in side bar* *Doesn't see Sabaton in the title* "Hol up..."

[@Dezmond2inbox]

Guitarist Ken Kängstörm co-wrote the song some years ago with SABATON vocalist Joakim Brodén. Now this anthem has also found its place on "Follow The Cipher".

[@alik5972]

Dude literally both versions give me chills. I can't imagine how would I feel if I was Swedish.

[@swedishgooner6339]

I'm swedish and it makes my blood boil

@@swedishgooner6339 Oh that. I thought you got pissed off at the band or Karl Gustaf lmao

[@MrZnaciMarko]

It’s weird hearing this song sung by a (great) female vocalist after hearing it hundreds of time in Joakim’s rough vocals. Good cover!

[@gavin3488]

"Joakim's rough vocals" is describing him in grandeur. Joakim's voice is enough to describe his voice. He does make some nice music, if one is in the mood for a flat toned chant with metal in the background. But yes this is a nice change.

[@Northlander75]

It´s not a fucking cover.

[@Northlander75]

How do you know that this isn´t the original? And they just sabatonized it for sabaton!

[@charlesgoodroejr9540]

+Fredrik Nordlander Because Sabaton recorded it two years before this band was formed

[@Northlander75]

Yes! but Ken co-wrote this song, so its not a cover when the singer,songwriter,guitarist plays his own song.

[@stenjohansson9360]

The Swedish carolean reanactors are members of KERC - Kongliga Elfborghs Regementes Caroliner. Pär Sundström of Sabaton asked if it was OK for Cipher to use this material, and as you can see, it was. :-)

[@daspotato895]

Sten Johansson Reanacting a Karoliner must be great fun.

[@blakedurston]

So does Sabaton have like inside men within the reanactors and they have to ask for them? XD

[@stenjohansson9360]

@@blakedurston Well, not anymore. That was my idea, but sadly some others in the group said no. So I left the Group. If I can, I will create a new Group, and if and when Sabaton want carolean solider on stage, they will get Soldiers.

[@stenjohansson9360]

@@daspotato895 Yes, it was. I left the Group after they stopped a couple of works for Heavy metal bands. Among them Follow the Cipher.

Sabaton has peaked lads! People are doing covers of Sabaton, this is what we have been waiting for. Sabaton are now certified legends.

Not *really* a cover, their lead guitar player wrote this song

[@MadBrainBox]

One of the best Sabbaton songs.And this cover does it justice.

[@ondrejweisbauer1589]

MadBrainBox Sabaton is only with one B

[@MadBrainBox]

Indeed.I thought it had a double b for some reason.

[@martijndegroot1593]

Probably from black saBBath or something

[@carolusrex4485]

It’s spelled with one b *TRIGGERED*

[@RodrigoR9]

So their lead guitar player actually wrote this song

[@Umbruhh]

Sabaton: Warhammer 40k Follow The Cipher: Warhammer Fantasy

[@stevenvaughn7159]

... you stop that

[@peterretep6251]

I don't think so, man. Warhammer (AoS) is now a run down system that used to be a much more complex system than 40k. If you than see that 40k was sci-fi clone of Warhammer and not vise versa you comparison meen that Sabaton covered of Follow the Cipher. You should at least invert your comparision or even bedder find a bedder one, because imo Sabaton ist not a run down system that once used to be good. They are still awesome. If you mean that the Sabaton version is bedder that the cover, i don't totaly agree with you. It depends on the mood, even if most of the time I prefer the original one.

[@Umbruhh]

@@stevenvaughn7159 I think you're confusing something, I'm not saying Follow The Cipher or Warhammer Fantasy is bad. I'm saying this song would suit Fantasy more.

[@kurtberliner7049]

I will always love sabaton's version, but this one is another type of tone. While Sabatons is more militaristic, with the pacing and such, as this one is more of telling the tale of an Epic, of a Legend, of Carolus Rex's Myth.

[@othmanechenguiti8119]

The instrumental section is similar to Sabaton's but Linda's vocals make it so much different, so sick!!! I usually hate covers but this one is just amazing!! Great work guys, you're the best

Even Sabaton's cover of Twilight of The Thundergod?

[@davidhenriksson285]

I am not a Cipher fanboy so I have to ask... Cant you hear the extreme amount of echo? Why praise a fraud? And if she isnt a fraud, why are you praising that she lowers her standard to Brittney Spears level of awfulness? Nasal singing with overflowing echo and choir to carry the song
