Grailknights - Pumping Iron Power (feat. Joakim Brodén from Sabaton)

[@veritech4884]

There are really two Joakims. One is the robot you see before you. He exists to call us to be more badass. He is summoned by true badassery, such as knee-banging, or performing a song so awesome he cannot resist joining. The other is an ancient bardic god. He exists to memorialize the badasses who came before. He is summoned through the ancient ritual of performing one of these legendary songs your way.

So this isn't the show's theme or even it's outro. This is the music that plays when the protagonists are in a fight against this week's badguy. The lyrics don't actually kick in until after the song break where the villain starts beating them down and the Grailknights need to use their Ultimate Finishing Move on them to win. The full lyrical version doesn't play in the show, but in the movie where they have to defeat MetalJoakim and return him to his senses.

I love how average people doesn't like metal because they think it's too dark and about only growling. However the most popular power metal bands like Sabaton, Powerwolf or Grailknights actually have 10x more melody in their songs than in average popular songs recently. I don't really care about the genre until the song has a really good, catchy melody, so songs like this make me very happy.

[@Murmarine]

Not to mention how unapologetically stupid most power metal bands lyrics are. I mean come the fuck on, "Resurection by Erection" has to be the most asinine and metal thing in the universe.

[@2009heyhow]

Metal can go very dark, but so can every genre. I mean.., listening to the average radio channel these days is just depressing with songs about loss and broken hearts. Then i luckily have power metal to cheer me up again.

[@gavinrockne2145]

I saw Joakim and I thought "Oh this can't get anymore metal!" and then it did. Literally.

[@darklordofwolves8106]

At last joakim's knees can stand the constant slapping now

[@JamesWilhelm-g6k]

Now see that's something awesome the whole family can enjoy!

[@robbert-janmerk6783]

I love the jiggly dance of the Joachim robot :P

[@jakecarter981]

Anybody notice him doing the fistpound on the thigh like Joakim does? It gets better every time I watch it!

[@edgunderson6570]

Grailknights simply does not get enough love. Great band.

[@toddbatchelder9380]

This is by far the manliest song I've heard.

[@upandomentes121]

LYRICS Thunder racing through our veins One breath provokes a storm Lightning floods the iron chains Our limbs start to deform Voltage boils our blood in seconds Let us now nourish on its sting Feast on its sting We face the heat and fight the storm Raging in our head We walk this road and won't step back Till we're among the dead Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour Pumping iron power We put our hand on iron bars And lift them to the sky We scream out loud And fight the weights Adrenaline makes us fly While we watch our muscles growing They grow larger than they should Than muscles should We face the Heat and fight the storm Raging in our head We walk this road and won't step back Till we're among the dead Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour Pumping iron power Push - You're a war machine Sweat - The world has never seen Pain - Is your destiny Scorn - Lasts eternally Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour Pumping iron power Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour By the hands of power Thunder racing through our veins One breath provokes a storm Lightning floods the iron chains Our limbs start to deform Voltage boils our blood in seconds Let us now nourish on its sting Feast on its sting We face the heat and fight the storm Raging in our head We walk this road and won't step back Till we're among the dead Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour Pumping iron power We put our hand on iron bars And lift them to the sky We scream out loud And fight the weights Adrenaline makes us fly While we watch our muscles growing They grow larger than they should Than muscles should We face the Heat and fight the storm Raging in our head We walk this road and won't step back Till we're among the dead Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour Pumping iron power Push - You're a war machine Sweat - The world has never seen Pain - Is your destiny Scorn - Lasts eternally Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour Pumping iron power Flex - muscles tight Made of steel Flesh delight We are born, out of storm and thunder Raised, tear the world asunder Send, in the darkest hour By the hands of power

[@GoodAvatar]

I like this. I'm not sure how ironic or sincere I am in my enjoyment either. This forces my entertainment to mostly focus around the bizarre. Fun stuff. This song is a Grilled Cheese Sandwich on top of a Cheese Quesadilla on top of a 5 Cheese Pizza covered in Nacho Cheese. This song makes no pretense of being un-cheesy. It just goes for it, and that earns my respect.

[@theinquisitionsparrot6749]

GoodAvatar it’s so cheesy that I had to watch a lactose intolerance version of this video

[@lazydragon2551]

The literal theme song of working out.

[@pritkon8622]

It's the 3rd band i've discovered thanks to Sabaton. Who'd think, that some swedes will gift me with so much Metal?

[@7636kei]

gift/poison pun intended, I presume? XD

[@pritkon8622]

7636-kei! No, i mean that thanks to Sabaton that 2 years ago were just some swedes i now am a metal fan.

[@7636kei]

pritkon Ah :)

[@MarkusxJxKeetz]

pritkon well, they say that Sweden is the power metal/metal capital of the world

[@enzovignati]

**Metal Joakim advertisement** Me: I TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!

[@KronoLight]

What I'm getting from this is "Get those gains so you can flex on the end of the world"

[@Jokoko2828]

Ayup, flex your way through the apocalypse.

[@harbl99]

Beast of the Abyss? Noodle-armed featherweight!

[@ALBERTOERSA]

There is a purity to that message isnt there?

[@Kylekanzler]

How can such a headbanger of an intro possibly exist..

[@Alsh-nz2my]

Combo! It's all I love! retrowave + power metal + Joakim Joaster

[@Stan_Delone]

Metal Joakim cracks me up every time he's on screen.

[@talos2384]

You got heavy metal in my Saturday morning cartoons!

[@alexturner8127]

Its confirmed...Joakim is a fucking Terminator.

[@peris_arts_film9699]

Guy in gym works out to song ( who also happens to be a huge sabaton fan ) starts lifting weights about a min into the song hears joakim brodén immediately drops bar on chest in absolut surprise

[@speed65752]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DehnusNorder]

Well, I guess they people behind the next Kung Fury Movie know who to contact for a themesong XD.

[@ComradePhoenix]

My therapist: "Terminator Joakim isn't real and can't hurt you" Terminator Joakim: 1:30

[@valkoinensusi1386]

Its aweasome for me cause I Was falling to sleep while watching videos so my brother showed me this and my tireness went away and then I saw animated Broden and I was like “AAAAAAHHH” yes. I am a fangirl of Broden

[@Kolossus_]

Heard this song for the first time a week ago and thought "that sounds way too much like Joakim, but Spotify doesn't say he's featured so I had to look it up and I was gladly right. I can tell that thundering voice from anywhere.

[@fredmcdaniel1450]

How is this not the greatest music video of all time!

[@danielortman2534]

Probably because Christmas Truce exists.

[@Gokes93]

1:08 This is actually really how Joakim's mouth moves when he sings English, true story.

[@roberth4395]

Nothing can stop the Grailknights! Except maybe high humidity.

[@TheMightyDM]

I clicked this for Joakim. Now I'm gonna have to look up some more from these guys.

[@KosmosDream]

I can’t stop watching this !

[@Sunnysideanyway]

I love this song so much, because it is not only motivational, but just funny. It's just such a fun song to listen to at the gym.

[@GreatgoatonFire]

So I checked out some of the older Grailknight songs on this channel and I got to say. This sound fits their Superhero Metal gimmick much better than the more Death Metal sound their older songs has. Great song BTW.

[@walterlopez5054]

agreed

[@rhyanbennett2629]

This is art.

[@truesoprano2152]

Weird, I don't remember smoking anything today...

[@ethanor]

Don't worry, the band smoked plenty for all of us

[@harbl99]

Were we're going we don't need smokes...

[@kriegofficer7682]

I'VE SPENT THE GODDAMN WEEK TRYNA FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET A METAL JOAKIM. I STILL WANT IT.

[@The_mechanick]

Every time I watch this I get a little bit more depressed that those action figures don't actually exist for sale. I love this song so so much.
