This song is about Belgium at the beginning of WWI, they flooded the river to stop the Germans from conquering the entirety of Belgium. The lyrics of this song eerily fall in line with what is happening in Ukraine.

[@TheDarkstormy]

Belgium flooded Yser in 1914. Ukraine flooded Irpin in 2022

[@thisrandomperson1472]

@@TheDarkstormy Tsar burnt Moscow so Napoleon couldn't have it. Stalin did it again but I forgot where. If it worked before back then, do it again

[@andrews.5212]

Well the Belgian weren't a pack of nazist burning children alive...unlike the ukronazi

[@jefrosiers8880]

as a belgian I got to say that there is only one king I can say I am proud of and that was Albert 1, who together with his wife fought in ww1 alongside his troops

[@titaniac3037]

It's a sign of a good leader when they're willing to battle with those who they lead. Rather than having an ego trip and sending out their soldiers as victims because they have a bruised ego. Albert 1 was a very good king/leader based on this song, because he was willing to fight with his soldiers. Rather than sitting back and controlling them like a game of chess.

[@chriso6719]

This is the fourth single from the newest album, The War to End All Wars. In case someone hasn't requested them, I'll recommend the first 3. Christmas Truce, Soldier of Heaven, and The Unkillable Soldier. Current drummer Hannes Van Dahl joined in 2014.

[@2104dogface]

i 2nd all those songs

[@vegvisir9276]

King Albert was one hell of a king, standing alongside his men on the frontlines, kings that like haven't been seen since the Medieval times. Damn good man and a damn fine king.

[@1320crusier]

Carolous Rex who is the last head of state to be killed on the battlefield.

[@Plecin_]

Joakim and the war against his leg 😂

[@lewycraft]

Song overall is about battle at Yser and flooding that river on command of Belgians king Albert I, who in that way wanted to prevent German troops from capturing all that was left from Belgium. Battle was the titular end of the Race to the Sea, which is a name given to the constant maneuver war that was happening on the Western front in 1914, with both Entente and German forces trying to outflank one another, constantly marching further north to the North Sea.

[@helheimx]

I you want to hear about the gear the used for this shoot, Joakim talks abouts this in his interview with Tank the Tech (Backlounge podcast)

[@Stormerevets]

Welcome back SC! Keep these videos coming!

[@Djuuugarn]

You need to be aware of the fact that you cannot make enough Sabaton reactions. Please do more ASAP!!

[@zerg539]

This song is one that gets lodged in your brain and you will find yourself absentmindedly mumbling the lyrics and doing a little headbang days after last hearing it.

[@MichaelJones-mc7ud]

I will admit that this song gets stuck in my head a lot and I do find myself humming the song all day.

[@otto3623]

Good to see you back!

[@SC_Archive]

Good to be back!!

[@zachm2331]

“The Race to the Sea” is the name given to a series of flanking maneuvers performed by both British-Franco forces and the Imperial German Army on the opposing force, from 17th September to 19th October 1914 during the First World War. Though the song is about the flooding of the Belgian coast, which happened during the “Race to the Sea.”

[@Nighteye2]

Great to see you back! For the beanie: Planeswalker - Oath of the gatewatch ^_-

[@Slick-ng5kf]

Glad you all are back…this song is super catchy (as are most of Sabaton’s songs). This battle was quite important for Belgium to remain a sovereign nation and the king at the time was fighting along side his army to try and save what they could of their country. That’s what the last part “kings and soldiers fighting shoulder to shoulder “ referencing. Thanks for making me go and revisit your song now on my autographed CD and count it out 😂. Also, does Bassist have an alter ego like ‘Twon, Taco Time, etc. 🤘

[@SC_Archive]

We’ll have to find out if Cobi has an alter ego 🙃🙃

[@2104dogface]

also the King had his son (think he was about 12ish) in the the fight as his runner

[@SymphonicEllen]

I liked this one, too. Have you ever reacted to any Majestica? Tommy Johannsen, the lead guitarist, sings lead for it. Their video to Above the Sky is insane. I had to check it live cause that is an incredibly fast bass line, but sure enough, yea they definitely playing it. Easier to hear it on official video though. Just a thought. Good to see y'all! XOXO

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

Great suggestion!🤘

[@is6031]

You're back guys? Helll yahhh

[@charliethetraveller]

We need a reaction to Stormtroopers. Book it Beanie of Justice

[@birdbranch]

The lefty drummer is Floor Jansens husband Hannes van Dahl.

[@stalinsoulz7872]

Belgian chad king be like: don't worry guys, I'm already drowning the bastards at Yser! So what about racing to the sea again?

[@Nem01]

I wrote with Sabaton because I loved the song and Video but was horrified for the Instruments and Equipment. They answered 'Yeah, they were a bit soggy afterwards.'😂

[@Nem01]

Nice reaction.

[@awesomelana7227]

Speaking of rivers…. Diana Ankudinova has a song called “River”. You should check it out.

[@CHR1SXIV]

Welcome back! Please do react to Gojira - The Gift Of Guilt (Live at Brixton Academy, London) or Gojira - The Art Of Dying Live

[@RandomManIncorperated]

The Song Is Also About The King Of Belgium Albert The 1st Fighting Along Side His Men Into Battle. Belgium's King Doesn't Hide Like A Coward Like Most Leaders HE'D RATHER FIGHT LIKE A MAN & JOIN HIS BROTHERS INTO BATTLE TO KEEP BELGIUM FREE

[@ankhor9252]

Beanie of Justice is it's common name. It has a mystery name that unlocks it's powers to see into the dressing rooms of metal bands. But you can't put that on KZbin. Anyway it's super cool to see the band now at full force.

[@shashankkurrey9255]

This song and solo was awesome, but u should also react on sabaton "Christmas truce".

[@sandy1653]

Those were actual tour instruments that were going to be retired.

[@HelmetmanTheSwede]

I would really recommend you watch the history episode on their history channel

[@nighthaste4311]

Soldier of Heaven by Sabaton please

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@DaPikaGTM]

I would recommend Judicator - Let There Be Light. It's not about the bible, despite what the name may suggest, the album it's comes from is about the Byzantine general Flavius Belisarius.

[@devilrag]

Sabaton waisted the instruments in the video. A set of instruments due for retirement, according to Joakim, probably destined to be video shooting instruments from now on. Cool but what a privilege to be able to do that with such fine instruments!

[@helheimx]

You need to put Bloodywood Ari Ari or Aaj in the Beannie

[@ullis5125]

Fun to hear u talk about drummer without mention his wife…. 🤣

[@randalladams7692]
