Sabaton don't block videos. They instead encourage people to react and share. As long as you pick videos from their own channel you're safe. Only the live stuff from Wacken can be a little effy because there Wacken have a word.

[@istrysii]

becouse Sabaton have there on Label is the own ... :)

[@dingodelta]

This is 100% Accurate, they actually went over that in the Camouflage magazine they make. The question was asked "There are so many people that react to your music on KZbin do you think that's a good thing?" Joakim responded: "Of course! we have a fan base, and I'm sure the people who react and share their songs do too. We love to teach history in what we call a primal form....with metal music we find it keeps the attention of people and people always say to us, we listen your song and we went and did research we learnt a whole lot, so in a video that's maybe a couple of minutes long people will remember the things they learnt always. Interviewer: "The reactors think they will have their videos removed from KZbin because of copyright will this happen? Joakim: "We own Nuclear Blast records we have had KZbin emails saying that your song appeared in this video do you wish to Claim the rights and we always....always respond with No!, we enjoy the feedback we enjoy the creativity we ourselves watch the reactions so why would we want to do that. If KZbin ever copyright claims a reactor then we ask them to reach out to us and we will put it right.

[@NataschaS195]

Sabaton is from Sweden, founded in 1999. Most of their songs are war-history based. I learned more about history from their songs than from school. You should listen to "Race to the see" and "Resist and Bite" that are both songs about Belgium history. If you like epic music videos I recommend "Christmas Truce" And they have a history channel called Sabaton History, where they explain the history behind their songs. P.s. your german sounds pretty good 👍

[@SailorYuki]

They do have songs that aren't war-themed. It's just that those songs are from the time before they decided on direction for the band. Metall Machine is one of my favorites, you can make a game of catching all the heavy metall/hard rock references and easter eggs.

[@NataschaS195]

@@SailorYuki that's true, the earlier songs and covers. But that are not the songs most people do reactions to. Metal Machine is indeed a great one 😁👍

[@Taniks_Kell_of_Telesto]

Not ALL songs are war history, they have a song commemorating the bands that inspired them

[@MartinFransson]

I recommend the animated version of "No bullets fly" by Sabaton. Such a fascinating story.

The skipper in the intro is the son of the last survivor, who died in 2018. The pocket compass is a true relic from the Bismarck, engraved with the position. Joakim Brodén, lead singer and a founder member. I believe his tattoos has a Maorian or Pacific origin. Pär Sundström, bass also a founding member. Those two write most songs. Chris Rörland guirar on Joakims left, joined 2012. Hannes Van Dahl drummer and married to Floor Jansen. Joined 2013 Last, but not the least, he is 1.95 cm tall Tommy Johansson guitar. Tommy is a musical world of himself, also fronting his own band Majestica and doing solowork on his own channel. New release every week. Recommend his Phantom of the Opera, where he sings both parts himself. Incredible range we don't hear much of in Sabaton as Joakim has the perfect voice for their music.

[@bradstefnitz9690]

Awesome reaction man. 🤘 I think Christmas Truce would be a magnificent follow-up to Bismarck to really highlight the variety of their music but also their ability to gut-punch you with an extremely emotional story. Keep up the dope reactions! 🤙

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

I second that proposal and follow it up with the animated story videos for No Bullets Fly, Night witches, and Lady of the Dark - in that order. Tissues are strongly recommended - for the first one in particular. Also: Make sure to watch the video to the very end. They like to hide easter-eggs in there.

They sing about war and important historical events..perfekt historylessons ❤

[@vasilnanev-peltekov1786]

Brother , welcome to Sabaton world. They are singing for Great wars,and many wars from the past, without taking any side. They are from Sweden. The drummer Hannes is husband of the Goddess Floor Jansen , to which you already got introduced. Nice reaction , and keep them up, Sabaton worth it. Also Tommy their lead guitarist got one of the best solo's in the industry. Greetings from Bulgaria

[@deniseduncan7363]

The name of the boat is Primo Victoria. Another of their songs. Recommeded looks Christmas Truce, 1916, Race to the sea. They also have another channel called Sabaton History for those deep dives on their music's inspirations

[@1982jeepcj8]

All Sabaton's songs deserve promotion, and understanding, of the the tales they tell, at the end of each video is the Sabaton history channel that in detail explains the history. Since your Belgian. You will appreciate Sabaton song Race to the Sea. And associated history youtube video. The ship captain I s the son of the last Bismark survivior, the ship is named primo victory after Sabatons song about D day1944, it is remoured that they made this video above the Bismark's final resting place. SABATON and their label, nuclear blast, do not copy right strike reaction videos as they learned a long time ago it's free promotion, be sure to give them credit and thanks. While I think Race to the Sea is something you will like, Sabaton's tribute to Motorhead, covering their song 1916, is my request.

[@brianfite4740]

Resist and Bite also falls into the Belgian column. Little older, but still an awesome song.

[@shawngrothe2686]

Sabaton’s music is almost entirely focused on historical war events/people/military units. No Bullets Fly, Lady of the Dark, 1916, Nightwitches are all great choices for you next one. But Christmas Truce is very good and, it is appropriate for the season.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

agreed. I do strongly recommend tissues for the animated story video of No Bullets Fly though.

[@sunnysidesofblue]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Sabaton! As others have probably already told you they're a Swedish band, and not only do they write great music, you'll also learn a ton of interesting history listening to them, as basically all their songs are about military history in one form or another. They even have a history channel with videos detailing the story and historical facts behind their songs. Since it's Christmas soon I highly recommend checking out Christmas Truce, which is another great song and video by them. Other songs I personally like a lot are Soldier of Heaven, The Last Stand, Primo Victoria, The Red Baron, No Bullets Fly (the animated video is amazing!), Race to the Sea and Winged Hussars.

[@czescwaszejpamiecizonierze7427]

Man if you're Belgium then "Race to the sea" and "Resist and Bite" are absolute bangers from them! An absolute must watch! Love your reactions big guy and I'll be looking forward for more ❤

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

There is one song that is even more appropriate - especially given the season. Christmas Truce. Because as far as I am aware, the actual memorial-cross for that event is located in Belgium.

[@g.gordon8117]

Being from Belgium, I suggest "Christmas Truce" Motor Head tribute "1916" will shake you. They have their own History Channel also. Sabaton History. All the music is historical, correct, military based from year 0 to 2023. Also there Drummer Hannes Van Dahl is married to Floor Jansen of nightwish. Great reaction, new sub. Hello from Florida USA.

[@gryphonosiris2577]

More than just shake, it will make your soul weep.

[@mavfin8720]

Two of the best other than this one are 'Christmas Truce' and 'The Last Stand' Sabaton sings about history, but they don't take sides, they just tell the story. The video was done by World of Warships, for this song. The old guy in the video is not the guy who escaped the Bismarck...but I've been told he's a descendant of a Bismarck crewman.

[@jp3933]

From their homepage "In the pivotal year of 2005, we unleashed our studio album, “Primo Victoria”. For Sabaton, this was a seismic milestone that reverberated through the very fabric of our existence, forever altering the trajectory of our lives. “Primo Victoria” marked the birth of our musical identity. We had written and composed music prior to it, but never quite like this. It showed the world that we were tackling metal music in an alternative way with alternative methods, armed with a distinct niche: heavy metal infused with fact-based history. “Primo Victoria” pays tribute to events in military history spanning various conflicts around the world. It features powerful, anthemic music and lyrical content based on real wartime experiences. Upon its release, the album struck a chord with both metal enthusiasts and history buffs, and we are beyond happy that it’s still a firm favourite among Sabaton fans today. We hope that we have created something timeless that will continue to resonate with people for decades to come…

[@andy60234]

I was introduced to them with Price of a mile, Christmas truce is awesome and it’s that time of year. Also there cover of Motorheads 1916.

[@nightshade7240]

It's power metal but it's all historical and reality based, except some of the cover songs they've done. Sabaton are one of the best story telling bands in the world. They don't glorify war which is probably why they are so successful. They present the facts as recorded by history. Winged Hussars is probably their most memed song because I don't think there is a single Sabaton video that doesn't have some reference to it. Swedish Pagans is beloved by fans the world over. There are so many amazing songs though. They have songs about most of the major well known heroes from WW1 and 2. They have songs from the view point of just about every nation that has engaged in major conflict. They have one called ballad of Bull which is probably their most unique song because it's about a guy who became a hero without firing a shot, about the Aussie stretcher bearer Leslie "Bull" Allen. He received a silver star from the United States military for his actions. Really starting anywhere in the Sabaton catalogue is great because they have been so fucking prolific. One of their albums has the honour of being the most successful Swedish heavy metal album ever and of course it would be because it is done in English and Swedish and every song on the album "Carolus Rex" is a banger. Hell I listen to it in Swedish and I don't even speak it, it's that fucking good.

[@HeavyTopspin]

Sabaton is their own genre.

[@henrikandersson5098]

”Christmas Truce” and ”Great War”. Two good songs!

[@jeffhall2411]

[@billprice8596]

Welcome to the Sabaton Army! Great reaction! Sabaton is a Swedish metal band. Most of their songs are based on historical events. Since it is Christmas, you should try "Christmas Truce". Then try a live concert video "en livstid i krig". This one is in Swedish so you will need the subtitles. This one will give you a good idea of the fan base Sabaton has.

[@ingvartorma9789]

Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. Even the band name is military inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot. Sabaton has toured with, among others, Iron Maiden, Scorpions and Hammerfall.

[@punkjay4681]

You don't have to fear copyright claims from Sabaton, I think. They have really embraced the reaction community. There are many interviews with the band members on different channels, for example Charismatic Voice. My recommendations would be 40:1 and Uprising. Live versions from the Polish Woodstock festival. The songs are about Poland in WWII and the massive crowd goes absolutely bonkers 😂

[@skylerdixon6779]

I believe they own their copyrights so people can do vids like this

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

yes and no.. As far as I am aware they switched to Napalm Records somewhat recently, and from what i heard those folks are a bit trigger-happy with copyright-claims, even if Sabaton themselves are not. So better safe than sorry.

All of Sabatons music is about warrelated events. I’m not sure but I think they let people react & share the MVs without problem. You should watch ”En livstid i krig” live version with subtitles!!! ”Price of a mile” & their version of ”1916”

[@ozi5269]

Here comes suggestion, SABATON - En Livstid I ​​Krig, must be live from goteborg with close captions on.

[@shimshi2003]

great reaction, every song of sabaton it's an history lesson, be ready for that

[@ordisraru]

Since you're from Belgium, for Sabaton songs I shall recommend "Resist and Bite" (one of their most underrated gems) and "Race to the Sea"

[@andyohil7465]

It’s a swedish band… and welcome to the history world of Sabaton. Next you could do: Christmas Truce (official) or/and “En Livstid I Krig” - live from Gothenburg (always subtitles - this is sung in Swedish) 👍‼️🏆

[@MrCaptainChief]

Great Reaction! It's cool that you pay attention to every detail, 99% of reactors don't even catch the detail with the coordinates on the compass. And I like that you are following the lyrics, most of Sabaton's songs either have captions on their more famous MV's, or they have 2 versions of a song, one being a "Lyric Video" version, which is better for reactors who enjoy the lyrics. Next I would recommend "No Bullets Fly" The Animated Story Video. The song "No Bullets Fly" is one of my favorites, and the animated story video paints the full picture of that incredible story. It has captions for the lyrics and the narrator telling the story. Sabaton is a power metal band from Sweden that sings songs about War. Not to glorify war, but to show the Heroism in war, the Epic Last Stands, and the struggle of doing what's right no matter the cost or odds. Other songs you may check out: "Race to the Sea" and "Resist and Bite" because you are Belgian.

[@stormfistz926]

The man at the beginning of the video with the compass is the son of the man who took the compass off the admiral of the Bismark.

If you do "En livstid i krig - Live in Gothenburg" you have to remember to have the subtitles on since the song is in swedish, and the lyrics ad so much to the experience.

[@AlinaDee]

They're Swedish. Thanks for the reaction 🔥

[@StevenMRA]

As a retired combat veteran I **LOVE** Sabaton's music. They tell the *TRUE* stories from war, and they don't "take sides" - they tell true tales of heroism, mercy, and valor. If I may request - my fav is "No Bullets Fly" (the 8min 50second animated story video) - it tells the true story of a WWII German fighter pilot who saw a *severely* damaged B-17 (American 4-engined bomber) and flew in to finish it off. But when he got closer he could see it was shot to pieces and that the wounded crew was tending to the OTHER wounded crew. He could not shoot it down - so, instead he ESCORTED IT out of Germany to safety. Then, 40 years later the two pilots met and became very close friends.

[@kimdron256]

Race to the Sea is about the belgian king and one of my favorite Sabaton songs

[@logandaley1544]

Two of my favorite songs from Sabaton are 40-1 and Winged Hussars. I’m a sucker for the history and metal combo they do.

[@dew2334]

New subscriber here I think you’re interesting and pretty cool , I highly recommend Sabaton, “No bullets fly” animated story video , Night Witches & Christmas truce

[@najroe]

great reaction, more please. Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 120 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly ,enemy show mercy to injured foes Night witches, young women who fight the Nazi and do it with insane success afains all odss and adversity (discrimination, being given obsolete equipment...) Lady of the dark Red baron , the famous fighter pilot . first soldier , about a unlikely French war hero. Epic ORIGINAL videos. You just saw Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.

[@helheimx]

Defense of Moscow is special since it's a cover of a song that was written to sound like a Sabaton made by a russian youtuber/musician called Radio Tapok Who has performed live with Sabaton, has borroewed one of their video sets for one of his covers.

Fun thing is, i first even heard about sabaton when i was at a festival, gates of metal 2005, they didn't sound amazing or anything, played the small stage, but WHAT catched my ear back then was that they were playing a comedic swedish song: långa bollar på bengt, long balls on bengt. And i kept an eye on them and just grew more and more into them as they progressed, and that is still ongoing. They don't stop growing on me because of their standpoint on war and how they glorify regular people in them but also make kickass music from historical points is amazing, not to mention they are insanely good musicians and performers. They LITERALLY bring people from other countries together more than other bands, i have been to their own festival 5 times, the last 3 times i was there when they played the swedish En livstid i krig i got into groups of people from all over europe singing it in swedish. Also i think you would love: En Livstid I Krig live in gothenburg, have subtitles on and mind the feels in that song!

I've been a Sabaton fan since the early 2000's and I hope you will find the same joy in listening to their music as I have. You've already gotten some really good suggestions but one of my favourite songs is The Last Stand. A song about the attack on Rome in the 1500's.

Hi there, wonderful you found my favourite band. I have been listening to a lot of your, ( specific home free and Dan Vasc) reaction. The lead singer is Joakim Brodén. The old man in the beginning is the son of the young man you got saved from the water. It is one of many epic songs from Sabaton. They tell history in their songs. That Guitarist you heard there is Tommy Johansson. Another extremely good singer who has his own KZbin channel you should check out. As for Sabaton, you are from Belgium, so " the race to the sea" would be very interesting for you because it is Belgium war history. I hope you do a lot more Sabaton songs...

Hi, mede Belg die op de Parking van Antwerpen woont hier! Sabaton heeft ook liedjes over veldslagen die plaatsvinden in België Resist en Bite gaat over de Ardense Jagers die in het begin van WO2 hun bevel om zich terug te trekken niet gekregen hadden omdat de Duitsers hun telefoonkabels hadden doorgeknipt. Ze besloten hun origineel bevel te volgen en vochten met 40 soldaten tegen de Duitsers die met veel meer waren. En ze hebben ze nog 18 dagen kunnen tegenhouden. Race to the Sea gaat over de overstroming van De Ijzer om er voor te zorgen dat het Duitse leger de geallieerden niet kon omsingelen. Screaming Eagles gaat over Amerikaanse soldaten die volledig omsingeld waren in de slag om Bastogne tijdens het Ardennenoffensief van 1945.

YESSSS SABATON!!!! Welcome brother! I am currently on this journey! It is an EPIC journey!

[@MrProthall]

A suggestion because it fits perfectly right now: Sabaton - Christmas Truce. Wonderful song, heartbreaking but wonderful. definitely a staple on any metal christmas-playlist.

[@MrOmfgtacos]

Saw Sabaton a few years ago,they are soo good live. The drummer was on a Tank for the riser haha❤

[@Johnknowsstuff]

Wow, Belgium, and we're having Brussels for Christmas. Spooky! Also, Sabaton's drummer is married to Nightwish's Floor Jansen.

It's really cool.. The line "They are bound by iron and blood" Was a throw back to the original man named Bismarck who unified Germany in 1871 after Prussia (The biggest germen state) won a war against the arch enemy France. In his legendary speech he said: "The big questions of the time will not be decided through speeches or majority decisions, but through iron and blood." Bismarck just had that specific thing to rule a country.. The strongest country at the time with the British Empire. He was a realistic person.. Not optimistic and not pessimistic.. Of course peace is cool and all that stuff.. Bismarck loved peace.. But at the end of the day.. You can't satisfy everyone.. And humanity will fight eventually. Now that doesn't mean you should talk at first.. But at the end of the day.. Iron and blood will decide. That's our sin.. Greetings from Germany 😂❤

40 to 1 is a nice song , The Winged Hussars , To Hell and Back, Carolus Rex. Sabaton is a nice band even after concerts they go out for drinks with the fans . Rammstein , Sabaton , Nightwish are on in a lifetime type of bands.

[@crimson_phoenix3]

love all of your reactions Anthony. sabaton is amazing, it was great watching your face during this, (btw the lead singer is Joakim Broden, he's from Sweden) also need to say that it makes me happy to see you proudly state that you are from Belgium :)

[@craigbolton5093]

And they got the Fairey Swordfishes right- the aeroplane that sunk the most axis shipping in the Atlantic theatre

[@FORN_SIDR]

I actually appreciate that he mentions WHY he pauses the video. So many reaction channels will pause 20 times and also go back 15 seconds in the video to avoid copyright, but they never say they're avoiding copyright. So this guy just seems more transparent by stating it. Props to you, man

[@Cthugni]

Great reaction! And so great to get to know you, Belgian and multilingual. 😀👍 Gotta get behind those diehard fans recomending Christmas Truce. As a belgian you might appreciate that this truce was between belgians and germans if I recall correctly. On the Yser front.

To Hell and Back music video, Devil Dogs Lyric Video, Final Solution Live Version Edit: welcome to the Sabaton Army; Pär is on record pointing out that while Sabaton is often classified as Power Metal they consider themselves Heavy Metal since they don't have the high vocals and fantasy themes characteristic of Power Metal

[@havardk]

Just enjoy watching Sabaton!! They LOVE when people reacts to their music!

[@vlinder6329]

The energy of the boys of SABATON, brings the HISTORY to life .... INCREDIBLE! And the performance and music are AMAZING💪🏼💪🏼 Sabaton are my History - Books 📚 👉🏼 The CAPTAIN of this SHIP⚓ is the SON of a Bismarck SURVIVOR and portrays his FATHER 🤎 Thank you so much, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@marcell6915]

Great reaction, also just watched your reaction with Black Pegasus of Nightwish. I saw Sabaton last year in the Ziggo Dome and Nightwish 5 times. Both are awesome bands. Looking forward to more of both of them.

[@clashof6d]

You don't really need to pause sabaton's videos, they love reaction videos to their songs. Take as an example chainbrain, he played sabaton songs live for over an hour and multiple times played an entite album and has not gotten a single copyright claim. Multiple videos which are 10hours of a single song are uploaded and no copyright claim, they have commented on a few reaction videos made to their songs thanking the person who did a reaction video❤

[@3atte386]

Love your videos. You really pay attention and concentrate. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@UrkeThunman]

I can also recommend the animated videos they made with Yard Hub. Both Nigh Witches and No Bullets fly are fantastic (the later is crazy)! And, as many here have already mentioned, Resist and Bite is also great. A quite unknown story about Belgium heroes, only 40 rifles strong, taking on Rommel's tanks.

[@VincenteSteele]

1. Your memory in the begging was spot on - just mild inaccuracies. Very impressive from pure memory! 2. Until you said you were Belgian, I had no idea, I heard no accent. You might enjoy ''Resist and Bite' and 'Race To the Sea' by the same band - Both are about Belgium! To be fair, I imagine you will like most of Sabaton's songs regardless of where the songs are based on. 3. In all of the reactions I' have seen, you're the first I have seen to make the connection between the boy and the old man with the compass or locket. 4. Sabaton is a Swedish band that performs songs based on various (usually military) historical events.

(at the time) Bismarck was the largest naval vessel ever created. Obviously it was powerful, but story of bismarck is more about symbolism.. It was great honor for the germans. It was also great importance for UK to sink it. Churchill wanted that boat destroyed any means necessary, before it can go from germany to artic ocean. There was a large hunt for the ship, while bismarck tried to hide Norways ports during its travel. Then they found it. And yes, like the song, they sank it.

[@iolioesem7485]

Finaly someone noticed the compass...thank you Anthony , you have really sharp eyes...

[@hajovelt3083]

Well obseved: the man with the clock is the son of the guy who rescued at the end.

[@blazecarnie4721]

A little more info on the bismarck that the song and video leave out: When bismarck placed a direct hit on Hoods deck and ignited the ammunition on board, and prince of whales i believe it was, took more damage from Bismarck, prince of whales retreated for repair, the royal navy sent all available boats with the simple order to "sink the bismarck" and then the real fight began, planes dropping torpedos, one torpedo stuck the rudder in a turned position causing bismarck to just go in circles, it became a sitting duck, taking (last numbers i read) 700 shells from the royal navy, and 8 torpedos before the crew on board the bismarck was ordered to scuttle the ship as they knew there was no chance

Sabaton is an armoured boot frome medieval times.
