SABATON - Hail To The King (Official Lyric Video)

[@GuretoSefirosu]

I saw the title and instantly thought Sabaton covered Avenged Sevenfold in a metal way. I was not disappointed despite this not being a cover.

[@ivkenavi]

The truth is that only Avenged Sevenfold could cover Sabaton because this is 2001 and A.S. is 2013.

[@GuretoSefirosu]

@@ivkenavi I did not know Sabaton went back that far. Wow.

[@JK_5076]

​@@ivkenavi Avenged Sevenfold is before 2000, not here to start a fight, just let you know.

[@darkcenturion5735]

@@JK_5076 the song was 2013 fuckass

[@adam_mawz_maas]

@@JK_5076 He's referring to the songs in question. Sabaton's Hail to the King was recorded in 2001/2002, Avenged Sevenfold's Hail to the King was 2013. Both bands formed in 1999.

[@The-Plaguefellow]

Holy shit, Metalizer finally getting some love on this channel?! God, what I'd give to hear these songs get remade with the now more-refined, 20+ years-running Sabaton!

[@NorthgateLP]

Metalizer was the remake. The original is from their Fist for Fight demo from 2001.

[@augustuscrow1292]

woah thats scary I was about to say "huh I dont remember commenting this", than I realized we just have the same PFP

[@fastsnake1]

@@augustuscrow1292 I had a similar thing on a different video lol. It's funny in hindsight.

[@RPGTKingpin]

As awesome as this is, I think the best part about it is it shows just how much Sabaton has grown as a band. The lyric video is great, Joakim's voice is stellar as always, and the guitar and drum work are electrifying, but you guys have really knocked it out of the park with your development lyrically in the past 15 years. Old Sabaton was awesome. Modern Sabaton is a religious experience.

[@Sabaton]

Thank you very much for supporting us throughout the years 🤘 Keep rockin'!

[@The_GuyWhoNeverUploadsAnything]

I think they've improved musically and vocally too probably but not necessarily lyrically. It feels like all of their newer songs have to rhyme and it really restricts the story telling in the song to simple phrases and words. The storytelling and thus the lyrics were better before when it was mainly the chorus that rhymed and the rest didn't have to.

[@RPGTKingpin]

@@The_GuyWhoNeverUploadsAnything I feel like they've found a comfortable middleground, personally. More of their music (but not all) rhymes and that is a good thing. It brings the cohesion of the music together and makes the chorus and melody all the more powerful as a result. Maybe it's a matter of differing tastes, but personally I feel like it is much better than an entire song having no phonetic cohesion outside of the chorus.

[@SynBozyKtoryGladziGrzechy]

Sabaton like always releasing bangers. Can't stop listening to this ever since I found it.

[@Sabaton]

Bangers is all we've got inside 😎 Thank you so much for writing!

[@seriussamIam]

Honestly, one of my favorite Sabaton songs. Metalizer as an album is just underrated in general

[@blacktemplar2377]

I mean, it is (basically) their first album, most bands debut albums are not the most popular. Powerwolf, Rammstein, Stratovarius, Wind Rose, Manowar, Iron Maiden, Battle Beast for example.

It's been our privilege to share it with y'all!

[@tommycoolatta6533]

In my opinion, this is the most genuinely underrated song Sabaton's ever made.

[@WendigoCreations-zy9pm]

Why is it so hard for people to understand that the music sounds off because its like 20 years old and their English wasn't fully refined back then?

[@fintherebel5000]

Cause modern day metal heads need everything to be perfect in order for it to be considered "good" and if it doesn't contain current trends or "acceptable" political view points it gets thrown into the pit of fire.

[@sovietbiscuit9918]

The chorus is beyond badass

[@Garza1029]

[@TheFitnessShinobi]

The guitar melody at 2:02 is amazing.

Nothing neccesarily historical things but maybe things from literature. Some sabaton fans have reference these lyrics to be inspired by Hamlet. Or Story of Hrolf Kraki who is kind of real history, but he was basically danish/scandinavian version of King Arthur.
