SABATON - Shadows (Official Lyric Video)

[@UnNuclear]

I know Sabaton has really carved out their niche as the military history band, but I'd LOVE it if they released a new Metalizer style album.

[@The-Uncle-Rock]

The songs from Metalizer was taken from the demo album Fist for Fight. So the songs from Fist for Fight are older then Primus Victoria the first studio album. With Primo Victoria they decided their way of making music of history. Metalizer is the 3rd studio album because they still wanted to release the first album ever what has turned into the 3rd studio album Metalizer. I dont know if the Fist for Fight CD is included in the Metalizer box but if you buy the 13 CD discography you get a Metalizer CD pack what includes the early demo album Fist for Fight. So the 13 CD discography is a 14 CD bundle ;)

Sabaton, I know a fan of yours who also loves Tolkien's works, and I can't wait to share this with that fan! Thank you all for this! 🤘

[@SarcasticDuck]

It's an old song of theirs. He should know of it by now

[@autobotjedi3457]

@@SarcasticDuck I mostly enjoy their history songs. Sorry, I found them that way, and it's my personal preference.

Not that bad, but I still prefer Artrosis' "Nazgul" that made me fall in love with gothic metal almost 30 years ago.

[@Y0sh1no5am]

We need Sabaton History about this song and I wanna see the historian talk super deep nerdlore about the battle between the good and bad Sauron!

[@Sabaton]

Haha that would be awesome. We'll have a chat with Indy!

@@Sabaton Thank you for the Fist of Fight album what I have found in my 13 CD discography box what turned out as a 14 CD box. It was an awesome surprise for me. I have no clue if the Fist for Fight CD is included also in the regular Metalizer CD box but I realy enjoy your demos from Fist for Fight!

[@GrievousReborn]

I wish they'd do an April Fool's Day Sabaton History video on the Nazgul

[@Nerobyrne]

which becomes really popular and then they just keep doing it ^^

[@euclyptuseuphoria3759]

Singing with the voice of Morgoth himself, a voice which aided in the creation of Arda, paying tribute to such an incredible piece of literature. Respect

[@scarecrow2097]

Sabaton singing about LOTR? My life is officially complete!

[@zjjohnson3827]

It gets better! *Shadows* is from their Metalizer album, partially recorded in 2002(?) and released in March 2007, according to Google. Probably why its getting the lyric videos of all its songs now. This song was recorded around the time either when Return of the King and possibly The Two Towers films hadn’t released yet, or if not then then not too long after they came out.

[@facundopavon5479]

I agree

[@BenSiekmann-yp7mf]

I agree

[@crazyhercules9442]

Awesome. First military history. Now fantasy military history??? It is perfect. Dare I say… The One to rule them all.

This song is from 2001

[@crazyhercules9442]

@@Stoyan1985 oh wow. I didn’t know that.

[@belgianfootball4529]

Even wilder, its more or less the first song joachim ever wrote for sabaton

[@freedantheeternal]

Yeah, this song was actually one of the first ones, as I recall, written before they'd really settled on focusing on real military history.

[@The-Uncle-Rock]

@@freedantheeternal Yes its from their first album Fist for Fight what they released by them self. I dont know if the Fist for Fight album is included in the Metalizer album or maybe in a special edition? What I know is that you get it if you buy the 13CD discography box. So you get 14 CDs.

[@CommissarMitch]

One of the most underrated Sabaton songs.

[@Fredericco1]

We need Sabaton to make at least one album of this style! I like their songs about history, but this is so good.

[@Stoyan1985]

This is from Fist for Fight , 👀

[@BoundlessOneValin]

the way the riffs are played in this song are so capitivating, this and far from home have to be my favorite sabaton songs

[@Sabaton]

Happy to hear!

[@dircepacheco]

Two of my sweet hearts: Sabaton and the Lord of the Rings. Guys, you're simply awesome.

[@Sabaton]

Thanks a lot!

[@Random-cl2zl]

I had all but forgotten this one. Thanks for reminding me of it's existence, it's really nice.

[@terbin4487]

one of my absolute favorite sabaton songs. Metalizer is such a gem of an album.

[@BjornBS]

Old school and still loving it

[@davidbiro4265]

I'd love a fantasy themed album by Sabaton

[@PowerWolfDraven]

Even if Sabaton made songs about fantasy battles and random metal, they would still be epic

[@JunioRJogaa]

this is incridible, everything i love.

[@asdfghjklwertidh]

I want a LOTR album now!

[@DaveBro097]

I'm surprised that they decided to make lyric videos for the album Metalizer even though the album is not related to military history. But in the end, the album is a banger for its time so great job!

[@Gladius92]

Shadows and The Hammer Has Fallen will always be amongst my top ten songs of yours, they were absolute bangers and I wasn't expecting them when I bought a copy of Metalizer all those years ago!

[@itanchiro5524]

It's difficult to write a coment when I you are left speachless and when it is so obvious that the song is God tier that there is no need to praise it.

[@rustkarl]

We renounce our Maker.
We cleave to the darkness.
We take unto ourselves the power and glory.

I utterly agree. I wish they would take a break from real history and give us a LotR album... it would be just epic.

@@lucasmuniz5263 I see no reason several Albums can't exist. Heck. You could argue the whole power metal genre owes it's existence to Tolkien.
