ROADIE REACTIONS | Powerwolf - "Sainted By The Storm"

Thumbnail looks promising, now we're curious for the premiere! 🐺🤘

[@lulululu8045]

Love you!!!!

[@troybalster3687]

We need a USA tour here asap.

[@themarve]

looking so much forward to your Oberhausen show :D

[@michelemerisi1958]

We need a tour in Italy. Love you!

[@starsword-c2534]

Not two days after this song came out, we ran into a gang of vampire and werewolf pirates in our Pathfinder game. 🤘 🐺 🦇 🤘

[@Metalencio94]

I'm one of those waiting for a Sabaton/Powerwolf tour. And if said tour is not called "Amen & a Tank", I'll be upset. Awesome reaction, Man.

[@gimbolak8928]

That would be epic

[@birgersandman2662]

omfg, that name is amazing lmao

[@gersy4988]

There would be NO better name for that XD

[@jeffdick8881]

That's brilliant!

[@galtur5241]

They toured together in Europe in 2011, was a blast. And i discovered Powerwolf back then :D

[@araposkulo]

I think PW and Sabaton have always sounded kind of close in style. PW is "church Sabaton" and Sabaton is "army Powerwolf"

[@eduardomonjaraz1304]

👌😅👏👏

[@grimmshredsanguinus2915]

Exactly

[@MrSagranda]

As soon as I heard that opening verse I was like "Wait, is this Powerwolf or Sabaton?". Just a little bit later. Tank:" I'm getting Sabaton vibes" Me: "Thank you, I'm not crazy".😃 And yeah, it's a great song. I really dig it. I only listen to Powerwolf on occasions, but I will definitely listen to them more in the coming days.

[@Hiten19]

Omg I’m not the only one who thought that!?

[@nyrmetros]

Sabaton and PowerWolf together please!

[@TobiasIs]

Same xD

[@hamachibeans4471]

Listen to the lost battalion and sainted by the storm back to back

[@cxpKSip]

Its distnctly Powerwolf in terms of lyrics. But... I hear some similarities.

[@Stiin]

dude can you imagine that chorus live? with a massive crowd singing along.

[@anzaca1]

Only 2 band's songs have ever gotten me headbanging. Sabaton, and now Powerwolf.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

I was confused for my reaction so I’m here cause TANK WILL MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL LOL

[@databloom70]

Sabaton's influence is huge right now. They just have a winning (and very profitable) sound and presentation, so it's no wonder many bands similar to them are following suit. I even hear a bit of crossover with Amon Amarth at times. I love all three bands, so it's all good.

[@cristinasetyar]

I have a feeling Attila will make us sing that chorus in concert just to see us fail those high notes. Again 😁.

[@joshuafischer684]

SongBreakerWorkbench is gonna have a field day with this

[@cxpKSip]

I have not seen any live performance from this band. My problem wouldn't be one of tone, it'd be one of can I pronounce everything they're pronouncing in the time they do.

[@mugenokami2201]

@@joshuafischer684 I like to think bands love his work on their songs. That way they can make their music even more epic

[@paule.3303]

This song seems like the perfect blend of Alestorm + Powerwolf, immediately went to the top of my Powerwolf list, loving this track

[@lennartwolfert1023]

Exactly my thoughts :)

[@nyrmetros]

Sabaton, PowerWolf, and Alestorm on 1 tour together!

[@anakin4702]

Powerwolf is one of the rare group for which I find that absolutely all their songs are good!

[@OneAngryVelociraptor]

I feel like all their songs sound the same. Maybe thats why.

[@MatrakenKEN]

4:21 I was going to say the same thing dude, it feels as if Sabatod had composed a song for Powerwolf to play. I wish the two bands made a crusade themed collab!

[@nyrmetros]

Sabaton and PowerWolf ftw!

[@hamachibeans4471]

That chorus always gets my helicopter head going

[@Pelasgos14]

Awesome reaction man. Red alert!!! New Evergrey "midwinter calls". Another masterpiece.

[@TankTheTech]

On the list of things to do!

[@bellystraw]

Been blasting it all day and jnew I had to check out your take on it

[@skillBpro]

I would like to see a collaboration between Sabaton and Powerwolf. Vlad the Impaler would be a good choice because it fits Sabatons history theme and Powerwolf's mythical theme as he was the inspiration for Count Dracula

[@geronimowirth4477]

Damn I love powerwolfs chorus so much! Army of the night, Amen and Attack, Demons are the girls best friend etc etc and now this! They are always so good I will never forget this band. Saw them 5 times and my first time crowdsurfing was at wacken with "we drink your blood" , just great! :D

[@itaintnobutterflies6265]

This song gives me earlier powerwolf filing . The first time I saw them live was back in 2013 . And I'm almost every time the com to the Nederlandse I'm there since Dan . I'm glad you got the chance to hear it early you deserve it man 🐺🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻🐺

[@bl4ckm4mba12]

Absolutely agree, this has more of the old Powerwolf in it than most of their new stuff - which I like a lot, because while modern Powerwolf is still good, I liked them even more in the time from Blood of the Saints to Blessed and Possessed. Should be a reason for me liking this song a lot.

[@SiriaBlackYT]

Nice to know I wasn't imaginating things and this song has a bit of Sabaton in it! The chorus is a real killer. I prefer when you break down gear, but if doing this kind of more relaxed video from time to time prevents you from burning out, go for it!

[@nyrmetros]

Sabaton and PowerWolf please!

[@hamachibeans4471]

Listen to the lost battalion and sainted by the storm back to back

[@SaschaFrenzer]

I watched this 3 times. Not because of the music, but of how much fun you have, dude. Rock on!

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

I really like the song and have been blasting it this entire weekend. I look forward to your take on it.

[@lovrosedej7655]

The chorus feels like it has something Sabaton in it but i cannot name it as it sounds Powerwolf af. The intro with the vocals and instrumental chorus before the actual vocals begin is hella Sabaton. The drums during the verses remind me of Sabaton too but the verse itself is classic Powerwolf. This might be my new "hey check this band out" song for introducing people. Have you heard Midnight Madonna before? It took me like 2 years to realise it even exists (shame on me) but its very fun, the organ is really the star in there. I dont come here for gear breakdown man, i come here to see if Tank takes off his hat to headbang. Do what makes you happy and people will watch for the energy of a person visibly having a great time.

[@borsuk5707]

good to see you again Tank. Greetings from Poland! TWOJE ZDROWIE :) !

[@patriklicak2302]

That beginning is giving me Carolus Rex vibe :)

[@VIKINGKING95]

Not going to lie this sounds very Sabaton like and I absolutely love it.

[@Claw_Draven]

Esa es la FÓRMULA Sabaton. Una canción como éstas siempre serán épicas y alucinantes. Aunque parezca similar a otras, no importa. Igual te vuela la cabeza..!! Gran reacción, Tank!! 🤘🏻👏🏻💪🏻

[@arturiuspendragon6849]

Monumental Mass is going to be released July 8. There's a limited edition version with a 96 page earbook along with 2 CD, Blu Ray and DVD that looks awesome.

[@wrriddle]

This song became my favourite Powerwolf song after the first listen. They always have catchy songs, but this one is extra earworm material. Also: I'd like to join in on the begging for a Monumental Mass Dvd. Napalm Records and Powerwolf, pretty please? :)

[@quintuskater2191]

+1 that song is insanly catchy ^^

[@darinroodman2004]

So I got the song on my spotify immediately, but waited to watch the lyric vid until you could react because I wan ted to do that with you. Not disappointed sir! Great tune, great reaction, love their lyric vids, the artwork is AMAZING! Could this be the beginning of a Pirate-themed album?

[@TankTheTech]

I'd welcome a pirate themed album for sure!

[@pin-upmariposa412]

This song strangely remind me Sabaton's songs (as you mention too). Maybe sound and lyric level? Great reaction and headbang. 🙂

[@simonsemaan5043]

Tank, I just wanted to share with you that Powerwolf just announced on their channel “Powerwolf Official” that a physical copy of “The Monumental Mass” will be released this July and people can preorder it.

[@Ibracadabra2506]

It is a story telling song and that is one of the things that makes it sound like Sabaton

[@MetalGoat84]

I heard this song on the day it has been released and I thought the same - are there some Sabaton vibes?! Glad to hear you have the same thoughts, Tank. I also was surprised that a new single dropped so early after the last album release from Powerwolf and I instantly hope that Sabaton and Powerwolf may tour together sometime. Great reaction as always. Thanks Tank and keep on rockin´ 🤘

[@Reaverx1993]

It seems like the Tank got hooked by captain Hook's hook. 🤘😆 ...so did I. What a beast of a song! I need to know where my repeat button is located.🤔 Greetings from Germany to Powerwolf, Tank and all the metalheads worldwide! :D

[@sirgecko666]

Yeeeehaw, TheTank is delivering a new reaction to a great song. Didn`t think this day will get any better!

[@machonacho91]

This song is definitely up there as one of their best, I think. Gonna be a crowdpleaser, that's for sure. (Not that there's a Powerwolf song I actually dislike, mind you) Also, I appreciate that you have some really constructive and technical feedback about the songs you're reacting to. Definitely subscribed XD

[@DonDuracell]

Powerwolf and Sabaton are definitely to some extend similar. And back in the day when Metal festivals were happening in Germany they played so often together on festivals that friends and I started to refer to them as the "Saberwolf and Powerton" combo menu. 😛

[@nyrmetros]

Sabaton and PowerWolf need to tour together again!

[@thesaxon1377]

Yes this song is apart of a new album which is coming out on 7th April 2023. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@ZealSeraph]

I'm really hoping that this is from a new album. I know it might be a bit greedy, considering the last one, their best one so far in my opinion, isn't even a year old, but this song just got me all fired up for more. And hats off for Napalm Records for letting you listen to it early.

[@Ri_Shin_Marco]

Well I just opened Spotify and I will listen to all albums and singles Sabaton ever did. Because it really reminds me of a Sabaton song and I don't know which one and it drives me crazy^. Or it's any other powermetal band from Napalm Records (they have a few :D ), I certainly listen to a lot of their bands :D . If you take the lyrics away from this one and you are just listening to the instumentals then it could very well be a Sabaton song

[@AcidifiedMammoth]

The Lost Battalion

[@ulrikasunremarkablelife]

I loved it immediately!

[@jol1190]

That song was EPIC!!! Most of their chorus' are what I would call Power Anthems. But one of their best is Venom of Venus. You definitely need to check that one out. You won't be dissapointed...

[@midgetman946]

4:34 yeah I can't unhear it now, it sounds like something straight off Sabaton's Heroes and Great War albums and also has a very similar triumphant sorta vibe to The Unkillable Soldier

[@bishoppope2921]

powerwolf > literally all other power metal bands

[@maverick4151]

Funny, you brought up that this sounds a bit like Sabaton. I heard that too, but I would say as far as being similar to Sabaton this song ranks second for me among all Powerwolf songs only behind "Incense and Iron". When I heard that one for the first time I was almost sure it was Sabaton, eventhough It was clearly not Joakim singing. By the way, it also reminds me a little of some of the older, less goofy Alestorm songs. Also, I love the song and hope this is foreshadowing for the next album, whenever it comes out. Regardless if "Sainted By The Storm" will be on it. If this is where they are going I am once again confident that they'll create something that is right up my alley.

[@LuisRosa72]

If someone had told me this was a Sabaton song with Attila's voice layered on top of it, I would've believed it. I freaking love it!

[@javelin60]

When Powerwolf Official keeps tabs on you.😎🔥

[@Radgarsan]

You so emotional as always!))) Thx for the reactions🤟 By the way, Tank please make your reactions on new songs of Radio Tapok. He's release a full album of f*king awesome song!

[@Wuthahn_]

I was about to comment the Sabaton thing, but then you said it. So there you go, I have nothing to say :D

[@hansemanuelsson9005]

Huge, epic and bleeping awesome! What more is there to say?

[@matthiasrath1560]

You said you like german band's. Check Parasite Inc. The pulse of the dead. Rock on and greetings from Hamburg Germany

[@fleischtomate2435]

nice one! btw.. Caliban dropped a new song/music video and its featured with Lead Singer of Heaven Shall Burn...you should check that out!!! (brings me back memoires of the Split Programs )

[@MrKangaroo123]

such a banger track, I just wish bands like Powerwolf and Sabaton would tour Australia on as much of a regular basis as they do Europe and America.

[@Depressed_Nightfury]

We're stilling waiting for Powerwolf here in the states

[@georgebeswick7549]

Still waiting for the Sabaton/Powerwolf show to be confirmed one day.

[@Triskaan]

Yeah, that's a fucking good chorus... still doesnt beat the Armata Strigoi one imo. :D

[@soopy0287]

I'm a full Powerwolf Fan, and i enjoying your reaction. 🤘😂🔥

[@mariyav9820]

Позитивный мужик! В рекомендациях вылез с реакцией на Radio Tapok, однозначно лайк и подписка ☞￣ᴥ￣☞ И треки зачётные для видео, мой плейлист пополнится😘

So now there is a new Rammstein Single. it`s about "Zeit" for your Reaction :)

[@TankTheTech]

We did a reaction to it on Twitch because it would have gotten blocked on here. Fantastic song all around.

[@samanthahard5540]

Crazy Sabaton vibes! Btw I have barely seen anyone react to brothers of metal, and I know you've only done one reaction. They do great Viking metal with a comedy twist. They just came out with a new song which I haven't seen anyone react to. Please!!!

[@uldzslubrnt5663]

If Sabaton does a cover version of this masterpiece, I would have nothing to dream of. =)

[@zdaaaaar]

If Sabaton and Alestorm had a baby and send it to Vatican :D

[@CplCoffee]

Anyone else pick up Faster than light playing in the background during the intro? always love hearing UtA

[@fakekyromaru]

A sabaton vibes °o°

[@PiT0nZo]

All I want in life is for Powerwolf to come to the US and tour man. I will buy tickets for all my friends.

[@girendo9598]

Orden Ogan Chorus 🤝 Powerwolf Chorus German Power 🇩🇪

[@ritchiep7810]

I can't wait to see the actual music video for this song..

[@lukasfehrwight4247]

Great song. It would have been nice to include some gear info after the lyric video (The label did give you advanced access to react to this, so they can provide that info). Any plans to react to Blind Guardians new song "Secrets Of The American Gods"?

[@TankTheTech]

Yup, it's on the list of things to do!

[@DjKorppi]

I've never liked Powerwolf but yeah they've listened their Sabaton, this is good.

[@eduardomonjaraz1304]

Yeah🤘🇲🇽

[@Maedrya]

PowerWolf did an amazing job with this song ! In my opinion, this is one if not THE best 2022 song already ! Sabaton + Alestorm vibes, with Attila's voice, who can do better ?

[@metalhead82891]

I think Sabaton should cover this. 😂🤘🏻

[@Alexei-du5jz]

slaughter to prevail - bonebreaker (live in moscow)👍👍👍👍🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronbrogdon5973]

I feel like the Sabaton sound is from the keyboards veering away from the pipe organ sound and instead going for the 80s synth vibe that Sabaton uses so often. Definitely a killer song and top 10 Powerwolf song for me

[@joshuafischer684]

I like the pipe organ though, they can't leave that behind imho

[@lngo2328]

@@joshuafischer684 the pipe organ is powerwolf trademark, i doubt that they would leave it so easily

[@Nuclearstulle]

Hey @TankTheTech just a few hours ago the physical release for 'The Monumental Mass' has been announced! There's Blu-Ray/DVD/CD/Vinyl/Cassette!

[@Robert_Herring]

This song is made for live performance. Great chorus.

[@nullebecker5531]

Here is one for you to react on. Its a new swedish project from an earlier euro disco singer called E-TYPE he made new metal band called DAMPF ( steam in german ) and the song The Other Side. I think its awsome but what do you think ?

[@kadara2328]

Hahaha, this Sabaton-thing was my first thought when I listened the song first. Affter the "intro" I expected to hear Joakim instead of Attila. :P

[@AllzaoMaximus]

I've made the mistake to watch this video while eating lunch. I've done neither and now my neck hurts and my lunch is all over the floor...shit!

[@billcurtis1157]

Wow! It kind of like sabaton.

[@xD3adKl0wnx]

Looks like you got your wish, they just announced a physical release of the Monumental Mass!

[@ThePandaPuncher]

If Sabaton's Race to the Sea had a little bit more tempo? Or am I way off base? There is definitely a strong Sabaton vibe and I'm trying to figure out which song it reminds me of

[@kylemarrow92]

With the nautical theme of this song do you think they'd collaborate with Alestorm

[@funfactor4528]

Just found your channel...might have to check it out more 😉

[@Milano-ug3iu]

Not my favorite song of PW. Really good. Sabaton ☹ Powerwolf 😎

[@ub3r0wn4g3]

I have seen Powerwolf at Wacken about 3 times and they still blow me away with the uniqueness they bring. And this latest song makes me love them more and more. It makes me want to sing and shout and party with the crowd

[@Swedish_Pagan78]

This song is better than the whole last album. Call of the Wild just didn't do it for me. Love all the other albums though.

[@marquardmeiring618]

You can do the videos without gear also. You still have input about the music which is valued.

[@MetalPhantomX]

Typical Powerwolf style! I am digging it!

[@AllieCat90]

I’m honestly just waiting for Powerwolf to tour the US. I have some of their song lyrics tattooed on my arm

[@Alucard19ster]

Screw it! I want a sabaton/powerwolf single. Don't care what it's bout. GET...THEM...TOGETHER....NNNOOOOWWWW! I will pay for them to do it if what it takes. I already had this on repeat for an hr.

Fn love it when you headbanged to the chorus too my favorite band =)

[@ThorsHammer88]

Definitely has a big Sabaton feel.

I heard this pop up on my Pandora station last night and Instafavorited it for the opening alone.

Fun to do a first listening to a song in a reaction video :D love Power wolf top 5 band

[@RatedRsUniverse]

Great Video like everytime. I like Powerwolf and this song is great. Good choice, especially this is a lyric video. Btw. I am curious, If you will do a react video of the new Blind Guardian song "Secrets Of The American Gods". This would be great. :)

I pretty recently discovered these guys listening to a Sabaton station on Apple Music. I fell in love with them so fast! I ABSOLUTELY hear the similarities between them and Sabaton in this song! I hear it a lot in the lower harmonies/backing vox.

sounds very Sabatony
