The reason for the nickname "The Lion From The North" is that he was a highly skilled and victorious millitary commander. Concidered the "father of modern warfare" for his use of Combined Arms and other battlefield innovations. He was first to deploy his muskets in lines, as opposed to the old squares, bringing more firepower to bear. Those are the lines of men that can be seen in most war movies of the late 17th century up until the first world war.

[@v3tReacts]

Very informative right here Love it!! first to take the square formation into a lined formation, in which reigned as supreme warfare with additions of others Cannons and such but damn. Didn't know any of that.

[@teemup9247]

@@v3tReacts That flecible line formation was also called "brigade". He also deployed each infantry regiment with light and mobile artillary which could move with the infantry. This was new as artillary mostly was fixed and heavy and not moved after deployed for battle.

[@TheSlyngel]

@@v3tReacts Most people don't know that Sweden is the inventor of the field artillery or combined arms warfare. The English speaking world leaves out the history of northen Europe. But Gustav Adolph is known in military academies and is still studied by strategists and historians.

[@melkorlapich802]

Technically not, the Dutch tried it against the Spanish and Sweden took it and ran, the Dutch were basically copying old Roman stuff including organization and how commands work (two part commands we still use today)

[@mikaelnyvall1449]

No. The reason for the nickname is Swedish military propaganda. By use of folklore and superstition. There was old curse, about a Lion who would destroy the Eagle. In Sweden the Lions and the Three crowns in the Royal Coat of Arms had been in use since the early middle ages.

[@joshuaclarke3624]

I went to a concert on this tour. It was the best thing I've ever witnessed. Apocalyptica and amaranth were great also.

[@v3tReacts]

i would love one

[@joshuaclarke3624]

@@v3tReacts you should add the ballard of bull to the list, its one of a kind from sabaton

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

I was in one of those crowds too!🤘😄 Freakin' awesome!!🤘🤘 And, as you were told, Amaranthe and Apocalyptica were awesome as well! Check out "Angels calling" ft. Apocalyptica (live from Vienna, 2020). When you're done with this great album, one of my favourites!😊

[@darkiee69]

When he was killed in the field the enemy thought that the Swedes would turn and run, dishearten. But they where disciplined soldiers and held their ground and fought on, as the Gustavus would have wanted them to.

[@gerritrookworst3701]

Died while riding into battle. The last King to do such a thing (if in not mistaken).

[@v3tReacts]

Such a noble thing to do!

[@snakes3425]

He charged Imperial Calvalry at the Battle of Lutzen during the Thirty Years War, and is said to have vanished into the smoke where he became seperated from his bodyguards and was kiled in an ambush

[@sylinic6081]

Charlex XII was another king that had died in battle, shot by a sniper during the siege in Norway.

[@privatecookie29]

I know it's kinda hard for native english speakers but i really do think the swedish version of the whole album is worth listening too

[@v3tReacts]

Maybe I will throw a couple in with subtitles if available in English lmao if not I shall find em!

[@StergiosMekras]

Definitely the superior lyrics.

[@ryanwells1031]

I absolutely agree with this. I had no idea how different a story some songs told between albums until seeing translations of the Swedish songs.

venue: how much pyro will you use? Sabaton: yes

[@v3tReacts]

RIGHT JUST YES!!!!!

[@thetwitchywarlock]

[@charliethetraveller]

Sabaton is like history teaching... With steroids. Light in the black for upcoming reaction

[@v3tReacts]

Added it to the list🤘🤘

[@jorgenandersson424]

One of the best Sabaton songs (in my opinion) and the history the songs tells is about king Gustav 2nd Adolf (Gustavus Adolfus the great), he changed the way of warfare and is considered on of the best field marshals/field masters of all time and he was really the founder of the Swedish empire. You should really use the captions to follow the story of the Swedish empire through the album! The english version tells the story more from a observers/political point if view while the Swedish version tells the story more from the individual soldiers point of view (like the ”en livstid i krig” (a lifetime of war) you reacted on earlier, also from this album).

[@v3tReacts]

So far not disappointed

[@antonlindholm1006]

Just in case you were wondering, the airplane organ is from the 'Red Baron' live show, the bazooka is from 'Night Witches' live show on the Great tour. There's also a live version of this song from the Great tour, although it's in Swedish.

[@Brokk7777]

Hey, love for the vet. keep it up

[@rentond3666]

this is one of the few bands that i see and think "The boys" its a group of friends who enjoy what they do. try and make one of their gigs when they tour the u.s again.

[@v3tReacts]

Right I need to as well

[@gerritrookworst3701]

That's so true. They are Just having fun. There are a lot of video's from the shenanigans they do on stage.

[@xJamesLaughx]

@@gerritrookworst3701 Yep, I love the one with Joakim and Floor Jansen on the stage just goofing around with the rest of the band.

[@fissummusic]

I think you have found the best version of this song to react to. It is awesome.

[@cmillivol98]

The Swedish version of this is called Lejonet från Norden, which still means Lion from the North, and they have a live video of it like they did with En Livstid i Krig which is also from this album that you should check out, either in a reaction or in your own time!

[@v3tReacts]

I seen that one I can def introduce the live to Riddle Reacts and Back2School! to get their reaction.

[@cmillivol98]

@@v3tReacts ahhh my bad man, I didn’t realize you said you’d seen the live version until now🙃 that would be cool though to get their reactions!

[@cmillivol98]

@@v3tReacts I think I might’ve said this wrong😂 Idk if you caught it or not, but I meant to say you should watch the live version of Lejonet från Norden, not En Livstid i Krig

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼🇳🇴😊 No more words necessary than these : Amazing to watch you like this band! Sabaton rocks! And dude, check out Carolus Rex by Sabaton Live at the Great Tour! There you will see why the other music instruments are in this video aswell 😃🔥

[@johncrwarner]

The videographer for this live video has done live video shoots for Electric Callboy in fact he did their official video for their song Parasite.

[@BerraLJ]

Crazy effects for sure, loved the old woman in the beginning rocking it :)

[@TheSt1ffy]

Best song ever

[@Itizen]

I was in Stockholm on this tour and it was amzing. They got a goldrecord for the album The Great War and got awarded for numer of streams in Sweden whit about "half a billlion streams" only in Sweden, that was fun to hear, and most fun was Jocke who heard wrong first and thought it was a halv million streams. And this happend in the end off the show.

[@christhompson4161]

cool, liked. they having fun up there. respect brother

[@v3tReacts]

Respect back thanks for watching

[@tompabay8721]

Future of warfare. Lion from the North.Greatest king Sweden ever had.

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

You were correct that that was Apocalyptica. They were a support act for a leg of The Great Tour, and also joined them on stage for a few songs.

[@fishguydan]

This is probably my favorite track off this album...this and killing ground.

[@v3tReacts]

def intense!!

[@fishguydan]

Also, the behind the scenes footage is from their tour vlogs.

[@Zabiru-]

I kind of prefer the German version of his nickname - Der Löwe aus Mitternacht - the Lion of Midnight. It's in the lyrics too

[@The1rust]

I'd like to see a Sabaton and Rammstein competition to see who can burn down the stadium not only faster but also in style.

[@zilvertron]

Rammstein would win since all of the band members have license for pyrotechnics and do it all themselves

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Sabaton split the Great Tour with Apocalyptica and Amaranthe supporting them. The keyboard player shows up when they play 'The Red Baron.' Nice tidbit for you: they almost insist on all ages shows, they like to get kids up on stage and load them up with souvenirs and let them stay while the band plays a tune. Talk about growing a fanbase! Great song choice, well done!

[@v3tReacts]

wow was right about Apocalyptica

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Saw a few grannies there too.

[@FrogmanAnime]

Hi, I had to check that bazooka shot. It happens in ’Night Witches’ during the tour ‘ The great Tour’. They have a stage view during their Leipzig show...happens at the end. Enjoy

[@v3tReacts]

OH I will lmao was awesome!!

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

The airplane was the "Red Baron's" plane😄 (check out "Red Baron", live from Berlin, 2020) and the bazooka was used when they played "Night witches" (live from Leipzig, 2020). When you have the time, check out this video past the credits. Some hilarious stuff comes up from behind the scenes 😉.

[@v3tReacts]

I was wondering if there was dang it LMAO And it makes since now to be the Red Baron!

Another great album from Sabaton is Attero Dominatus. It has two of my personal favorites, “Nuclear Attack” and “Light in the Black.”

[@v3tReacts]

I shall mark the album upcoming :D

[@maryamniord2214]

Like the official video better from the live for this song beacuse the modern scenario is not really fit the history told in the song. But good song anyway and love listen to your reactions!

[@charliefoxtrott1048]

I was at their concert at Hamburg, Germany (were they builded the "Bismarck" 😏) The only Karen(ish) thing I can say about this evening is... They played 82nd all Uhr way WITHOUT Amaranthe... I Wanna see their Manager.!!! They did it in Oslo/ Norway a few days later... and I would like to call this Fake News... but.. it`s on KZbin 😥 Nevertheless ... their live performance is mind💥

It is the best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ-xYoNnaMllnbs Here is what happened at the Battle of Fraustadt: A Swedish army 9,000 strong under Karl Gustaf Rehnskiöld attacked and defeated an allied Russian and Saxon army 18,000 strong under Johann Matthias von Schulenburg. The Saxon force was largely made up of French, Bavarian and Swiss mercenaries with a core of Saxons. The Swedish Karoliners routed the Saxon Army in a very decisive battle way back in 1706.
