Nice reaction, I was at this show (sitting somwhere in the middle of the platform to the left from this view of the stage) The album Carolus rex they had released during that time is about a part of Swedish history called the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) from when Sweden was a much bigger nation with ambitions of expanding. The album was released with both an Swedish and English version,the difference being that the Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldiers view while the English is more from an outsiders view of the war. They had sold out the arena for this show so there was around 10766 metalheads in the arena, needless to say, it was one hell of a show that night.
A medic? "The Ballad of Bull" is the next Sabaton song for you. Leslie "Bull" Allen was an Australian stretcher bearer in WWII, but I think it'll resonate. He's credited with saving 12 US soldiers by going alone into fire and bringing them back one-by-one. All 12 survived, and he never took a physical scratch. He would be recognized by the United States with a Silver Star, but he was never recognized, even today as far as I know, by the Australian government. I do wish people would react to lesser known Sabaton songs and get them out there. Also, check out their Sabaton History channel for background on all of their songs.
Hi Nate, just came across your channel, love it. Sabaton is a poweful thing, and I'm saying that as a Depeche Mode hard mode fan. So being a medic seems like an career that fits you, please continue that. I myself went as a UN soldier to Bosnia in 1995, you didn't miss much except knowning what's really important in life.
This song has an English version as well. While the Swedish version focuses on the single soldier of the 30-year war, the English version focuses on a broader scale. War in general, to the theme of the 30-year war
The song is about the 30 years war but the sentiment applies world over. Also, in modern times, the Swedish military have been active in Africa, the Balkans, Afghanistan. UN missions. There is a law about general draft but this gen, maybe 1/10 even get checked, less are "drafted". Now, things might change. During the Cold War into the 90's it was most if not all were called when they were 18, most if not all, served. Not professionally, but for like 12-18 months, basic training. Men. Of course ;)

@@johankarlsson3113 I was thinking about reacting to each song on an album and then giving my thoughts on the album as a whole at the end. Thank you for the idea.
@NateRockne if you've never seen "Hacksaw Ridge" I'd recommend checking it out, it's based on Desmonds life and career it also features archive footage/interviews with the man himself during the end credits
They sing about the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) .. Where Sweden became a great power 💙💛
En livstid i krig means ”A lifetime of war and is about the 30-year long european war in the 17th century ,
Joakim auditioning for his employment as a conductor when his voice is gone...
What a show, what a atmosphere, what a band ,what a song ,what crowds 🔥🔥🔥
A powerful song, Nate, thanks for the reaction! I learned this in Swedish just to be a part of such an epic singalong!

I'm sure you'll never forget that experience. Thanks for the info.
The lyrics can apply to any war, anytime. Sabaton keeps it real.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. I'm not against watching lesser known songs.
Sabaton = making war history easy and fun to learn by doing metal song about it😊

Thank you for your service. I'm going to be checking out alot more Sabaton.
This song has an English version as well. While the Swedish version focuses on the single soldier of the 30-year war, the English version focuses on a broader scale. War in general, to the theme of the 30-year war
The 30 years war are considered by many historians as the first world war because so many nations were involved.
From age 16 to 70 duty can call any swede since we have a draft to fill the bulk of our army. But in reallity 18 to 47.
Welcome to the Sabaton Family
Thank you.
This is what the song is about, Greetings from Sweden en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War
Thank you. Greetings to you in Sweden!
This soldier fought for every country in the world and this song praises it.
We were around 10 000 people in the audience.
🎉🎉

The law is the same though. If shit hits the fan all able bodies like 16-75, called in
Thank you for the info. I love that I can listen to their music and get a history lesson at the same time.

I'm assuming Desmond Doss I a hero of yours?
I don't think I've heard of him. I did a quick search and he sounds like a true hero.
@NateRockne if you've never seen "Hacksaw Ridge" I'd recommend checking it out, it's based on Desmonds life and career it also features archive footage/interviews with the man himself during the end credits
@@mpainter22 I don't think I've seen Hacksaw Ridge. I'll look for it. Thank you for the info.
Im sorry national guard? this is about the 30 year war when Swedish men was sometimes bourn into the army
Just my experience. Not claiming to have been in a war.
