Lets stick with Sabaton! Last Stand has some great rhyming pockets.
you really should reacts to all Sabaton Song they are all amazing like Stairway to heaven's , Bismark. i really hope you will react to a lot of Sabaton Song
you should react to the swedish songs and then the english version
React to more Sabaton music videos like Bismarck!
the siren Song at the end is sung by floor Jansen, the singer of Nightwish, a absolutly stunning band, the greatest show on earth from their album endless forms most beautiful is one of their very best and i would love to see your reaction to it. cheers from germany
The siren who sings during the credits is none other than Floor Jansen, lead singer of Nightwish who also happens to be married to the drummer of Sabaton Hannes (The guy with long blond hair). Sabaton has worked on this specific song for many years, as they didn't want to release a song that failed to do the event justice, and during production Floor asked if she could do the outtro vocals :)
And they just didn't have the heart to tell her no 😂
It's a bit rude to be introduced to here like this for the first time... but also.. very funny
@@janblahoslav5602
How I imagine it
Hannes: my wife want to sing a bit to
Joakim: no, this is a boys song
Hannes: but please, she really really want to sing in a real mettal band
Jokaim: alright then, we put here over the end credits.
@@janblahoslav5602 No she just asked "do you have someone better doing it?" and the rest is history.
Wow didn't know that! Good to know.
Sabaton official videos tend to be more like movies than anything, the band itself focuses primaliry on military history.
Edit suggestion : Primarily on Military History
@@binyominsilverman1592 thanks for the suggestion
Welcome to Sabaton, where every song is not just a song, but a movie, a song, and a history lesson all in one.
Forgot badass and 0 bad ones
It being done, he has entered the Sabaton rabbit hole, the extensive lyrics and history behind the songs is amazing and with how they make the music it makes it better
ive been waiting for this to happen!
@@user-de4xk1ou8f Seriously. Been following since ERB waiting for this. :)
Sabaton is one of those bands i think everyone should listen to, they bring historic war moments up, not making glory of war, but telling war is terrible, giving the soldiers, the families, the heroes on the fields the glory instead..
We just replace history in school with sabaton listening, we save a lot of money and give the students a lot better understanding.
Pro soldier, anti war.
My favorite part of it is they don't paint a side as the Jesus figure. Of course there's a good guy in some songs. Bloom of Banackbon (butchered the spelling) you want to cheer for Scotland. Winged Hussars Poland is clearly the saving grace. But it's so rare and they don't even paint the sides as flawless. Winged Hussars brings up revenge
Knox, I am constantly impressed with your grasp of history and literature. It's refreshing to see and hear someone who is so well read. Definitely brings your reviews to another level!
I was thinking the exact thing when he just broke into the story of the events before they happened in the song. Knox is very impressive and is one of my favorite reactors.
This!
Same!!!
the reason this music video looks soo much like a movie, is because the team that directed and shoot it etc usually does do movies
And the female voice during the end credits of the video is Floor Jansen of Nightwish, whom is married to Sabatons drummer Hannes
Knox you've entered, probably, one of the deepest rabbit holes in metal.
What's soo cool about Sabaton is that their music is almost always about some war related historical event or character. They also have a history channel on which they upload 20 min video about the song and the whole story behind it, which is soo interesting! And of course their music is great
If you want to react to more heavy songs from them I'd recommend great war, price of a mile, the final solution, and 1916. All of those songs are really heavy and emotional but well worth the watch imo.
Don’t forget about En Livstid I Krig
@@Archangel1862 that's also a good one. Tbh they really do have a ton of good emotional songs. No bullets fly, a lifetime of war/en livistid I krig, Versailles and it's sister song that I can't remember the name of for some reason, inmate 4859, long live the king, hearts of iron. I feel like you could just go on and on
Uprising is another one
Bismarck as well
Aterno dominatos
The goddess at the end is none other than Floor Jansen the lead singer of the band nightwish and wife to Sabaton’s drummer Hannes.
We need more sabaton❤
Thanks for a great reaction, I do appreciate how well you know history before we even get into a song. My favorite music video from Sabaton would have to be the animated video for "No Bullets Fly". Amazing story and also gets very personal. Keep that one in mind if you return to Sabaton. Greetings from Iceland.
Yes!!! I concur, please do No Bullets Fly!
Oh, yes! That's one of my favorites, it's such a cool story.
Sabaton, man. Blessing for everyone who's metalhead and history geek. You just HAVE to hear more, reaction or otherwise.
sabaton is a great band, especially if you love history. here are a few songs i'd recommend in no particular order:
ghost division, night witches, shiroyama, bismarck, resist and bite, 40:1, the unkillable soldier
i'm always looking forward to more reactions, but especially if you'd do more of sabaton. keep up the good work ;)
You missed defence of Moscow and uprising
Also "To hell and back"!
Father, dreadnought, heck, ALL of their music.
@@ribshubmathur5859 and 1916
Oh! And Attack of the Dead Men!
1916, No Bullets Fly and En Livstid I Krig are definitely songs worth looking at
I'm so excited for this one. Please, please, do more from them.
Sabaton are near and dear to my heart as they are from a small town not too far from where I grew up. I saw them live in a fairly seedy bar many, many years ago ❤
They won the award "Enlightener of the Year" this year for going above and beyond to educate their audience. This award usually goes to journalists or academics or the likes, so they are the first rock band to get it.
Wow! Jag visste inte att de vunnit årets folkbildare ❤
I'm a bit surprised it took you this long to get to Sabaton. You love history. Great reaction. Please listen to both the English and Swedish version of A lifetime at war/En livstid i krig. It's fascinating to hear/read the lyrics back to back. If you do, start with the English version.
Yes!! Please react to more Sabaton!
I'd highly recommend Great War, Stormtroopers, and Attack Of The Dead Men
Knox, given how much love you've shown for world history, Sabaton would likely become your favorite metal band of all time if you listen to more of their stuff. They almost exclusively write music based on real military conflicts over time.
And they don't judge or get political. They just tell the stories and make amazing music.
Yes definitely do more Sabaton. The one i would highly suggest is 'No Bullets Fly', but if you do that one you have to do the version that includes the animated story video, as it gives you a clear idea of the subject material and has a very touching personal note at the end of it.
One thing you gotta love from Sabaton is that they always include a guitar solo.
It seems our wishes have been answered my friends. He reacts to Sabaton. May he continue to. The beauty and genius of Sabaton's music is hard to overstarte.
This just made my entire evening-
Not only do you experience my absolute favorite band for the first time literal hours after I subscribed to your channel, but the first song of them you listen to is also the first I ever knew?? Hell yeah!
I love how closely you pay attention to all the little details! And that energy you felt, good ol Sabaton-Effect
What makes this even more powerful is this is a true story. I'm a simple man though, when I see Knox react to metal I watch.
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!!!!!!
If you like being immersed in historical moments through music as much as I do, then Sabaton is something you'll want to dive deep into. They do focus on military history, but through the battles construct the entire era around the topic of each song. I can only recommend you keep checking out more from them, they have many great songs! My personal recommendation, especially if you're looking for something with incredible production value, would be Bismarck.
Most likely been mentioned before, but _No Bullets Fly_ by Sabaton is another song that never fails to leave me teary-eyed.
At the end you hear the beautiful Floor Jansen, lead singer for Nightwish. She is married to the blond guy Hannes (Drummer).
You really should do more Nightwish - you did not get a full glimpse of their sound. Every song is different and like Sabaton, many are an amazing journey.
Sabaton is power, Sabaton is epic, Sabaton is true, Sabaton is life, Sabaton is spirit, Sabaton is the most beautiful and listenable songs!
Sabaton should be far more known. The album that this is on is downright incredible.
I swear there wasn't even a single dud on their last two albums
Fun fact about the piano in this video, they held a giveaway for one of the keys that survived the explosion and had the whole band's signatures on it.
No bullets fly is a huge one to do, but definitely check them out in general! They're so good.
You definitely have to check out more Sabaton. With your history knowledge, you'll enjoy a lot more of their stuff too.
as Sabaton enjoyer, I'm happy you finally react to my favorite song straight away. hopefully you react more of Sabaton, such as Bismarck, Coat of Arms, Seven Pillars of Wisdom and more
So excited you are reacting to Sabaton. All/Most of their songs are based in historical events. Their lyrics are amazing. The Christmas Truce was the 1st song I heard of them as well. There is a great interview of the lead singer about this song and how he became the lead singer of the band.
Take a look at one these songs by them next.
To Hell and Back
Dreadnought
Stormtroopers
Great War
Shirioyama
All are great choices.
Bismark is another great one
Oh wow, never would have expected a Sabaton reaction from The Knoxhill. Here's hoping for more. 😄
Happy to see you react to Sabaton, they're a gem of a band. personal favourites are Bismarck, Soldier of Heaven, Attack of the Dead Men, and The Red Baron. Learning snippets of history through song is super-cool.
Sabaton do something truly special, they highlight so many truly incredible people and events from history, many that just don't get the attention they deserve. There's a partnering Sabaton history channel that gives a lot of the backstory to each of their songs, worth checking out too.
I've been anticipating the Sabaton reactions!! Your history and music knowledge is perfect for reaction to Sabaton!!!!
I was thinking the same thing!!
And nightwish singer floors voice at the end is great
The pride of Swedish heavy metal Sabaton almost all their songs are based on unbiased historical facts Sabaton don't pick a side they just sing about the facts
The current lineup
Joakim Broden - singer
Par Sundstrom - bass guitar
Tommy Johansen - lead guitarist
Chris Roland - lead guitarist
Hannes van Dahl - drums
You mention Trans Siberian Orchestra that would be a hell of a tour if Sabaton and Trans Siberian Orchestra got together
P.S this particular genre of metal is called Power Metal which is more about powerful uplifting melodies and vibe and feel music playing
Tommy JohanssOn
btw the outro voice was Floor Jansen, formerly the singer of Nightwish and wife of the drummer of sabaton :)
Knox, you should react to Sabaton's - 1916. It's a cover of Motorhead. Has some really powerful lyrics, and what Sabaton did with it is great. They've got a fantastic way of showcasing historical material.
For me personally, the original version hits me more. Lemmy's mourning voice gets me every feckin time, but the Sabaton version is great!
@@ingobordewick6480 I love Lemmy's vocals on the original, but I love the swell of instrumentals in Sabaton's version.
You, Knox Hill, are by far the best music reactor. You don't get lost in the visuals to ignore the lyrics and you focus on everything. Seeing you reacting to Sabaton is awesome every time!
Sabaton is a gem. They have a history channel where a historian covers the historical depth of their tracks. He's a good actor too, so they include him in videos like The Unkillable Soldier where they try to kill him over and over.
The Sabaton Effect is the feeling of patriotism for other nations in another time. I definitely recommend reacting to more of them.
Literally since this video has came out, I have been waiting for a reactor to acknowledge the bars in this song of "we were soldiers. Carried the war on our shoulders for our nations. Is that why we buried our friends?". It's SO overlooked and SO powerful of a line and who could imagine how it felt to feel that anquish?
I hope you check out more by Sabaton. They were the band that first introduced me to metal and they have so many amazing songs about important events such as this one. Please check out Uprising live in Poland. It's such a surreal experience watching them sing about the Warsaw Uprising right where it happened.
One of my favorite moments in history to look at. Love what Sabaton does with history. If you like this one, we would definitely like to see more on the channel, for you to check out.
I'd love more Sabaton reactions. Bismark, Soldier of Heaven, The Unkillable Soldier, The last stand and En Livstid i Krig (live version in Swedish with English subtitles) are some of my favourites.
This was one of the best reactions to Sabaton I've ever seen. You broke the history down, the music down, and the reality of the war. The song has a special meaning to me. My great grandfather fought in France in 1917 and 1918 as part of the American Expeditionary Force in the Signal Corp. I have photos and post cards he got over there.
I'm with the others here, I really hope we get more reactions from you for this wonderful band!
I love the fact, that they sang this song with us live in May. Seen Sabaton for the first time of my life, live this year and they are so amazing. Thanks for this very nice Reaction to one of my favorite Songs of Sabaton (yeah i listen to them more then 10 years now). Thank you!
Love this song!!! And your reactions 😀
Price of a Mile, Resist and Bite, Lady of the Dark, Attack of the Dead Men, The Last Stand, To Hell and Back and 82nd All The Way. are just some of them that are so good. i tried to get one from every album.
Edit: how could i forget No Bullets Fly and The Red Baron.
You have to react to more of Sabaton! They've got so many great songs about the Great War and other historical events
My god I love your passion to history. When watching Sabaton you get a whole new layer of art if you know what they are talking about and you usually always nail it! Love your reactions man! Thank you
Sabaton are real and modern bards in my opinion, telling stories and lessons through music, magically captivating you and getting you excited to learn the history they sing about and bring to light maybe some less talked about but important events
Welcome to the Sabaton Army!
that siren at the end was Floor Jansen. the blond guy hannes who shouted grenade is her husband and drummer. amazing and emotional song
A fact aboit this i love especially is, that sabaton wanted to cover that event for such a long time, but took they took their time with it until they knew, now its time, now they can do it justice
Great to see you react to Sabaton, they're such a great band. They really ignited my interest in history when they released their album Heroes.
Devin Townsend Project - Kingdom
I reckon you will quite enjoy this song and it should be interesting to break down.
And i absolutely love your analysis Knox! You are truly one of extremely few YT personalities whose "reactions" (more like analysis though) are worth watching, as you have so much talent and wealth of knowledge to bring to the table and put in these videos. Love it!
"What siren song is that?". That would be Floor Jansen, lead vocalist of Nightwish and Hannes von Dahl's (Sabaton's drummer) wife.
I discovererd Sabaton not long before this song came out. Theyre an excellent band and excellent story tellers. This song broke me when I first heard it. Then I saw the video and that broke me too. Great reaction and looking forward to more!
This is so beautiful specially for the times. Through your videos I see other bands I probably would have never seen. What we can do with media for the good. This had me in tears because for one thing Knox you have such knowledge about things so I do learn a lot from you. I'm also reminded of things I know. I remember when this happened not that I was there but hearing so much about it.
This was such an amazing story. I'm going to for sure give props to the original band because they did such a great job. The young men some just boys not even men just playing as boys should be doing. But the side of the men, all they've seen & have had to do. It's not easy to let your guard down. So they portrayed that beautifully. Finally everyone letting go collaborating their talents. I could only imagine.
Long story I live alone & love to talk but this reminds me of when I was in basic training & I know a lot of things in basic isn't as real as in war. But when we were on our way to the field we came across some live grenades that were really old so we ended up having to stay in this field till it got cleared for us to go on. After a while people started singing different songs like some guys did some "boys to men" songs. A girl with a beautiful voice sang a song. After a while we were all singing telling jokes even making fun of the sergeants. The sergeants were even joining in. So even in the middle of this really intense experience there was a coming together that ended quickly but for a little while we felt like humans again.
I also think this is something that needs to be put back into the minds of people. War is ugly & there's really no purpose because in the end we're all human beings wanting basically the same things. Freedom, peace, family, Love & I love the Cross at the end because we can get through all of those things if we have Christ.
Man what a great song.
I love that you actually put a lot of thought into your reactions. Also backed up by your good historical knowledge. Something I noticed in your reaction to Rammstein's 'Deutschland' as well.
Btw the female singer of the credits was Floor Jansen from Nightwish. She's married to the drummer of Sabaton 😊
Hey Knox! Bringing history back in mind is what Sabaton does. They focus on Historical events and the stories behind. They talk about people who did outstanding and human things that shouldn't be forgotten. They have also a History Channel on CZcams where they talk about the backgrounds of the songs together with an historian.
A great pick for the next song would be No Bullets Fly. But please make sure you take the animated Story Video! You'll love it!
There is a movie called "Joyeux Noel" which perfectly encapsules the story of the christmas truce, i strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to experience a great rendition of the story. It's incredibly realistic and stay true as much as they can to what actually happened during the truce
Brother knox! You have opened the door to an incredible music collection in Sabaton. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to this band
ohhhh the sabaton rabbit hole! No Bullets Fly animated story video is a 100% MUST WATCH
Others I recommend are
Attack of the Dead Men
The Final Solution
Ghost Division
you really cannot go wrong with Sabaton.
Ending operatic vocals: Floor Jansen - Nightwish
It's funny how that choire at the end you called Syrene voice, and its done by Floor Jansen - Nightwish vocalist and you called her exactly the same a Syren in your Nightwish reaction :D
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!! Floor Jensen!
This has been on the top of my list as my favorite music in my opinion. The song that got me into Sabaton music was "Fields of Verdun", it makes you wanna fight till the end, a huge rush of adrenaline.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Let's Gooooo!!!! SABATON ARMY
Omg Knox I have been waiting for this for ever.
Dude my favorite rapper and reactor reacting to my new favorite band! my mind is melting 🤯
Always love seeing some Sabaton!
I've been waiting for you to react to sabaton for so long! Great that you finally did, really good video and hope you do more sabaton.
Great reaction Knox! Love how you go so in depth as you dissect the song. After the truce happened a lot of those men on both sides didn’t want to fight each other and were deployed in other areas because of it.
I always feel like after watching a Sabaton video, I just sat in a class comprised both of Music and History.
'Bismarck' is another great one by Sabaton!
Oh I’ve been waiting for this breakdown! It’s such a good song
I love your break downs and reactions 👌🏼🇳🇴
Thank you for not skipping the ending credits. ❤️
You gave me a fresh appreciation for this awesome song. Thanks!
F*** Finally. I´m so glad you finally decided to do Sabaton. Please continue doing their songs! As youve noticed their songs are overflowing with history emotion and the music itself. Storywise Id say do "No bullets fly" or "Father" next, emotionwise Id say either "The final solution" or "1916", and simply music wise Id say "soldier of heaven" or "The first soldier".
Keep up your great work man, appreciate every video!
Yes, Sabaton! They're great and hope you react to more of their music.
Sabaton is always amazing, Night Witches is great song to react next time
Great great great reaction! Deeply commented, perfectly pointing out the more important moments! Many compliments!
I've been waiting for you to react to sabaton for.....a long time....thank you I look forward to more
Hey, Knox! New viewer here! Please do more Sabaton songs! You will love it! And yes, Sabaton is from Sweden and Joakim the singer has such awesome gritty voice.
brother please please do more of these, there are sooo many great Sabaton song that i'm sure you'll love, they do all sort of historical events mainly war related.
What a lovely seasonal selection!
Definitely should do some more of these reactions as well
Sabaton is amazing. Such incredible historical metal ballads
Finally. good vids btw
