    Sabaton is a Swedish metal band with lyrics of war history. One of my favourite bands. They started in 1999 and have just released their new album. And it's incredible good.
    You might have heard the name Sabaton when you reacted to Nightwish, the drummer of Sabaton is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish.
    Sabaton has a huge list of good songs and they are known for their awesome videos.
    Bismark
    No bullets fly animated video
    Night witches animated video
    The last stand
    Swedish Pagans live from Wacken
    and many more... And yes, it's was Floor Jansen who was singing the outro, listen once again and don't turn the video off during the credits

    Welcome to Sabaton World. Not only great songs that tell great stories, but they have their own CZcams history channel so you can get the full story behind their songs. Beyond that, guitarist Tommy Johansson (who is a phenomenal singer in his own right) has his own channel where he does among other things, Disney/Sabaton song mashups. Needless to say, you could easily get lost in the Sabaton rabbit hole.

For your next foray into Sabaton, may I suggest Night Witches, the true story of a Women's fighter wing from World War II - also, the very beautiful clear voice that you hear during the credits of Christmas Truce, is Floor singing.

    Lead singer Joakim Broden does roll the 'r's , I think I read somewhere it helps him with pronunciations, as English is a 2nd language for them. The band is named for a Sabaton, the foot piece of a medieval suit of armor.
    Most of their songs are written about Military history. this one being about the one day unofficial cease fire on the Western Front in Dec 1914.
    The first soldier out of the Trenches was drummer Hannes Van Dahl.
    Their tour comes to the USA in October with Dutch symphonic metal band, Epica, opening.
    More Sabaton to try: Bismarck (sinking of the German battleship), Soldier of Heaven (White Friday avalanches Dec 1916), Primo Victoria (D-Day 1944) , The Unkillable Soldier (Sir Adrian Carton De Wiart), or the animated videos for Night Witches (WWII Russian 588th all female night bomber regiment), or No Bullets Fly (German fighter escorts damaged B-17 back to English channel)

    Sabaton do not do copyright strikes, just thought that you should know. You should check out more stuff that they have done, I very much recommend their video "Bismarck", you should do a reaction to it, also make sure that you have subtitles on, most of their videos have the lyrics with them.
    Almost all of Sabatons songs are about real life events, there are very few exceptions.

      Another one going down the great Sabaton rabbit hole.
      95% of their songs are about history.
      Don't worry about copyright claims by them. They are so chilled about reactions and it can also happen that they or partners of them comment under your videos.
      You should react to Bismarck(about the German WWII battleship) and No Bullets Fly Animated History Video(watch it till the end, sometimes there comes an ad right before the last part that fooled some reactors).
      After this you know two more great Songs/Videos and your Channel probably has a lot more views. Sabaton seems to be a kickstarter sometimes.
      By the way, they have their own Sabaton History Channel on CZcams where they tell way more about the song topics.
      You could react to the songs I mentioned and after one song, dive into the Sabaton History Episode to that song. Just a suggestion.

So I had to hear some of her stuff. That's when I discovered Nightwish. As a child from the 60s and 70s (I'm 62 now) I heard metal and hard rock but was not that big of a fan. Then along comes Sabaton and then Nightwish and all theses years later I have become an convert.

    Sabaton is a Swedish Band whose songs are about historical military events, told from the perspective of the common soldier without choosing sides. This song is about the Christmas Truce of 1914. German soldiers were singing Christmas carols and the British troops started answering by singing Christmas carols as well. An unofficial truce was declared by the soldiers in the trenches and they ended up meeting in no man's land and exchanging gifts, sharing food, and playing football. A beautiful moment of humanity in the hell that is war. This is an amazing piece of art that perfectly captures the brotherhood of arms that all of us who have ever served are a part of. I really connect emotionally with this song and then when Floor starts singing those gorgeous vocals in the outro it gets me in the feels every time. Just beautiful! Got tickets to see them and Epica together in Boston in the fall which is going to be an incredible show.

    Sabaton is a Swedish band that focuses their music on historical events/people. I would suggest Screaming Eagles which is about the 101st airborne division and the battle of Bastoan(forgive the spelling). Also their song To Hell and Back is a good one about Audey Murphy who was the most decorated soldier in all of WWII. My son loves the song Bismark. They actually filmed the music video on the back of a boat, out on open water. You may want to check out the channel Sabaton History for your own enjoyment. It explains a lot about the history behind each of their songs.

Earlier ones: Bismark, No Bullets Fly, Great War, Final Solution (this brought me to tears). There are just too many to chose from. Anything you check out from their CZcams Channel will be good.

    Great reaction and welcome to a new rabbit hole!🤘 (And an army of fans marching in...😄). I've seen a lot of great suggestions in the comments here and I just say, do them all!😄🤘 I highly recommend their official music videos for ""Bismarck" (about the giant, German battleship from WW2), "Seven pillars of wisdom" (about Lawrence of Arabia), "To hell and back" (about Audie Murphy, the most decorated American soldier from WW2), "Devil dogs" (about the U S Marines in WW1. The footage is from their N. American tour, 2019, I think it was), "The Royal Guard" (about the Swedish Royal Guard, that's been around for 500 years. Awesome music video!) and "The unkillable soldier" (about a badass soldier, who survived just about everything... ).
    Official lyric video for "Carolus Rex" (about a badass king of the Swedish empire).
    For some live stuff, I'd suggest "En livstid i krig" (=A lifetime of war. Live from Gothenburg, 2020. English translation on, the song is in Swedish!), "Uprising" (live from Woodstock, Poland, 2012).
    I'll get back with more suggestions... 😉 Greetings from Sweden! 🤘🇸🇪

    Musically this gives me Trans Siberian Orchestra vibes.

    Hi
    Check out Bismarck for a good song and fantastic video.
    Check out Great war for a fantastic song and just as good video.

    that´s a deep Rabbithole you are entering. Stick with the live stuff of them and the animated story videos, that are mentioned plenty times in the comments ;-) trust the fanbase. we know what´s best for a newbie to get the best experience of their music. this band is just as awesome as you can imagine.
