American's First Time Reaction to SABATON - The Attack of the Dead Men - Lyrics, Live, and History

- Опубліковано 10 гру 2021
- During the Battle of Osowiec Fortress in 1915, German Field Marshal Paul Von Hindenburg ordered the bombardment of the fortress with an artillery barrage of chlorine gas to eradicate the 900 Russian defenders. After the bombardment 7,000 German soldiers advanced upon the fortress expecting little to no resistance when 100 disfigured Russians, coughing up blood and pieces of their own lungs, surprised the Germans with a countercharge. The zombie-like Russians opened fire and attacked the Germans with affixed bayonets causing mass panic and forced the Germans to flee back into their own traps inflicting more casualties. The remaining Russian defenders who survived the gas attacks seized the opportunity to raze the fortress and withdraw while the Germans hesitated. "The Attack of the Dead Men" spawned German legends about unkillable Russian soldiers rising from the dead to fight.

========= The Attack of the Dead Men LYRICS =========
Turmoil at the front
Wilhelm's forces on the hunt
There’s a thunder in the east
It’s an attack of the deceased
They’ve been facing poison gas
7000 charge en masse
Turn the tide of the attack
And force the enemy to turn back
And that’s when the dead men are marching again
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again
Two combatants' spar
Hindenburg against the Tsar
Move in 12 battalions large
Into a Russian countercharge
They’ll be fighting for their lives
As their enemy revives
Russians won’t surrender, no
Striking fear into their foe

Morale of the story: don't fight against an enemy that know they are going to die and have nothing left to live for....
I mean it's morale knows from thousands years, from Sun Tzu Art of War:
“Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve."
@@Scytian1 I saw the first comment and thought the same thing lmao
Or rather, they have a lot to fight for, they were soldiers, they defended their homeland... But the Americans, they have never known what that means, at least for now...
Русские не сдаются!
Or you could blast them till they can't walk.
The fact that after you gas the hell out of your enemy position you believe its an easy victory only to find 100 or so men charging at you looking like a literal horde of zombies. Like I knew the Russians were crazy and scary but damn... that's gotta haunt you till the day you die.
For the motherland everything ✌️🤪🇷🇺
it's almost like if you're gonna die you might as well die taking as many bastards who killed ya with you.
This is easily the most disturbing and yet inspirational storys ive read from WW1
And the song is very good.
Joakim had a special microphone rigged in the mask. He is actually singing.
Such a catchy song, i can only imagine how much this fills russians with pride when listening to them.
Probably similar to me listing to the lost battalion, and their refusal to surrender.
Yep, pretty much the same, cause for those two message being the same - Never Give Up!
I feel pride from this song and I’m not even Russian!
@@Roach_Dogg_JR What you're feeling is called the Sabaton Effect, where you feel pride and patriotism for a country that isn't your own.
its basically the closet thing russia has to thermopolyea where a few legendary tough men did somethign everyone thought was impossible driving off a much larger and on paper superior force.
This was the song I was looking forward to most when we were waiting for the Great War album to drop.. and was not disappointed. It's by far my favorite song from the album. I really love these deep dive videos you do, please continue with them.
Thanks, glad you're enjoying the videos.
@@TouchyReactions I forgot to add, there's a live video from the Great Tour in Russia as well where Radio Tapok performs with them, and his video is amazing as well. Well worth checking out in your own time as well.
@@greaper1976 Был в марте прошлого года на этом концерте в Москве. Это было нечто, Sabaton и Radio tapok на одной площадке. Было мощно!
The 12" picture disk EP for Attack of the Dead Men Live in Moscow with Radio Tapok is possibly the best looking vinyl EP they've released to date (though the etched Bismarck EP might outdo it. Have to wait for snail mail to deliver it from Malta 😡). Side one is full color gas masked covered face with all the fumes rising up and side by is the zombie-esque Russian soldiers, blood dripping from the cloths covering their mouths, coming through the "fog" of war. Really epic design to go with a epic song about an epic military battle. Perfect.
This is perhaps my favorite in all Sabaton songs. When I got the album, I listened only this song for two weeks every morning and afternoon on my way to work, lol.
First time I found this band was when they dropped "Christmas Truce" and have been hooked on them ever since. I am not the biggest fan of metal music. But this band I just love and can't get enough of them. Their chose to bring history forward speaks to me. History that many have possibly forgotten or even knew about. I have even taken time to research some of the events and people they put to song. Something I have not done in a long time due to life getting in the way and have forgotten (myself) how much I love history. History (the good, the bad and the ugly) is important. For without it we never learn from our mistakes. May we all find peace and respect in our lives.
Absolutely
If school won't teach you anything of history - Sabaton definitely will !!! 😅
Half a year late, but for the Live video - yes, he had a microphone built into his gas mask. The dedication of Joakim.
Not sure if anyone else have said this, but the reason the Germans fled from the Russians they tried to gas was that they expected everyone in Osowiec to be dead and were terrified when the Russians slowly moved into defensive positions whilst coughing up blood (which may or may not have contained pieces of their lungs. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). To be fair, if I were a soldier in the early 20th century and were moving towards an expected graveyard of dead corpses and seing the "corpses" move aroundready to charge me, I'd be pretty freakin scared.
Also, interesting fact: although the Nazis used gas on people they believed were "untermenschen" like the jews, homosexuals and gypsies for example like no one's business, they despised the idea of using gas in battle.
Well thanks for the info friend, I think I really like history !
Also I can’t stop listening the song. It’s pretty cool.
@@sal5354 No problem. History are really interesting and have really interesting stories to be told.
And I agree, this is a song that's demands repeated plays
Their refusal to use gas as a weapon was because Adolf Hitler was himself the victim of a gas attack. He spent several weeks in a field hospital blinded because of exposure to mustard gas.
From what I heard about german soldiers on the eastern front in ww2 that when the gasmask was used that was usually more to protect the face from the cold weather
Correct - this was also due to the fact that Hitler got hit by gas during WW1 and was scared of it.
Be sure to check out the Radio Tapok cover of this song. He translated the song into Russian, and Sabaton produced his video as if it was one of their music videos.
This is when Indy was doing behind the scenes shots during covid this I believe was there first concert back from lock downs
I was in that London crowd and will be again in March 2022.
I can hear the tiniest bit of breathlessness in the live, which suggests to me that he was actually singing it.
No Doubt
Very good reaction!!!! Yes Joakim (lead singer in Sabaton) have a headset inside the mask on stage! Have a great time and look forward to next reaction! Many older good songs, like Wolfpack, the album Carolus Rex, about the Swedish Empire !
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
The live show in London, I was there in the front left, it was a fantastic show to watch!
This song is about ww1 where Soldier of the Russian empire held back multiple attack of the German empire for 7 months at the Osowiec Fortress, the Russian where ill equipped against the Germans when they released the very first batch of chlorine and bromine gasses into the Frontline, the Russians did not have gas mask since gas like this was becoming new to the front, so they used rags to cover up but it still didn't help, as the Germans was getting closer to the fortress the Russian would raise up and charge the German lines as they are coughing up blood and pieces of their lungs, seeing this most of the Germans would retreat calling them zombies or undead, this made it on a news paper as they labeled it attack of the dead men.
this shows how determined the Russian forces at fortress Osowiec where
@@holodocprime oh, thanks I didn't realized I put down mustard, it was a typo, my new phones been acting up so my auto correct is abit stupid, it changes it completely to a different word that does fit what I had originally intended to place,
Knowing from *Sabaton History* how DEADLY That Gas actually Is..
It freaks me more out now than It should..
Also like the story you told during the history segment!
Thanks
Yes, there's a microphone in the mask.
Also, for a story about Sabaton being awesome, check out one of the Great Tour lives of this song in Russia. There's a cover artist they had contacted before releasing this song. They had HIM translate it into Russian and release it 2 days early. They were actually in his music video, and in their Russian shows, he was on stage singing the verses in Russian.
I've never been waited so much for someone to put out a reaction video
Given it's 3 30am. I was going to sleep. But I noticed this was up. My priorities are clearly being shown.
Ahh.. I snoozed off. Sleep really was the right option.
Lol
Love the new videos for sabaton with the video, live video and history video
Glad you like them!
Awesome of you to do all 3 in one video. Love it ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TouchyReactions This is surely in my top 10 Sabaton songs, but then again, I`ve heard them all ;)
Joakim's mask is customized/custom made with a microphone inside the mask. He also has a trigger to control the smoke from his backpack himself. And the gas bottles have the Yamaha logo.
Very Cool
This song gets stuck in your head for days after listening to it, so catchy! And yes..Joakim is singing live in headset under the mask.
Then..the story is horrible, the things we as humans can do to eachother!
Sabaton has a way to make sure we learn about history and even likening to do so!
Aaah, this one just gives me the chills every time, I love it! This one along with Red Baron, Fields of Verdun and Seven Pillars Of Wisdom are definately my favourites on the album.
This song is just insanly catchy and at the same time heavy. I love it. The story is itself horrible and amazing. I really enjoy these deep dives. Great work.
Thank You
To answer your question he has a microphone inside a mask during the live performance
I love this Format my dude! Perfectly ordered so that the people who want the deep dive can hang out the whole vid through and the ones who just want the song reaction get it right away!
Keep up the excellent work, Sir.
Also a little bit of trivia: The Defense of Moscow was originally written by Radio Tapok (the Russian cover artist who was featured in the History section) and then Sabaton did a Cover... it's a wonderfully poetic circle of Artist and Cover Artist exchanging music and the whole world benefitting as a result.
Amazing and it makes us Russians look like a bunch of badasses. But horrible when the Germans started with these type of weapons.
Fields of Verdun is another great song on this album. Thank you for sharing your stories. I’m sure that gas mask mishap wasn’t very fun to experience, but it makes for a great story to tell later!
Thanks for watching. It's all about making stories.
Glad you're adding to each of them the Sabaton History version too ;)
My father loved to paint and he taught some of His stuff to me.
Also he loved history and especially European war history because he witnessed WWII as a child here in Finland.
Now to The point.
I remember one time watching him painting and he explained " Now we add some Myrkyn vihreä = poison green"
And then he told this war story to explain why he called it poison green.
I dont know is it used widely at art circles but that iswhat he called it.
Awesome reaction! This is one of my top 3 Sabaton songs! Joakim has an earpiece with a mic inside the gas mask.
My first ever Sabaton merch was attack of the deadmen one of my top 10 songs, joakim has a meeting c built-in to the gasmask
now that they introduced Radio TAPOK you should check out defence of Moskow ist a radio tapok original were sabaton did the cover version.
Outnumbered 70 to 1. Insides dissolving from the chlorine in your lungs. Barely able to stand. What's the most Russian thing to do? CHARGE!
Love your deep dive Videos, toucing on all the aspects around one of their Songs. And happy you liked the incredible Hook of this Song. Sabaton like always, if you want to learn abount History ( this time about the Horror of chemical Warfare) and headbang while learning it.
Thanks for a great reaction video! With love from Sweden :)
Thank you
Sabaton is a band that wouldn't play a track for one of the main parts of their music. There have been performances where Joakim didn't have a voice anymore and Tommy took over the singing for example. They say they rather don't play than act as if they are playing. When you see them on stage they will be performing themselves somehow. Even if that means using a different singer or something.
Check out the version Sabaton did live in Russia with Radio Tapok
Yes he has a mic in the mask, it took a very long time to get it right with feel and sound.
Great reaction, loved how much you got into the live version.
Glad you enjoyed it
The other gas related track they did was "Last Dying Breath" about the stalling/defensive workings outside of Belgrade. Highly recommend it sometime down the line.
I thought you would say A Ghost in the Trenches.
Also, how does Last Dying Breath relate to gas? That was 1914, when tear gas was the only gas anyone ever used. In fact, tear gas was the most widely used chemical used throughout the war. It wasn’t until 1915 that poison gas was used.
My friend, i am from Belgrade Serbia, and there was no gas attack on Belgrade in 1915, mostly artilery and infintry units
@@Vr4nj3s I was saying 1915 was when gas was first used anywhere in the war. So if you were saying earlier that Last Dying Breath, which is about the brave defense and eventual fall of Belgrade in 1914, is related to gas, all I’m asking is - what gas? As I said before, in 1914, all anyone used was tear gas.
@@lionellines6351 Sorry i forgot to mention original comment not you..
@@Vr4nj3s No problem. I’m sorry, too. I told you off for misunderstanding me, and kept criticizing the original comment, but failed to check if that was you who said that to begin with.
Fact that CC in history video not even once wrote Osowiec correctly is hillarious to me
Every day you learn something is a good day. Really enjoyed the triple feature, try out the music video and history to a subject they mentioned ‘7 Pillars of Wisdom.’
That Video should be coming to my channel next week.
Attack of the Dead Men, like most of Sabaton’s songs has a great hook, with both the lyrics and the main riff 🤘🎸🎸
Look at russian cover of this song by Radio Tapok. It have a very good clip showing this battle. Radio Tapok even sings this song with Sabaton on thier concert in Moscow.
Another great deep dive!
Glad you think so! Since you were an early critic of my style it means a lot to see your comments. You helped me improve. Thanks
@@TouchyReactions Was I critical to you in a mean way? If so, I apologize. My intentions are never to be mean - only constructive. I've seen so many new channels come and go, so I've got a decent idea what it takes to be successful in the reaction world. I often seek out brand new channels and try to help them along. I hope I never come across as mean.
Now that you know the song, you should do a reaction to the Russian cover of attack of the dead men by radio tapok that was done with the help of sabaton, and for the live version do the sabaton live performance in Moscow featuring radio tapok.
The song was Russian soldiers defending a fortress in 🇵🇱
It's both a great song and piece of history. A battle between the Germans and the Russians turns into a zombie attack
I highly recommend checking out the band 1914. All of their songs/albums are world war one themed. Start with the song ...and a cross now marks his place. It has very personal lyrics, they used an actual letter sent to a mother after her son was killed in combat. Loving the videos, hope to see many more from you!
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Coat of Arms next !
It's on the list, not sure when I'll get to it.
@@TouchyReactions Thank you ! I love your videos and thank you for your service.
Moral of the story: Don't try to fight men who are just too fucking angry to die
Great reaction (again), really like the concept of doing all 3 videos!
Think you should do ”Seven pillars of wisdom” from the same album, it’s about Lawrence of Arabia, the best song on the Great War album in my opinion!
Also, you should do the Carolux Rex album (and learn about the rise and fall of the Swedish empire) the best Sabaton album (guess a majority of Saboton fans agree about that). Start from the beginning of the album (the rise) and continue to the end (the fall) of the album (you have reacted to one song on that album already (en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war))) don’t think you’ll be disappointed on the music and storytelling.
Best regards from Sweden
(Living just 45 miles from Sabatons hometown Falun, there they have a rock festival every year in August).
Hello my friend ! Have you checked out "The white death", by Sabaton, the historical version ?
Yes, you can find it on my channel
Jan III Sobieski saved Vienna and the Empire of Leopold I Habsburg and did not reimburse the costs of the expedition as promised, and his granddaughter signed the partition of Poland with the Tsar of Russia and the Emperor of Germany
...and the camera man hates Chris. There's no solos what i've seen in this tour. Weird
Microphone in the mask, boss. Good stuff.
Hes got a wireless microphone built into his mask 👍
Yeah teargas should be banned for civil use as well as military its not harmless like they say it can certainly kill in the right circumstances. If it needs to be used it should be used only under extreme circumstances.
You should react to radio tapok's Russian cover of this song either as a video or in your spare time
Does this historic fact make the Hindenburg (leader of German troops of that battle) guilty of the very first war crime of Germany. Gas used by Germany in WW2 also, poison gas grenades and other tear gas grenades used.
I couldn't request Sabatons Rorkes Drift, Back in Control and 1648. Also I subbed👍 if you are interested in the History behind the Christmas Truce there's a video called Extra Credit Christmas Truce it does a very good job of retelling the event
Welcome aboard!
@@TouchyReactions It's by Extra History couldn't remember the channel name.
I read the Germans retreated because the gassed Russians' skin was chemically burnt, they were bleeding from their eyes and noses, they could only moan, growl and gasp but not speak anymore - in short they appeared like zombies. They were in such an adrenaline rush and shock they did not feel pain anymore and kept on marching even when they were hit by bullets. So the Germans believed, they were actually fighting an army of undead soldiers, which scared them so much they retreated, despite outnumbering the remaining defenders about 20:1.
I agree with rasungod0, and probably many more who suggested it, that you definitely need to watch Radio Tapoks version of this song. It's a great version, and a fantastic video too
JOAKIEM is actually wearing a gas mask fitted with a mic in the live videp
Nice
Loving the format with these deep dives. If I could make one small recommendation, turn off the auto-generated subs on the history segment. They're so bad, it becomes a distraction.
Will do
it was ww1 german vs a russian stronghold
i find radio tapoks russian translated cover version of the song to be better than the original english version
If you wanna check out their song about Lawrence of Arabia, listen to Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Indie Nidel the host of Sabaton History plays T.E. Lawrence in the official music video.
I reacted to it today. I'll have the edited video done today or tomorrow. It will be on Patreon until Dec 19th when it goes to UA-cam.
Technically many of these people on the both sides were Polish. I'm proud XD
Oh yeah!!!!!
Надеюсь трагедия нашего народа их чему-нибудь научит...либо придётся доказывать...жаль нашей крови...а и всё хиханьки-да-хахоньки,дедов не осромим
Слишком много потеряно напрасно.
If you think that is bad listen to The Last Stand and do the Sabato History episode about it please
The have a wireless mic in the mask before he went out
he does have a mic in his mask.
Когда ж эта Европа угомонится и перестанет раз в 100 лет идти всем своим табором на Россию.
Thank you for your great reaction to this amazing song!! Like otheres I recommend you to watch Radio Tapok's cover featuring Sabaton! I also, if you are interested in this story, recommend you to watch s short film about this, only 23 min. ua-cam.com/video/LNqeZVUkEKA/v-deo.html I prefer the original version as I understand Russian, but English dubbing is fine too. The story is unusual and filmed by World of Warships. I live about 180 km away from Osowiec (2,5 h drive) but I've never been there before and I plan to go there next Spring. There is not much left of it but now is a must for me to go there.
It's a cool song, but the Russian version is just as good. Sabaton knows how to do things!👍
This is the best way to teach history
Oh kinda disappointed the live one wasn't in Moscow
Did the gas chamber in 02 at Knox for my basic as a tanker.
Did it clean out your sinuses?
@@TouchyReactions Oh it wrecked everything. Snot running down my nose uncontrollably, trying to cough up anything and just empty dry heaves. Had to do full MOPP 4 a few months later as I crossed the berm into Iraq.
my dad has sinus issues and is sick alot maybe i should tear gas him
Worth a try...lol
There is one short film in youtube made by Wargaming about this event, can you, please, make a reaction to it (it has English subs)?
What is it called?
@@TouchyReactions "Атака мертвецов: Осовец". Короткометражный фильм.
ua-cam.com/video/U518G8fUk6o/v-deo.html
You really should checkout their Own history channel. It's really interesting.
I, as a Swede, have great respect for Russia. you are our historical brothers before the serpent from the west tries to destroy us.
You should turn off the captions for the history portion. It's completely incapable of making sense of foreign words and just distracts everyone. Also, you can completely understand the historian Indie, so there is no point to the captions anyway.
Good point. I'll do that going forward.
Thanks to the Russian soldiers, they played an important role in this chemical arms race. Read history, after that, they almost began to ban chemical weapons!!! If only nuclear weapons had been banned after Hiroshima and Nagasaki!!!!
7000 vs 100 zombie nutters
That autopronounce is so bad xD Look at it! I love You YT but just be smart. All praise the algorithm but I wish that this algorithm will be smarter. #SkynetAgeAboveU
who ever has done subtitles should be sacked...
The people responsible for sacking the subtitles crew, have been sacked...
Говно реакция. Ты вырезал тапка и с начала и до конца.
The first and only time Russia won a battle when not massively outnumbering the enemy. 😉
Oh, boy... You should read something about russian-turkish wars.
Радо тапок кавер ,по лутшее будет оригинала ,radio tapok
