sabaton reaction trivium reaction metallica reaction sabaton christmas truce #sabaton #soldierofheaven #reaction
Pop stars take notice,write about something deeper then a failed relationship. This is the music that is eternal.
lol Sabaton is as generic as most pop music.
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 then you didn’t understand shit. Sorry to be so harsh but wow you didn’t understand basically anything they’re saying with all their music.
@@larsmlr4525
Sabaton are what fifteen year olds who like eighties rock listening to after getting into finding out about Iron Maiden and wishing Maiden were a tamer, more emotional, and less metal as they love to sing along to Journey and Aerosmith on the local classic rock station. Perfect fit except for the fact that Sabaton sounds like German beer hall music more than heavy metal. That’s where the massive alcoholism present in the former Eastern Block comes into play. Drunk young Slavs listening to beer hall music while pretending to recreate the Battle of Kursk in their bedrooms.
TL;DR
Basically a crappy, generic beer chugging military LARP band.
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 not to sound rude, but it sounds like you don't like their music, which begs the question, why exactly are you here?
@Dragon Reader Preach it buddy!
I've learned more about history from Sabaton than I ever did my actual history classes.
RIGHT!!! I am a huge history buff and I had never heard of this tragic event until this song was released
Man it really sucks because history should be super important so we can shape a better future and not repeat it all over
Sabaton is what history class wishes it was
Then you should have paid more intention. Sabaton teaches nothing, they tell stories. And stories are not history, scientifically speaking.
@@matthiaskleindienst9146 that is completely false they have a entire history channel called Sabaton History that explains the history of their songs which all have
Soldier! You can now rest in peace, Sabaton have now brought your story in to the light for the world to see!
yeah Sabaton is such a nice way to deliver history in an interesting way
Thats right.
Love Sabaton, greetings from Poland.
Honestly, the song made me want to start an expedition to recover the frozen bodies
@@erichvondonitz5325 you got at least one member we have to preserve history just let me know and I will join you
@@nfllockdown6063 aight, we shall send these soldiers home
“I saw the end of war”
That line immediately makes me think of the quote: “Only the dead have seen the end of war”.
This song being from the perspective of one of the soldiers who perished in those avalanches makes that line even more impactful.
I was looking for this comment.
This is more accurate for men who froze at their posts in the alps. Such a powerful song
The Italian Front in WW1 was such an overlooked theater of the war.
Millions of casualties among the Italians and Austro-Hungarians in freezing cold temperatures at insanely high altitudes.
Not to mention the number of soldiers who died from avalanches. Both sides would try to bury the other in snow.
They're still finding bodies of soldiers to this day.
and many more were never found
When a battle is called The 10th(-11th-12th...) Battle of X, then you know things are baaaaaad.
I've hiked those mountains many times. The scars of the war still mark the land, people there dedicated their lives to bring peace to those that died there. It's humbling.
Sabaton wrote this song because they recently found one of the soldiers of heaven. 100 years of standing watch, this one man finally came home.
@@aetherofthenorth9700 such a sad story
Lest we forget. What a beautiful song. The lyric "I have seen it all, but none will hear my story." is so powerful. It gets me every time. So many stories that would be otherwise lost to history. Sabaton allows these unsung heroes to be recognized and remembered.
White Friday isn't well known, but it is one of the worst tragedies of WW I. I love how Joakim sang from a dead soldier's point of view. Sabaton spoke for the dead in this one. Very powerful.
I think the band that gets me the most excited with new music is actually Sabaton.
I just love their music!
Indeed, got to agree with you 🤘
me too
Same
Oh absolutely! Been following the band for the past decade and have never been disappointed! Metal gods!
Definitely agree! Every new song they've released in the past few years was an instant hit to me. Sabaton is without a doubt one of the most unique bands of all time in my opinion.🤘
on their official website we can read this:
About "Soldier Of Heaven"
High above in the alps close to heaven, in the most extreme circumstances, men fought and protected the borders during WWI. “Soldier Of Heaven” tells the story of those brave soldiers
who froze to death, whose bodies still remain under the snow… till today.
Damn
They need to go change the lyrics to the Moscow song now. Because Russia is now the bad guys. Ukraine will never give in will never surrender! Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@dimwitsixtytwelve wrong place for that bud
@@skwal5464 maybe but russia is being the asshole guys
@@dimwitsixtytwelve i never say it wasn't true
I'm from Michigan, I'm no stranger to the cold. I actually smile and cheer a little whenever the temperature gets below 80 here in Austin. But I cannot imagine the fear of dying from said cold, or even worse being buried under an avalanche to suffocate or freeze or both. God bless those who did not come home and grow old. RIP
I lived in Michigan from April til November this year and had to go back south when the temps started dropping low. I couldn't keep the heat in my camper. Reading your comment puts this song in a perspective I understand better. Gave me goosebumps.
Rip soldiers. ❤️
That synth is a specific kind of synth that was popular in Italy in the 80's I believe so because part of the troops that died there were Italian. Also about the avalanche I believe it hit both sides because they both had the idea to bombard the mountain on the enemies side to cause an avalanche devastating both sides
Do you have any sources on the synth thing? That's pretty cool if it's real
I kind of imagine these ghostly Austrian & Italian soldiers just laughing at the fact they both came up with the same idea and executed it *so* flawlessly that they're stuck up there together forever now...
@@zodiachimera7557 I love this image it's simultaneously powerful, lightheaded and shows that wars are extremely destructive.
This music is Heavy Metal GOLD. Every note and every beat is exactly where it should be. The lyrics, perfect. This is the first song I've heard from Sabaton but it definitely won't be the last. And MAAAN! They play the hell out of their instruments.
The line that gets me the most is "I have seen it all, but none will hear my story".. Second line that hits is "I saw the end of war, I watched the soldiers come and go; and I kept my watch forever.."
I'm a history nut, but my area of interest extends from Classical Greece to the fall of the Byzantines, so I'm glad there are bands like Sabaton to educate me on obscure history outside of that area.
SPARTA! HELLAS! THEN, AND AGAIN, SING OF THREE HUNDRED MEN!
How is singlng about ww1 ”obscure” 😂
@@quandangle9397 Nobody said WW1 is obscure. Topics like this are. But I'm sure I didn't need to explain that if you were thinking rationally.
U know what I love about sabaton is that they are so dedicated to their work and they put passion and love to their music amazing band 🤘🤘❤️
100% agree Hef...Sabaton tells a story of a moment in history with their songs while simultaneously honoring the sacrifices made by all during those moments of history...
If you ever have the cha ce see Sabaton live...I saw them at Portland several years ago...small venue, incredible band!
1. Thank you Alex for reacting to this FUCKING GLORIOUS SONG!!!
2. Sabaton gets me soooo damn exited when they release/tease new music because I know we will be getting an amazing song every time. But more importantly I know that song will be based and written around and for a historical event or events. That is why Sabaton will forever and always be my favorite band. It's truly incredible how they take an event in history and turn it not only into a song but also a story at the same time that honors the fallen throughout history, it just blows my mind how well they do this!!!
3. I HIGHLY RECOMEND you react to Steel Commanders, that is one of my favorite Sabaton songs!!!!!
Only discovered Sabaton recently and am loving them. Every song is about war but that seems not to matter. They are consistently listenable. Nightwish with a male singer!
Every song is about war but not in a glorifying way. If anything, the only thing they glorify are the brave souls who sacrificed their lives in wars. They educate and sing about the events in war 'lest we forget' not to celebrate the wars, but to keep alive the memory of the events of those wars. Not who won and who lost.
I honestly believe Sabaton should be played in history classes. Because they provide perhaps the most unbiased view of history out of just about any source I know of.
Please react to more Sabaton, "Price of a mile" or perhaps the song "union", also from sabaton, love these songs
yes please react to price of a mile
Price of a mile always gets me goosebumbs. To me it´s one of the most atmospheric Songs from Sabaton and the sadest but damn I still love it
Union is so good but I also recommend not very well known ones like Light in the Black and In the Name of God
@@kousand9917 Agreed! 👍
@@Eishallenfuchs their saddest song is en livstid i krig.
What a song, and another fantastic reaction! I'd love to see more Sabaton reactions, keep up rhe awesome work!
Sabaton and Falling In Reverse equally gets me most hyped for new releases
This is the best song for me. Love you Sabaton. and thanks for your reaction ❤
First time hearing this band. I'm going to divulge much listening to these gentlemen! I love this.
Sabaton is one of my favorite bands ever and yes I love how they educate all while sounding freaking amazing! Their music is perfect for drawing ppl to learn about history. There's no such thing as too much Sabaton. When I first heard this song I kept this song on repeat for 3 days in a row lol
I won't... be coming home...
I won't be going anywhere.
I will guard this post... forever.
Hey Alex
There's a Brazilian guy that every year end he does a rock medley with the main songs of the year.
And at the end of 2021 he did, and it turned out really good. There are a lot of guitar solos, drums played very well, and he sings very well too.
There are several youtubers around the world reacting to this guy. I would love to see a reaction from your channel.
You can find by name ''2021 em uma música''
Sabaton: Everything else is just music.
These are legends.
This guy's the first reaction where i thought he enjoyed and appreciated the song almost as much as i do.. im gonna like and subscribe..
I love sabaton
First line in and i love the video.
Another line i love: "i always get excited, not in that way"
I basically hear a new sabaton song come and i am just "the gods have provided, it shall not be wasted" and i listen to only that song on repeat over multiple days.
Mr. Video says thank you so much!! He is ready for the collaboration video!
I love Sabaton so much...there is so much power in their music. It's unbelievable unique ❤
I love the 80s rock ballad tone on this one. Reminds me a lot of Last Stand, which was my first song from them.
You are actually responsible for getting me into sabaton this was my first introduction to them so I had to come back a month later to this video and say "thank you!!!!"
Mr video brought me here! The community thanks you for recognizing the NATURAL Star burning inside Leo. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with for a collaboration.
I love sabaton I hope those soldiers are at ease and resting because of this song it’s truly amazing and thank you for bringing this masterpiece
Bro, please check out Oh, Sleeper-"hush Yael"! It's written about a tragic true story and it will blow you away, been asking for over a year and I have proven with two other request that I will not give up! LOL
Oh sleeper, their music is amazing and by the way the song that you asked for is amazing.
Oh, Sleeper are awesome 🔥
I love your reaction!! This song is stuck in my head and I was teaching an 18 year old about it today, I am learning so much from Sabaton!
SABATON.....
My GOD they are good.
The Video is so perfect.
Beautiful words in this song...
so EMOTIONAL 😢
Something we humans
MUST NEVER FORGET.
THESE BRAVE HEROES
have fought for us.
Now there is a GRAVE 🌟
ON A MOUNTAIN 🌟
🗻 ❄️🕊 🏔️🙏
THANK GOD 💫
Love from the Netherlands
❤️ 🤍 💙 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️
Sabaton is SO good! Holy shit, why have I not listened to them more.
Sabaton got me hooked, so i was also really looking foreward to this song release, else for me if Epica, Nightwish, or Ayreon drop a new song, im surely in ...fast... really fast..
And yes Saboton didnt disapoint, great song,
they never do..
I assume you have heard Star One? If not, check out Fate Of Man with Brittney Slayes of Unleash The Archers.
@@senditkevin i heard the album several times yes, Lost children of the universe, and Precient might be my favorites from there, then Fate of man might be next.. cool album to..
@@renejensen7799 I think Fate of Man and Lost Children are my favorites. Gotta listen to it again to think of where I would rank all the others.
@@senditkevin well i just re listened, i must say Lost children of the universe is by far the best track, precient and fate of man are coning right in the tail, rest of the songs on the album, actually is dissapointing me a bit, i dont really dig them to much, still lost children of the universe should have way more listens on spotify, only 191K .. should be millions..
@@renejensen7799 yeah thats fair. I'm thinking once I understand the lyrics to these songs, might make me like them more, that happens with quite a number of songs for me.
Great reaction!🤘 Sabaton and Majestica are probably those bands (for now, at least) that get me most hyped when they release new music. 😉
Absolutely everything about this band is perfect 🤘🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
Sabaton always gets me hyped!
What would GET me hyped would be a release from Pagan's Mind! Been almost 10 years since their last album...
But a reaction to their songs would be awesome Alex🤘🏻😁
I’m always stoked when I see a new 5FDP video because I love their appreciation of vets, military personnel, and our police/fire/emergency service people.
I've watched a few different reaction videos from different folk. Yours is deffo the best of them especially your Sabaton reactions. Fair play dude ,keep up the great vids
Am here from Mr Video.🥰 Didnt know about your channel before but it looks good!!
Sabaton is definitely the band that i get excited for the most with their new music. Im a history nerd and a hardcore metal head so its all i love all im one.
This song should be played at every fallen soldiers funeral so that they remain immortal in our eyes and for their country.
You are a total vibe. I loved watching your reaction!
Alex iv been waiting 5 days for this reaction....thank youuuuu i never actually thought that i would ever say that for a youtuber,but i am proud that i subscribed to this channel.
My dude. I 've been a fan of your videos for a LONG time but your reactions to Sabaton strike me hard as a vet. Please keep doing what you do. Much love.
This is one of their best songs in a long time.
I love that intro. That made me laugh. I haven't been able to stop listening to Soldier of Heaven. That shows how awesome Sabaton's songs are.
Brilliant as always been apart of the Hefner for awhile, saving vice never disappoints they released an absolute banger before Christmas called dying to watch, another band is patient sixty seven they did a mini cover of Maria Carrie's all i want for Christmas and heavy af
Bro this is right up my brother and I’s alley we love history and are vets! I can’t handle not know about metal till now! Thank you for these beautiful videos!
Welcome to the club of Sabaton lovers. This song gives me goosebumps
Mr Video sent me by to say "hi, you're the GOAT". 😁😁😂 I'm a sub already but just saw Leo react to your last video and you have made my man smile! GOAT Alex!
Per talked about how he wanted to tell the story of the forgotten front and he did it well. This band has gotten me into parts of history I didn't even know and I am a historian by trade.
Great job Alex. Your reaction gave me chills!
This song and video! Awesome! Alex, thanks for the videos
Of course its music of Sabaton that im looking forward to hear! Also because i am from Sweden 🇸🇪
The band that gets me the most excited with new music is Imminence, they somewhat recently released an album(Heaven In Hiding) and it's hecking awesome.
Dam! It's been a long time since I have such crazy goosebumps when I've listen to a new song.. wow❣️ Thanks for your reaction to this great song!
I have to admit that I was late to the Sabaton party, but The Great War album brought me to the party to stay. Phenomenal writing, which brings phenomenal storytelling, and a great presentation/delivery.
First time i have heard this one.. amazing, again, i am so not surprised anymore. This band is amazing!
Alex in the intro looked like he was recently awaken from bed 😆. I'm glad to watch you not only a metalhead but also a history nerd, only Sabaton can do this 🤘.
This is why I love listening to you. I get introduced to music I otherwise would not have heard. Never heard of them but now they are on my playlist. Thanks
Welcome to the Sabaton rabbit hole! Grab a drink and get comfortable it's gonna be a long and awesome ride!!
I found Sabaton this year… blown away I didn’t know who they were. Love them.
I would love to see Alexs' reaction to "The Price of a Mile".. AFTER watching the history of it.
at first im not into this song but after digging deeper about the history, i cant stop blasting this song
Today I learned about White Friday from Sabaton & Alex. I never would have known about it otherwise. Keep up the good work brother.
i have 3 Pentatonix, Shinedown, Ice Nine Kills when they post new music I go nuts. I just started listening to Sabaton back around Christmas and may have to make them my 4th favorite group
I get excited anytime Sabaton releases anything new. recently I’ve been getting into another Swedish metal band that’s kinda new, they’re called Brothers of Metal🤘🏻
The MV showing WW2-era fighter planes shows that those soldiers are still there standing guard after all those years. I wouldn't even be surprised if they also showed modern fighter jets.
Sabaton are our modern-day bards.
Got out of work today to find out Sabaton has been added to a festival in Portugal! I'm super excited!!!!! Never seen them live ...
This is why Sabaton is one of my favorite bands ever , is not just music they teach you they educate you they give you a lesson about history📕📖📚📜📄🗞
I'm really amazed that it feels like they don't release a bad song....
Alex, you need to go back and react to 'The Dark Side of The Moon'. This album definitely deserves to be heard in one sitting, all the songs blend into one another. Experience it all at once, it hits different.
True tragic story of White Friday in the alps on blood mountain .
"I'll guard this post forever"😪😪😪
Love Sabaton and the song🤟❤🇳🇴
Subscribed😀
for sure sabaton is my favorite band, and i get hype whenever they release new music
Wonderful selection (as per usual). I recommend giving Crown the Empire a listen (preferably Zero, Machines, The Phoenix Reborn, or Maniacal Me). Keep up the good work. :)
my grandfather's brother died on a snowy hill. in the korean war and this song reminds me of all the stories my grandfather told about him. now the two are together, I miss you grandpa
Alex! Check out Sabatons 'No Bullets Fly' for a story of honour and compassion in WW2.
German pilot Franz Stigler escorted Charlie Brown's B-17 out of harms way, those he could have shot down. But he saw the bomber was disabled and chose to spare them.
I love that they usually add a video about the history of the event to accompany the song's release.
I love this jam. I came across it legit right after finishing the film day after tomorrow and got those vibes from the vid lol Sabaton continue to blow minds. \m/\m/
This is one of the bands that I really want to see live if they come over here in Canada 🇨🇦
Sabaton gets me most exited with new music. Love sabaton. I got into sabaton since my dad loves them and listend to them in his car alot. And both sabaton and me are swedish
Yes.. hard for me too. On another note, I'm a new subscriber because of your awesome review of Mr. Video! He loves music so much, but just couldn't seem to break through the copyright crap and he is right, it is disheartening when you feel stuck. I watch his movie reactions as well and subscriber to his music channel. So happy you shouted him out.. thanks man.
Thank you Alex, great reaction overall :)
Loads of Italian and Austrian soldiers from WW1 are still up there mummified (this soldier looks like an Austrian). Also white Friday was actually both sides deliberately firing shells into the snow to cause avalanches. RIP to the soldiers of both sides. Real men.
Truly great band,on my bucket list for 2023
White Friday occurred during the Italian Front of World War I, when an avalanche struck Austro-Hungarian barracks on Mount Marmolada, killing 270 soldiers.
I just found out about this band. OMG! WOW! The Last Stand! Brought tears to my eyes.
Sabaton has hit me in the feels with the last 2 songs.
I lived in Italy for several years as a teenager. My dad was active duty Air Force, and we were stationed at Aviano. As a Boysscout, I went on a lot of hikes in the dolomites. I couldn't imagine climbing those mountains with a weapon and ammo. I barely made some of those hikes with my shitty gear. The men who passed there, and are still buried under those mountains are heroes, regardless of what country they fought for. Just my two cents.
Shinedown hands down! Looking forward for their new release! 🤘
Band that gets me most excited for new releases is definitely Within Temptation. Always bring something interesting to the table!
Also, this song is epic. Never knew about White Friday!
Here are some songs i would love for you to react to:
Saxon - Bloodletter
Saxon - Unleash the Beast
Diamond Head - It's electric
Angel Witch - Sorcerers
I also love the song and the band!! I'm always excited when i hear they release new songs!! But i'm also excited about the new releases from powerwolf, ordan ogan and battle beast 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Alex my man you are awesome !
