    For a truly epic live performance: "En Livstid I Krig" (A lifetime of war) - The Great Tour - Gothenburg. The song is about the futility of war as seen thru the eyes of a Swedish youth conscripted into the thirty years war. Turn on captions as the song is performed in Swedish, but don't let that fact put you off, prepare to be amazed gentlemen...

      ​@@TheThamesmen please do not use the official video then since the captions are shit and probably made by a middle schooler as a school project. Since the translations are all whack and totally ruins the feel for the strong message in the song.
      Heres an updated video. with better captions and some backstory.

      @@TheThamesmen A translation to En livstid i krig (A lifetime of war)
      "I look Back and see my home fade away
      My time at home feels now far too short
      Barely a youth not yet a man, when duty called me
      If I get to see my home again, I do not know
      Among kinsmen from my village, I went out in battle
      And the world burned
      For the war it can annihilate a man
      I give my life for my homeland
      But who will miss me?
      So see me as the one (who is) A -husband, a friend
      A -Father and son (who) never returns home
      But who will mourn me?
      Went to war for Sweden, was baptized in blood
      Out there, death awaits, not heroism
      In fields where kinsmen fall no song is heard
      Challenging our fates, yet again
      Far from home Baptized and die in battle
      And the world burned
      For the war it can annihilate a man
      I give my life for my homeland

    Sabaton's music is incredible. Their choices tend to be about heroic actions which occurred in war. Must see songs are 40-1 live at Woodstock (audience of 500,000+), Night Witches (The music video will make you tear up) and 82nd All the Way (the story of Alvin York). They have so many great stories. I could go on and on.

    For live videos of Sabaton, there are two songs one has to do:
    "Ghost Divison"
    "40:1"
    both from Woodstock (Poland) with an insane crowd and sich an energy.
    Another great experience of what a live sow by them can be:
    "En Livstid I Krig" (A lifetime of war) from Gothenburg - The Great Tour
    Downtempo but maximum crowd interaction which will give you goosebumps all over the body.
    Another "live"-banger:
    "Great War"
    --> The official video has footage from their "Great Tour" --> It shows beside backstage footage also the insame amount of pyro they use
    --> Live from Oberhausen is worth watching as well
    Another must see, but not live:
    "No Bullets Fly" Animated Story Video
    --> The song has a heartbreaking story and in this you'll get to know the story: As video and also with the real persons / soldiers of that story: Be prepared to get goosebumps and maybe even tear up

    Yes, Woodstock festival Poland 2012 is an amzing show, altho I'd say check "Uprising" and "40:1" first, songs about Polish soldiers in front of half a million Polish people.
    At Wacken 2019 they used both stages part of the show, they brought old members back (and more) for their 20th anniversary. If you check something from Wacken, I think "Swedish Pagans" and "Price of a mile" are 2 good choices.
    Be careful with the Wacken videos tho, it seems they're been blocked quite frequently.
    ... and No this video was not clips from a movie, they did a collaboration with Wargaming, the gaming company behind World of Warships.

    Oh, and they are another band that do brilliant thought provoking videos, but are even better live. A few years ago they were running out of inspiration, so they asked their fans for interesting stories to write about, and the fans came through for them. My personal favourite is "Attack of the Dead Men". A very Interesting story, and a wonderful song.

    I really like Sabaton. I've been listening to them for a couple of years now and I actually got to know them through my oldest son. We were on a short holiday in Normandy, visiting the historic D-Day locations, when he mentioned them. He knew of a couple of songs about the sights we were visiting. We listened to them in the car and I've continued to listen ever since that time. And their drummer being married to the singer of my favourite band helps attracting my attention too. 😉

    Hi there! Recently found your channel and basically watching non stop for the past couple of days your journey through Nightwish, Ayreon and Epica and now onto Sabaton! Absolutely enjoying the channel and finding the British humour hilarious , nice that it's still fully in tact after years of being across the pond! 😉 Anyway, my only suggestion is , when viewing a Sabaton song, as they are trying to teach History through heavy metal, always put the captions on to read the lyrics as you go since it's story based, to learn the history of the song, it's very important to hear the lyrics. (Actually I would say this about Nightwish songs also, turn those captions on! ) but Sabaton I feel to truly appreciate the intent behind the song, its paramount. I love the song To Hell and Back but Nightwitches animated story is a great place to go from here!

    I don't see it posted in the comments yet, but the video itself was produced in conjunction with the game "World of Warships", and was intended to showcase both the band and the game. I'm not sure, but I believe the wide shots of the ships and the fighting is actual game footage, with the live actors only being used on sets for closeups. I could be wrong, I've never played the game, but I do know the wides are CGI.

    The video was made by Wargaming so all the scenes was created by the company as a promo for the World of Warships game.
    Sabaton is a Swedish band that writes and sings about Actual historic events, battles, moments of heroism and wars.
    They will be releasing their 10th studio album on March 4th 2022.
    Nice thing about them is that their video's never blocked so it's UA-cam safe. (except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken)
    If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these:
    (These are all from the Sabaton Channel, and they never block videos so it's safe to use)

    battleships got their name from the age of sails where the ships would fight in a line of battle. the ships in these battles were known as ships of the line. in truth a battleship would be more aptly known as "line of battle ship", however we shortened it to battleship to make it easier.
    and personally i like Sabaton's song "attack of the dead men" it is fitting for the time near halloween as well as being one of the most terrifying events of WW1

As already mentioned in the comments....their History Channel imho is phenomenal! I learned so much more about the wars and battles then I already knew. The captain of that fishing boat is, I believe, the descendent of the rescued man. And if you should have knowledge of a forgotten battles or a persons who played a role in them...you can send Sabaton an e-mail and if you're lucky they make a song about it. They recieve thousands of requests each year. I think it is fantastic what they do...remembering all who died in those wars and give them their much deserved honour!

You should check out their history channel where they tell the story of their songs. Well worth a look. Next up I'd recommend 'No Bullets Fly' ua-cam.com/video/dslO-3GgenY/v-deo.html for a video and live?

    The video was produced by the company Wargaming which produces the game World of Warships. The Bismarck was the largest battleship in the world at that time of WW2 and had a crew of 2200 sailors from which only 113 could be rescued when the ship sunk. There is a very nice video series on the channel Extra History titled Hunting the Bismarck if you are interested in the whole story. Also Sabaton has their own channel where they talk about every song and the military events they sing about: Sabaton History ua-cam.com/users/SabatonHistory .
    Other great Sabaton videos are "No bullets fly" (Animated STORY video) ua-cam.com/video/dslO-3GgenY/v-deo.html and "Night Witches" (Animated STORY Video) ua-cam.com/video/5YPo8zDkvy4/v-deo.html or "Red Baron" (official lyric video) ua-cam.com/video/1snEYPg8TXs/v-deo.html . There are a lot more of course and these are just the first that came to my mind. For "No Bullets fly" and "Night Witches" please make sure that you select the STORY videos. YarnHub did a great job with these animations and the storytelling that always brings my to tears, no matter how often I watch them.
    For Sabaton live I would suggest "40:1" (live at Woodstock festival 2012) ua-cam.com/video/Ty-4jk93FrE/v-deo.html , Ghost Division" (official live video) ua-cam.com/video/9FkYxnm70vg/v-deo.html or "Swedish Pagans" (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019) ua-cam.com/video/NWnuSZ5pwNA/v-deo.html.

    The rudder was essentially the only weak point of the Bismarck.
    German command ignored the warnings of the engineers and didn’t do anything to strengthen the rudder..
    So, of course the torpedo correctly shown in the music video damaged the rudder which meant the ship couldn’t be steered anymore
    It just went in big circles making it an easy target for the enemy ships that eventually sank it…
    The scenes with the ships are not from movies but simply for this music video..
    The story with the compass is also true..
