Charles XII of Sweden is the king to which this song refers. This particular album goes back to the greatest expansion of the Swedish Empire and how it subsequently turned out. For instance, another song from this album "1648" refers to the siege of Prague by the Swedish army. Joakim Brodén, the lead vocalist, is half-Czech, which might partly explain where that particular part of inspiration came from.
Charles is more like an english version of the name becouse in Sweden he is known as "Karl XII"
What i find cool about 1648 is that in Swedish its apparently sung from the perspective of a Swedish soldier,while in English its from the Czech defenders perspective,not sure if its true,i saw multiple Swedes say it is,but i dont speak Swedish so... :D
@Ry Mo If only you were more educated and stopped talking about something you clearly don't understand
Charles XII, sometimes Carl (Swedish: Karl XII) or Latinized to Carolus Rex (17 June 1682 - 30 November 1718 O.S.), was the King of Sweden from 1697 to 1718. He belonged to the House of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, a branch line of the House of Wittelsbach.
@RandomOrForgotten You sound like you don't know the horrors of the times that are covered on the Carolus Rex album. For example, Germany lost 40% of its population in the Thirty Years' War. While there are problems in today's Europe it's laughable to compare to what happened back in those days.
“Night Witches” if you wanna get your socks knocked off
And ghost division
Actually, i'm pretty sure Russians would argue that Panzerkampf was better.
Don't forget Hearts of Iron. Or Bismarck!
if they're American let them listen to "Panzer Battalion"
Eric anawtin love me some Night Witches.
Reason the old two Drummers and the guitarrist member left the band is because they didnt wanna tour as much as they do. Guess they wanted more family time.
Robban had to leave. He wanted to stay but it's a little hard to be on tour all the time with a kid to take care of.
@@tntfreddan3138 or just take the kid on tour like Floor and Hannes did :)
Gustavus Adolphus Right 👍
Exactly so it is.
Along with Joakim being promoted to singer from pianist, since the group decided they no longer wanted to do entirely orchestral/instramental type music
Carolus is latin for Charles in english or Karl in Swedish. Rex is king in latin. The song is about Karl XII of Sweden who became king at a very young age. Emidiately Russia, Denmark and Poland declared war on Sweden beliving the kingdom would fall easily with its young ruler. It didn’t.
Carolus Rex means King Charles in english. Rex = King in latin.
(They have to be americans or really dense)
@@m0rtez713
OH God forbid that people an ocean away halfway across the world don't know anything about Latin or a Swedish King! Fucking idiot.
Rekt
Carolus is the latinisation of Karl/Charles, so it's all Latin.
@@beurteilung713 You seem to be dense, i said they are americans so they do not know (for american reasons) or dense europeians. Also the fact they don't know is sad, because events of the thirty-year war directly influenced creation of their own country.
Dad definitely liked it a lot judging by those unconscious smiles. It spoke to his inner conqueror.
Guys, all Sabaton's songs are majestic and catchy, but for the next one I'd suggest ''Resist and Bite'', since I haven't seen a that many reactions on that one so far. Cheers!
kingpinXXX100 resist and bite is one of my favorites, one of their best
Sabaton released a new musicvideo here one hour ago. It's called Bismarck.
the Sweedish version is even better! his voice is even better in his native language.
For future Sabaton videos try 40-1 or Aces in Exiles
All their songs are based on historic battles, its both unique and epic! \m/
keep up the good reactions :)
Yes! Original swedish "Carlous Rex" is much beeter than English version.
@@redriges007 Yes but will they understand the lyrics then
@@fredrikeriksson5975 Probably not. But if somebody really gonna listen this album for long time, i recommend him swedish version of those songs. And if somebody wants understand the meaning of song, he should just find a text translation.
NY TID NALKAS
@@majimagoro9981 denna tid går mot sitt slut.
Dude, Wing Hussars, last stand, Rorke's Drift, keep listening. So many epic Sabaton songs.!
Don't forget Swedish pagans. :P
Funny I showed my dad Sabaton and he loves it! He's still more of a fan of the old American music of big hair bands of the 1980's, but he's coming around. Lol!
Sabaton is awesome. Power metal at its finest. I'd highly suggest their songs "Night Witches", "The Last Stand", and "A Lifetime of War". All of Sabaton's songs are about history in some way or another. It's like learning a history lesson while jamming to awesome music! :D
Please check out more Amaranthe too! It's been a long time since you have. I suggest the songs "Boomerang", "Invincible", "Dream", and "Countdown". Thanks! :)
Not all. A few of their earlier albums the last track isn't about history, and I think it's Heroes that has a cover of Camouflage, which isn't strictly historical. I'm pretty sure it's more than 95% historical, though.
Heavy Metal!
@@nathanbrown8680 Depends on how you look at it, as its tied to the Vietnam War
@@Alex-if1hc Only in a general sense. I don't believe it relates to a specific real person or incident. *Most of Sabaton's other songs do.*
Hi react to Sabaton Bismark ( new song released this April 2019)
Unkyp dont forget fields of verdun
Both simply fantastic songs but Bismark is Sabatons top of the line song with the best guitar rifs i ever heard.
They also have songs about America as well. Like the song "Midway" about the WW2 battle. As well as "To hell and back" about Auddie Murphy.
I'm a big fan of 82nd all the way.
the lost battalion as well
They have alot of great songs
Night witches
The last stand
Ghost division
And many more 🤘
Primo Victoria...
(Covered by a German a-capella Band, ft. Joakim himself:
ua-cam.com/video/agWwSsCP6KI/v-deo.html
All they have are great songs
@@zeitscar1486 specially with the new album
Can't go wrong with Ghost Division.
Hearts of Iron, Wehrmacht, Screaming Eagles, Price of a Mile, Final Solution, Talvasota, and of course Panzerkampf are some of my favorites that I can name off the top of my head.
The singers dialect is called Dalmål from the landscape called Dalarna (The Valleys) in Sweden.
Inmate 4859, aces in exile, panzerkampf, winged hussars, ghost division, or hearts of iron
Oh my, Inmate...that could go as a shocker...
Good pick ;)
And yes, Sabaton's themes deals with all kinds of historical events/figures from various centuries. And it fits with power metal's "epic" themes aspect.
But if we're talking about historical themes, I'll throw a suggestion for "1914", a great death metal band who deals solely with WW1. "The Blind Leading the Blind " was one of the best albums of 2018... So why not, 1914 - "the hundred days offensive"
@alexf5yy Cheers mate! Yes, the entire album is great. Honestly, it's their best to date in my opinion. Although my top 2018 albums will remain Sulphur Aeon - The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos
.
One cannot go wrong with Sabaton if they enjoy Metal and History.
My personal favorites are Soldier of 3 Armies, Risist and Bite, 40 to 1, and Last Stand. Especially live.
You have not truly lived until you see Sabaton live.
Thanks for the shout out!!! I loved the reaction! Hope you can add a new awesome band! Cheers from Costa Rica 🤘👍
Dad knows what's the good sht! Was visible he enjoyed it, good reaction.
Nice! Another great song, and video, is the live version of "Ghost Division" from Woodstock. Cheers!
How wholesome, father and daughter bonding time : )
@Ry Mo why not?...🤓
You should listen to "To hell and back", or "Pazerkampf" by Sabaton.
"unbreakable" , "killing groung" , "Carolean's prayer" , "The price of a mile" , "Angels calling" , "Cliffs of Gallipoli" , and of course some the greatest memes "The last stand" , "Winged Hussars"
These are the 2 first songs I ever heard from sabaton and u was instantly hooked
Sabaton kicks ass. History lessons presented in the most beautiful and entertaining way. =)
Good reaction, Cheers from Sweden!
Bombape I agree.
Greetings from a long-standing Sabaton fan from Sweden.
Sabaton was my introduction to metal, and I still love them 10 years later....
Carolus Rex was Carl XII., king of Sweden in early 18th century - he rose to his throne in 15 years of age, and was attacked by coalition of neighbouring states, because he was seen and too young and weak. And he beat their a*ses all the way to Russia...before eventually losing due to attrition and lost morale of his armies...
Suggestions for other songs: They've done a lot of like....classic power metal songs - Night Witches, Ghost Division, Resist and Bite...as well as some, let's say, interesting mixes of genres - Ballad of the Bull, To Hell and Back, Caroleans Prayer maybe...
You could also do live performances - Swedish(obviously), Polish, German and Czech crowds are wild....especially when songs are about their nations(Uprising, 40:1 for Poland; Far Away from Fame for Czechia...)
Videos from polish Woodstock festival would be nice, or maybe czech Masters of Rock - they actually have orchestra with them for last few performances, and it sounds epic.
Karl (Charles) XII of Sweden (born June 17, 1682) fell in battle on November 30, 1718 in Fredrikshald, Norway. He became king in 1697, he was then 14 years old. His leadership and tactical skills contributed to the Swedish forces' initial triumphs during the war, and in 1706 he had defeated almost all participants, Denmark-Norway, Saxony-Poland except Russia. On 28/6 1709, the battle in Poltava was fought against Peter I of Russia. Thus, the 100-year-old superpowership power stepped into the grave.
father and daughter?Love it!!Go, Kay and Jay!
Pär was the initial founder of the band. Joakim came in some time later when they were looking for a keyboardist. Then he got to singing and it sounded better than what the others could provide with. Hannes was the drum tech for Snowy Shaw so he worked with Sabaton since around 2013-14. He applied for the job as the drummer hen they were looking for a new one and he got it. Thorbjörn Englund joined the band in 2012 along with Chris Rörland and Robban Bäck but left the band in 2017 to write music of his own and. Robban left in 2013 but got hastily replaced with Snowy Shaw, a former member of Dream Evil. The bands current lineup is Joakim Brodén: vocals and keyboard, Pär Sundström: bass, Hannes Van Dahl: drums, Tommy Johansson and Chris Rörland: guitar.
The first band members left in 2012 because they didn't want to tour as much as they did. Thobbe left in 2017 because he wanted to make his own music. Robban left in 2013-14 because he wanted to take some time off to be with his family and new born daughter. Snowy Shaw left because he was only a temporary drummer for the band.
The Caroleans prayer is another great song from this album
I really Iike this song too. I like how the chorus sings in between the lead singer. Really good!!!
another one for your See Live bucket list guys ...you wont be disappointed,i guarantee it!!
Glad you liked them!! Hope you will be reacting to them soon again. They get more and more popular for every year! Try "Bismarck" I think you will like it! Impressive musicvideo too!!!
what a perfect time to discover Sabaton! Their new album is dropping July 19th and their latest video dropped 40 minutes ago (check their channel)
I don't think it was a coincidence that they dropped a reaction video just before the music video went up.
You should definitely react to their newest song, Bismarck.
Nice, reacted to my fave band! If you guys ever get the chance, see them live. It's an experience!
Most Sabaton songs are great. I highly recommend attending one of their shows if you have the opportunity. They're awesome!
Animated video to Night witches and to No bullets fly. Those two are epic.
It is the style of war sounds, the thunder of war smashed in the riffs and the voice of him
The greatest powerband bar none.
First time seeing Sabaton was with Nightwish. They are very engaging live and put on a great show. Interesting bit of trivia is that the drummer Hannes Van Dahl is in a relationship with Floor Jansen (possibly married) and have a child together.
Wow, I like both bands and didn´t know that they are together. And yes, they are married, according to english Wikipedia. Though I can´t read anything about that on the german wikipedia (only that they are "together"). But they have a daughter together.
If you love history, than Sabaton is the band to listen to! "To Hell and Back" is another great track and about the great Audie Murphy...should check it out.
I like that you listen to Carolus Rex and at the same time have Coat of Arms as the background
Nightwish didn't switch singers for sound reasons. Their first singer Tarja stopped caring about the music in Nightwish and grew distant from the rest of the band, she wanted to do more bigger venues and thought Nightwish was holding her back. She chose to leave the band after doing one final farewell concert and picked going solo. Not to mention toumas had a secret crush on her, after she married someone else things just went South and got awkward. One of their songs "ever dream" was based off toumas's feelings for bandmate Tarja.
With Anette it just didn't work out because of her personality off stage. She didn't get along with a certain said member of the band, it got to a point where enough was enough and so the band took a vote and dumped her.
The reason for the sound differences was because Nightwish founder toumas wanted to go to a different direction after Tarja. Then after Anette he wanted to find someone who can do just about anything, both Tarjas style and Anette. Floor was the perfect replacement.
The band knew floor from when she was lead vocals in her old band after forever, they used to tour with her and knew she would be a perfect fit.
Since you watch Piscators video go in that videos description there it says it to you
Sabaton? Nice..:-) Great song choice too...:-D
We Will help you. Knee to knee. Dont think no swede alive dont have karolinerblod in there veins. Lovely song ❤
Nightwish their first lead singer was also a opera sing that way she left
Love Sabaton. Great first pick 😎 Sabaton is the BOMB!
Read The book about Carolus by Voltaire. Maybe not fully historicly correct, but still a good story about the King.
First time listening to Sabaton? Oh you guys are missing out. If you want recommendations, check out pretty much anything off of the 'Art of War' album. 'Coat of Arms' has some true gems as well.
All their songs are about history 🙏💪
Definitely check out their other stuff. Bismark, Sparta, and Blood of Bannockburn come highly recommended. Definitely read up on the history of their songs, as they are all based on bits of history (Check out the Sabaton History channel on UA-cam)
Sabaton.....not just entertaining but educational as well!
I absolutely love sabaton! Check out En livstid I krig or A lifetime of war. They're both about the 30 years war, the Swedish version being from the view of a soldier, and the English version being about the grand scale of the war itself. Night witches, a lifetime of war, and aces in exile are my absolute favorites!
My favorites are The lost batallion, The Last Stand, Shiroyama, A Lifetime of War, the Final Solution, Sparta, Swedish Pagans, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Blood of Bannockburn... who am I kidding, all of their music is amazing.
I will as always recommend the swedish versions with english lyrics. Swedish version sounds so much more powerful/passionate.
And as you can see with the lyrics its also alot more meaningful
Guys, as per Nightwish Sabaton is best served live. Please try some of their songs from The Great Tour.
One of the first power metal bands and considered part of the 1970s genre of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal is Saxon, y'all should try their song Princess Of The Night, it's a classic. My dad got me into them, Iron Maiden, Motorhead etc. of TNWOBHM in the early 80s.
new sub! really enjoyed both of your reactions to this amazing song + band. hoping to maybe see some more sabaton in the future too! i'd like to recommend another foreign band you might like called Rammstein; not sure if you've reacted to any of their songs before but i'd love to see what you think of their latest song "Deutschland" :)
What amazes me about our (I'm Swedish) history is how such a small nation with a very small population was able to do what we did, especially during this time. Gå på! ;) Anyway, it's also interesting to note that the beginning of the end was against Russia... Look at history and tell me how many that have tried to enter Russia from the west that have NOT been routed?
Well "Rex" means "king" in latin and you should hear "Long live the king" it's about the same dude
Sabaton only changed their members a couple of times, Think its 3 or so that been changed during 20 years. 2 left in 00´s when band wanted to go full out touring 200+ days a year! About Nightwish its been the singers, 3 since they started in 90´s with Tarja as the bands front singer when they where formed!
Hello from Norway. You should really look at Sabaton's "Long live the King", that is a ending to Carolus Rex. Beautiful song!
It´s about tve Swedish king Karl XII who lived 17 June 1682-30 november 1718. Carolus Rex menans the great Karolin of his name Karl.
Ruled. Not lived. In 1697 he was 15 years old.
React to Bismarck!
Also, great video
Do Caroleans Prayer next, it's about the Swedish army at the time known as the "Caroleans" after Carolus Rex.
Nice video!
new single will be up in 2weeks from the new album great war u need to check this one out for sure :) but sabaton is all about history btw
Of all the songs to start of with Sabaton, you went with Carolus Rex? Interesting choice. Might wanna try Night Witches, Winged Hussars, Primo Victoria, Uprising or Ghost Division
I love your chemistry.
dont know if its said already but nightwish has had 3 singers so far, Tarja quit cause of well not getting along with the band anymore, then Annika from sweden joined for 1 record but got a thoat problems witch ment she coulndt keep singing, and thats when they called floor jansen from holland. She had to learn the whole repetoar in 48 hours and did it, there is a documentary about it on youtube, go to nightwish channel and its there =) Love from Sweden Btw =)
I'd love to see your reaction to "Bismarck" by Sabaton. It's their new single. 🤘😁🤘
I think Jay has a man crush on Joakim Broden! Carolus Rex-- King Charles the 12th of Sweden-- He ruled in the late 1600's to the early 1700's.
You HAVE to react to: The Shift - Eye of the Enemy. Australian metal (I know what you are thinking, but this is probably the best song you have heard).
Cheers,
William
Great video!! please react to Long live the king by sabaton which is when our dear king charles past away While inspecting trenches, he got struck in the head by a projectile and died. Some say it was friendly fire but who know its a great song though.
More Sabaton!
sabaton history covers all their songs history
REX is latin for king, and many kings/rulers in Europe uses that as a signature. Even if they don`t have any actual power anymore!
Funny you mentioned Nightwish...The drummer in Sabaton is married to Flor from Nightwish.
"Rex" just means king in latin, as in "Tyrannosaurus rex".
He was a King in Sweden a long time ago
More Sabaton plz
they had 1 big change where 3 left, and then Tobbe left ...I think thats it. But they tour constantly, and it is not for all in the long run
Video Title: Carolus Rex
Everything else: Coat of Arms
You should listen to #mustasch "Yaras song" It's named after a 7 year old palestinian girl who was sent to live with her uncle and his wife in sweden after her school in gaza was bombed. 15 months later she was dead, beaten to death by the uncles wife. They found 255 different injuries, old and new, on her tiny body.
hopefully your daughter will see this and react in the same way!
I have always wondered how hard it is to just press ctrl + t open new tab google Carolus Rex click wikipedia. Takes 0.5 secs
Gamms Ray - Lust for life
More Power Metal Please
More Sabaton Pls !!
You guys have to do Bismarck 👌🙌
MORE MORE SABATON NOW!!!!
The song is about Carolus Rex, King Charles XII of Sweden, one of three people insane enough to try to invade Russia. Did not work out. Thanks to his failed wars Sweden fell from the height of its power. He was ultimately killed in battle when trying to invade Norway.
This song is somewhat of an outlier in Sabatons catalog. It is slower, churning. Most of their songs are faster. I recommend listening to "Night Witches".
Love that song, Night Witches, about Russian female night fighters or bombers
Patrik Nydensten , he fought the war better than any other man would have. Without his insanity Sweden would have fallen to foreign rule.
... what? Charles didn't just invade, he was teamed up on Russia, Denmark and the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. He didn't start the wars.
you have to do the new sabaton's song bismark
Sabaton write songs about war from the soldiers perspective without taking sides and as such can honor heroism and sacrifice from even the darkest moments in human history as a Brit I find Bismarck moving because while the Nazi regime was a cancer and as a nation we felt anger at the sinking of HMS Hood we always respected the courage of those 2000 men who defied the most powerful navy the world had ever seen and fought too the bitter end.
As an American I think you would enjoy the lost battalion from the last stand album
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together
...
All of their songs and lyrics are related to historical battles, such as wars and the heroes of those wars. Sabaton is Antonios favorite band, from A-P Reacts. They've reacted to pretty much every song and video and thats how I became a fan. BTW, there is a swedish version of this song. Also, a newer band, Follow the Cipher, did a cover of this song and it's pretty good. They are a female fronted band also from Sweden, please check them out, and next please check out Night Witches from Sabaton! I think that is their best song imo! It's more faster and upbeat!
Check out their new song “Bismarck”.
Here’s what you wanted to know about Nightwish.
Turunen’s Dismissal
The four other members of Nightwish had decided that it was best to continue Nightwish without Turunen. After a concert in the Hartwall Areena (Helsinki) on October 21, 2005, recorded for the live DVD End of an Era (released June 2006), they expressed their decision through an open letter which was given to Turunen by Holopainen, and afterwards posted on the band's website. It was written by Holopainen and signed by all four band members. The main justification given in the letter for Turunen's dismissal was that the band felt that both her husband Marcelo Cabuli (an Argentine businessman) and commercial interests had changed her attitude towards the band.
Turunen responded to the incident twice, during press conferences in Finland and Germany, saying that her dismissal came entirely as a shock to her, given that she had not been notified before the letter was given to her She felt that the personal attacks on her husband were unwarranted, and that playing the issue out in public was "senselessly cruel". She expressed these feelings through her own open letter, which was published on her personal website, and through various TV, magazine, and newspaper interviews.
Annette Olson’s Departure
On October 1, 2012, Nightwish announced via their Facebook page that they were parting ways with Olzon. According to the press statement, "it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover". This announcement came days after Olzon fell ill at a show in Denver, Colorado and was unable to perform. Nightwish used replacement singers from the opening band, Kamelot, and Olzon later expressed her disappointment, saying "I was never asked if it was OK that they used Elize and Alissa in the show [Friday] night [...] I don't think it's a good decision they made and I'm sorry for those of you who came to see the whole band but got something else. But I was very ill and this decision wasn't mine." According to the statement, Dutch singer Floor Jansen (ex-After Forever, ReVamp) would sing for the remainder of the Imaginaerum World Tour.
On January 11, 2013, Olzon announced on her official blog that she was pregnant with her third child, due in spring 2013. This was a contributing factor to her being dismissed. The band then released a statement on their website declaring that the reason Olzon gave for her dismissal and other statements she made were untrue and that Olzon herself had agreed to help find a replacement while she was on maternity leave. Later on, Olzon gave several interviews in which she told that she never agreed with a replacement, even when she was pregnant, and proposed to the band to postpone the tour, culminating on her firing. She also added that she was against Jansen joining the band in her period of maternity, mainly because of the difference in their vocal styles.
In a 2015 interview, Holopainen said the band "emerged stronger" from the line-up changes it went through.
Arrival of Floor Jansen
In an interview with Metal Hammer in November 2012, Tuomas Holopainen stated that they already had a rehearsal place booked from July 2014 to September 2014, but before they began rehearsing the band members would be taking a break from Nightwish for several months.
Floor Jansen (left) and Troy Donockley (right) were made official members in 2013, turning the band into a sextet for the first time.
On October 9, 2013, Nightwish announced Jansen as the permanent replacement for Olzon.
Carolus Rex is the latin name of king karl XII of sweden. This song is about him. He was a king of war.
