Joakim is more than a singer. Its taken me a long time to figure out how to express it, and I'm sure I'm not the first. He's a story teller, like folk singers of a generation ago, or bards of old. Its more than just being able to compose a lyric and sing the words, and make the lyric be in service to the song. No, he makes the song serve the words he is saying. Closer to an accompanied poet, but still makes the meaning cut through without breaking the song. Sure there is the accent, the language, but even still, his is a voice that commands attention, and he doesn't need to show off to do it.
It's a common misconception that he's wearing armor. He isn't. It's actually a part of his biology. It's his normal body, and a common trait among tanksexuals.
Sabaton and Apocalyptica are by far my favourite bands, and Joakim is in my opinion one of the best singers in metal. So hearing Apocalypticas amazing playing with Joakims great voice is hard to beat!
I love new version Sabaton angels Calling with Apocalyptica ( I hear it on your concert in Prague and It was awesome) and this song is great too, I hope both bands will continue in this cooperation. 🖤🤘
This is such a well written song, truly captures the sense of feeling betrayed almost by the general population, betrayed by leaders, etc the performance was awesome too, the vocals were world class and musically very complex yet rhythmically simple. 100/10
This song has helped me realize something: that we *need* and want an Apocalyptica album with Daddykim on vocals for the whole thing. And we want it NAO!
@@yasming3979 we've been calling him this for a while now. some of the members of the group made huge posters with the screenshot of the original post ("I wanna sleep with daddykim broden, though") and brought them to some of the shows in Europe. Allegedly daddykim saw them and had a laugh 😂 Daddykim Broden, Tommy Johandsome, Chris Rawrland and Hawtness Van Dahl - Pärfect! 😂
I like it. At first it was strange to hear Joakim singing such a 'non-Sabatonous' melody, but I really gotta like it while the song ended. Exotic. Bravo! 👏
As a fan of both Apocalyptica and Sabaton, I agree. Typically I prefer Apocalyptica fully instrumental, but this is definitively one of the vocalized exceptions.
Our soul shivers in the cold and the darkness Our bodies crumble from the weight laid upon us We're just the prey on the hunting grounds There's nothing we can do than to fight it Cause no man will ever stand to survive it Ashes, ashes, we all fall down But if we wanted the truth we wouldn't buy their lies And follow the fools and their battle cries For nothing we lose, and does it matter, matter if we live or die? Matter if we live or die If we live or die We're out of reach from each other in the shadows We lost count of the numbers in the death toll These are faked and distorted times Cryin' out for desperate measures For a vengeance that will carry on forever But the king will never pay for its price So if we wanted the truth we wouldn't buy their lies And follow the fools and their battle cries For nothing we lose, and does it matter, matter if we live or die? Matter if we live or die Our soul shivers in the cold and the darkness Our bodies crumble from the weight laid upon us Nothing we can ever do than to fight it No man will ever stand to survive it But if we wanted the truth we wouldn't buy their lies And follow the fools and their battle cries For nothing we lose, and does it matter, matter if we live or die?

It's like No Lives Matter by Body Count, or God Was Never On Your Side by Motörhead or The Raven by Killing Joke: "Don't follow leaders. No gods, no slaves, no masters. Solidarity must come from within us to truly connect us, not from above, our actions must speak to our true selves and our own understanding and responsibilities for ourselves, our next of kin and others, our awarenes of our environments. Not from someone else's command. We are all together in this thing called life, but each of us has to live their own life and die their own death in the end. The most important battle rages within every one of us, and it is about whether we recognize this or fail to do so." That's what all these songs seem to be about, ultimately.
More or less its mean if we want our paradise we should stop follow the leaders of this world that enslave us. We are the many and they are the few, but they know how to use fear against us. There are no greater weapon than fear, and right now you all are falling for it. If humanity only would stand up and kill every politicans and world leaders and the police that will protect them, this world would be a paradise.People ahve demonstrated for decades, it does nothing. Its time to take action against the few. Drop that fear and do it now. We will all die some day anyway, lets do what is best for our children. All bands more or less sings like this with riddles. They all are putting out how darkness is controlling us, just think about it. Most songs are about the love of the night, moon and darkness if you read the lyrics, and we the people are to brainashed to see the reality. Its right there infront of our eyes. Its time to wake up. The only bands that gets big today are the ones that sings about negativity things. This world is rulled by the evil, and they want us all in fear as they are afraid that we will wake up. And if w do wake up we would take over this planet in days, as we are the many and we are the love. We humans are not suppose to live like we have for the last 3000 years. They just trying to delay it, but its time to wake up and envolve as we should have a thousand year ago, before the dark age. Only thing that is stopping the humanity is fear, nothing else. And you are all filled with it.
@@gustavusadolphus4103 I don’t think that it is that extreme of a message at all. I think it’s just a song about just propaganda and how we can be lead to do terrible things so easily. And it’s up to us to see that when there is hate and misery in the world, we caused it. We bought into what were lies, because we don’t like the truth, stuff like that.
Imagine The ESC, where every county sends their best Metal Bands. Germany will probably win with Rammstein or loose because they think Tokio Hotel is Metal^^
@@AlNikDi Sorry but I think that Sweden would be too hard to beat for anyone. Apocalyptica + Sabaton + Ghost + Avatar + Candlemass (but I recon that Doom Metal may be a little more niche nowadays) etc = they have too much choice of Bands that have a clear shot at winning something for different reasons that even if they were to lose once, they'd probably end up with the highest number of wins in the end
@@ora10053 Well, fair enough. I would have placed Finland as the only contender for Sweden anyway seeing the amazing band from there too (Korpiklaani and Nightwish are the first that come to mind, now followed by them as well)
Joakim has become my favorite singer and vocalist, and that is saying a lot considering I listen to about 40 different bands. He is just so amazing and such a great story teller through music. Thank you for.all you do!
This is a very emotional song in just the right way. It makes me feel good that even though there is a sense of fear an anger, there is also hope and determination.
How does this video not have 1 million views right now???? It has beautiful music, haunting lyrics and an awesome guest singer!! I listen to it every day!!
I don't think the song is about war and battles as you know it from Sabaton. I understand the lyrics so that it is about how much society is divided. That society can be controlled and does not rise up against injustice and oppression. Formulated in an exaggerated manner, I see in the text a call for resistance to evil and injustice in this world. And i f***ing love it!
Spot on! To me, it is also more about a mental battle: This song is very much like No Lives Matter by Body Count, or God Was Never On Your Side by Motörhead, or The Raven by Killing Joke. Their common message is: "Don't follow leaders. No gods, no slaves, no masters.

The most important battle rages within every one of us, and it is about whether we recognize this or fail to do so." That's what all these songs seem to be about, ultimately.
Everyone's so focused on Joakim (who's fucking great, don't get me wrong) that no one's paying attention to the meaning of the song. I love how so many bands are standing up to people destroying the planet (Amaranthe also did a song about this recently) and I hope people take the time to listen to the lyrics and do their part to protect our planet.
Joakim has a voice that just fits into every metal song ever made. I swear every time he collaborates with other bands it sounds like the songs were written with his voice in mind even though they probably weren't. Doesn't matter if he's Pumping Iron with Grailknights, charging up the Gates of Glory with Twilight Force or getting Called by people with Pain, it just works.
First Amaranthe with Angela Gossow, Do or Die Now Apocalyptica with Joakim, Live or die Whats next? Powerwolf with Gloryhammer? Rise or Die or something? Great song!
Shame that Gossow is a literal tard along with Gluz. Clearly should keep out of stuff they know shit about, even less threaten someone's job because of something that didn't involve them.
I've got to say, I love the combination of the Cellos (Sorry if they aren't cellos. I don't know instruments very well) and Joakim singing makes this the single best crossover song I've ever heard.
I though Joakim couldn't get any cooler after 'Bismark.' How wrong I was. Joakim is the ultimate metal singer of our times. The metal singer for all people. Gravelly voice suits the metal style, but not too much like the grunt singers, and not too little like pop singers. He has that perfect 'power' voice, that somehow seems to go with smooth things like violins too. He's a gift.
@@comradesam3382 I actually just know their own versions, no collaborations. But I saw them do Fields of Verdun together on the European Tour in February, so yes... This is great. Everything they collaborate on turns out to be a masterpiece in my opinion. Just look at the re-mastered version of Angels Calling. I liked the old one, but the new one is just... pure perfection? 🙈
@@comradesam3382 correct me if I am wrong I don't think they collaborated on Fields of Verdun I think Apocalyptica did a remake of it, either way it's a killer song
When i was hearing you both in Barcelona i literally thought "woulda been fucking rad if Apocalyptica and Sabaton collab'd again, but instead of using Apocalyptica's instrumental, Joakim should sing with them!" and here i am, enjoying this amazing piece, thanks mates!
i love this song, and its insane how different his voice sounds, its just so much more lyrical and smooth. love it to bits, wouldnt mind a couple of songs more like this on the next album just to break it up a little more
By the Emperor... This is bloody magnificent! Having listened to a few of Apocolyptica's songs plus many of Sabaton's, this is a collab I friggin love! 10/10 in my eyes!
Hello Apocalyptica. 🎻 Great video and song too. You are so meaningful band and you know why. Best cello metal band ever. 👏🏻 ...another Apocalyptica's masterpiece...🎻🎼🎻🎼
What I love about this song’s lyrics is the fact that they could be about so many situations. It could be political, emotional, war, relationships. It is an amazing song with amazing lyrics!
I really love the overtones added in the intros to the chorus to give Joakim's voice the necessary harmonies while still retaining the guttural qualities of what he does best. It also hold's very true to the nature of Sabaton's music, being a battle or war. In this case our war on our destruction on our own planet.

Tuli Tarja Elgistä Joakimin Jumalatar. Hän nuole tulen polttanut haavat ja noet miehensä Joakimin nahkasta 😊
A fine addition to my collection. Sadly this songs wasn’t released yet when you played in Munich. Awesome show btw
Joakim is an avatar of metal.
This song has every right to be this good
this song makes me visualise a biplane pilot flying over a snowy mountain and frozen lake
Here's a crazy idea: Do a collab with The HU guys!! I would love to see what comes out of this!
i love Joakim's accent when he sings.
I honestly cant stop hitting replay
This song hits differently today....
I though Joakim couldn't get any cooler after 'Bismark.' How wrong I was. Joakim is the ultimate metal singer of our times. The metal singer for all people. Gravelly voice suits the metal style, but not too much like the grunt singers, and not too little like pop singers. He has that perfect 'power' voice, that somehow seems to go with smooth things like violins too. He's a gift.
I discovered this song yesterday, and I am in love with it 😍 Joakim's voice is absolutely perfect in this😍 🤘
I absolutely love this! This song gives me goosebumps! 🖤
... and I'm definitely hoping for more collaborations of Apocalyptica and Sabaton.
Try fields of verdun, they colaborated on one version
@@comradesam3382 I actually just know their own versions, no collaborations. But I saw them do Fields of Verdun together on the European Tour in February, so yes... This is great. Everything they collaborate on turns out to be a masterpiece in my opinion. Just look at the re-mastered version of Angels Calling. I liked the old one, but the new one is just... pure perfection? 🙈
Don't forget Angel's Calling my favorite right after this one
@@comradesam3382 correct me if I am wrong I don't think they collaborated on Fields of Verdun I think Apocalyptica did a remake of it, either way it's a killer song
@@kimberlycosta5005 yes that's what I thought too... Apocalyptica even released their version before Sabaton even released the original I think.
You can take Joakim out of Sabaton, but never Sabaton out of Joakim. His style is the same. Epic song!
Woah-oh-oh-oh Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Post production: How many flames do you want?
Director: Yes!
When i was hearing you both in Barcelona i literally thought "woulda been fucking rad if Apocalyptica and Sabaton collab'd again, but instead of using Apocalyptica's instrumental, Joakim should sing with them!" and here i am, enjoying this amazing piece, thanks mates!
Joakim invented metal sign language.
I swear this guy is featured in every other song I come across doing vocals .... and I’m cool with that
Joakim is a beast of a singer...he can`t do anything bad
i love this song, and its insane how different his voice sounds, its just so much more lyrical and smooth. love it to bits, wouldnt mind a couple of songs more like this on the next album just to break it up a little more
I m from from finland and im very proud of apocalyptica:)
By the Emperor...
This is bloody magnificent! Having listened to a few of Apocolyptica's songs plus many of Sabaton's, this is a collab I friggin love! 10/10 in my eyes!
Sabaton and Apocalyptica are a great combination. I loved what they did on the tour.
30% Bond intro song, 30% Eurovision song contest and 40% Sabaton/Apocalyptica
Hello Apocalyptica. 🎻 Great video and song too. You are so meaningful band and you know why. Best cello metal band ever. 👏🏻 ...another Apocalyptica's masterpiece...🎻🎼🎻🎼
Tremenda voz, el vocalista de Sabaton.
Joakim Brodén seems like always prepared for battle
Extremely true the lyrics are applicable now
What I love about this song’s lyrics is the fact that they could be about so many situations. It could be political, emotional, war, relationships. It is an amazing song with amazing lyrics!
Wow. The chorus of this song got my spine shivering. What a great song, and what an awsome collaboration. You guys never fail to surprise me.
Outstanding!!! Saw the VLOG where Joakim and Apocalyptica shot the video, turned out as AWESOME as it looked.
I’ve got this sudden urge to learn the cello.
"Crying out for desperate measures
For a vengeance that will carry on forever
But the king will never pay for his crimes"
God, that hurts.
Pyrotechnician: Alright guys, how much fire do you need for the video?
Apocalyptica: Yes.
I really love the overtones added in the intros to the chorus to give Joakim's voice the necessary harmonies while still retaining the guttural qualities of what he does best. It also hold's very true to the nature of Sabaton's music, being a battle or war. In this case our war on our destruction on our own planet.
Apocalyptica: "Hey Joakim. Wanna sing for us on our new track?"
Joakim: "Sure, as long as you buy me an APC as tanks... err thanks!"
😁
M.D.Metal *tanks
He wears half an APC during performances already.
Joakim is just a few metal plates away from being a full on cyborg.
This is what perfection sounds like.
I love Apocalyptica and Sabaton. This song is very nice.
