In the Sobibor concentration camp in eastern occupied Poland, the Nazis placed curtains covered with inscriptions in Hebrew in front of the door leading to the gas chamber, which they had stolen from a nearby synagogue
Fun Fact: Sabaton refuses to play this version of the song live because they feel this is not the song that anyone should be headbanging too or anything, They play this song ONLY acoustically now in order to show more respect Also right before the chorus hits, they way they made the drums sounds mimics the sound of a train going down the tracks. Very haunting.
On a more positive note The Last Battle by Sabaton has a great example of humanity and how just because someone is German doesn't mean they are a a Nazi. It's also one of those stories that I think desperately needs a movie about it.
That and 'hearts of iron' which was about a unit of Germain soldiers who fought to the last man to force a corridor through the American front and escort 100,000 civilians out of Berlin while the city was burning and the soviets were closing in from the other side.
This song always leaves me conflicted. One one hand, it sounds amazing but on the other hand, the story is so heart wrenching. We must NEVER forget all who have died in The Holocaust, may they rest in peace.
@@JoJoLewis "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." and I agree that people today does not seem to learn the important history stuff in school in USA today, it is more important to learn other weird stuff, like how to talk with words that not hurt someone...one of my teacher threw a 2 inch eraser in my head once because I was not paying attention....I did after....not saying it was right, but it worked...today I assume he would have been fired?
We have to learn from history but we also have to differenate between who committed evil deeds and those who have noting to do with this If your grandfather is a criminal then you must be a criminal too this is how many people think when they hear something like this
They played 'The Final Solution' as instrumental at their 2017 tour in Germany. And then out of nowhere the entire audience was singing as loud as possible. One of the most impressive concert moments ever!
As a German I need to say, that even if this was at my great-grandparents Time, many of us feel the obligation to carry the memory of this dark times foward, so nothing comparable ever happens again. I feel like every German should visit a KZ once in their Life to feel the anguish of these Places even present decades later, to fullfill this duty of memory. Of course it is intensly told in our schools, but just the pure 'knowledge' doen't even scrash the surface.
then your totally wrong i mean i am German and tbh idc it was not me who did that it was not my Father who did that. Stop blame germans for bein NAzis cause we did 1 bad thing. Ottomans do that today with the Kurdish People, China do that today with People, Russia do that with People. Dont blame Germany when a lot of Countrys do that today.
I feel like no one today should feel the weight and responsibility for what happened but EVERYONE should learn deeply about it and make sure it doesn’t happen again ya know
It's important that everyone learn about the Holocaust. But it is just as important that everyone, *EVERYONE* learn that not all Germans were supportive of Hitler's Third Reich. Many fought against him and died in camps or prisons themselves, and the majority of the populace did not know about the camps. Everyone needs to learn of heroes who fought; Claus Stauffenberg and fellow co conspirators in the July 20 Plot, Josef Gangl who gave his life defending POWs from Waffen-SS, Oskar Schindler who rescued over 1200 Jews from Auschwitz, etc. That particular evil did not belong to a nation or a people. It belonged to an ideology.
Additional fact: The famous words at the gate of Auschwitz “work sets you free” was a cruel play on words (found at many other camps as well). When liberating Treblinka, another sinister play on words was found; one that made (still makes) people at a complete loss of words. The wayward to the inevitable chamber had the word “”Himmelstrasse” on the top of the gate. The word translates to “Heaven’s Road”.
@Jojo: There is a reason why, even today, the Jews still alive always say: "Never again. Never forget." I'll put it this way: My 10th grade English teacher went to Europe, and visited Dachau. She brought back pictures of the camp. The pictures of the horrors I saw that day hit me so deeply that I wasnt aware of it, until later -- and when it did, I nearly broke down in my history class. In English class, this was paired with the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor. That book, if you've never read it, will make you awed and angry, and probably filled with sorrow. Though it was one of the darkest chapters of human history, I fully agree: Never again. Never forget.
I am German. I have seen them live several times and one time they played this as an acoustic version in Germany. So good while hitting so hard. I have never cried so much for multiple reasons at a concert.
Price Of A Mile is another deep song,put you in a state I cannot explain, isn't sadness,it doesn't make you cry but is a state when you remain and think.
the Sabaton History Channel video for this is also a good punch in the gut, there are a very few video's of them playing this live, but for the most part they don't perform this song as it's a heavy topic . but still an amazing song. NEVER FORGET
Yeah, this one hits hard! One thing that stand out for me in this song are the drums, I think they made them sound like a train slowly rolling on the track towards Auschwitz!
Yes, true. Especially right before the refrain, when the guitar goes up and down between an E and an F. You can actually hear a clanking undertone like that of railway trucks.
Sabaton has this touch that gives sense to every word, covered and coated in a very catchy music. That made their songs something strong and ineffable. Peace on you. Loading empathy !
The base beat with the drums near the end to me is very similar to the sound of running steam trains, that's how most of the prisoners arrived at the camps. Such a gut punch song
This is a very deep and educational song. I'm also a history nerd and when I was 15 my school was visited by an Auschwitz survivor (If I recall correctly, his name was Emerich Roth. I may be wrong. It was about 10 years ago.) and we even had the "privilege" to visit Auschwitz. I highly recommend go visit those places. Even if you're not that interested in history, this is an important chapter of history that must never, ever *ever* be forgotten, lest it repeats again.
Sadly it seems its going to repeat again, maybe nowhere near the cruelty and evil, but back then you really could say the Nazis took the Jews for the thought crime of daring to be Jews, or the myriad others they took for daring to go against the regime. They were first marginalized and treated as outcasts, then their businesses boycotted and their livelihoods dashed and their jobs lost and they were marked to be obvious to others to be avoided, and these days those who disagree with certain parties (its obvious which < party) are being marginalized and treated as outcasts by their woke, many business owners who don't bow get sued or fined heavily for disobeying, jobs were lost when many didn't want to bow to the government saying "its for your own good" once again just as the Nazis did back then, some are publicly canceled or have black marks put on their identity that employers can see and thus overlook a good person for the position, it makes me wonder what the final step will be, once all who disagree with our current growing regime in the West are fully isolated in the coming years and left to waste away what suffering they'll heap upon us or otherwise just work hard to "cleanse" the nation of the dissenters and the ones who have disabilities, like the whole MAID crap now. Imagine world leaders who remember the Holocaust and yet they decide to perform the same things just with better tech and more subtlety and propaganda and distractions so nobody notices what's happening beneath our noses, as well as failing to teach us about the past with the gravitas required to burn it into our minds as a thing to watch out for, fight against and avoid. We're at the beginning right now.
This is history that needs to be told and never forgotten so it won't be repeated. Nowadays they say that our younger generations are selfish and are lacking in empathy and understanding. They haven't seen you. You are a remarkable person and I am so happy that I stumbled upon your reactions. Stay safe and keep true to yourself.
While this song is amazing and the story behind it is one of humanity's worst tragedies I can't stop from headbanging all the way along, it's simply too powerful... And the fact that the guitar's riff is the sound of an old train simply highlights the talent and creativity that distinguish sabaton from other bands
Thank you for your honest reaction! I recommended this song, but I really hope you don't feel too bad after been listening to it. Sabaton are masters of what they're doing. I love this song, but like you said, it hits hard. I only listen to it once in a while, because it's so sad and heavy. For your next reaction, try "Lion from the North" (official music video from the Great Tour). I promise it's a different experience... 😉🤘
Did that museum you're talking about happen to be the Jewish Museum of Sydney by any chance? I went there twice and both times they had a Holocaust survivor talk to us. The saddest part was the room full of pictures of children who died and had no names attached to the photos.
Such an intense song, telling a horrific story. I remember many stories my grandparents told me about the WW2 period and even my dad, who was a little boy at the time, remembers some things very vividly. These stories need to keep being told and Sabaton does that very well. Greetings from the Netherlands.
You should watch Final Solution immediately after Rise of Evil. They go hand in hand and tell the whole story of the rise of Hitler to power and the call for then execution of the Holocaust. Definitely more impact full to listen to both songs together. I've been a LONG time WW2 history nut and Sabaton has taught me things that even I haven't heard about or known of. They are in a unique class of their own who deserve all the heaps of accolades and praises thrown their way. They transcend music, genres, race, religion and politics. They have taken it upon themselves to ensure that we don't forget our past and are not doomed to repeat the tragedies throughout the ages. They are gods amongst moral men and I for one am forever grateful for them spreading the knowledge and experiences of our forefathers and ancestors.
I honestly believe they are one of the most important bands around today. More people absolutely need to hear them. They tell important moments in history weather well known or not!
I had the pleasure of meeting a polish surviver that our school arranged. And listening to him talk about that experience was something else and something that i will never forget.
This one is definitely hard. I don't listen to it often bc of the very reasons you mentioned. For a Sabaton song that inspires patriotism and the need to go pick up arms, I suggest their cover of Radio Tapok's "Defense of Moscow." I'm not Russian, but that song makes me wanna go fight for the motherland every time I hear it.
I had the honor of visiting Dachau. We were the first group in morning. So few people in the camp so we had a lot of open space. I saw the place with branches permanently bent. They shot people in the back of the head there. Then the firing squad field. The guard towers. I never felt so packed and watched in an open area. The gas chamber wall was rough unsmooth. I felt suffocation there. Just packed among the souls. The thousands of souls of the fallen are there. It's a place of utter disparity. I still think if anyone gets the chance, take it. You'll feel something so powerful and somber that nothing can match that kind of evil that also resides in the trees, the buildings, just everything.
Music invokes feelings, sometimes happy and sometimes genuinely sad. Especially when the song is covering a topic like this one. Feeling distraught after hearing this song only proves that you are a good person. Imagine leaving this with a smile on your face.. No, it's a heavy subject, but if we do not continue to expose the ugly truths of history we run the risk of them disappearing in time, and we can't allow that to happen.
Sabaton absolutely needs to be heard by more people. They share important history lessons that need to be shared. F this song is probably the most mature song I’ve heard if the subject and I think it will really be if it people to hear it.
I once listened to The Finale Solution while watching the pictures (in black and white) of Sabaton's visit to Auschwitz ... HOLY ... DUCKFUCK! Let's just day my home was invaded by onion-cutting ninjas! THAT was powerful!
As hard as this song is to listen to, if you happen to go back and listen to it again, you will noticed they added in one very brilliant touch.. throughout the song, they use guitar riffs and drums to replicate the sounds of a moving train. Its most noticeable in the background during "Enter the gates, Auschwitz Awaits".
This and the "why we fight" episode of band of brothers It's good that they both had the balls.to cover such a hard subject though it is a bit of an emotional gut punch
Thank you for the kind words!. I really appreciate your support through this entire time! Im honestly trying my best to figure out ways to Improve the content. So far Ive made the vid quality a little better and tried to improve upon the thumbnails. Ill probably be posting some more original music based content soon Just to add a bit of variety. haha Sorry for the long ass paragraph. I know you didnt really ask so my bad hahaha
@@JoJoLewis I actually appreciate the comments bro I notice that reactors when reacting to certain bands will gain subs from the bands or genres that follow Your reactions are legit and it's 1 thing many reactors change as they blow up They wanna hear what they react to pre reaction and it shows Hopping that you keep em original
Im from Poland, wright here this shit had happend, I want to cry, every time I hear that song. Sabaton - Uprising, the second one emocional song from Sabaton tell us about uprising in Warsaw. Thx
I'm not sure if it was in the Sabaton History or who said it, but remembering horrible events in the past is only the first part, it is just as - if not even more - important to remember how it came to this, the decisions and attitudes that lead to them. I agree with that.
to me the instruments fading at the end to just vocals has always conveyed the death of hope since most of their songs are celebratory in nature the removal of the music makes the final chorus sound that much darker and the last fade out is that single scared voice being lost in the darkness forever and now I need to go listen to something upbeat sabaton: swedish pagans - the perennial sabaton party song and Joakim's hatred of it is mostly an act babymetal: oh majinai - Joakim growling plus babymetal's energy ends up with the ultimate pirate song the Hu: wolf totem - just because they sound like nothing else
This song is one that you just kinda...just sits and takes in. Its a dark thing to listen to, when you know its context. On a school trip many many many years ago, I went to see the camp in Prague. I hated being there becouse the feelings were so intense. So treated it like a boring playground, but I just stuck by my teachers and did the tour and left. I then later found out that, the one in Prague was considered a luxusury, compared to other camps. I have seen them on Google Maps and still the intense energy of those places, flows thru the screen. Im not sure I wanna visit those places, but its a part of history that cant be forgotten. Have a good day.
@@JoJoLewis As someone whos sensitive to energys, I can assure you, that walking into a place like that, was a nightmare. The feeling I got when I stepped thru those gates , has haunted me ever since. I wouldet dare to go visit the big places. Have a good day.
The Price of a Mile, Angels Calling, The End of the War to End all Wars, Cliff of Gallipoli, En Livstid I Krig, The Hammer Has Fallen, Inmate 4859 for me are the ones most "heaviest" songs from Sabaton. But this one, exactly this one, is the first place...
I visited Auschwitz for a high school trip... and I can tell you, not one of us 68 teens left with dry eyes. Sometimes the only way to see the best in humanity, is to see our worst. It was a great trip, even thou we visted a true place of evil, It was very insightful. I do recomend going if you get a chance.
If you check live version of this song it hits even harder. They put special flames on scene and do this song using acoustic guitars and boxes instead of drums.
One little musical detail: the bass is actually played to sound like a train on the move, and right at the end of the pre-chorus, the ride cymbal sound like the bell used to annouce the arrival of a train.
If you're looking to react to more Sabaton I'd recommend profusely, "Cliffs of Gallipoli" It's a song about the battle of Gallipoli, where ANZAC forces tried to storm Turkey in an effort to break the stalemate WW1 had become, The battle has since been seen as a senseless waste of lives, yet there is no bitterness between Turkey and Australia as a result of it, the men on both sides were both seen as young boys that senselessly and needlessly lost their lives To Quote Turkey's first president, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, speaking on the matter "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."
@@JoJoLewis glad to hear it dude! Just discovered your channel, always great to see someone discover Sabaton, delving into the rabbit hole You’re certainly in for a wild ride
Sabaton is the greatest history teacher of all time! I would have been more into history if I had them as teachers instead of the boring one I had in high-school. As a fellow swede I'm proud to have the same nationality as them.. if I'm lucky enough to attend one of their concerts I wouldn't have any problems speaking to them if I were got the chance. :-) Btw.. I love your reactions, so sweet and genuine. Wish you all the best and hope more people comes to your channel. New subscriber here 👋
I live in Germany though not a German and on the 200 metre walk to the tram stop by my house I have to walk past three sets of Stolpersteine (hand-crafted brass plaques in the ground where victims of the Nazi regime last lived) They are a powerful everyday reminder of the holocaust.
It's interesting to me how people react differently to these songs. Some people get emotional and sad, while others i know, me included, feel mostly anger with this song.
good reaction mate :) that song have a lot of feelings, sad feelings... sorry about what i said now, but lot of ppl talking about Polish concentration camp, Poland never had it, only Germany and USSR.
Fun fact : the beat in the background of the song is almost the exact same as the sound of a train but the trainlike noises stop after he says “auschwitz awaits”…. You can guess why
Now we've started down the path of life transforming experiences from metal, a few (admittingly standard) recommendations would be Jinjer - Pieces (live session) - for unique female vocals Devin Townsend - Kingdom (EMG TV version) - for unique male vocals Tool/Danny Carey - Pneuma (drum cam) - for the drummer often hailed as the octopus
If I remember correctly they don’t really ever perform this song live and if they do it’s just an acoustic version and they don’t animate themselves. They are very serious about their music and history. Great reactions man!
@@JoJoLewis sweet! Its a crazy story i’d never heard off if it wasn’t for sabaton! And I love watching your journey through all the amazing stories sabaton have to offer! Also love how you are showing the true feelings these songs brings! Keep up the great work, I’m all here for it! 😍
@@JoJoLewis That one is really great in a different way than most Sabaton songs. I would say the real epicness lies in the history with that one. One of the few where the Sabaton history video is actually better than the music itself.. It should be considered a crime that the major film studios have not made at least a dozen movies about that guy. It's a truly great, and f:ed up, story..
I loved learning that! Imagine going to Auschwitz willingly in order to find out what it was exactly, then escape. It must have been heart breaking for Witold to tell the Polish what he learned, and then have his requests for a rescue/assault on Auschwitz be denied simply because they didn't have enough people.
I'm still searching your channel daily looking for your reaction to Jinjer Pisces live session because you said it was coming. I'll look again tomorrow
I can't remember where I read it, think it was the official lyric video. But anyways, someone had pointed at certain points in the song the guitar sounds like the wheels of a steam engine chugging along. It's really fucking erie to think about that.
Some cool Battle between the bands (Sabaton style) Sabaton - 82nd all the way Amaranthe - 82nd all the way Sabaton - Carolus Rex Follow the Cipher - Carolus Rex Manowar - Kingdom Come Sabaton - Kingdom Come Amon Amarth - Twighlight of the thundergod Sabaton - Twighlight of the tundergod
You can always tell when someone has actually studied this before, the difference is very noticeable and as one who also walked that museum (or one like it) i agree, not a daily listener but definitely one more people should know; if you'll excuse me, I need to go refill my kleenex box
This is only the 2nd Sabaton song I've heard, the other being Christmas Truce. I'm getting the impression one doesn't listen Sabaton to feel good and uplifted. Don't get me wrong musically I'm liking it, but damn their subject matter is hard. Bloody hell.
@Ian Wood. Not all of Sabaton’s songs are about difficult subjects, but I applaud them for caring enough to bring notice to difficult subjects in a very respectful manner. He’s done other Sabaton songs that are the opposite of these sad, depressed songs. So much so, one can only feel pumped and ready to take on the world or being proud to be Russian when you’re actually an American! If you like, I can recommend some really fun and “uplifting” songs…and there are lots of them!
Quite a few of there songs have a heavy subject they talk about, but alot of the songs are uplifting and bring pride and patriotism out. (To me at least) such as Ghost Division, 40 to 1, Coat of Arms, and 82nd all the way to name a few are songs that pump me up. But thats why they are my favorite band, they bring so many emotions out from music, make you feel pride for countries your not from, and teach history in an interesting way.
Thanks for the replies. Since they've been around a while any suggestions on what would be a good album to start with to ease me in? Not expecting JoJo to have much here since it's as new to you as it is to me.
Great reaction, mate!) Wanna mix this something different for ya to react to: The Quemists - Run You (Official MV)) The Quemists are Drum'nBass band from UK and I'm pretty shure you'll like their music))
Thanks for the kind words man!!! I’ve written them into the list and hopefully in the coming days we get through enough videos to do them really really soon!
On January 20th, 1942, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich Security Head Office held the Wannsee Conference which was attended by the head of the Gestapo (German secret police) Heinrich Müller, Adolf Eichman and 12 other SS and party leaders. Together they planned the "Final solution to the Jewish question in Europe". The plan was to "evacuate" the Jews to the east. Heydrich during the conference: "In the course of the practical execution of the Final Solution, Europe will be combed through from west to east. Germany proper, including the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, will have to be handled first due to the housing problem and additional social and political necessities." "The evacuated Jews will first be sent, group by group, to so-called transit ghettos, from which they will be transported to the East" The final solution would encompass the ~11 million Jews living in territories controlled by Germany and elsewhere in Europe, including Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Turkey, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, and Hungary, dependent on "military developments" Also, to the song itself: I don't think you noticed it, but the guitar riff resembles the sound of a train driving at high speeds. Train was the main way of transportation Jews to concentration camps in cattle wagons.
Its intresting that people still call sabaton a "na*I" band and that the people it are active nass*is I as a swede got told that even by teachers when growing up , last time a teacher told me that, that I can remember was like 2018 2019
If you want som difrent metal(you need some happy song after this one) you should try to react to Feuerschwanz song Ding ( is som cover of a club song) they are ohmm virking/folke metal band , Or GLORYHAMMER with Gloryhammer ,is a powermetal band that realy brings the Cheese.
Oh you should give them a liste then, hootsforce is a good one as well, tho alot of great songs just not so Many with a video sadly. Thanks for a good reacting btw and keep working on that headbanging you realy got the hair for it😁🤘🤘
I want to say “great reaction” but those words don’t really feel appropriate. With in the first second of the song you knew what it was going to be, and the emotions were clear on your face. I think you reacted to this song and subject with a high level of respect while still giving your thoughts on the song itself and its technical ability to invoke emotions. It is tough to really talk or comment when the weight of all those emotions is on you. As somebody who has been listening to Sabaton for many years, I feel like most people who are aware of them assume that they are that one military/war history metal group. While there is some truth to that claim, a lot their songs deal with and focus on the tragedy and cruelty of war. Many of their best songs are of moments when despite the bloodshed and mass death, a moment of humanity can shine through. “The Final Solution” as a Sabaton song always sticks out for me as it feels so bleak and depressing. There is no light or ray of hope, it is just death and slaughter and pain and suffering. I recommend you having a listen to a song from their “Heroes” album titled “Inmate 4859”. It is about Polish officer Witold Pilecki who infiltrated Auschwitz to gather evidence of the holocaust to show the world.
I really appreciate that. Honestly I take that as a massive compliment thank you so much! Ill absolutely take a look at your suggestion. Thank you again!!!
This hit me so hard. I am speechless.
Just wanted to say, im loving ur reactions! Seen every video by now!
You should hear it live.. was just the front singer and his piano ... the crowed was so quite
We cried together
Oh man, buddy... You are picking one of the most intense, darkest song there.
i think everyone one who knows what happend gets hit hard by this. important thats its not forgotten
I think Sabaton are metal Bards. They tell meaningful stories through their music in a way that has largely been forgotten for a long time.
SABATON ARE BARDS ITS CANNON NOW
That is actually a really good way of putting it 😄👍🤘
In the Sobibor concentration camp in eastern occupied Poland, the Nazis placed curtains covered with inscriptions in Hebrew in front of the door leading to the gas chamber, which they had stolen from a nearby synagogue
Fun Fact: Sabaton refuses to play this version of the song live because they feel this is not the song that anyone should be headbanging too or anything, They play this song ONLY acoustically now in order to show more respect
Also right before the chorus hits, they way they made the drums sounds mimics the sound of a train going down the tracks. Very haunting.
I feel like that is such a good move from Sabaton
Bro I never noticed that, but now that you point it out, yea it does sound like a train going down tracks, right before the chorus
in times before these were welded, as they're now
On a more positive note The Last Battle by Sabaton has a great example of humanity and how just because someone is German doesn't mean they are a a Nazi. It's also one of those stories that I think desperately needs a movie about it.
That and 'hearts of iron' which was about a unit of Germain soldiers who fought to the last man to force a corridor through the American front and escort 100,000 civilians out of Berlin while the city was burning and the soviets were closing in from the other side.
I AGREE! What a movie that would make; how has it not happened yet??
This song always leaves me conflicted. One one hand, it sounds amazing but on the other hand, the story is so heart wrenching. We must NEVER forget all who have died in The Holocaust, may they rest in peace.
The sad thing is people are actually starting to care less about past mistakes like this. It’s so bothersome.
We must never forget who commited those deeds
@@JoJoLewis "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." and I agree that people today does not seem to learn the important history stuff in school in USA today, it is more important to learn other weird stuff, like how to talk with words that not hurt someone...one of my teacher threw a 2 inch eraser in my head once because I was not paying attention....I did after....not saying it was right, but it worked...today I assume he would have been fired?
Exactly, nowadays social studies (history) is history second and agenda pushing first.
We have to learn from history but we also have to differenate between who committed evil deeds and those who have noting to do with this
If your grandfather is a criminal then you must be a criminal too this is how many people think when they hear something like this

we had one of the KZ survivors in our school 20+ years ago, it hit hard. And today, with me knowing more, even more.
@@HereticalKitsune I absolutly understand. This hits much harder than 'just' the Facts out of the Book, or even visiting the KZs.
then your totally wrong i mean i am German and tbh idc it was not me who did that it was not my Father who did that. Stop blame germans for bein NAzis cause we did 1 bad thing.

Jesus Christ…you’re right… I honestly don’t know what to say…
@Jojo: There is a reason why, even today, the Jews still alive always say:
"Never again. Never forget."
I'll put it this way: My 10th grade English teacher went to Europe, and visited Dachau. She brought back pictures of the camp. The pictures of the horrors I saw that day hit me so deeply that I wasnt aware of it, until later -- and when it did, I nearly broke down in my history class.

Though it was one of the darkest chapters of human history, I fully agree:
Never again. Never forget.
It is such a horrible event. I honestly genuinely hope it never stops getting taught about in schools
I am German. I have seen them live several times and one time they played this as an acoustic version in Germany. So good while hitting so hard. I have never cried so much for multiple reasons at a concert.
Price Of A Mile is another deep song,put you in a state I cannot explain, isn't sadness,it doesn't make you cry but is a state when you remain and think.
Im actually keen to hear it. Ill add it to the list and get the reaction out real soon!
the Sabaton History Channel video for this is also a good punch in the gut, there are a very few video's of them playing this live, but for the most part they don't perform this song as it's a heavy topic . but still an amazing song. NEVER FORGET
I will absolutely have to watch the history video for it and I think it’s a solid idea they don’t perform this live honestly hah
They preform it in Poland in 2017 in Cracow.
@@riccardoricci937 considering hat Auschwitz isn't far from Kraków, that must've been quite a thing.
As depressing as this song is. Like all sabaton tracks it absolutely slaps.
It is epic in ways I find difficult to describe.
Yeah, this one hits hard!
One thing that stand out for me in this song are the drums, I think they made them sound like a train slowly rolling on the track towards Auschwitz!
Yes, true. Especially right before the refrain, when the guitar goes up and down between an E and an F. You can actually hear a clanking undertone like that of railway trucks.
They've done something conceptually similar in The Lost Battalion when they used gun sound samples for drums, IIRC.
Sabaton has this touch that gives sense to every word, covered and coated in a very catchy music. That made their songs something strong and ineffable.
Peace on you. Loading empathy !
It directly puts the emotions they are trying to portray right in you. They are amazing with words and music maybe in the best at it
The base beat with the drums near the end to me is very similar to the sound of running steam trains, that's how most of the prisoners arrived at the camps. Such a gut punch song
This is a very deep and educational song. I'm also a history nerd and when I was 15 my school was visited by an Auschwitz survivor (If I recall correctly, his name was Emerich Roth. I may be wrong. It was about 10 years ago.) and we even had the "privilege" to visit Auschwitz. I highly recommend go visit those places. Even if you're not that interested in history, this is an important chapter of history that must never, ever *ever* be forgotten, lest it repeats again.
Ive always wanted to visit those places.I feel wrong saying that but I feel like it would be very educational and a really humbling experience
Sadly it seems its going to repeat again, maybe nowhere near the cruelty and evil, but back then you really could say the Nazis took the Jews for the thought crime of daring to be Jews, or the myriad others they took for daring to go against the regime. They were first marginalized and treated as outcasts, then their businesses boycotted and their livelihoods dashed and their jobs lost and they were marked to be obvious to others to be avoided, and these days those who disagree with certain parties (its obvious which < party) are being marginalized and treated as outcasts by their woke, many business owners who don't bow get sued or fined heavily for disobeying, jobs were lost when many didn't want to bow to the government saying "its for your own good" once again just as the Nazis did back then, some are publicly canceled or have black marks put on their identity that employers can see and thus overlook a good person for the position, it makes me wonder what the final step will be, once all who disagree with our current growing regime in the West are fully isolated in the coming years and left to waste away what suffering they'll heap upon us or otherwise just work hard to "cleanse" the nation of the dissenters and the ones who have disabilities, like the whole MAID crap now. Imagine world leaders who remember the Holocaust and yet they decide to perform the same things just with better tech and more subtlety and propaganda and distractions so nobody notices what's happening beneath our noses, as well as failing to teach us about the past with the gravitas required to burn it into our minds as a thing to watch out for, fight against and avoid. We're at the beginning right now.
This is history that needs to be told and never forgotten so it won't be repeated. Nowadays they say that our younger generations are selfish and are lacking in empathy and understanding. They haven't seen you. You are a remarkable person and I am so happy that I stumbled upon your reactions. Stay safe and keep true to yourself.
Thank you so much. Honestly this means so much. I am glad you part of our community!
While this song is amazing and the story behind it is one of humanity's worst tragedies I can't stop from headbanging all the way along, it's simply too powerful... And the fact that the guitar's riff is the sound of an old train simply highlights the talent and creativity that distinguish sabaton from other bands
I honestly felt so bad when I caught my self banging my head a little there I’m not gonna lie
Love this man! Love the channel!
Great and true reaction. I never can listen to this song without tears.
Thanks for a honest reaction. I agree it should be heard by many more people 🤘🎸🎸
Thank you for your honest reaction! I recommended this song, but I really hope you don't feel too bad after been listening to it. Sabaton are masters of what they're doing. I love this song, but like you said, it hits hard. I only listen to it once in a while, because it's so sad and heavy. For your next reaction, try "Lion from the North" (official music video from the Great Tour). I promise it's a different experience... 😉🤘
Thank you for suggesting this song. Even if it’s a hard hitter I’m really glad I listened to it!
one of the best reactions on this song I have seen.
Did that museum you're talking about happen to be the Jewish Museum of Sydney by any chance? I went there twice and both times they had a Holocaust survivor talk to us. The saddest part was the room full of pictures of children who died and had no names attached to the photos.
Actually yeah it was
Such an intense song, telling a horrific story. I remember many stories my grandparents told me about the WW2 period and even my dad, who was a little boy at the time, remembers some things very vividly. These stories need to keep being told and Sabaton does that very well. Greetings from the Netherlands.
This is easily one of the most mature songs to portray this story. It is so heartbreaking but it needs to be told.
You should watch Final Solution immediately after Rise of Evil. They go hand in hand and tell the whole story of the rise of Hitler to power and the call for then execution of the Holocaust. Definitely more impact full to listen to both songs together.
I've been a LONG time WW2 history nut and Sabaton has taught me things that even I haven't heard about or known of. They are in a unique class of their own who deserve all the heaps of accolades and praises thrown their way. They transcend music, genres, race, religion and politics. They have taken it upon themselves to ensure that we don't forget our past and are not doomed to repeat the tragedies throughout the ages. They are gods amongst moral men and I for one am forever grateful for them spreading the knowledge and experiences of our forefathers and ancestors.
I honestly believe they are one of the most important bands around today. More people absolutely need to hear them. They tell important moments in history weather well known or not!
"Rise of Evil" - "We Burn" - "Final Solution"
Go JOJO! nice react!!
Thank you!
That “oh no” was honestly great. It showed he comprehended and understood what was about to come. I as a viewer greatly appreciate that
I had the pleasure of meeting a polish surviver that our school arranged. And listening to him talk about that experience was something else and something that i will never forget.
This one is definitely hard. I don't listen to it often bc of the very reasons you mentioned. For a Sabaton song that inspires patriotism and the need to go pick up arms, I suggest their cover of Radio Tapok's "Defense of Moscow." I'm not Russian, but that song makes me wanna go fight for the motherland every time I hear it.
I need an uplifting Sabaton song to hear next I think I’ll absolutely react to this soon!
Very sad song but one that needs to be heard. Sabaton has taught me allot
I had the honor of visiting Dachau. We were the first group in morning. So few people in the camp so we had a lot of open space. I saw the place with branches permanently bent. They shot people in the back of the head there. Then the firing squad field. The guard towers. I never felt so packed and watched in an open area. The gas chamber wall was rough unsmooth. I felt suffocation there. Just packed among the souls. The thousands of souls of the fallen are there. It's a place of utter disparity. I still think if anyone gets the chance, take it. You'll feel something so powerful and somber that nothing can match that kind of evil that also resides in the trees, the buildings, just everything.
This video is a reminder to not forget history, and yet here we are cheering on to lock people out of society.
It is a heavy song for sure.
Its a majorly Important one though. I really hope more people get to see it!
Music invokes feelings, sometimes happy and sometimes genuinely sad. Especially when the song is covering a topic like this one. Feeling distraught after hearing this song only proves that you are a good person. Imagine leaving this with a smile on your face.. No, it's a heavy subject, but if we do not continue to expose the ugly truths of history we run the risk of them disappearing in time, and we can't allow that to happen.
Sabaton absolutely needs to be heard by more people. They share important history lessons that need to be shared. F this song is probably the most mature song I’ve heard if the subject and I think it will really be if it people to hear it.
Unfortunately for me how I sometimes express saddness is by smiling, gets awkward at times haha.
I once listened to The Finale Solution while watching the pictures (in black and white) of Sabaton's visit to Auschwitz ... HOLY ... DUCKFUCK! Let's just day my home was invaded by onion-cutting ninjas! THAT was powerful!
Those damn onion cutting ninjas. I know them well!
As hard as this song is to listen to, if you happen to go back and listen to it again, you will noticed they added in one very brilliant touch.. throughout the song, they use guitar riffs and drums to replicate the sounds of a moving train. Its most noticeable in the background during "Enter the gates, Auschwitz Awaits".
As much as I don’t want to hear it again I’ll absolutely give that a look out and I’ll re watch it now!
This and the "why we fight" episode of band of brothers
It's good that they both had the balls.to cover such a hard subject though it is a bit of an emotional gut punch
I heard that they dont perform it live either which I think is a pretty good call
Another amazing reaction and almost to 2k subs
Very proud of the growth in such a short time
Thank you for the kind words!. I really appreciate your support through this entire time! Im honestly trying my best to figure out ways to Improve the content. So far Ive made the vid quality a little better and tried to improve upon the thumbnails. Ill probably be posting some more original music based content soon Just to add a bit of variety. haha Sorry for the long ass paragraph. I know you didnt really ask so my bad hahaha
@@JoJoLewis I actually appreciate the comments bro
I notice that reactors when reacting to certain bands will gain subs from the bands or genres that follow
Your reactions are legit and it's 1 thing many reactors change as they blow up
They wanna hear what they react to pre reaction and it shows
Hopping that you keep em original
There I seen your paragraph and gave ya 1 of my own lol
Good Reaction. Hard topic. Sabaton doesn't back away from the horrors of the past.
Thank you for the kind words!
Im from Poland, wright here this shit had happend, I want to cry, every time I hear that song. Sabaton - Uprising, the second one emocional song from Sabaton tell us about uprising in Warsaw. Thx
Ohh Ill absolutely add that to the list!
I'm not sure if it was in the Sabaton History or who said it, but remembering horrible events in the past is only the first part, it is just as - if not even more - important to remember how it came to this, the decisions and attitudes that lead to them. I agree with that.
That is honestly such a true statement. I do believe it is more important to know how history happened so that we can spot when it is repeating.
to me the instruments fading at the end to just vocals has always conveyed the death of hope since most of their songs are celebratory in nature the removal of the music makes the final chorus sound that much darker and the last fade out is that single scared voice being lost in the darkness forever
and now I need to go listen to something upbeat
sabaton: swedish pagans - the perennial sabaton party song and Joakim's hatred of it is mostly an act
babymetal: oh majinai - Joakim growling plus babymetal's energy ends up with the ultimate pirate song
the Hu: wolf totem - just because they sound like nothing else
I also need something upbeat to hear. I think I’ll react to baby metal later this week!
This song is one that you just kinda...just sits and takes in. Its a dark thing to listen to, when you know its context.
On a school trip many many many years ago, I went to see the camp in Prague. I hated being there becouse the feelings were so intense. So treated it like a boring playground, but I just stuck by my teachers and did the tour and left.
I then later found out that, the one in Prague was considered a luxusury, compared to other camps.
I have seen them on Google Maps and still the intense energy of those places, flows thru the screen. Im not sure I wanna visit those places, but its a part of history that cant be forgotten.
Have a good day.
I cant Imagine what It would have been like actually visiting. That must have been so Intense.
@@JoJoLewis As someone whos sensitive to energys, I can assure you, that walking into a place like that, was a nightmare.
The feeling I got when I stepped thru those gates , has haunted me ever since. I wouldet dare to go visit the big places.
Have a good day.
I feel your same sadness (everytime I listen to this song)
It’s so sad to hear honestly but it’s important for people to hear and I’m glad I got to hear it.
If nobody pulls the brake this sh... will repeat (explicitly from east-germany) It's at it's beginning again...
The final solution Sabaton you're watching the animated version. You should try Schindler's List Final Solution Sabaton!
The Price of a Mile, Angels Calling, The End of the War to End all Wars, Cliff of Gallipoli, En Livstid I Krig, The Hammer Has Fallen, Inmate 4859 for me are the ones most "heaviest" songs from Sabaton. But this one, exactly this one, is the first place...
The constant guitar strumming in the background represents the train
I visited Auschwitz for a high school trip... and I can tell you, not one of us 68 teens left with dry eyes. Sometimes the only way to see the best in humanity, is to see our worst. It was a great trip, even thou we visted a true place of evil, It was very insightful. I do recomend going if you get a chance.
If you check live version of this song it hits even harder. They put special flames on scene and do this song using acoustic guitars and boxes instead of drums.
One little musical detail: the bass is actually played to sound like a train on the move, and right at the end of the pre-chorus, the ride cymbal sound like the bell used to annouce the arrival of a train.
one of their best songs after 40:1
I’m really trying to find a good live performance if 40:1 to react to but I’m having trouble
@@JoJoLewis ua-cam.com/video/vByWIiFDerE/v-deo.html this is the best one
You should check out Sabaton History's video on Leslie Allen called Ballad Of Bull. An Australian WW2 hero.
You know I might just do that now!
It is hard, but this is one you should see live.
If you're looking to react to more Sabaton I'd recommend profusely, "Cliffs of Gallipoli"
It's a song about the battle of Gallipoli, where ANZAC forces tried to storm Turkey in an effort to break the stalemate WW1 had become, The battle has since been seen as a senseless waste of lives, yet there is no bitterness between Turkey and Australia as a result of it, the men on both sides were both seen as young boys that senselessly and needlessly lost their lives
To Quote Turkey's first president, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, speaking on the matter
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."
That will most Likely be the next reaction For Sabaton I do!
@@JoJoLewis glad to hear it dude! Just discovered your channel, always great to see someone discover Sabaton, delving into the rabbit hole
You’re certainly in for a wild ride
like the christmass truce lest we forget so we doint repeat history
Sabaton is the greatest history teacher of all time! I would have been more into history if I had them as teachers instead of the boring one I had in high-school. As a fellow swede I'm proud to have the same nationality as them.. if I'm lucky enough to attend one of their concerts I wouldn't have any problems speaking to them if I were got the chance. :-)
Btw.. I love your reactions, so sweet and genuine. Wish you all the best and hope more people comes to your channel. New subscriber here 👋
I really really appreciate that! It really means a lot I hope I can make more videos that entertain you!
the guitar sound is the sound of a train going over tracks
I live in Germany
though not a German
and on the 200 metre walk to the tram stop
by my house
I have to walk past three sets of Stolpersteine
(hand-crafted brass plaques in the ground
where victims of the Nazi regime last lived)
They are a powerful everyday reminder of the holocaust.
@jojo Lewis A suggestion from you being from Australia is Cliffs of Gallipoli, I visited your wonderful Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne last year!
Thats actually coming really soon! Also Thats where I am from!!! Every ANZAC Day I go to that same shrine.
It's interesting to me how people react differently to these songs. Some people get emotional and sad, while others i know, me included, feel mostly anger with this song.
dude violins Epica unleashed live
good reaction mate :) that song have a lot of feelings, sad feelings... sorry about what i said now, but lot of ppl talking about Polish concentration camp, Poland never had it, only Germany and USSR.
Fun fact : the beat in the background of the song is almost the exact same as the sound of a train but the trainlike noises stop after he says “auschwitz awaits”…. You can guess why
Jojo lewis: oh no.....
Me: oh yes, you gonna feel today.....
It hit me like a truck
Now we've started down the path of life transforming experiences from metal, a few (admittingly standard) recommendations would be
Jinjer - Pieces (live session) - for unique female vocals
Devin Townsend - Kingdom (EMG TV version) - for unique male vocals
Tool/Danny Carey - Pneuma (drum cam) - for the drummer often hailed as the octopus
I took your advice and Just reacted to Jinjer and WOW
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
now is time to...... THE RED BARON!, love that song or "The last stand" :D
I think I could shift around the List a little and get one of those to be done real soon!
If I remember correctly they don’t really ever perform this song live and if they do it’s just an acoustic version and they don’t animate themselves. They are very serious about their music and history. Great reactions man!
I am so glad you enjoyed the reaction! It is probably for the best that they rarely play this song honestly.
You should listen to The Last Battle they did.
Good stuff right there.
Ohh I don’t think I’ve heard that one yet. It sounds interesting I’ll have to put it as a priority listen
I really recommend “inmate 4859” by sabaton, an unbelievable story about Witold Pilecki!
Ohhhh I’ve not had that recommended yet! I’ll add it to the list for sure! Thank you!
@@JoJoLewis sweet! Its a crazy story i’d never heard off if it wasn’t for sabaton! And I love watching your journey through all the amazing stories sabaton have to offer!
Also love how you are showing the true feelings these songs brings!
Keep up the great work, I’m all here for it! 😍
@@JoJoLewis That one is really great in a different way than most Sabaton songs. I would say the real epicness lies in the history with that one. One of the few where the Sabaton history video is actually better than the music itself.. It should be considered a crime that the major film studios have not made at least a dozen movies about that guy. It's a truly great, and f:ed up, story..
I loved learning that! Imagine going to Auschwitz willingly in order to find out what it was exactly, then escape. It must have been heart breaking for Witold to tell the Polish what he learned, and then have his requests for a rescue/assault on Auschwitz be denied simply because they didn't have enough people.
The Pilecki report is able for everyone to read too
Nice touch how at some points the drums and guitar sound like the chugging of a train
I honestly didnt even notice that at the time but that is actually such attention to detail. That Is why I love this Band!
I'm still searching your channel daily looking for your reaction to Jinjer Pisces live session because you said it was coming. I'll look again tomorrow
It’s actually 2 days away! We got our usual Epica reaction then we got Jinjer-Piscies!
@@JoJoLewis tease
Wanna cry more?
Alter Bridge - Blackbird
That one always gets me.
Check up on some background and pick the studio version
Sounds good to me! I’ll absolutely add it to the list! Thank you!!!
I can't remember where I read it, think it was the official lyric video. But anyways, someone had pointed at certain points in the song the guitar sounds like the wheels of a steam engine chugging along. It's really fucking erie to think about that.
Some cool Battle between the bands (Sabaton style)
Sabaton - 82nd all the way
Amaranthe - 82nd all the way
Sabaton - Carolus Rex
Follow the Cipher - Carolus Rex
Manowar - Kingdom Come
Sabaton - Kingdom Come
Amon Amarth - Twighlight of the thundergod
Sabaton - Twighlight of the tundergod
Thank you so much! I will absolutely add these to the list! I really appreciate it!
You can always tell when someone has actually studied this before, the difference is very noticeable and as one who also walked that museum (or one like it) i agree, not a daily listener but definitely one more people should know; if you'll excuse me, I need to go refill my kleenex box
I’ve listened to this a few times and I can’t help but cut some onions every time I hear it. It hurts so much that I know so much about this.
The worst thing is.. the Final Solution is the outcome of a prize question.. send in by a man who got the idea FROM HIS DAUGHTER
i can recommend swedish pagens, price of a mile, long live the king. all by sabaton
Price of a mile is actually coming really really soon! Your other suggestions I haven’t added to the list I will now though!
@@JoJoLewis nice
This is only the 2nd Sabaton song I've heard, the other being Christmas Truce. I'm getting the impression one doesn't listen Sabaton to feel good and uplifted. Don't get me wrong musically I'm liking it, but damn their subject matter is hard. Bloody hell.
@Ian Wood. Not all of Sabaton’s songs are about difficult subjects, but I applaud them for caring enough to bring notice to difficult subjects in a very respectful manner. He’s done other Sabaton songs that are the opposite of these sad, depressed songs. So much so, one can only feel pumped and ready to take on the world or being proud to be Russian when you’re actually an American! If you like, I can recommend some really fun and “uplifting” songs…and there are lots of them!
Quite a few of there songs have a heavy subject they talk about, but alot of the songs are uplifting and bring pride and patriotism out. (To me at least) such as Ghost Division, 40 to 1, Coat of Arms, and 82nd all the way to name a few are songs that pump me up.
But thats why they are my favorite band, they bring so many emotions out from music, make you feel pride for countries your not from, and teach history in an interesting way.
I’d suggest Carolus Rex it’s really headband and hype
Thanks for the replies. Since they've been around a while any suggestions on what would be a good album to start with to ease me in? Not expecting JoJo to have much here since it's as new to you as it is to me.
@@WoodyNWUK Sabaton has a video on their channel where they have all their songs from their album "Art of War"
You must check sabaton inmate 4859 and history of this man
I’ll check it out!! Thank you for the suggestion.
You need to listen to Lacuna Coil and Battle Beast, incredible bands with amazing singers 🖤🤘🏻
What songs would you suggest from them?
@@JoJoLewis Beyond the burning skies by Battle Beast and Veneficium by Lacuna Coil, hope you like it 🖤
0:57 WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY CONCENTRATION! 💀
As A Jew and a sabaton fan, I love this song for them bring this to others attention
Great reaction, mate!) Wanna mix this something different for ya to react to: The Quemists - Run You (Official MV)) The Quemists are Drum'nBass band from UK and I'm pretty shure you'll like their music))
Thanks for the kind words man!!! I’ve written them into the list and hopefully in the coming days we get through enough videos to do them really really soon!
@@JoJoLewis don't firget about EC/Ghostkid list I've made earlier) There are plenty of good stuff in here))
On January 20th, 1942, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich Security Head Office held the Wannsee Conference which was attended by the head of the Gestapo (German secret police) Heinrich Müller, Adolf Eichman and 12 other SS and party leaders. Together they planned the "Final solution to the Jewish question in Europe". The plan was to "evacuate" the Jews to the east.
Heydrich during the conference:
"In the course of the practical execution of the Final Solution, Europe will be combed through from west to east. Germany proper, including the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, will have to be handled first due to the housing problem and additional social and political necessities."
"The evacuated Jews will first be sent, group by group, to so-called transit ghettos, from which they will be transported to the East"
The final solution would encompass the ~11 million Jews living in territories controlled by Germany and elsewhere in Europe, including Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Turkey, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, and Hungary, dependent on "military developments"
Also, to the song itself: I don't think you noticed it, but the guitar riff resembles the sound of a train driving at high speeds. Train was the main way of transportation Jews to concentration camps in cattle wagons.
To quote Indy Neidell 'On that day the 20th of January, 1942, is probably one of the darkest days in human history!'
Thank you so much! Even though I studied history I didn’t know this specifics. Also no I didn’t notice so thank you so much for pointing it out!
May i recommend The Hammer has Fallen? You will shed tears
Ill check it out for sure!
Told you it would hit different but its still one of their best songs
Hit like a truck
@@JoJoLewis And it reversed
They are not playing this live anymore
Its intresting that people still call sabaton a "na*I" band and that the people it are active nass*is I as a swede got told that even by teachers when growing up , last time a teacher told me that, that I can remember was like 2018 2019
I would 100% recommend you check out the History channel that sabaton has here on UA-cam
Ill have a look asap!
If you want som difrent metal(you need some happy song after this one) you should try to react to Feuerschwanz song Ding ( is som cover of a club song) they are ohmm virking/folke metal band ,
Or GLORYHAMMER with Gloryhammer ,is a powermetal band that realy brings the Cheese.
Ohhh power metal. That sounds pretty cool I’ll have to react to the bands that do that genre
Oh you should give them a liste then, hootsforce is a good one as well, tho alot of great songs just not so Many with a video sadly.
Thanks for a good reacting btw and keep working on that headbanging you realy got the hair for it😁🤘🤘
delain masters of destiny is good or you can watch marco sing with them on the gathering and nothing left
@0:59 odd choice of words 😂😂 jk. Dark humor because I’m not good at emotions particularly in regards to the Shoah
Oh. I was gonna edit in a small part to the not so fun history comment I usually do. But It's gone. Ok then. Thanks UA-cam.
Oh shit that sucks. I’m always excited to read your comments
Idź ty chooy z ta reakcja
Chłop stopuje w najlepszych momentach przed refrenem przed epickim rifem gitarowym
Iż ty w Chooy
I want to say “great reaction” but those words don’t really feel appropriate. With in the first second of the song you knew what it was going to be, and the emotions were clear on your face. I think you reacted to this song and subject with a high level of respect while still giving your thoughts on the song itself and its technical ability to invoke emotions. It is tough to really talk or comment when the weight of all those emotions is on you.
As somebody who has been listening to Sabaton for many years, I feel like most people who are aware of them assume that they are that one military/war history metal group. While there is some truth to that claim, a lot their songs deal with and focus on the tragedy and cruelty of war. Many of their best songs are of moments when despite the bloodshed and mass death, a moment of humanity can shine through. “The Final Solution” as a Sabaton song always sticks out for me as it feels so bleak and depressing. There is no light or ray of hope, it is just death and slaughter and pain and suffering.
I recommend you having a listen to a song from their “Heroes” album titled “Inmate 4859”. It is about Polish officer Witold Pilecki who infiltrated Auschwitz to gather evidence of the holocaust to show the world.
I think the word you're looking for to describe his reaction was "sobering"
I really appreciate that. Honestly I take that as a massive compliment thank you so much! Ill absolutely take a look at your suggestion. Thank you again!!!
And to think this exact same thing is happening again, this time to the Uighurs in Turkestan
Really? Thats honestly heartbreaking. I had no Idea ill have to look into it more
