Simple solution... there is a live version of Sabaton and Amaranthe performing 82nd all the way together. Everyone wins! :-)
That exists
Yep! In Oslo, February 2020. I was there!🤘😄 Awesome show!
@@18joshuab98 ua-cam.com/video/kifNJGqn6zE/v-deo.html
Thanks for this
@@18joshuab98 no problem, sadly its just a phone vid but still really nice
Just a quick bonus fact. Amaranthe did this cover as they prepared to go on tour with Sabaton. That's why you can see Joakims jacket, and some Sabaton gear around in the vid.
Amaranthe is swedish band and have been beforeband before sabaton plays alot in swedish concerts, so they know eachother really well.
@@FuzioNda1337 Yes, I know. I'm a Swede too. :P
Powerwolf vs Amaranthe - Army of the night
totally agree that's an awesome cover
ah, powerwolf murders them on that one tho. the amaranthe version is good, but the powerwolf version is a straight up killer
Didn't know there was an Amaranthe cover for that song - it's great! 🙌 We'll definitely have Powerwolf featured on one of our longer reviews in the late summer or Fall (picking the three songs to play will be tough...) ✝️🐺
@@MetalAcademix There was actually a short but sweet album of POWERWOLF covers by famous Metal peers released about a year ago, all in good fun, endorsed by the band. The "contestants" include EPICA, ELUVEITIE, SALTATIO MORTIS etc., so you can figure it would be a great listen. Although the originals are always going to be hard to beat - almost unfair. :))
@@bigg2988 Ah, I knew of that album but didn't know Amaranthe was on it - they've flown completely under my radar. I like the Battle Beast cover on that one, but I'm biased because I love the ridiculousness of that song (and Battle Beast :) -Michael
At that time, 82nd was infanry division and during ww2 was transformed into airbone paratroopers (AA in logo of 82nd stands for all american).
Absolutely correct, when I heard them say it I thought there's only a limited number of paratroopers you can have hold on to the wing struts of your biplane. ;)
@@TallDude73 Funfact: There was a italian parachute unit in WWI :)
Yup, you're right - my mistake! I think both the AA and the fact it's now an airborne division through me off. Thanks for correcting! -Michael
I posted this also. Great job
"'Death From Above,' what they NOW say."
Clever way the writer threaded the needle and avoided the anachronism.
(BTW, York was in the 328th, not 338th. Not sure how that mistake never got corrected.)
‘York I heard you captured the whole German Army!’
‘No Sir, only 132’
you can tell Amaranthe had fun making this video
Sabaton - Rammstein : Feuer Frei
Sabaton - Twister Sister : Burn in Hell
Sabaton - Metallica : From Whom the bell tolls
Sabaton - Amon Amarth : Twilight of the thunder god
Sabaton - Manowar : Kingdom Come
That Metalica cover is really good \m/
And of course, as vocalist of Sabaton said, nobody can cover MANOWAR. Only pay tribute to.
Saving this list
Sabaton - Judas Priest all guns blazing
When I heard Sabaton's Twilight of the thunder god, I loved it, and because of it, heard the original, and only then, started to hear metal bands with growls :)
Still getting used to it, It has been a slow grower for me, but I'm sure many more cool songs will cross my path because of that cover \m/
I have a proposal sabaton vs manowar "kingdom come"
Cheets and greedings from Bavaria
Ooh that's a good one. Love both but think sabaton edges it for me.
YESSSS
Possible duel idea: YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon - Diggy diggy hole (original) vs WIND ROSE - Diggy Diggy Hole (metal cover)
Wind Rose wins right away.
Nah man yogscast and wind are the same level, I met wind rose and they are fire but the comedy of the yogs are just a rivaling power
Sabatons version is especially iconic because of Joakims iconic voice. While the cover is good, it sounds like most other metal bands, it lacks what makes the original awesome.
Joakim doesn't need to shout or growl and he doesn't need computer effects to sound amazing. On a concert I'd rather listen to Sabaton because of the unique power and style of Sabaton.
I don't dislike the cover but it's just not enough :D
I agree with you. Covers will nearly always be one step behind the original songs. But i'd like yo make a comment :)
I attended the Sabaton show in Madrid Last February. Amaranthe played too that night, and I have to admit Amaranthe sounded AWESOME live, even though there was no sound edition, since they are not inn the studio hahaha. I thought they would disappoint me, but I left the venue very satisfied with all bands (Apocalyptica played aswell and they played Angels Calling with Sabaton :D)
Greets :)
The 3 lead singers from Amaranthe are a bit unique too
Man I just wish at least once I could attend their concerts...
Couldn’t have said it better.
I just hope "most other metal bands" sounds at least 10% as great as Amaranthe
I love both versions, but I have to give my vote Sabaton. Amaranthe did an amazing job, but what I feel they don't do very well in their cover is telling the story that 82nd All the Way is about. It just felt like a cover.
Exactly Dude!!!!
"it just felt like a cover"
me: thats because, it is a cover
I absolutely love both versions but the Sabaton version is the winner.
After hearing Amaranthe's cover I am of the opinion that Sabaton should consider finding a female background artist or something. Her voice during the chorus was amazing! The only thing I liked about the cover better than Sabaton's. Just my opinion of course.
Why not use the voice of the wife of a certain drummer... eh?
@@HybridHenderson Floor Jansen you mean.
She sung in "The Future of Warfare Soundtrack version" instead of Joakim taking on the main vocals.
Hannes van Dahl is the drummer
@@AlexGNR im aware, im just hinting.
Her voice nice tho.
What a lucky bastard he is.
@@AlexGNR Floor would sing Joakim off the stage. 🤣
I Highly recommend Powerwolf (German power metal band) vs Epica (Dutch symphonic metal band) on the song -- Sacred and Wild (original by powerwolf)
Both version are so epic but in their own way you will love it!
Powerwolf had on their album The Sacrament of Sin a second disc named Communio Lupatum, which features Powerwolf songs covered by other artists selected by the band members, Sacred and Wild by Epica was one such song.
Good idea, thank you!! - Anamaria
Just semantics, but the 82nd wasn't the "82nd airborne" during WWI, since paratrooper combat hadn't been invented until the second world war.
More than semantics. York's unit wasn't the 82nd at the time at all, but rather the 328 (not 338, as song says) Regiment. It was many years transformed into an airborne unit.
"'Death From Above,' what they NOW say." -- Clever way the writer threaded the needle and avoided the anachronism, yet link the heroic legacy.
Sabaton covered " From whom the bell tolls" from Metallica
Minniva actually worked with Sabaton to get a cover of the Red Baron out the same day Sabaton released the song.
If I may, mainly because I like the idea of discussion, I would propose:
Sound of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel vs Disturbed.
GabrielArchon Good lord. The Disturbed version is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. That’s a curb stomping if I ever saw one.
you should give Disturbed's version a better contender: Henk Poort (doing it in disturbed's style)
Pink Floyd vs Nightwish - High Hopes
Would love to see that battle!
YES! Both are AMAZING of course! :)
Bad Joke .... I love Nightwish but Pink Floyd clearly rules here
Nightwish are lovely but the original is flipping incredible
Possible duels/battles:
Helloween vs Rhapsody - Guardians
Helloween vs Dark Moor - Halloween
Helloween vs Luca Turilli - I'm Alive
Helloween vs Luca Turilli Rhapsody (Twilight Force vocalist) - March of Time
Judas Priest vs Gamma Ray - Victim of Changes
Warlord vs Hammerfall - Child of the Damned
Hammerfall vs Stormwitch - Ravenlord
I'm back to listen again. Interesting note, Ameranthe was the opening band on Sabaton's 2020 tour, and the record label asked Ameranthe to do the cover.. I personally like the growling voice and I think Ameranthe gives it more punch. Though I've been a huge Sabaton fan for years, I have to give this Ameranthe. Also, when there is only one video, maybe level the field and only listen to both songs without the one video. I love the battle idea! Original
Manowar vs Sabaton on "Kingdom come" would be fun to see
I love this song so much. Sabaton did such a great job with it! I am from Tennessee & we absolutely love Alvin York.
Also, the actual video to this is better!
They said Alvin captured the entire German army & he said “only 132” 🤣 that’s still a lot for him!
Sabaton and Apocalyptica - Fields of verdun😊
You can try « Twilight of the Thunder God » : Amon Amarth vs Rage of Light
Sabaton has their own version as well...so a triple battle?
That would be a nuclear blast of a battle! We will look at the availability of videos for all three versions. - Anamaria
This battle is up on our channel! ua-cam.com/video/3BqW_Te_oaQ/v-deo.html Check it out and let us know what you think (and thank you for the recommendation) - Anamaria
@@deltasupreme9139 That triple battle is ON: ua-cam.com/video/3BqW_Te_oaQ/v-deo.html What do you think, who's your winner?
Not exactly metal, but Led Zeppelin vs Heart, "Battle of Evermore".
Oh, and just for the fun of it, Beach Boys vs Blind Guardian, "Surfing USA".
Lissen to them doing this song together in live in Oslo (norway) and then make up your mind. Both of them are doing a realy great job but sabaton Will alway be sabaton my heart vill go with them.👍🤘🤘
i realy enjoy what your doing, thanks Metal Academix!
Thank you so much for your support! Feel free to suggest bands to feature in the future, both for battles and for reviews! - Anamaria
You can't dock Amaranthe for the growling. It's one of their defining features. Their niche is having those three vocals, (female clean, male clean, and male harsh) work together in all their songs.
The Bangles vs Oratory - Eternal Flame
Uriah Heep vs Gamma Ray - Return to Fantasy
Pet Shop Boys vs Gamma Ray - It's A Sin
Judas Priest vs Stratovarius - Bloodstone
Sabaton wins! Baritone screaming is rare and beautiful!
If you can't decide You can always have the sing together like on the tour in Norway. :) I saw them i Gothenburg myself and both band are excellent even though Sabaton have made my life alot better with great music and history lessons combined..
Uhhhhh NO doubt Sabaton won that. My son took me last Oct. THE BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!! None of their songs are bad. I want to give you a list but I'd be on here all night lol, but for sure Carolus Rex and the video of Bismarck.
Haha, Sabaton are awesome live! At least for this band, I think we know them all :) -Michael
Im a huge Sabaton and Amaranthe fan.... I think these two bands give off such a different vibe of the song.. I absolutely love both of the versions.. If I was forced to choose, I would choose Amaranthe..
Both versions are awesome, and Alvin York would be proud of you picking one! 😆 -Michael
Both songs/covers are awesome. No question about it. But for me (well I'm a huge Sabaton fan, but I also love Armaranthe), I find that Sabaton has that energy that Armaranthe doesn't have
The recorded lyrics for "82nd All the Way" mistakenly attribute Sergeant Alvin York to the 338th Regiment rather than his actual assignment to the 328th Infantry Regiment. The band corrected the mistake when they played the song live at Wacken Open Air 2019.
Dude. Your hair and beard are fucking epic. Masterful cultivation haha
Good barbers in Sweden! 🤣
I think having one video and then the album cover is totally fine. Or even 2 album covers to make things fair. I'm always a sucker for more obscure bands and those don't always have a video.
I've been lucky to see both bands together on tour this january. They were supposed to go on a big european tour which I suppose has been mostly canceled due to the pandemic. I actually like both bands more or less the same, but my vote goes to Amaranthe this time. I think they did a great job!
If you want to do a 3 song reaction of Amaranthe at some point, I'd suggest the following songs: Hunger, Stardust, The Nexus.
Thanks! That's really helpful to know - I think for the next few we'll be loosening up the video requirement, there's just too many good covers out there without them. I've been planning to give Amaranthe a closer listen after this video, so I'll definitely start with your suggestions. Cheers! -Michael
Sabaton version is better but i also love Amaranthe cover
You should see the live video when Sabaton does it together with Amaranthe. It's so good. Best of Sweden.🇸🇪 👌
I must say that both Sabaton and Amaranthe are good bands, love both bands sounds.
More:
Scorpions vs Iron Maiden - The Zoo
ABBA/Helloween/Avantasia - Lay All Your Love On Me
I like Amberian Dawn's version of Lay All Your Love On Me.
@@ChrisPage68 Woohoo! A battle that is big enough to require brackets! :)
Love the Einherjar hoodie at 9:58 ;) :D
Please, would love to see you do a three way battle of Iron Maiden, Machine Head and Cradle of Filth and "Hallowed be thy name".
One of my all time favorites - that's a great idea! -Michael
Recommend Sabaton’s animated story for “No Bullets Fly!”
Loved that you watched the history channel
Small correction. The 82nd Infantry was not an Airborne division during WWI.
They were touring together. There's a live version with them doing this together.
Both are awesome versions but they also did a live version with both bands together u should check it out
You guys should react to Sabaton The Seven Pillers of Wisdom.
You should do:
Primo Victoria ( Van Canto + Joakim Broden vs Sabaton)
Hells Bells ( Van Canto vs AC/DC)
Thanks! We've got Van Canto vs Grave Digger in a previous episode if you haven't seen it! -Michael
@@MetalAcademix literally watching it right now :)
Go Sabaton! 82nd All The Way! Death from Above! Stationed in Ft. Bragg, N.C. Home to Green Berets and Delta Force! Thanks for covering this song.
C-5/10 Infantry 1995, U.S. Army.
As a veteran of the 101'st Airborne Division, let me say that if they would have been blasting that, it would have made it more of a fun experience. Jumping from a C 130.
Amaranthe is Amaranthe and Sabaton is Sabaton! Love both!
Sabaton all the way, but i have to say that Amaranthe's version is pretty awesome! 🤘🤘
As a Swede I say cheers my friends out there🍺🤘
Check out Minniva and Anahata, they do amazing covers!!!
Please react to Sabaton vs Metallica " For Whom The Bell Tolls"
It's actually 328th, not 338th. Sabaton corrected this mistake during one of their live shows.
I thought I was the only one who ever spotted that! Thanks!
Two great versions, both bands have real banger versions of the song.
But I feel like Sabaton is actually telling the story while Amaranthe is more focused of making the lyrics sound great.
Another I thought of is Amon Amarth (original) vs Sabaton (cover) "Twilight of the Thunder God".
We just released this Battle: ua-cam.com/video/3BqW_Te_oaQ/v-deo.html! Thank you for your suggestion. So, who's your winner?
You should do a Battle of the Bands video with Sabaton's song "Attack of the Dead Men" against Radio Tapok's cover, which is entirely sang in Russian.
Whoa, sounds cool - will check that out, thanks! -Michael
@@MetalAcademix It's pretty great! You're welcome!
Here’s an idea:
Sabaton vs The Bombshell Belles
The Last Stand
It’s metal vs swing!
Sabaton VS Minniva: TO HELL AND BACK
WHO WENT TO HELL AND CAME BACK
Audie Murphy!🤘
@Metal Academix during WW1 the 82nd was an infantry division it had not yet been made into the 82nd airborne division it would not be until the U.S.A entered world war 2 would they be redesignated and trained into an airborne division along with at that time the creation of the 101st airborne division the 82nd has the AA patch and the 101 has the screaming eagle patch.
Sabaton - Radio Tapok - The Attack of the Dead Men
Sabaton - Radio Tapok - Panzerkampf
Sabaton - Radio Tapok - Attero Dominatus
Sabaton - Radio Tapok - Primo Victoria Sabaton - Radio Tapok - To Hell And Back
Both versions are great. It really is hard to choose because I have been an Amaranthe fan for longer. Going to give to the original, but if you have never listened to Amaranthe, they got some great music.
As for the growls, that is just part of their genre of Metalcore.
Both are very good but I liked Sabaton more. The reason is the song is about more than just the music. With Sabaton it is so compelling that I wanted to learn more about what they were singing about. Amaranthe had variety but more isn’t always better. I would never have looked into the story further if their version is what I heard first. It is more chaotic and I wouldn’t really want to listen to that version again. Sabaton I listen to on the daily. They are clear, heavy, and compelling.
You should try Twisted Sister "We're not gonna take it" versus Dee Snider's reinterpretation of the same song. Not really "Battle of the Bands" (because of... uh... Dee Snider) but definitely worth a video.
Losing My Religion-REM vs Lacuna Coil ! ! ! ! Or Enjoy the Silence-Depeche Mode vs Lacuna Coil ! ! !
I am a Huge Sabaton fan (favourite band) but the Amaranthe version is sooo good i think the contrast between the singers is good for the song.
Like you said- Both excellent! Very hard to choose... if I just listen to the music, probably go for Amaranth, but the video with the image's of the band Sabaton combine with the that typical sound- I vote Sabaton! 🤟
You should do a battle between Sabaton- "Defense of Moscow " and Кипелов band (Kipelov, from Aria) - song about Stalingrad- "Непокоренньй" (unconquerable) - two amazing tunes and also similar amazing videos and themes 🤟
This is my first time hearing Sabaton play this Im a huge fan of Amaranthe and knew it was a sabaton song but just never checked it out
That's the fun of the "battle" format, one gets to hear the richness in a song by listening to 2 very different takes! - Anamaria
Attack of the dead men Sabaton vs Russian cover don't know his real name
Radio Tapok is an author of the russian version. But he also was in the original for a bit
Radio Tapok has done a lot of great covers.
Both version are hella epic !!
Love the 2 different styles
Lyrically-Amaranthe
Overall-Sabaton
BOTH ARE AWESOME!
I don't know if you've done this one yet, but Dio vs Killswitch Engage for Holy Diver would be another good battle
That was our first one! Great minds think alike :) -Michael

Saw Sabaton in Oslo , Norway, in february. Amaranthe performed this live on Stage together with Sabaton. The scene presence and power both these bands have is truly unique. The video doesn't do the soundscape justice, but have a look. ua-cam.com/video/k2GGYvwwa9Q/v-deo.html - These bands have toured together and know each other well, if there are anyone that can cover Sabaton it's Amaranthe.
First time watching your videos and I like what I see.. if we keep going on Sabaton you can watch primo Victoria. And stiko-per larsson and his cover of it! He is a swedish sing a song writer and made an amazing cover of primo Victoria
I always prefer the live versions when it comes to Sabaton. One of the best live bands out there.
I said it when I saw Ameranthe play at Wembley for sabaton, they would sound so much better if the didn't have the third guy doing the scratchy screamo voice. The other two have really nice voices and their best songs are the ones with the least screamo
I agree 100%, but I guess some people like it? 🤷♂️ It's one of my beefs with Brothers of Metal and to a lesser extent the new album by Ancient Bards, even though I really like both bands. Just seems...unnecessary. -Michael
That has been Amaranthe's thing from forever, having three vocalists. And they are amazing. I don't see you bashing Sabaton for having TWO lead guitarists on top of their bassist...
@@jamescurfman3284 Mate I don't bash Sabaton for having two lead guitarists because both guitarists are good. My issue was not that they have three singers but that the screamo parts really detract from the songs. The screamo never really seems to add anything to the song and just interrupts otherwise decent songs.
Marilyn Manson - Radio Tapok - Sweet Dreams
I really like that Sabaton’s songs are historically accurate. They really do their research when they right a song about someone or historic event. I love both versions.
If it don't bother you, that it's in German: Die Ärzte - Schrei nach Liebe vs. Callejon - Schrei nach Liebe (Cover)
Or
Emil Bulls vs A-ha - Take On Me
The Beatles vs Realm - Eleanor Rigby
York's group had 6 men killed and three injured. He left the rest to guard the remaining prisoners. York charged the hill and was immediately challenged by six German soldier - all of which he killed. When he was up to the machine gun on the hill, the leader of the Germans surrendered and his men - all 132 men. They were marched back as prisoners to the American camp.
Dio v Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
Pink Floyd v Nightwish - High Hopes
Iron Maiden v After Forever - The Evil That Men Do
Gotcha covered on Holy Diver :)

@@MetalAcademix Didn't see that. 🤦
Haha no worries, great minds think alike! 😂
...the variousity of the three Amaranthe voices are killer, my absolute favourite 💪
the growls are very relevant!! its always been their thing....3 vocalists with one being a growler!! i find it very aggressive for a war song!!
ALvin York was actually assigned to the 82nd Infantry Division wich later was transformed to the 82nd Airborne Division. There was no Airborne in The Great War
If you're ok with album-covers, try Metallica vs Sabaton, "For whom the bell tolls" or Manowar vs Sabaton, "Kingdom come". Awesome original songs and great covers!
i love both versions...also i have both in my playlist ^^
I think it is far easier to make a good sounding cover of a song thats made to get in your head than really write the song yourself so i am 100% with sabaton
I love both versions, but for me Amaranthe takes the win just because their version is heavier, more of a headbanger, while the original is a bit "softer"
Powerwolf vs Savatage - Edge of Thorns. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the rec. We have done a 'battle' between Powerwolf and Epica that you might enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/DAFnV4wjO98/v-deo.html, but one where Epica does the covering, so to say. It would be interesting to see how Powerwolf would interpret Savatage, definitely. - Anamaria
Hi friends!!! Now there is a new chance.... well not by the very same song, but Sabaton released new music videos at exactly 8 pm 26 June ...2 different sonfs but at the same second! So please check out Sabatons new music video "Devil Dogs" ....and Amaranthe new called "Viral" ...they are both GREAT!!! sabatons music video almsot made me feel American!!! And Amaranthe lead me to long for there new album "Manifest" which will be released 2nd october allready now!!! I hope you like them ....and I am sure wou will as they are both amazing!!!
Devil Dogs is my favorite track from The Great War - didn't know there was a video coming out for it...thanks! 🤘 -Michael
I've never actually heard the original until now! Always thought Amaranthe's version was the original.
That made me sob ;-;
You kind of skimmed over the most interesting part of the story of Alvin York.
He nearly single-handedly captured a 132 men in a day.
Because of that event I have come to believe that Alvin York is the craziest, luckiest, and most blessed man to walk the earth.
It's an incredible slice of history, thanks for providing the extra details! I was just trying to keep it short...can't imagine what those guys went through. Alvin York all the way! 🙏🤘 -Michael
I'm already starting to research the spot where it happened, I hope to stand on top of hill 223 the next time I visit Europe.
