T(h)anks for this Tank! Glad you like the video! :)

During an interview they asked if it was true that sabaton actually had a tank?
“No.......................... we have two”

“You’re gonna hate me. I’m gonna go back and see this whole ending again.”
Hate you? Dude, I am you right now.

- Are we getting Sabaton ballad?
Me already with tears in eyes: Yes, yes we are!

Crying to Sabaton is a right of passage for Sabaton fans.

Fun Fact in Denmark their pyro was the biggest ever seen in that venue..... Even though Ramstein just played it 1 month earlier

This was such an epic moment. I was there, at scandinavium, and it was such an emotional song. They had hyped us up for Sabaton all night, with Amaranthe and Apocalyptica displaying amazing performances, and then finally, Sabaton comes with this. They told us to turn on our flashlights on the phones,  which is all of the lights you see,  and it was so impactful. Many people around me had a hard time singing along because they were too busy crying.

For this album Carolus Rex, because it's a Swedish band singing about Swedish history, the entire album was released in both English and Swedish. I had always thought this song was a direct translation for both versions, but I was wrong. The lyrics are completely different in both languages.

Sabaton have their own open air festival, in their hometown, you should come over and rock out with us here in Sweden!

As a Swede.. i cry my eyes our fot this.... Im a Swede and soldier.

Anything off the Carolus Rex album is amazing, but this performance was phenomenal.

My son are doing his military service right now, and the week before this weekend, they did their beret test, two days of marches (somewhere around 50-60 kilometres) with full gear, and with diverse checkpoints with strecher carrying "wounded". Up camp, down camp within hours, shooting tests, no food, wet uniform (the winter here got from arctic to rain an gales this week).
But those who finished had a ceremony. In front of a large bonfire they were presented with their berets, and after performing soldaterindran (trans. soldiers oath), they sang the national anthem.
And here comes the story: some guy played En livstid i krig and Carolus Rex afterwords, and the commander thought it was so good, that he intended to do this here after.

dude, if ya want a good Sabaton ballad, listen to ballad of the bull. damn, cried my eyes out. Sabaton, teaching men to cry since 1999

This performance was recorded on Februari 14th. The day before there was an ice-hockey match on the same place where that crowd is. The entire stadium had to be rebuild from an ice floor to a floor holding 14.000 people and a prop tank, in under a day. Unreal to see and feel the vibe on both days.

The Scandinavium has to be the most badass name for a venue ever XD

Watching this blows my mind ! Sabaton came to my local city here in rural England.... very small venue with only a capacity of a few hundred. No props or extra production, just music and it was still incredible !!! There guys are awesome !!!

If you want more of this ballad-like Sabaton I'd recommend "The ballad of Bull", a literal metal ballad about Leslie "Bull" Allen and the day he saved 12 fellow soldiers' lives.

As powerful as Sabaton is, that crowd is the centerpiece of that EPIC song.
I couldn't even read the subtitles, and I'm crying.
Sabaton is laying a 12,000 seat 'concrete-box' arena in Portland in 2021, and now I'm thinking of busting my concert budget and adding a couple nosebleed Sabaton tickets.
... how long does it take to learn Swedish? ...

The first time I saw Sabaton was at a small dive bar/club in Arizona and there were maybe 50 people there. The 2nd time i saw them, same type of venue, but i got backstage tickets for 40 bucks and met the entire band. There were about 150 people at that show. Mind blowing.

When you said we might hate you for rewinding mid song, dude, it's your video. Do whatever makes you happy. It reminded me of a time I was listening to Eddie Trunk on his radio show. He was taking requests, and Maiden fans were constantly asking for their 13+ minute epic Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Eddie went on to say that 13 minute songs are never played on radio, but then stated, "You know what? This is my show! I can do whatever I want!" So, he played Rime.
