Sabaton

[MrKnickerbocker]

Spoiler

That being said, the set needs more songs from Coat of Arms.

It needs more songs period.

Sabaton was amazing! I wish they'd play a longer set, but everything we got last night was spectacular. There was a huge crowd there for Sabaton, at least as many as for IE.

All 3 bands were incredible. One of the best lineups I've ever seen. I even got to meet Floor and Revamp after the gig and bought a Carolus Rex shirt!

EDIT: Almost forgot, they started playing "YMCA" for some silly reason. Joakim also jokingly told the crowd that this wouldn't be one of those shows where "people shout every song they want to hear and the band plays it". Guess we'll have to wait for the headlining tour!

Another video for the new album, in which Joakim seems tired and the video editors misspell "strength".

I can't keep a straight face watching Sabaton interviews. Wow - imagine if they wrote songs about economic history rather than military?
I can see a crowd singing along to 'The Wall St Crash'.

 

[Perun]

In our world of business it's live or let kill
Wealth of the nations are in for the thrill
Economy breakdown and no-one knows why
1929 in October we die!

A lengthy interview that I can't be bothered to watch right now.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

A very brief live clip that won't be a bother at all.

 

[Forostar]

Watching the interview.

"epical album" :--)

 

[Perun]

This is just in:

In their FB post, they explicitly speak of the "first" tour dates for the Heroes Tour.

 

[Brigantium]

I wonder if there's any chance of a UK date or two...to be announced after Download?

 

[Perun]

These are all late in the year (stupid American date system), so who knows?

 

[Forostar]

You can hear every interview in Sabaton but you can't hear Sabaton in every interview.

Three vids from tonight's Pennsylvania gig:

I can literally feel the energy through my computer screen.

 

[Perun]

We! We will resist and bite!
Bite hard! Cause we are all in sight!

Fuck yeah!

 

[Ariana]

I think "In despite of our foe" will become my favourite Sabaton lyric. There's even Latin! Fully satisfied.

 

[Perun]

That had better be completely botched Latin.

 

[Perun]

Oh, and note he pronounces the "h" in "honoured".

 

[Brigantium]

I'll be hhonoured to own this album.

 

[Forostar]

Kick ass. Very catchy. I demand that this song will be played when we see them.

That song feels kinda odd to me. I like the chorus, as noted it's very catchy... but the verses, they start rhyming and it feels like it's going to keep going, then it just doesn't and it throws me off! The music is good, and naturally the traditional random Latin thrown just gives it extra awesomeness. Going to take a few listens I think to get used to it.
