Sabaton

Oh, I see what you mean now. The fade-in in the beginning and the fade-out in the end sound very fitting to me and if you read about the way the Night Witches worked, you may see the point too.

 

[Forostar]

I understand that sound and it indeed explains the contrast with that other part. Still, I really don't like that kind of music. I keep my fingers crossed that this stuff won't happen too often on the rest of the album.

 

[Ariana]

It's okay if you don't like it.

I should know what that damn solo in Hearts of Iron is but I can't think of the name >.<

 

[Forostar]

My four favourite Heroes songs (a group that I clearly enjoy more than the rest of the album), in album order:

No Bullets Fly
To Hell and Back
Resist and Bite
Far from the Fame


Also kudos for Out of Control. Far far far from sounding original material (and I know it's a cover!) but I really like these couplets. The calm vocals, the constant guitars contrasting with the changing keyboard chords.

Agreed! A very good choice for a cover. I enjoy En Hjaltes Vag as well, though I have no idea what they're saying. For Whom the Bell Tolls is not too different, but I appreciate the additional heaviness and it's cool to hear Sab's take on it.

And a couple of days down the line, No Bullets Fly has now grown on me a lot.

 

[Forostar]

That could be my favourite. Very cool song.

 

[LooseCannon]

I really lean towards it as my favourite from the album currently. A very good story, too.

 

[Mosh]

Heard the new album last night. Really good, very few weak tracks. I felt like it got a lot better toward the end too. Will definitely be giving it more listens!

 

[Ariana]

How come the official video has not been posted here?

 

[Perun]

There's an official video?

 

[Perun]

Wow, that was surprisingly dark and... actually pretty good.

 

[Brigantium]

I spotted that yesterday and wondered if I'd missed it on here. Not bad at all.

 

[LooseCannon]

Yeah, not too bad. I think that was footage from one of Audie Murphy's movies.

I wish they were headlining, as I don't particularly care for Amon Amarth, but 3 Sabaton shows in the same year is pretty awesome for an American. I'll get to hear Night Witches live! The last date of the tour is in Tucson at a venue that is less than 2 miles from my apartment.

Give me three recommendations of great songs by them, @Perun (not including Twilight of the Thunder God). I'll give 'em another chance. I know that they always scream/growl, but as a way of easing into the band, I would appreciate choices with a maximum amount of melody and a minimal amount of blast beats.

It doesn't get any more melodic than this.

Knickerbicker, I'm so envious I'm blending in with the lawn out the back.
