Sabaton

[Travis The Dragon]

I'll definitely have to give the new NW a try. And damn, I guess Iced Earth doesn't have as big of a following here. This country sucks for metal!

Not shocking, but sad. I don't understand that website, at all, though...

I was at that show. It certainly didn't seem like there were 262 people there. I thought there was at least 500.

A great video for one of the greatest songs on the album. I have to say that Far From the Fame is a little bit better.

Fun interview with Joakim in which he discusses his penis, stupid reporters, and disliking the Israeli juice...

OMG! Sabaton has a North American tour starting in less than 10 days! I can't believe no one posted the dates here. http://www.smnnews.com/2014/09/17/s...d-continues-shredding-across-usca/#more-83126

I think it was discussed, then probably buried under a deluge of spam.

Such are "Are Sabaton fascists?" and discussions about what bands we can hear in Sabaton.

The answers are "no" and many.

Although it makes absolutely ZERO sense, I've always heard the lyric as: "From the depths of Ellis Island..."

 

[Brigantium]

Now I'm always going to hear that.

I wish they'd do a few more proper vids, they have so much potential.

SABATON announced as special guest for Nightwish's 2015 NA tour!



I'm so pumped. Sabaton just keeps touring with really great bands with hardcore followings here in the States. Three direct support slots in one year, for increasingly more successful artists...I smell a 2016 U.S. headlining tour!

 

[LooseCannon]

Well, I am 100% going now. I was thinking of it before, even thought QC is a 5 hour drive.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I need to see if my friend Mark from Wisconsin would be up for a road trip to Chicago.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Do it! You should meet up with @Detective Beauregard, once I convince him to go to the show.

 

[SomewhereInTime84]

Glad Sabaton got added to the Nightwish tour, will be looking forward to seeing them again!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Hm, Nightwish and Sabaton? Sort of a weird metal tour package.

 

[Forostar]

Perhaps when you focus on the vocals and lyrics. But musically, not in the slightest. Sabaton's music sounds quite a bit like Nightwish's (older stuff).
