Sabaton

It is what it is.

You know.

HammerFall supporting Sabaton - that's gotta hurt them.

How and why?

I thought so, though according to the most recent Sabaton History, the Bismarck was always referred to as a male.

I’ve been researching this. Apparently the captain asked the crew to call Bismarck a “he” because of its “awesome power”. Ego-stroking, basically.

It's 2019. Ships should now be referred to as 'they' both collectively and individually until they have each decided on a gender.

The song is not out yet but Sabaton are already promoting a cover done by Apocalyptica. Interesting.

I think I'll wait on that one.

The video for 'Fields of Verdun' premieres on YouTube at 12:00 tomorrow. I'm not sure that time is my local time or Swedish time (CET).

Sabaton announced a NA tour. Tempted to go see them haven't listened to their stuff much but I have until October to get into them if I decide to go.

They're great fun live. I've seen them twice and will be seeing them in October in Montreal.

I've seen Sabaton six times now and will see them for a seventh time in August. I'm not even a big fan. They just crop up everywhere.

They just crop up everywhere.

Everywhere but Spokane...

These guys have taste you know.

It's bizarre that they've played in Dundee (supporting Dragonforce) and Reading (headline show) before though. Of all places.

 

[Ariana]

Seen them three times now and every single one was worth it. Go if you can.

 

[Collin]

Not a bad song at all. The riff is literally the same as the one towards the middle of ‘Unbreakable’.

 

[Diesel 11]

If “Bismarck” was taken from the classic Sabaton mold, then this is definitely of the modern Sabaton style. Not a bad song at all, I love the energy of the track, but I’m worried now that the entire album will be like this... oh lord.

but I’m worried now that the entire album will be like this... oh lord.

Joakim sounds quite strained in the higher pitches. But I'm happy they found so many rhymes for a mispronunciation of "Verdun".
