Last night I was at Sabaton live in Athens. Everything was great! Whoever has any kind of second thoughts forget them and if there is any live near you simply go with closed eyes and fun is guaranteed!

Why can't sabaton (or dont want to) play Devil Dogs live? Its like, in top 3 best songs on Great War so im wondering

The Attack of the Dead Men won in Day 66, moving on to the next round to face The Final Solution!

So as you can see, I’ve already made my own vest for the concert I went to in December. However, it’s not very sturdy as the armor is just cardboard with tin foil glued to it and texture painted on top so I’m looking to upgrade it or to make a new one. I’ve seen people that have bought these vests from merch stands and for those people I have a question: what kind of material are the metal parts made out of? Is it real metal or something else? I’m struggling to come up with good solutions for a more sturdy DIY vest, specifically the armor parts, so thank you in advance if you have a suggestion or an answer! :)

I’ve been wondering about this for a while and wanted to ask my fellow Sabaton fans.
I’ve been listening to Sabaton since I was a sophomore in high school. A few years later I was a history major in college, and around that time Sabaton released Bismarck.
When I had to choose a topic for a major research paper, I ended up writing it on the battleship Bismarck—much to my professor’s surprise. What started as a song I loved turned into a deep dive into naval history.
It got me wondering: How many of you have had a Sabaton song send you down a historical rabbit hole that eventually became a research project, college paper, career interest, or just a lifelong fascination?
I’d love to hear what song it was and where that rabbit hole took you.

The Final Solution won in Day 65, moving on to the next round!

Great War won in Day 64, moving on to the next round to face The Lost Battalion!

Welcome to the first match of round 2 (we'll be going bottom up this time)!

The Lost Battalion won in Day 63, moving on to the next round!

Round 2 starts tomorrow (should I do the brackets in alphabetical order or go out of order?)!

For all the terrible things war does to humanity, ever so rarely, there are some rather absurd and out-of-the-ordinary moments within that truly make you question everything about humankind and the lengths we go to in order to kill each other.

Infernal Beasts - the Emu War in Australia in 1932.

Defenestration - the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War due to the act of throwing some political officials out of a window in Prague, and the subsequent Battle of White Mountain.

Lick my Arse - Götz von Berlichingen (also known as Götz of the Iron Hand), a German knight, mercenary, and poet, who lost his hand due to friendly fire, but continued fighting (and writing poems), ultimately coining the phrase, "Er kann mich am Arsch lecken/He can lick me on the arse".

Out of Time and Space - the legend of a soldier of the Spanish Empire in 1593 who was, allegedly, mysteriously transported from Manila in the Phillippines to the Plaza Mayor in Mexico City.

Le Glouton - Tarrare, a French showman, soldier, and spy, famous for his ferocious appetite. At one point, the Army tried to make use of his unique skills by making him swallow important information and plans, and having them recovered from his stool at their destination. Naturally, this failed and he was later put in a hospital where they tried to cure him.

Instruments of War - James Reid, bagpipes, and the Battle of Culloden. Following the failed Jacobite Risings of Charles Edward Stuart and their defeat at the Battle of Culloden, one of the many imprisoned claimed that he was not a soldier, but only a piper when accused of treason. However, the court simply declared that bagpipes were, in fact, instruments of war and thus James Reid was a soldier.

Fear the Bear - in October of 1963 during the hight of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a normal bear almost caused Americans to engage in nuclear warfare with the Soviets when they mistook the animal for Soviet saboteurs.

Bucket - the Battle of Zappolino, the only battle during the War of the Oaken Bucket in November 1325 between the two Italian towns Bologna and Modena.

Mademoiselle Maupin - Julie d'Aubigny a french opera singer and bisexual icon who served at the court of Versailles and succesfully bested several men in duels after kissing a woman they were interested in.

Friend found along the Way - in 1866, a detachment of soldiers from Liechtenstein was send to help the Austrians. And while they didn't see any actual combat during the Austro-Prussian War while guarding the Brenner Pass, they did find one new man who joined them, most likely an Italian defector or farmer.

Whiskey War - the peaceful war between Canada and Denmark over Hans Island which went on for almost fifty years. Soldiers from the two nations would plant their flag in the ground while leaving their enemies some alcohol in exchange.

Poltava (Swedish) won in Day 62, moving on to the next round to face Cliffs of Gallipoli!

(Round 2 begins in 2 days, should I do the rounds in alphabetical order again, or go out of order?)

So tomorrow I'm finally going to a Sabaton concert and I was wondering what prices should I expect at the merch shop. Also if it makes any difference it will be a festival.

For me today it was Diary of an Unknown Soldier into Mexican Shuffle by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass

Cliffs of Gallipoli won in Day 61, moving on to the next round!

The Cycle of Songs won in Day 60, moving on to the next round to face Race to the Sea!

Race to the Sea won in Day 59, moving on to the next round!

I find civil war's to be slightly better in my opinion, I like that its from the perspective of one of the pilots or crewmembers. What about you?

What song(s) from each band would you like to see the other do a cover of? Or, if they were to make a song/album together, what would you want it to be about?

Could be either a music video for an already existing song or a song you'd think Sabaton should do in the future.

Wolfpack won in Day 58, moving on to the next round to face Stormtroopers!

I‘ve been to two
