- Complete Monster: We Burn shows very clearly that this is how band sees people behind Yugoslavian genocide. Not without reason, as you could guess.
- This is also how they see Saddam Hussein
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: With each album the number of awesome moments in World War Two they haven't dedicated a song to decreases.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Oh so many.
- ATTERO! DOMINATUS!
- 40:1 and Uprising. Double points if you're Polish, as hearing the words “Warszawo walcz!” will for sure be an amazing experience.
- Ghost Division, oh so much.
- Hellrider
- "Prepare for Nuclear Attack!"
- Swedish Pagans
- Let's just say there are more examples.
- Two words: "Primo Victoria."
- To the skies, see Carolus Rise!
- The Lion from the North. "Lion come forth, come from the no-o-o-orth~!"
- While it'd be easy to say all of Carolus Rex, special mention goes out to Poltava and Long Live The King.
- Fan Dumb: Search for any Sabaton song on YouTube. It's pretty possible that most of the comments will be about politics.
- Or, in many cases, assuming that all they sing about is Nazis...long story.
- Genius Bonus: More like historian bonus, as the more knowledge about history you have, the more events referenced in their songs you're gonna understand. This pretty much encourages the listener to do a lot of research.
- Poles Love Sabaton: Oh boy, how very much. Thanks to their 40:1, they've found their way into mainstream news and do concerts in museums. Here's the Aesop: when you're a dabbling metaller, and want to quickly and surely gain some notoriety, make a song about brave Polish people. They seem to realise this (heh eh heh heh), as they've now let out Uprising.
- Also in Russia, thanks to Stalingrad, Panzerkampf and Attero Dominatus.
- Misaimed Fandom - there's potential for that, for obvious reasons. One of their songs is called "Wehrmacht".
- Music to Invade Poland To: Sabaton get this a lot. They make bombastic power metal, their vocalist rolls his Rs in a very particular way, and most of their songs are about WW I and II, quite a few of them from the perspective of German forces. Disregard that they have several songs from the perspective of the nations fighting against Nazi Germany as well as definite anti-war anthems, and that their eight minute epic about the Nazi's rise to power is called Rise of Evil. Oh, and the band is Swedish.
- All things considered "Music to Defend Poland to" would be a more apt description, considering their Polish fanbase and songs like 40:1 and Uprising.
- Tear Jerker: I dare you to listen to The Price of a Mile and not get misty-eyed.
- Also Cliffs of Gallipoli, with lyrics taken from the Turkish memorial for the Australians who died there.
Oh mothers wipe your tears, your sons will rest a million years |
- Same with The Hammer Has Fallen.
- Also "Purple Heart" and "Light in the Black"; very poignant.
- The Final Solution, one of the most amazing power ballads you'll ever hear, is about... Auschwitz.
When freedom burns |
- Angels Calling.
- The album Carolus Rex in general can be considered this for patriotic Swedes. Long Live The King is this for everyone.
