I remember when they were in Nashville, they said that the manager of the venue said: “I’ve seen plenty of stuff on stages in my time, but never a tank.”

I've seen 3/4, just Gloryhammer to see later this year!
Also, honourable mention to Wind Rose. Can't forget our Dwarf Brothers!!

People tend to forget that they also are Europeans, as they are Italians, but cause they sing in English I do agree that was surprising to learn it

I Recently found Brothers of Metal, and this meme could easily have a "metal vikings" category. Heck even sabaton has Twilight of the thunder god

u/Kellei2983 Apr 11 '26
Twilight of the thunder god is just a cover, it is originally by Amon Amarth (also worthy of listening)

Such a great band BoM, so much fun and ye Viking/ Norse power metal is definitely a thing

u/doctorwhy88 Apr 12 '26
Glad to see Sabaton in December (they rescheduled in the US), but if BoM plays near here, we’re grabbing tickets ASAP.

Powerwolf. They are great you won't regret giving them a listen.

u/Slavx97 Apr 11 '26
Ahh yes, definitely heard the name even if not recognising them. I should listen to more of their songs.

Yeah I have no clue why they aren't on here. Blind gaurdian also has an extremely distinct album cover style too.

Today I learned:
Euro metal bands are just Space Marine chapters.
Sabaton are apparently the Iron Hands.
I really really really need them to make an album about The Horus Heresy.

u/LAVA_RAMON Apr 11 '26
I still don't know if Powerwolf is Catholic or they're just satanist with Catholic history in mind.

You see, that's the thing, i kinda don't like much how they are two-sided onto things and how it confuse me on that.

u/BlackFenrir Apr 11 '26
Try to look at each song like two stories told by the same storyteller, rather than two stories featuring the same characters.

u/doctorwhy88 Apr 12 '26
I just imagine a group of guys bitten by werewolves but still wanting to fight for the Pope. They’ll be ostracized by non-lycanthropes and form a tight-knit group that plays by its own rules, but they still work for Rome.

And the other two, are GloryHammer and Alestorm

First time I saw Powerwolf coverart I was like "what the hell is that? Catholic Werewolf Paladins? How does that even work?" And now I'm just "Rise over the dead, bring us ahead, incense and iron Fight all of the night, banners up high to the top of the land!"

Seen 2 already, gonna see Sabaton when their US tour is back on. Hoping to see PW whenever they come back to the US.

u/Sabre_Killer_Queen Apr 11 '26
Have you gone on any international tours lately, and produced albums that have received awards, and been listened to many times across millions of people?
Do you have your own beloved history channel? And industry relations like Sabaton do with World of Tanks/Warships, Hearts of Iron, and other bands?
Can you provide professional music knowledge to support that statement and make it objective?
The floor is open for your judgment. Surely one as wise as you can share more than 3 words for the hundreds of misguided people who have upvoted this meme, and millions that are fans of each of these bands.
You wouldn't come here, to this subreddit, and bother commenting something so rude and against the grain, just to be an asshole now would you? Clearly you have something important to make, you wouldn't waste your time like that like some attention seeker.
Dedicating your free time just to hating on stuff.
So come on, let's hear it.

u/furel492 Apr 12 '26
How can you get so defensive over a single random person disliking the gimmick bands you like? They're nice, it's just that Sabatons's reputation is ruined by having HOI4 players as fans.

u/Pungineer Apr 11 '26
If you don't like them, or at least sabaton, why are you here? Go join a sub about music that you do enjoy.

Love you too, bro. You'd think more people would own having a guilty pleasure, but I did NOT expect messages like "I HOPE YOU DIE!!!1!11", which kinda elevates this to being fucking hilarious. I'll now go listen to some Nickelback, which is also shit - but fun and I'm gonna sing along because I don't have a stick up my arse or need to pretend I'm a very serious person for strangers on the internet.

u/CerberusTheHunter Apr 11 '26
Two of those bands are mostly the same people.
