  • We Were Just a Metal Band, and Then We Also Became Educators»
    «We were just a metal band, and then we also became educators» En studie av hvordan metallbandet Sabaton fremstiller fortiden, intensjonene deres og hvordan lytterne reagerer Christian Fredrik Ask Masteroppgave i historie Institutt for arkeologi, historie, kultur- og religionsvitenskap UNIVERSITET I BERGEN Våren 2021 Abstract Title: “We were just a metal band, and then we also became educators”: A study on how the metal band Sabaton portray the past, their intentions for doing so and how their listeners respond. This thesis is a study on how the Swedish metal band Sabaton conveys the past in their music, their intentions and messaging in their songs, and how listeners respond to this. This is done by analysing a selection of their songs based on three different separated themes, by using Philippe Carrard’s “minimalistic narratives” term to find out what story is conveyed by the lyrics, and what kind of moral or political message can be interpreted from it. The band’s intentions are interpreted by analysing statements made by the band’s frontmen, Joakim Brodén and Pär Sundström. The response of the listeners is gathered by analysing comment sections on YouTube videos of both official and unofficial videos of the band’s music. In general, Sabaton portray the past to entertain their listeners. Their intentions for doing so are largely commercial. For the listeners, Sabaton’s music fulfils other uses for historical functions than just entertainment: it has existential, scientific, legitimising and identity- creating functions. Sabaton’s music allows the listeners to immerse themselves in the past. i Forord I mange år har jeg kunne betegnet meg selv som to ting: «metalhead» og «historienerd».

  • The Great War
    The Great War Musik | Interview: Pär Sundström from »Sabaton« For many years the Swedish band Sabaton has been risking a tightrope walk between musical entertainment and historical education. Many people misunderstand the band’s efforts as glorification of war. Now, the first single ›Fields of Verdun‹ from the new album ›The Great War‹ has been released and even the fan community is divided whether the song meets their expectations or not. ANNA NOAH talks with bassist Pär Sundström about the creation of an unusual CD. Fields of Verdun ›The Great War‹ will be released via Nuclear Blast on July, 19th 2019 just in time for the bands 20th anniversary. The album was produced by Jonas Kjellgren and mastered by Maor Appelbaum. ›Fields of Verdun‹ was chosen as the first single as the history of the Battle of Verdun is representative for the whole album. Journalists from all over the world are invited – not only to listen to their music, but also to understand the story behind the songs. The Great War And while other bands offer strange merchandise, Sabaton created a YouTube channel that explains the historical background of the songs with Sabaton History. The band brought in the historian Indiana »Indy« Neidell. He is best known for his Great War channel, which documents World War I in real time using modern research and archival footage. On the history edition of ›The Great War‹ the mysterious voice of a woman speaks the lead-in texts to each song. »Sabaton« Fun Fact Normally a sabaton is part of a knight’s body amour that covers the foot.

  • Interview with Pär Sundström Sabaton
    Interview with Pär Sundström Sabaton El Octavo Historiador just had the occasion of interview Pär Sundstörm, bassist and founder of the music group Sabaton. We have already made some articles about them in previous times with some of their songs, such as in “En la cabeza resuenan balas: Trastorno por estrés postraumático y heavy metal” and in "Acordes de absolutismo: <<Carolus rex>>" [just available in Spanish]. El Octavo Historiador [EOH]: Most of your lyrics have a Historical background and we suppose there is some reason for that. Could you tell us? Pär Sundström [PS]: We find it more exciting to write songs about real historical events than to write about fiction. That is the main reason, instead of making up new stories we keep the ones already existing alive. EOH: Several of your songs speak about war and we would like to know why the military conflicts attract that much your attention. PS: It’s the part of of history that connects easiest to our music style, heavy metal. And we think some of these stories are amazing and needs to be retold. In all times since music was invented musicians has orchestrated stories of war and battles. EOH: When you compose a new song, what comes first: the historical event you want to speak about or the instrumental part of the song? PS: We always keep a library of ideas for lyrical themes. But they are matched into the songs. So music is written always before the lyrics. Interview with Pär Sundström (Sabaton) EOH: We know every time you have an interview in a foreign country they ask you this question but, have you ever thought of singing about the history of Spain? We have lots of interesting events in our past.
