Ain't wrong. The number of people I know who have become (irritatingly competitive) amateur history nerds because of Sabaton is not zero.

I've never seen a metal band with so many happy smiles

In that case, I believe, you've never been to a metal show. A bunch of happy folk in leather and denim.

Metal shows are a bunch of people coming home to their clan and having a good time.

Obviously I've been to several metal shows hence my comment on this thread. It was also a happy go lucky response thank you very much.

Isn't actually uplifting because they're about to lose the award because they said pro-russian shit about Crimea.

As per Swedish television (public service) https://www.svt.se/kultur/sabaton-kan-bli-av-med-priset-som-arets-folkbildare

Isn't that statement from the particular band member who was also in Russia through a lot of the early Coronavirus Pandemic?

He also cost Sabaton a contract cancelled over a song they produced for the Military commemorating them after the later found out he was a draft dodger. Edit: apparently Sabaton playing in occupied Crimea was a factor too.

Edit: Edit: Damn, and the Swedish Government retracted their support for a another of their patriotic Swedish songs after that concert too.

A quick search has the band's comment about the Russian invasion being about how horrible War is - without condemning anyone - which seems to be a deliberately neutral statement. I guess they have loads of Russian fans and would rather not lose their business.

Before you clicked, you knew it couldn’t be any other band.
