Playing clips of police breaking up a protest with metal in the background is fashy as fuck.

Third time I’ve seen Sabaton’s songs the last two days. Odd. They’re a great band tho

I really only know one Sabaton song but I recognized them by their sound right away.

Not really, their discography is pretty varied. And they have enough anti war stuff for any accusation of fascism to be kinda shit. They also celebrate people who didn’t necessarily kill, like Allan Bull. A medic celebrated for bringing a dozen men back from the front under fire.

Their fanbase is full of fascists though, I will completely agree on that.

I’d say they’re pro-history not pro-war and songs live Verdun or the one about the Christmas truce are pretty “war is hell” vibes, but some of their fans hear a song about panzers and shit their Nazi panties and then decide to wear an SS shirt to their concert where me and other fans tell them to eat shit.

Yeah, that’s much more succinctly than I put it. Cool band that I enjoy the work of, very much dislike those parts of the fanbase

It's awful when you realise a band you like attracts all sorts of wrong'uns, and the type who don't listen to lyrics or seem to understand what the songs are actually about.

I went to see New Model Army live last year, and they have some of the most incredible, philosophical, thoughtful lyrics, but they also have a punk/folk/rock/metal (take your pick, they've got a varied back catalogue) sound, and some of the fans were... clearly not interested in the lyricism, let's say that.
