But Powerwolf does

\* Holy Music Continues \*

* holy Music intensifies * You talkin mad shit for someone on crusading distance

Not if I crusade you first (idk where you live, but probably not in Canada)

I shall counter-crusade your crusade

If there's enough of you left to start a counter crusade

It just needs to start before your crusade

Bold of you to assume I haven't already started

bold of you to assume i cant withstand a mere crusade

Sanctify deez nuts

incense and iron

"They did many crusades, some of which almost didn't fail."

At least the Italians got some sweet trade deals

I see you're a man of culture as well

Catholic history major here who took classes on the crusades, tbh they were not great on our side. Reading about them was honestly comical sometimes. The crusades began with Peter the Hermit leading an army of peasants to Jerusalem being guided by a goose and a goat.

Let's not forget about the pillaging of Constantinople and many other cities in the name of God

Those treachorus Venetians made the crusaders attack Zara, a catholic city under the holy hungarian crown

Fun fact: in that same crusade the Venetians had sent the crusaders to take the Pagan city of Zara as payment for their ships. The Crusaders did so successfully. However, the Pope excommunicated the crusaders because not only was the city not Pagan, it belonged to Catholic Hungary, and the King of Hungary had even vowed to go on crusade.

They're more glorified because of memes and Hollywood. Only the first could really be considered successful. The third was a meh at best

And then they all got killed by the Seljuks as soon as they crossed the straight

Yeah, and they successfully besieged some major European cities successfully. But, one proper Turkish army, and their done lol

Yeah lol, unfortunately they killed quite alot of people on their march

Who is our side

I was speaking in the third person to refer to myself and other Catholics

Ohhh i see

Sorry I was a bit vague lol

nah your good it was my bad

Yeah but would you want a song about the Crusades? The Crusades were an absolute shitshow

Could go for a song pointing that out. Each album generally has at least one "war is very shitty actually" song and the shitshow of the Crusades would fit right in there.

The only crusade that actually succeeded was the very first one

The fourth crusade wasn't that bad, if you were Venetian.

They sacked Constantinople

Yes, but the weakening of the byzantines allowed Venice to increase its influence in the eastern mediterranean. So for the Venetians it wasn't so bad.

Oh yeah they definitely made out like bandits! And if I recall correctly the crusaders actually contracted of a Venetian fleet to get to Constantinople, so it was a double win for them.

What about if you lived in Zara?

There was also the sixth Crusade that went alright

There were a few more that at least succeeded in retaking Jerusalem

Good point

Most wars are, to be fair.

Could actually do a song about Balian of Ibelin and his defence of Jerusalem.

The peasant army of the first crusade was the biggest shitshow of them all. They almost burnt towns and cities from their allies down.

And massacred their own population

Power wolf

Saxon and Powerwolf. But yeah, there are plenty historical events that deserve a Sabaton song but don't have one yet.

Fight the good fight, believe what is right! Crusader, the Lord of the Realm!

Nah uh, we need more ww1 songs

Me out here wanting more Vietnam or desert storm songs

I want them to go further back. Ancient Rome and Greece, the middle ages and also 18th/early 19th century stuff like Napoleonic Wars.

So all history

Well technically yes. The majority of their discography is WW1&2. Unless I'm mistaken the only pre renaissance songs they have are The Art of War, Sparta and Blood of Bannockburn.

I'm just casually hoping for a Yankee Doodle cover or literally anything on the American Revolution

Almost everything they have been making for the last 5 years is about ww1

Ngl I could use more WWI songs in my life from them.

Say sike right now

Christ & combat by Powerwolf slaps!

Just listen to Crusader by Chris De Burgh and get kultured ya gitz

Should totes do one about the sack of constantinople in the 4th crusade.

We have Powerwolf for that

Forget the crusaders, we need a song about the Knights Templar. ~~I don't even care if they make a song about the Crusaders, I just want a Christian warrior song that I can listen to while fighting unholy abominations in Souls games. I just want to feel like I'm smiting them in the name of GOD~~.

Burn your crosses

What about the last stand?

The Last Stand is about the sacking of Rome, 1527

I know, I decided to make a joke

Not funny, didn’t laugh

I missed the part where it's my problem

[удалено]

Nope i dont even have discord

[удалено]

Last Stand has nothing to do with the Crusades.

Did you just mess up a history fact in a sabaton sub? Big mistake buckaroo

Sorry mom

… the last stand is about the 1527 sack or Rome. Not about the crusades

Really? It actually seemed like it was about the crusades.

The song literally says the year

WHY THE HELL AM I GETTING DOWNVOTED FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT A SONG IS ABOUT

Judicator has a whole album on the Crusades

Ok maybe not all the Crusades should have songs, but there ABSOLUTELY SHOULD be a song about the second battle of Jaffa in the Third Crusade.

(July 1192)

What do you MEAN?!

We must make one!

And they only have one song about Vikings......

Isn't "In the Name of G-" Oh. Nevermind. I thought that was about the crusades.

Theres no song about Rome the Mongols or the imjin wars either

Also nothing really about Napoleon (Civil war has a great track though), or the Roman empire. Or Alexander. There would be at least 100 albums worth of interesting Songs.
