I say this as someone who listens to extreme metal almost exclusively

    I dislike power metal in general but Sabaton is power metal for Redditors who learn history from Wikipedia summaries

      I kinda like power metal. But sabaton just feels.... I dunno. Lots of power metal is escapist. Just music about shit that's not real. Heroism in a vacuum. glory without stakes.

      You can just put your headphones on and let it fuel you to do physical shit. To focus on your hands and your muscles. Get work done.

      But sabaton... it feels like it's making real events into something not real. Tear away all that real shit until only something glorious remains. And that doesn't feel right at all. And the more you think about it, the more not right at all it seems.
