This song is about Fritz Haber, a Prussian (German) scientist who's legacy is very controversial. Haber (along with another scientist named Carl Bosch) found a way to solve one of the major issues plaguing humanity and science up until that point in time, that is how to sustain the worlds ever expanding human populations (as the Earth does not have enough nutrients present naturally in the soil for us to produce that much food). His work into this topic led him to create the process by which ammonia is synthesized, a key ingredient in fertilizers, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 (it is estimated in some studies that our current global population levels could potentially be between 4-5 billion people lower if not for this discovery). He was however a very patriotic German, and when the first world war broke out, he actively used his skill set to research and create chemical weapons for the war effort (France used tear gas before this, but it was the German army that first employed such deadly compounds, namely chlorine gas). He personally directed these efforts during the war and showed no remorse for creating such terrible weapons after its end. Furthermore, the pesticide Zyklon-A (which he created) was co-opted and slightly modified after his death in 1934 by the Nazi's (whom had come to power in Germany at that point in time) and turned into Zyklon-B (the agent used to kill millions of Jews in the gas chambers during the Holocaust, hence the part of the song about where his inventions would lead). One could thus argue that this makes Fritz partially responsible in a way for these deaths as well (even if he was not living in Germany at the time and many of his own relatives, who where Jewish like himself where also killed using this compound). He therefore saved billions and also led to the deaths and injury of thousands, if not millions of others. His story truly exemplifies the truly duel nature of most people in history, being both a sinner and a saint. As Albert Einstein (a contemporary and good friend of Fritz and his family) put it "Haber's life was the tragedy of the German Jew - the tragedy of unrequited love".

Sabaton: "Hold our beer."

Lets see what she thinks of the 'father' that is the reason half of humanity is alive today, vs the people who has died because of the same person.

[michaelmccarthy]

I love how they tell of the duality of humanity how the lines are often blurred between good and evil that everything come in shades of gray, not the two polar opposites of pure good and pure evil. *edit* After watching this, I watched their song "Attack of the Dead Men".

Speaking as someone who has a history degree (and might as well actually use it) Sabaton are geniuses at pointing out the inspirations and horrors of history. Sometimes at exactly the same time. Great reaction!

[davidwebb]

Dude the face she made when the chorus hits the first time- I felt that! It hits so hard. Freakin love that deep voice

[johnghiglione]

When I first heard this song I was surprised at how different this song was from their other songs. It took a couple of times listening to it before it became one of my favorite songs from them. I have been listening to this song a lot since it came out last week. This song called Father will be part of thier upcoming EP by the end of this year or early next year. I saw Sabaton and Epica in Seattle on September 15th in concert and it was so cool. I would highly recommend seeing Sabaton live. Every time they come to Seattle or are nearby to where Iive I will be going to see them in concert.

Such a great athmosphere in the video. My "Father" T-Shirt ☠️💚 is on the way to me. Chris did an awesome guitar solo again. And we, the germans, got a new song 🇩🇪😜🤘🏻

[MRCQK]

Finally SABATON! Haven't seen them here for a while!

[andreasottohansen]

History is only ever as dry as its' teacher.
Sabaton proves this incredibly well

[ZombieMarine]

This song live was just pure emotion and the guitar solo🥺

[LordBaldur]

I love how Sabaton plays doom metal when they are talking about atrocities.

[themisfitbrigade]

His invention of mustard gas killed millions, but his other inventions and innovations have saved billions and gave us the ability to have a population like we have today

[SeanB-wiyh]

This man both saved and killed millions of people

[darklycan]

i saw this song live once and they had green smoke come out from everywhere and everyone in the crowd was feeling like they were just hit by the gas. it was an incredible atmosphere.

[avatar_of_battle]

I'm seeing them October 21st and I really hope they play this song!
