Lyrics: Primo Victoria

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

We've been training for years
Now we're ready to strike
As the great operation begins
We're the first wave on the shore
We're the first ones to fall
Yet soldiers have fallen before

In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
In this burning inferno
Know that nothing remains
As our forces advance on the beach

Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us

We've been here before
Used to this kind of war
Crossfire grind through the sand
Our orders were easy
It's kill or be killed
Blood on both sides will be spilled

In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
Now that we are at war
With the axis again
This time we know what will come

6th of June 1944
Allies are turning the war
Normandy state of anarchy
Overlord

Can we quickly appreciate just how much fun the drummer is having

[HeavyRulezz]

My personal fav song of Van Canto is Rebellion and always will be. You should check it xD video is amazing, and besides it's a song of Grave Digger, blasting heavy metal band

[loxer]

greetings from Germany, Van Canto is great

[lm_gio]

hey guys, nice vid. If you want to do another Van Canto video i would suggest their own song If I die in Battle (which is awesome), but you could also do the live Grave Digger-Hansi Kursch-Van Canto video of the song Rebellion.

[TheFundead]

Love this version!!!...lol... Great vid as always guys, love it!!!

[tronis]

Van Canto Badaboom is a very good song

[shamandaliens]

"Anything Sabaton touches, turns to gold''. You guys are hilarious. xD

I've known about van Canto for years, they're really great, and I'm finally gonna see them live at Masters of Rock next month! You should definitely do more of their videos. ^^

[davidecamurani]

Where did you buy that "keep calm and Sabaton" t-shirt? it's amazing :D

[SpielmannsHerz]

yes, thank you so much, pretty sure I requested exactly this a couple of times by now^^

[Floruebergehend]

I remember these guys. It's kinda weird but awesome hearing acapella metal. :D I totally forgot about Badaboom, you'll love it especially the video to the song.. but Rebellion (like almost everyone mentioned in the comment) is the best song. In my opinion even better than the original.

I also wanted to add, after your Nightwish reaction of The poet and the pendulum I kept listening to their stuff almost every day. All the Nightwish fans I met showed me songs like Nemo or Amaranth only, which are okay, but nothing special, but that video really changed the way I looked on Nightwish and it's incredible that I almost didn't care whether or not I'll see them on Wacken. Now I know, I would regret not seeing them for sure. :D Thank you for that.

Great video :) FYI The lead singer of Van Canto recently left but they already have a new singer AND a new album out in August! So there will be new material to review soon!

[emilrosenov]

There is a version of Primo Victoria, but with vocals by the one and only Mr. Tommy Johansson. It's by his own band - ReinXeed. You have to listen to it, it's epic.

[freddybergmann]

Van Canto's "Badaboom" would be a very good choice. It has a choir of about 200 fans in the background.

[kevboard]

My favourite Van Canto song is Last Night of the Kings, it's an original song and a power ballad.

[Tyacatt]

my 15 - 16 yr old daughter LOVES Sabaton

[peterkarargiris]

Well done guys - variety is the spice of life.

[CTUAgentOlsen]

I agree. You can never have too much Sabaton. They're new album is out now or will be soon so definitely check it out. Also, as far as Van Canto, they did a really good cover of Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden. I never heard the original version by IM but I really liked VC's cover of it.

[akumasplayground]

Van canto is a german heavy metal acapela Band and a very Good Cover to is Master of puppets

[wulfila]

Their best cover has to be Master of Puppets

[iceywolfgamming]

These guys do a great version of The Bard Song from Blind Guardian.
