Sabaton’s Joakim Brodรฉn Answers The Most Curious Metallica Question

In a new appearance onย Metal Hammer,ย Joakim Brodรฉn, best known as the vocalist of the Swedishย heavy metalย bandย Sabaton, was asked the question that about the Americanย heavy metalย bandย Metallicaย and answered if he plays their songย โ€œOne,โ€ย which about war and justice.

When the interviewer asked, โ€œWould you ever consider covering Metallica’s ‘One’? It’s a song that is about war and one that you would do justice to,โ€ Joakim Brodรฉn replied:

โ€œThank you! I would love to, that’s one of my favorite Metallica songs and they were at the top of their game then. From a singer’s point of view: how the fuck can I outperform James Hetfield on that? I can’t and maybe it’s better that we don’t.

โ€œMetallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden – we’ve covered them all and they rarely turn out good because those bands are the best at being those bands for a fucking good reason.โ€

He continued: โ€œThere’s a better chance of us doing an original cover of something from a different music genre or something that’s not so emotionally loaded for us. How do we step out of their shadow when we grew up under that shadow?โ€

Sabaton has released its ninth full-length called The Great War on July 19, 2019.
