and trebuchet is what we call an icbm

The way Joakim explains it he bacame the singer until they found someelse, but the lazy bastards (his own words) never got around to finding another.

Actually there was NO singer or original songs before Joakim came in as a keyboardist and a songwriter, in early 1999 age 18. The "band" (bunch of 17-19 year olds playing covers together) was called Aeon at the time. "Sabaton" for the name was reportedly Joakim's idea, when they learned that there was already a band called Aeon, and had to come up with something else. Sabaton's music is mostly written by Joakim (sometimes he works with a friend etc.) The 2014 album Heroes is when any band mates started to actually collaborate with him on the music. In the very beginning it was all him. These days he's still the main songwriter on their music. He started to sing just to demonstrate to the others how the vocal melodies were supposed to go, since he had written those too. He had never sung properly before that. He was not a singer at all then! He himself says he was really bad for the first few years, but still the best singer in the band. That is big reason why he sounds like he does, no classic vocal coaching just instincts and try & error. He also sung on the early stuff so they could use the demos to find a singer, but they never did. Not sure how hard they actually tried, seems they were "lazy bastards"... And then in 2005 they had an actual succesful album out, with him as the (epic) singer, at that point it no longer made any sense to get someone else. Instead they hired a keyboardist 2005-2012 (though Joakim has always done a lot, and on some albums all, of the keyboards). Joakim is the ONLY lead singer Sabaton has EVER had! And here's the kicker, HE NEVER WANTED TO BE A SINGER!

So literally, in Starship Troopers terms. "I need a lead singer. You're it until you're either dead or I find someone better"

I'm so glad that happened, I never liked to sing when I was younger but when I discovered Sabaton in my early 20's I found an interest to since I love history. Now I'm 32 and try to sing once a week and I owe it to him.

It's the Strv K its pretty good just don't face off a FV4005 like that
