SABATON these great warriors from Sweden have finally conquered South America with strong hands and much blood spilled on the way, this time Limeira stood on their path and there was no other alternative than to bow before them and pledge alliance to them! Arriving from Rio De Janeiro where the battle was fierce they were in very good mood indeed and had a whole night to rest, calm before the storm.
Limeira has already become a mayor city within the Heavy Metal World and tonight the headbangers gathered one more time to welcome a major band, behold, SABATON is here. It was a raining night at last, Sao Paulo state is suffering the biggest draught in 80 years and tonight the Godz were fair with us, the sky cracked open as the hordes of Metalheads approached to the battle ground, it was 11:30pm on the dot and our warriors came forth delivering "The March To War" an anthem to the might warriors, the crowd was berserk, people travelled from far way and they could not believe their eyes, amazing stuff really, to see the crowd reacting like that was quite overwhelming, for many it was a dream being fulfilled. "Ghost Division" as the rain stopped the heat was quite unbearable but that did not stop the crowd, they were singing along with Joakim song after song. he spoke to the crowd all the time even throw some Portuguese words, very cool indeed. SABATON is one of those bands that has the power to seduce the fans, very friendly people really and charismatic as well. "To Hell And Back" and it was only the beginning, I had the chance to see them in Germany in 2012, they were amazing there and here in Limeira no different, I was a bit worried because Bar Da Montanha is not a big place, actually this was the smallest venue during the South America tour, but things went pretty well and they did not care about the size of the venue and their performance was just as good as the one in Germany. Again they showed a great deal of professionalism and respect towards the fans, "Resist And Bite" getting a place near the stage was a hard mission, all the pretty girls were pushing and screaming.
After the show they had to go back to the hotel very fast because they had a plane to catch to the next show, there was not much time for photo session, the fans were a bit sad but there was nothing they could have done really. SABATON kicked asses tonight, those who turned up did not regret, it is not always that we have a guest such as big as SABATON to entertain us, again another killer show in Limeira, we live for Metal, we die for Metal, we are the "Metal Crue" last song for the night before the final farewell and everyone cheered our Swedish heroes, hail to SABATON, hail to Sweden!
