Trivia / Radio Tapok

• Breakthrough Hit: "The Attack of the Dead Men" put him on the map in the West.
• Colbert Bump: Sabaton did him a major favor with their promotion of his covers.
• Meaningful Release Date: The music video for "Smuta" was released on November 4th, the date of Russian national holiday, the Day of People's Unity. Said holiday commemorates the day when Polish occupation forces were kicked out of Moscow in 1612, ending the "Smuta" ("Time of Troubles") period for good.
• Recursive Adaptation: "Battle for Moscow" was written as a tribute to Sabaton's music; Sabaton then covered it in English and even devoted an episode of the Sabaton History channel to it. And then Oleg did a reaction video to their cover. How's that for Heavy Meta?
