SABATON Joins Better Noise Music, Releases New Single “Templars”
Sabaton has just signed with Better Noise Music and has released a new single, “Templars,” giving fans a sneak peek into what to expect from their upcoming record. This single marks the return of guitarist Thobbe Englund and is the band’s first release on Better Noise Music. Pär Sundström, the bassist of Sabaton, expressed his excitement about this new release, stating that “Templars” is the first song they wrote for the upcoming album and really showcases the theatrical side of Sabaton. The band was brimming with ideas on how to bring this song to life on stage from the moment they started working on it.
The music video for “Templars” was filmed at two historical fortresses in Serbia, the Belgrade Fortress within Kalemegdan Park, and Smederevo Fortress, offering a stunning backdrop for the epic battle scenes.

With their unique sound and powerful storytelling, Sabaton continues to captivate audiences worldwide, and their collaboration with Better Noise Music is a new chapter in their musical journey.
