Take a look behind the scenes of the video of Sabaton’s “Templars”

Behind-the-scenes film from the creation of the official music video for their most recent single, “Templars,” has been made public by Swedish metal band Sabaton. Smederevo Fortress and Belgrade Fortress in Kalemegdan Park, two enormous ancient fortresses in Serbia, served as the dramatic and realistic settings for the epic war scenes in the April release of the film.

We never imagined just how fun it would be to film the music video for ‘Templars’. Packed with raw emotion and a lot of action, this was our first time fighting to the death on camera — and honestly, we think we nailed it. (Be honest: did you expect Joakim to go down first?) We had the honour of working with an incredible team of professionals who handled everything from costumes and makeup to fight choreography, filming, and direction. Every single person there helped to bring our vision to life, and we’re beyond grateful. Join us for an epic — and at times hilarious — behind-the-scenes journey. Shot in 2024 at two locations in Serbia, the beautiful Kalamegdan and Smederevo fortresses, this video is the result of true teamwork and passion. Enjoy the BTS journey, metalheads!
