JAKARTA - SABATON marked their comeback by releasing singles and video Templars', the first song from their upcoming 11th studio album. Along with digital releases Templars, the band Power Metal Global #1 and one of Sweden's most successful bands also offer a special release in the form of a 12 black disk on the one hand which is limited to 1000 copies worldwide and will be released on 27 June.

The rock unit fronted by Joakim Brodern (vocals), Pryptor Sundstr\"om (bass), Chris R\"urland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes, Van Dahl (drums) are known for their distinctive styles that raised historical themes, combat, war, and heroic actions that strengthened their ties with loyal and loyal fans for a long time. SABATON has garnered more than three billion streams across streaming platforms and nearly two billion views on YouTube.

"Templars" is the first song we wrote for the upcoming album and it's really showing the theatrical side of SABATON, "said bassist P closer Sundstr\"om.

Since we started working on it, we were filled with ideas to put it on stage. We don't just want to play it 'we want to show it!'

The video "Templars" shows a fictitious story about the last fight against the Knightsbutalar. The band's personnel acted as the last respects to protect the secrets of their order.

The story develops when the templates receive a warning letter that they will be arrested on charges of heresy. Shortly thereafter, enemy forces came to force them to surrender on the orders of King Philippe IV from France.

The templates refused to surrender and chose to fight to the last drop of blood. One by one, they died until only one last knight remained. In the last desperate battle, he defeated the enemy commander before withdrawing to the fort. There, he made his last sacrifice by burning the fort to keep the order secret hidden from the world.

The video was recorded in two historic forts in Serbia (Belgrade Fortress in Taman Kalemegdan and Smederevo Fortress), which provides an authentic and magnificent setting for combat scenes. In order to maintain realism and safety, the band involved a large group of experienced reenaktors who had been involved in film production, so the fighting scene felt very real. Production was carried out for two long days in the midst of a pungent summer, adding to the challenges but also presenting intense raw energy.

With Thobbe Englund's return after almost eight years, the personnel wanted to mark the moment of his special return by making the Lastbutary to face an epic fight. Initially, he planned to wear a helmet so that stuntman could replace him for the fight scene, but the stunt coordinator decided to fight straight away with Thobe.

Although choreography has been prepared, several improvisations have strengthened its intensity. Wearing a 40 kilogram Steel, they fought with incredible strengths that echoed like an earthquake. Even crazier, this scene was filmed in the midst of extreme heat and Thobe had a fever at that time too. But he still performed all out, giving a truly legendary appearance "a way to mark the hero's return to SABATON.

"We are excited to start a new chapter with Better Noise Music," said PSundstr\"om. "After exploring various labels around the world, we feel Better Noise Music is the perfect partner. Even though they are not a label that usually handles heavy metal music like us, that's precisely what makes this collaboration so interesting. We believe they are ready to accept the challenge of working with a band that has a unique color."

"We are very pleased to welcome SABATON into our family," said SECURITY Viklund, Director of A&R Better Noise Music. Music and their strong stories have touched the hearts of fans around the world, and we want to help expand their influence in the United States and strengthen their global reach.
