Sabaton has teamed up with the organizers of the MMO game, World Of Tanks, to make tank metal a reality. Along with help from the famous German music video and commercial director, Zoran Bihac, they’ve just uploaded an amazing tank-filled video for the title track of their 2005 album. Zoran Bihac explains, “Understanding the setting of World of Tanks, I can easily say that this game is about history and its importance, but to be honest: also about fun. It awakens the inner child in you; it’s how I feel about my work, and it resonates with SABATON’s style. I wanted to keep the feeling of the game, and especially of their trailers, which look like real, historically accurate movies. This had to be combined with the song and our performance. To create a story, I came up with the setting of a normal performance video, where the tanks come alive, and start to hunt and shoot each other.”

Fans can expect more tank metal coming to World Of Tanks. On August 17th, the first-ever music tank, the Strv 81 Primo Victoria, will be available in the game with some cool camo and unique features like a SABATON crew with the captain’s VO, Band Of Brothers perk, and more. Stay tuned.
