Sabaton have put out a new version of Templars with Leigh Kakaty of Pop Evil singing on it, through Better Noise Music.
The pair did it on stage first. Kakaty walked out during Sabaton's set at Louder Than Life in Louisville and the two bands debuted the version in front of the festival, which is a safer order than it sounds: Pop Evil are Sabaton's tourmates in North America and the rehearsal had an audience either way.
Templars was the song that opened the door to Legends last year, the eleventh Sabaton album. Joakim Brodén says the point of going back to it was to do something different with a song the audience already had, and to warm up the North American run that follows.
