The music video for 1916 was filmed in Birmingham and at the famous Black Country Living Museum. In the video, an abundance of historical characters from the Sabaton lore can be seen.

The video also features a headbanging metal army from Birmingham, complete with battle gear and weapons, marching through the streets. The Sabaton army is joined by a group of extras dressed as soldiers from various eras, including World War I and II, as well as medieval knights and Roman legionnaires.

In addition to the historical characters, the music video also includes a cameo from the living members of Motörhead, Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell.
