Bio:

Kamelot is an American power metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed by Thomas Youngblood and Richard Warner in 1991. The Norwegian vocalist Roy Khan joined for the album Siége Perilous, and shared songwriting credit with Youngblood until his departure in April 2011. On June 22, 2012, Youngblood announced on their website that their new vocalist is the Swedish singer Tommy Karevik, who is featured on Kamelot's latest album Silverthorn as main vocalist, co songwriter and lyricist.Up until 2012,Kamelot had released ten studio albums (excluding two reissues), two live albums, one live DVD, and seven music videos. Their latest studio album is Silverthorn, which was released October 2012 via SPV/Steamhammer and King Records Japan.Kamelot was unofficially formed back in 1988 by Youngblood, Wagner and others as "Camelot". The band recorded "Breaking The Silence" for the "Tampa Bay's Metal Mercenaries: The Invasion" a cassette of various Heavy Metal bands from Tampa Bay produced by Keith "Thumper" Collins (ex-bassist for Savatage).Kamelot was officially founded in Florida by Thomas Youngblood and Richard Warner in 1991.Three years later, the band signed a deal with Noise Records and released its first album, Eternity, in 1995. The next album, Dominion, was released in 1997. Later that year, the drummer and founder Warner and the lead vocalist Mark Vanderbilt were replaced by drummer Casey Grillo and vocalist Roy Khan (formerly of Conception).With these two new members, Kamelot released its third studio album, Siege Perilous, in 1998. The band undertook its first tour during the fall, playing shows across Europe. Following this, the band returned to Tampa to write music for a new album titled The Fourth Legacy.

Album:

As one of the most innovative and prestigious bands in modern symphonic metal, heavy icons Kamelot have reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as "The Fourth Legacy" (1999), "The Black Halo" (2005), "Silverthorn" (2012), "Haven" (2015) and most recently 2018's acclaimed "The Shadow Theory" ... and by headlining tours worldwide and delivering massive performances at top festivals around the globe. Now, the quintet set its sights beyond formulaic confines with its most introspective, uplifting, vital release to date - the first full-length in five years, 2023's aptly titled "The Awakening". The album shines as a massive and diverse offering mixing symphonic, melodic and power metal styles, yielding some of the heaviest tracks in Kamelot's history.Kamelot is one of few bands in the symphonic genre to fully embrace the dark, but of course, there can be no light without it. Inspiring, engaging lyrical themes of determination, strength, overcoming personal battles and growth are abound on "The Awakening", provoked by extreme societal shifts and the overwhelming realization that we have such a brief time to be true to ourselves and live life to its fullest. With crystal-clear modern production helmed by the band and long-time producer Sascha Paeth, plus mastering by Jacob Hansen of Hansen Studios, Kamelot's score-like 13th studio album is accented by guest contributions from the likes of Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and renowned instrumentalists like violinist Florian Janoske and Grammy nominated, soundtrack-featured cellist Tina Guo.Tracks honoring Kamelot trademarks like the cinematic "The Great Divide" and darkly hopeful eternal farewell to a loved one, "Eventide", prove that while "The Awakening" stays true to the aural foundations fans have embraced for decades, equally-addictive outputs like "One More Flag In The Ground" - a radio-ready anthem about overcoming seemingly unbeatable illness and the mental challenges we all face, featuring additional vocal layers from JUNO Award winning musician and producer Brian Howes - showcase a band devoid of sonic stagnancy. Profound compositions are plentiful, like stage-ready, operatic "Opus Of The Night (Ghost Requiem)", which features a hair-raising dual solo from guitarist Thomas Youngblood and guest cellist Tina Guo, as well as epic, synth-laden "New Babylon", elevated by the dynamic vocal attack of frontman Tommy Karevik and Ad Infinitum's Melissa Bonny. Further balancing darkness with light, grooving, heartfelt "NightSky" and ode to conquering one's adversities "My Pantheon (Forevermore)" boast some of the album's heaviest moments and most complex guitar solos, while pensive hymns such as Celtic-infused "Midsummer's Eve" and ebbing-and-flowing hymn of cherished memories "Willow" provide necessary balance to an album fittingly primed for spectacular performances to come. Showcasing the incomparable, stage-seasoned vocal acrobatics of Tommy Karevik and increasingly airtight, renowned technical teamwork of guitarist Thomas Youngblood, drummer Alex Landenburg, keyboardist Oliver Palotai and bassist Sean Tibbets, "The Awakening" embraces enlivening themes that every listener can relate to. Kamelot's intense brand of ultra-modern gothic and symphonic theatricality is amplified further and with more emotionality than ever on this inspiring, anticipated addition to the Kamelot legacy.
