“‘Eventide’ is a celebration of lifelong companionship and unwavering loyalty. A calming voice from the side of the bed in the greatest time of need, sharing beautiful memories as one heart is slowing down and their time together is coming to an end.”
Kamelot have premiered a new song titled “Opus Of The Night (Ghost Requiem).” The track, which features Tina Guo, is from the band’s new album “The Awakening,” which will be released on March 17. Tommy Karevik commented:
“The music of Kamelot has always carried the message of hope, light and a feeling of resolution. This story is a prime example of that. ‘Opus Of The Night’ honors the traditional dark and melodic sound of the band while bringing some new and exciting elements to the table.”
Kamelot have premiered a new video for their new song “One More Flag In The Ground.” This track is from the band’s new album “The Awakening,” which will be released on March 17.
Vocalist Tommy Karevik said the following about the song:
“The main focus on this video and song was to have a metaphor for the struggles of fighting disease or illness, whether it being physical or mental. Each step of healing and recovery is another flag in the ground. With every little step, one more victory won…”
Guitarist Thomas Youngblood also added the following about the album:
“With ‘The Awakening’, we have one of our most diverse albums in years. We’ve fused elements from progressive, power and gothic metal to symphonic and melodic metal on this one. Working with incredible guest artists from around the music industry and having producer Sascha Paeth and Jacob Hansen mixing gave us another step up on overall sound. This album offers everything to Kamelot fans and also reaches beyond borders to new metal and hard rock legions.”

During a recent interview with A&P Reacts, Kamelot’s Thomas Youngblood offered an update on the writing process for the band’s new album. According to him, the group currently have 25 songs written for the effort.
Youngblood said the following
“We have, actually, 25 songs right now, which has never happened — never. So now we have to kill a lot of darlings for this album, which sucks. Actually, I have a Zoom call today with Tommy [Karevik] and Oliver [Palotai]. We’re gonna be discussing that very fact. ‘Cause we have to focus on 12, 13 songs. So, yeah, we have more material than ever. Some really cool stuff. I think a lot of what fans expect, but also a lot of cool new surprises.”
He continued:
“Having Tommy now as one of the songwriters has been killer; he’s coming out with really cool stuff. And then, of course, Oliver and myself, and having Alex [Landenburg] now as our drummer; he’s got a lot of cool ideas. What a cool guy Alex is. So, yeah, it’s gonna be exciting. We’re slowly putting all the parts together. We’re planning like things are gonna happen middle of next year. Let’s hope that happens. If not, at least we’ll be ready.”

Kamelot have shared a new live video for “Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)” featuring Lauren Hart (Once Human). The footage is taken from the band’s new Blu-ray/DVD, “I Am The Empire – Live From The 013,” which will be released on August 14. That effort was recorded during the band’s September 14, 2018 show at the 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands. Thomas Youngblood commented:
“We are pleased to present ‘Phantom Divine’ as the second video from our upcoming DVD/Blu-ray. This song is from our most recent studio release ‘The Shadow Theory’ and features Lauren Hart. During the entire ‘Shadow’ tour, this was the night opener and always set the tone for the rest of the evening. Fans tell me this song encompasses a ton of what they feel is part of the Kamelot trademark. We hope you all share in our joy for this release!”
