Kamelot ist eine eher untypische amerikanische Power-Metal-Band mit leicht progressivem Einschlag und orchestralen/klassischen Einflüssen, welche aus Sänger Roy Khan, dem Gitarristen Thomas Youngblood, dem Bassisten Glenn Barry, dem Keyboarder Oliver Palotai und dem Drummer Casey Grillo besteht. Khan stammt aus Norwegen, Oliver Palotai aus Deutschland, die anderen Bandmitglieder sind US-Amerikaner.

Geschichte

Gegründet wurde die Band 1991 von Gitarrist Thomas Youngblood und Drummer Richard Warner. 1994 unterschrieben Kamelot einen Plattenvertrag und veröffentlichten im August des folgenden Jahres ihr Debüt Eternity. 1996 folgte Dominion, ein Werk, das noch variantenreicher und vielfältiger klang. Im Frühjahr 1997 mussten Schlagzeuger Richard Warner und Sänger Mark Vanderbilt ausgetauscht werden. Mit Casey Grillo und dem früheren Conception-Sänger Roy Khan, der in die laufende Produktion zu Siege Perilous einstieg, fanden Kamelot einen vollwertigen Ersatz. Anno 1999 kehrte die neu formierte Band nach Wolfsburg ins „Gate Studio“ zurück, um dort das vierte Album The Fourth Legacy zu produzieren, das für Kamelot einen neuen künstlerischen Höhepunkt bedeutete.

Im Jahre 2001 präsentierte die Band ihr fünftes Studiowerk Karma.

Die nachfolgend aufeinander erschienen Studioalben Epica (2003) und The Black Halo (2005) beschäftigen sich textlich mit Goethes Faust, vor allem Faust II und den Querverweisen zur in der Klassik wiedergefundenen griechischen Antike.

I'm not that surprised Glenn left, but I'm still disappointed. I would definitely have cried if it was Oliver, Thomas or Khan though.

"When I heard Kamelot for the first time, the first thought I had was "OMFG, what an “eargasmic” voice this man has."" When I heard Kamelot for the first time, the first thought I had was, "Hmm, I don't really like the guy's voice but the music underneath is really pretty good." But hell, I know I'm swimming against the stream about Khan. And about Glenn, I was actually more annoyed that no one cares than that he's left, though I suppose if he's been absent for a while I can see why people aren't that surprised.

How can you not like Epica's cover? o.O

Unfortunately not, and I doubt that it'll happen in the future considering they were released on different labels.

Is there a way to buy Epica and Black Halo in a single box-set? I hate the cover of Epica, it really puts me off! They should both be linked and related to Faust somehow.

Yes. I very rarely listen to albums prior to Fourth Legacy.

The Fourth Legacy was Khan's first album as a real co-writer (a couple of lyrics on SP doesn't count), and it's also considered the first of their "classic" albums and the "real" beginning of Kamelot. It's amazing how much difference he actually made.

Well, if Khan and Thomas weren't part of the band it wouldn't be Kamelot.

Khan is not only the voice of Kamelot, he's also a great musician. So I wouldn't listen to this band if he and Thomas weren't part of it. They are both talented musicians. And a prove of that are the olders albums.. they were crappy until Khan came and save us from cheesy power metal that could turn also into Tokio Hotel type of music. XD

Heh. As much as I admire and adore Khan's voice, I hiiiiiighly doubt that I'd listen to Kamelot (so much, at least...), if they made Tokio Hotel type of music.... :'D

I have to agree with Midrel, I would be lying if I said that khan's voice wasn't the reason I got into kamelot, but their music is still awesome and one of the best..

Im about the voice as much as you, its just that I need it to be accompanied by nice music too xD

I think Midrel that you listen music about the music, while others like myself listen to music for the voice. I don't say that music doesn't counts but it doesn't matter to me much. I would also love Kamelot if they'd make music, say like Tokio Hotel (wich I obviously hate), just because Khan is in it. But I can understand from the music part (with guitars at least) that Ghost Opera is a bit a less album, though lyrically and vocals are amazingly strong on it.

That is well and all, but I wouldn't listen to something just because Khan is in it. And that doesn't make me an hypocrite.

You’re all a bunch of hypocrites, always with the same “Kamelot-is-not-about-Khan” story. Kamelot is mainly about Khan (and Thomas, ofc). What makes Kamelot one of a kind is their wonderful/incredible/talented/amazing/awesome/greatest singer. When I heard Kamelot for the first time, the first thought I had was "OMFG, what an “eargasmic” voice this man has." Then I liked their music (which is not as all the generic metal power bands), then I realized how beautiful their lyrics were... and only then I learned to love to all members. So, to be clear: I would never listen Kamelot if Vanderbilt would be there. I didn’t mean to offend all of you when I said that about Glenn (and I didn’t know Glenn had plenty fans) but I usually don’t “cry” when a member of a band leaves it or gets fired; I didin’t do it with Tarja Turunen and I am not going to do it with Glenn..
