KAMELOT: New Album Title Revealed - July 18, 2012
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=176919
American/German/Swedish symphonic metallers KAMELOT have set "Silverthorn" as
the title of their new album, due on September 25 (one day earlier
internationally) via Steamhammer/SPV. The CD will mark the band's first
release with new singer Tommy Karevik, the 30-year-old Swede who previously
fronted SEVENTH WONDER (a group that he is still a member of).
In a brand new interview with RockLiveBG, KAMELOT keyboardist Oliver Palotai
stated about the band's new vocalist, "[Tommy] was already with us on some
tour dates as a guest singer, and he was singing on one or two songs. And in
the past year, we were considering which singer to take. I was strongly on
Tommy's side because he made a huge impression on me. Personality. of course.
6is really important. and he is a little bit introverted and I like this
'Scandinavian feel' about him and he fits KAMELOT really well."
He continued, "The final decision for him was sending in vocals, lyrics and
recorded melody on a ballad that I wrote which is on the album. And it was so
great and impressive. We all had goosebumps and when we heard that for the
first time we knew immediately that was 'it.' He wrote most of the vocal
melodies in the album also."
On the topic of the upcoming CD, Palotai said, "The cover was done by Stephan
Heilemann. He also did covers for EPICA and my other band, SONS OF SEASONS.
He is one of my best buddies, living in the neighborhood, and in my opinion,
he is one of the greatest designers in the whole world. The amount of songs
is ... I think 9 or 10 without the interludes. . . It's a concept album and
it has a story. In the special edition you will get a little book where the
story is described. All the songs will be around the story. It will be
something like [2005's] 'The Black Halo'.
Regarding how the upcoming CD compares to 2010's "Poetry For The Poisoned",
Oliver said, "To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of 'Poetry For The
Poisoned'. For me, 'The Black Halo' is a bit like a reference also when I
produce bands in my studio. So we wanted to go back to 'The Black Halo' but
also include modern elements, which we included since then. You will never
hear from a band, Our new record sucks,' but this record is a real killer and
brings KAMELOT back on track. It is exactly what I wanted, and I'm really
happy with it. I hope the fans will like it as well."
KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood previously stated about Karevik: "We had
around 800 candidates for the vacant position, among them a number of really
renowned musicians, and having to reject them really wasn't easy."
In KAMELOT's search for a new singer, Youngblood found YouTube to be an
amazing tool. "I listened to a clip of a studio production featuring Tommy
and have to confess that his performance really amazed me," he said. "His
approach to melodies and themes suits KAMELOT perfectly, and during our
European shows we had plenty of opportunity to find out what a great guy he
is."
Tommy first appeared as one of the guest singers on KAMELOT's very successful
2011 Pandemonium World Tour.
Youngblood on the style and content of the forthcoming KAMELOT concept album:
"The new songs sound more symphonic and melodic than our last two studio
recordings. The material brings to mind albums such as 'Karma' (2001) and
'The Black Halo' (2005). In addition, this will be the best production that
KAMELOT have ever delivered. Because while other acts tend to opt for
low-budget productions due to the difficult market situation, we have gone
the opposite way: the new album will be a real statement, in terms of our
compositions as well as in terms of our sound."
KAMELOT will support Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH on a North
American tour in September and October.
KAMELOT's recently completed North American, South American and European
tours featured guest singer Fabio Lione of RHAPSODY OF FIRE following the
departure of KAMELOT's longtime frontman, Roy Khan.
新主唱、新專輯、新氣象
