Kamelot is a US-band who are playing European Power Metal. I wondered why there has not yet been a topic about them because I think that their music is amazing. They are one of the Metal Bands who I first listened to, and I think that they will be my favourite band forever! Their last two outputs were concept-albums about Faust. Especially "The Black Halo" is a great record. I hope that they will release their DVD soon and I have learned that they will record a new album already this year.

Yes, Kamelot is amazing.
I think the reason that there isn't a topic is partly due to the fact that they are more or less a lot more well known. I guess it's just a gimme that most people have heard of them.
Personally, I think Epica has to be my overall favorite album by them and yeah, I can't wait for the next one.

yeah I think most of the people here are familiar with Kamelot. The Black Halo is by far their best record IMO.

I like the whole Epica/Black halo concept, and would pick one of them, both are my favourite records.
As a live band, Kamelot is one of the best bands I've ever seen. With Oliver on keyboards, their line-up's complete, he does a great job on stage with them!
About the new album, this is latest news (posted July 25:th) from the site:
" Greetings from Wolfsburg, Germany! Home of Volkswagen, they are everywhere here. We are here working on the new songs for the upcoming album and followup to The Black Halo. It is going very very well on the new songs, It's incredibly hot here in Germany at the moment, even hotter than Florida where I live. We are already planning tour dates for Europe again that we hope to announce very soon. It will likely be Spring 2007 and we will unveil our biggest stage ever. I also have previewed some of the footage from the upcoming DVD and it looks really amazing. The artwork is nearly complete and our friend Mattias Norén in Sweden is working very hard on the whole booklet. As soon as we have an official release date you will hear it here first. Ok, more news coming soon! See you soon on the North American tour!
Thomas and Kamelot"
By the new, Kamelot is not all American, Roy Khan is from Norway (as I guess most of You already know), he was talking Swedish with us at Sweden Rock festival, that was nice, he's not too good at Swedish though. ^^
About the new guy, Oliver, anyone knows where he's from? Is he American as well?

I suppose he's German. For example, he already worked for Doro, and now he joined Kamelot.

He might be, though Oliver Palotai doesn't sound very German to me....
