Thomas Youngblood on the upcoming tour:
“KamNation get ready for our return to Europe and first taste for the UK of the Awaken The World Tour!! We are incredibly excited about this package, all of the support bands have been on my wish list for a while now. I am sure we will have amazing memories for the fans and all the band members after this landmark tour in Europe and the UK!”
Melissa Bonny of Ad Infinitum adds:
“We are excited to join Kamelot on this exciting European tour and even more so with the participation of our friends and tour mates from Blackbriar. Completed by Frozen Crown, this package promesses an epic experience for all the fans of symphonic and melodic metal who will join the party!”
Frozen Crown state:
“We are delighted to announce we’re joining Kamelot on their European tour 2024. This is a super exciting news for us, not only because of the privilege to open for one of the bands that influenced our music and lyrics.
But also cause we get to share the stage with Ad Infinitum and Blackbriar as well, making this our first “full Napalm” tour after joining our new label. We can’t wait to be part of this!
See you guys on the road in October!”
Kamelot is a band we’ve been looking up to for so long, and we feel honored to join them on their tour. We’ve never had the pleasure of meeting them before, just as we never met Frozen Crown, and we can’t wait to do so! We did have the pleasure of being tour buddies with Ad Infinitum last year, and we’re looking forward to continuing these unforgettable times! We can’t wait for these new adventures, see you on the road!”
KAMELOT‘s latest album, The Awakening, debuted at #9 on the official German album charts, and connected with fans and critics alike – touted by many as the best late-era KAMELOT release to date.
The album enters the band’s legacy as their most massive and diverse offering yet – mixing symphonic, gothic, melodic, progressive and power metal styles while yielding some of the heaviest tracks in the band’s history.
Having 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, #24 German album charts), and most recently 2018’s acclaimed The Shadow Theory (#13 German album charts), KAMELOT‘s intense brand of ultramodern gothic and symphonic theatricality is amplified further and with more emotionality than ever on The Awakening.
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 Tibbetts, 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 cellist Tina Guo.
The Awakening features crystal clear modern production helmed by the band and longtime producer Sascha Paeth, plus mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen of Hansen Studios.
