Kamelot is a magical, unfortunately underrated band ...

I hear the first songs and my Kamelot experience is back, when I heard a band many years ago who had a brilliant singer named Roy Khan and a kind of music that has made me always very much. Hard Rock mixed with keyboard parts ... Melodic / Power Metal it is called in the jargon. As rock music and passionate Depeche Mode fan the perfect mix for me. With enthusiasm and joy I then wanted to see my first Kamelot concert in Luxembourg ... like a bomb then hit the message that Roy Khan will leave for mysterious reasons the band. I was extremely sad, angry and disappointed. One of the best singers on this earth simply disappears so and will be replaced by a completely different type name Fabio Lione. I had been at the concert and my joy in places away, I thought the band was at the end ... but overall he has done live well.

As then known Tommy Karevik the new lead singer was is I recorded the message but in my opinion the chapter Kamelot was sealed with the departure of Roy Khan. I bought then still the plate Silverthorn and was at times surprised that they still make good music and the Karevik it has properly taken somewhere to very good. But I was not really impressed, I missed the last spark ... Kamelot for me was Roy Khan, I could not accept a new voice, some songs were just average.

Now therefore Haven ... to a new I thought I heard the preliminary songs and was surprised how much Karevik by Roy Khan sounded. At first I was even shocked, thought there are some secret comeback ... Kudos old Swede, so must Kamelot not sound even if you can now speak of Nachmache and imitating ... it interests me. The first song on the disc sound fresh, awesome and I like a lot better than on the Silverthorn me. For me one of the best music records of the year, very good mix ... Class woman Parts, top keyboard parts, guitars and drums anyway always awesome and an absolutely perfect singer. Too bad that Roy left the band did what I have to this day not completely digested but Tommy Karevik has done everything here on the album properly CLASS !!! Unfortunately, 2 rather marbled tracks on this album (Under Grey Skies, End of Innocence,) are so 4/5 stars
