!liar liar" please have as well Alissa White-Gluz (ft. Gus G) - Reason To Believe (Acoustic) .. she sang this music with clean voices and for me her voice is similar to lizzy from halestorm
respect to you for being honest about refilming, I actually found it quite interesting to hear you talk about some the stuff you missed during your first listen. technology may fail you sometimes but Chase never fails to put out amazing reactions to killer songs, appreciate you putting in the extra effort with this one!
These three singers have such good chemistry because they go way back... Back in 2012, when Tommy first joined Kamelot, Elize and Alissa went as guest vocalists when Kamelot joined Nightwish on their Imaginaerum World Tour in North America. And there happened the now famous incident when Nightwish broke up with their singer Anette and during that night, for one concert only, these two girls were asked to fill in, as lead singers. They had little to no time to prepare, so they performed many songs holding papers with the lyrics written on them... It's documented in the "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours" documentary (the 48 hour window was for Floor Jansen)
If you want to hear more of Alissa's clean vocals you could check out her band before Arch Enemy, "The Agonist". Panophobia is one of my personal favourites .
So it's Kamelot Monday, huh? I don't mind. In fact, I love it! Love this song, love this band, love Tommy as vocalist as much as I loved Roy, love Elize and Alissa too. Loved your reaction as always and most of all your honesty. We appreciate you, your knowledge, and all your pauses of course) Keep Kamelot reactions coming. Elizabeth next!
Personal vote for Kamelot is Elizabeth from the '06 show with Roy. Definitely a song that is improved by researching the story behind it. The story behind that song is fascinating. Amaranthe has alot of good stuff. My personal gateway to the band was 1.000.000 Lightyears so I guess I'd recommend that. It's a good show case of the band's formula and a lot of the band's strengths as a band. I'm no an Archenemy fan but my understanding is that if you want to hear Alissa sing clean vocals then you have to turn to Kamelot. The other one she sings in is Liar Liar which is another great Kamelot song.
She does do a few Kamelot songs with both growls and cleans, especially in live settings since she used to be a touring vocalist with them, but if you want a real showcase of her ability in clean, you’re best off going for her former band The Agonist. Great songs and pretty much all of them feature her using both sides of her voice. I’d recommend Thank You Pain, Trophy Kill, or Born Dead, Buried Alive. The only Archenemy song with any cleans is Reason To Believe, which also pretty great!
KAMELOT! Great review, even if technology failed the first go. For Alissa's clean vocals, definitely Liar Liar by Kamelot. Other Kamelot favorites include The Haunting feat. Simone Simons (Roy Kahn), Ghost Opera (Roy), r slow things down with Under Grey Skies (Tommy). Also echoing a few comments here with checking out Tommy's other band, Seventh Wonder, which is much more power metal.
CHASE CARNESON FIRST TIME LISTENING TO BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY LET'S GOOOOO!!!! ...all jokes aside I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy review type videos on your channel, as we've seen today there's a lot you can talk about, even with songs you might have heard before. Even if you yourself are super familiar with a song, you would still have your very unique perspective on the songs, your own way of listening to them and what they mean to you! Aaaaand it would give you a great chance to talk about some more your favourite artists for once as well ;)
i love how kamelot is an all-male band but they always bring in badass ladies to do the screaming/growling in their songs. such a cool reversal of what you usually see. also, as a classical pianist myself i can confirm that oliver palotai is an absolute MADMAN in those keys. some great amaranthe songs to start with would be "the nexus" or "365". i remember when that second one first came out i listened to it like a thousand times on repeat.
I am not trained in keys or music at all, but I've been a fan of Oliver since he joined Kamelot. Have you checked out his band Sons of Seasons? It's so sad that they haven't released anything since 201?
I’m sure you’ll check out more Kamelot now, so it’s time for you to check out Tommy’s other band, Seventh Wonder! They are alot more proggy than Kamelot! Alley Cat is a great introduction.
Hey Chase, have you reacted to any Ayreon songs yet (live or not)? The project features both Tommy Karevik and Floor Jansen amongst its guest singers and live performances. I think you'd absolutely love it!
Kamelot has been my favourite band since like 95. This makes me so happy. People may say Alissa cannot hold a candle to Angela in Arch Enemy, and in some cases I may even be tempted to agree, but she's such a good frontwoman in general. Elize's voice is wonderful. This song is extremely well written and DEFINITELY one of the very best "Tommy era" songs. Amazing reaction, well done.
14:07 - for more of Alissa's clean vocals check out Arch Enemy's "Reason to Believe". As for Amaranthe, they have just released a new single, "Archangel," which is worth checking out (their new album "Manifest" comes out this Friday, Oct 2); also "Strong" with Noora of Battle Beast is a great single. As suggested by others, "Liar Liar" is one of Kamelot's best singles, and it features some clean singing from Alissa. Other Kamelot suggestions: "Phantom Divine" (ft Lauren Hart).
Under your Blind Guardian video when you learned about Hansi Kürsch, I wrote a certain comment. Now that you know Tommy Karevik, I can repeat that comment : Hi Chase, now you can react to Ayreon - The Day The World Breaks Down and Ayreon Universe - Everybody Dies because you will recognize one more singer :-)
Definitely either "Reason to Believe" by Arch Enemy or "Panophobia" by The Agonist for her clean vocals. The latter offering a great look at her ability to jump in and out of the growls. Would also highly recommend checking out "Evolution" by Dreamstate, or "One By One" with Rickard Soderberg for more Elize outside of Amaranthe.
While there is a certain delight in seeing someone discover something for the first time and be surprised and awed, I think your analysis of music in general is so interesting that I'd love to hear you react/review music that you already know but feel you have something to say about, whatever music that might be.
I enjoyed your reactions and I enjoyed the (2nd-)reaction-review. You'll probably get more of the details when having heard the song at least once before. You should do whatever is easier for you and/or what you enjoy more. Thanks for not binning the reaction but having transformed it into something great. Have a damn good day ;-)
Not very familiar with Kamelot, I love this song tho. But Amaranthe I've listened to way more. All depends on what type of song you would like to hear. Fun thing about Amaranthe is that they have 3 vocalists, how they do that you'll have to check out yourself ;) "GG6" is one of their more heavier songs I'd say. "42nd all the way" cover of Sabaton's track (could do both in the same video potentially, I know people enjoy those kind of videos ) "Do or Die" featuring former Arch Enemy vocalist Angela Gossow (who is also their manager).. however two of their vocalists aren't in that one. Or you could do one of their newer tracks "Viral" or "Archangel" from their upcomming album Manifest :) Sorry for the wall of text, and thank you for all your reactions. I really enjoy them, they bring something new to the table. So keep up the good work :)
I think your honesty is one of many things that make people follow you, some friends says you pause more than any other reactor but still one of the best...
Thank you for being so honest and pure :) I’m glad we still get to see this ❤️ Coincidently it would be nice to know your thoughts on Amaranthe although i don’t know if there are many good live performances to check out. One of my favourite Amaranthe songs has to be one of their new album called Viral :) Reviews would be really cool with you because you really know what you are talking about :)
This was cool Chase, even though it was a second listen. Now you'll just have to go through each and every reaction to see if you missed anything 😂. Thanks for doing my suggestion!
I'd reccomend reacting to MaYaN - Saints Don't Die, The Rhythm of Freedom & War on Terror (that band is related to EPICA, btw). The lyrics are also an important part of the experience when it comes to that band.
Had to pause just to comment xD I found your channel thanks to my relatively new obsession with k-pop. I am a metalhead, rock and musical enthusiast originally, so finding that I REALLY love k-pop took me by surprise.. Anyway.. I then realized that you have reactions to all my favourite bands, except for my main love, Amaranthe. At the same time I was thinking I should reccomend them, was when you said you can't wait to dive into them. I can't wait!! Thanks for your wonderful reactions Chase!
Aaah that's so kind of you to say. Glad you're enjoying there and promise I'll get round to Amaranthe soon as I can. Glad to have you hear and appreciate the support..
@@ChaseCarneson wow! Thanks for the reply! I almost feel starstruck 🤩 I really enjoy your content. The way you approach the music and comment on it is very nice and interesting. I’m happy I found your channel. Can’t wait to follow along on your adventures in the world of music. You will have my continued support 🤘🏻💪🏻😄
So glad you're getting into this! Charlotte from Delain also appeared in this concert for the song "Under Grey Skies"..... Alissa growls in the background before she appears on stage..... Kamelot "Liar, Liar" with Alissa - growls and clean!... How about some Mrs Tommy Karevik?.... Kobra Paige. Recorded as Kobra and The Lotus. "Light Me Up", "Soldier", "Burn" and her cover of "Black Velvet"? Metal is Family. Really enjoying your Kamelot reactions. Thanks for the comments about keyboard/piano players too!
Great breakdown as always Chase... One of the best reactors out there in my book. If your going to do more Kamelot, I recommend "Elizabeth", the live version with Roy. It shows all the elements of Kamelot. As for the new singer Tommy, you should check out his other band called Seventh Wonder. They are a bit proggier then Kamelot. As for Amaranthe, start with "Hunger" and work your way up... Keep up the good work Chase...
Tommy is one of my favorite singers and the bass player lives near me in Kentucky. They are a great live band! You should also check out Tommy's prog band 7th Wonder. I was lucky to get to see them at Progpower USA last year.
Thank you so much for this reaction video, Chase. I love your reaction videos and your analysis. You´re doing great. I really appreciate your work. Keep up the great work, Chase :-).
Kamelot: Liar Liar or Phantom Divine (with Lauren Hart) Alissa clean vocals: Liar Liar. Hands of Gold or Tragedy of The Commons (Live at Paradiso with Delain) Amaranth: Do or Die (featuring Angela Gossow), Amaranthine, Archangel, Drop Dead Cynical
My opinion is if you come back for seconds then string both videos together, the fun of the initial reaction is the surprise element but the fun of the second is the in depth technical analysis. And, double the pauses is double the enjoyment!
Amaranthe is my most listened to band on spotify up until now, theyre something special, they literally cant make a bad song, theyve just had a new single out called archangel, maybe thats a good place to start, if ur going through some kamelot stuff id love to see ur breakdown of phantom divine live with lauren 😁 keep up the good work dude!
I would recommend listening to the Agonist - “Thank You Pain” - Alyssa’s old band to hear some of her best clean vocals. I would recommend 1000 Light Years Away for a good starting point for Amaranthe
Bassist is probably in drop C tuning. Liar Liar from Kamelot has some of Alyssa's cleans. Great tune! Also my favorite Amaranthe tune is Maximize. Great upbeat song.
"Hunger", "The Nexus" or "365" from Amaranthe are great. And, for me as a "Non-Musician", you explain it very well (to "understand the music better" than before). So everything is okay for me - you're doin a great job ;-) (whether it is your first or second reaction of a song).
For Alissa's vocals check out The Agonist - Thank You, Pain or ...and Our Eulogies Sang Us to Sleep. She does growls and clean. For an amazing sound with her clean only vocals check out Swan Lake, Op. 20 also by The Agonist. They were her band before Arch Enemy.
Thanks for doing this reaction (again) Chase. Its one of my favourite Kamelot performances. In fact I recently got this concert on BluRay/DVD/CD as a present for my Birthday and its an amazing concert. Have not had the pleasure of seeing either Kamelot or Nightwish (yet hopefully next year post Covid for Nightwish as I have had a ticket for nearly a year already). Can only imagine what it must have been like seeing Nightwish with Kamelot as the support act a few years ago!! What a show that must have been!!🤘
This is just such a feast! I love the music, feast for my ears, but while it doesn't relate to talent, the 3 singers are also physically attractive, so even for my eyes it's a feast. Then there's the joy of having my brain stimulated by a reactor that knows what he's talking about. Much like with Nightwish, I like 2 of the 3 singers they've had equally and I feel no need to pick. (Sorry Mark, sorry Anette). Used to have this thing with my dad where each year we'd go to one of their shows, each time a different city/country and made a weekend out of it. Great memories of Kamelot and with my dad because of that, and anybody that can appreciate the band is awesome in my eyes. I actually have a letter written by Roy Khan, still one of my most favorite possessions. Especially because it's so personal, it's not just a signature, he took the time to read, think and respond. Sorry, this wasn't super on topic. Just, thank you Chase, for taking the time to react to this genuinely!
Great video, Chase! Some fun facts: - Simone Simons, the frontwoman of Epica, is married to Oliver Palotai, Kamelot's keyboardist. They have a son named Vincent and he shares my birthday. - Epica got their band name from Kamelot's album of the same name. Epica was originally called Sahara Dust. - Alissa-White Gluz can sing some incredible cleans. You can hear those in another Kamelot song she's featured in called "Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy)". - Arch Enemy isn't known for having clean vocals at all. I'm not sure if Alissa has any clean vocals in the band. Her former band, The Agonist, definitely showcased her clean vocals a lot. "Thank You Pain" is an iconic song from her time in The Agonist that has a lot of cleans you'd enjoy. - Amaranthe is about to release their upcoming 6th studio album this Friday. They are from Sweden. Their entire discography is full of absolute bangers. I'd consider them hit machines just like BAND-MAID. I'd recommend checking out their newest single that they dropped last week called "Archangel". Get ready to fall down the Amaranthe rabbit hole!
Elize and Alissa have been working as backup singers on Kamelot tours since 2012 at the latest. It's nice to see they've, for lack of a better term, "graduated" and are now returning as celebrated guests. Kamelot was supporting Nightwish when Anette got sick, and Elize and Alissa fronted Nightwish for a show, complete with lyric sheets in hand.
Wonderful stuff is technology, ain't it? Thanks for being straight with us and re-recording the video, I know it must have been frustrating but I appreciate it.
I liked the review format. Especially on technical songs, there is always things people miss the first time. Songs like this one, technical prog symphonics, I think are great to review with a 2nd listen to.
@@luisnunes2010 To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of RoF, but I did fall in love with Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and Turilli / Lione Rhapsody. Good songs, though.
I'm so glad you didn't scrap this and decided to do it (again), despite it not being a first reaction! This was great, especially because you noticed stuff you missed the first time! Very cool, thank you! This might not be my favorite Kamelot song, but it sure is fun! I'm still voting for the Elizabeth trilogy (from the older live DVD) as the next one! :)
For Alissa's clean vocals, the best place to look is from The Agonist's first 3 albums. "Thank You, Pain" is a good place to start! Re Amaranthe, classics like Hunger, The Nexus, or Drop Dead Cynical are probably great entries into their catalog, although admittedly a lot of their stuff sounds more or less the same so you could start pretty much anywhere!
Greetings from Finland & thanks for this reaction analysis. Kamelot is like Nightwish in many ways, one being that the fans are still divided about who is the better vocalist.
This was great! I'm really glad you've experienced both Kamelot vocalists now, and the 2nd listen worked just as well so thanks for doing this even with the camera issue. Nostalgia leads me to listen more to the Roy era of Kamelot, but Tommy is a very good singer that brings his own style as well. I'm pumped for you to react to Amaranthe as they are very unique in how they use 3 vocalists and incorporate lots of synth elements. Viral and Archangel are new songs from their upcoming album worth checking out. The Nexus, Digital World, and Maximize are all great songs with music videos as well. Lots of solid material to go through with them. Cheers!
Nice reaction Chase! I really liked it! What about trying another similar band? I think you'll really like them too: DELAIN. I know you are a Marko's voice fan, so you can maybe start with The Gathering were he features :)
Kamelot.... My favorite band next to Nightwish. I saw this show half year later in Nijmegen "Doornroosje" (also Netherlands) with Lauren Heart instead of Allissa and Elize. Still Amazing!!!!!!!
Hi Chase! I first came across your channel when you reacted to Ghost Love Score (as one does) but stayed for your great dissections of songs and your technical knowledge of how things are done and put together. I know you tend to react to mainly metal/rock, but I would love to see your reaction to some Wardruna (Voluspá, maybe Raido or even Helvegen). Einar knows how to write incredibly powerful music and I would love to hear what you have to say about it. Love your reacts tho, keep them coming!🤘🏻🥰🤘🏻
Chase Carneson I’m so excited to see what you pick first and how you react 😊 if you go for Voluspá, I’d recomend the skaldic version, not the Vikings one (both good, but the skaldic hits different, seems more authentic somehow). Greetings from Slovenia🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey brother. So good as always. Amaranthe, arch enemy,epica,kamelot, nightwish, wintersun, and orbit culture have all made me love music again and I'm so glad you're finding them all. So, I did something over the weekend because I was curious. I went back and watched your first reaction to ghost love score. It's interesting, and I'd be curious, now that you have been on this journey, how you would react now. All that being said... Kamelot: March of mephisto Amaranthe : Gg666 Arch enemy: The world is yours
totally fine with the review/reaction format. If you wait to hear every song you want to listen to until you can do a first time hearing reaction video to it, we are all going to be very old, and that makes me sad. Put up what you want mate. I'll watch.
Love to hear your pause breakdown. No matter if it's a repeat or no. Kamelot are perhaps one if the great melody bands, so their chorus sound is great! So people will tell you to do the haunting and liar liar but I also love the ballads like anthem or under grey skies (with Charlotte from Delain. A band I'd love to hear you react to.) I'll also chuck in another Sonata Arctica request for more keys vs guitar solos. Amaranthe songs to reccomend are 1000 light years away or for something more ballady endlessly is great! Also as a live aside, Tommy is so charismatic on stage. My husband pointed out that it was one of the few gigs he'd been to where the women outnumbered the men and well... there's a good reason!
From someone who was there live at the front row...I am glad that you found my all time favorite band, aside of Nightwish. Love your reviews and I hope that you will do more of Kamelot in the future. Next Kamelot song: Liar Liar live (includes Alyssa clean vocals) Next Arch Enemy song: Reason to believe (also with Alyssa clean vocals) Next Amaranthe song: Archangel or Strong
If you want some clean vocals from Alissa then I recommend listening to The Agonist (her old band), as for songs, I'd go with either "Panophobia", "Thank you pain", "And their eulogies sang me to sleep" or the song that got me into them "Business suits and combat boots". All the sings have a mix of clean and harsh vocals
If you're interested in Alissa's earlier stuff, you should check out Panophobia from The Agonist, her first band. It's an absolute banger and you get a good sample of her clean vocals along with her screams.
Tommy Also has large part on Ayreon's new album Transitus. Which is Victorian gothic horror prog rock concept album. The most fun song is Get out! Now!
Hi Chase, I have an idea: When first time listening to a band that's completely new to you, do an "unprepared/blind" first reaction just in case there is some shock factor. :-) When listening to a new song of a band you already know, do a prepared analysis like this one. This could be the best of both worlds for your audience and less stress for you.
This one was definitely a good one. Always looking forward to your reactions even though i’m not really the biggest fan of metal, its cool to see all the things you have to add on. Have a damn good day 🤟
If you want to hear alissa's clean vocals you have to listen to Kamelot - liar liar. Its an amazing song and her cleans are amazing.
also in delain's The Tragedy of the Commons live at the Paradiso
“Liar Liar” would be a good best of both worlds
'Reason to believe' by arch enemy is also a good one to get a broader view on her vocal abilities
Or in her old band the agonist.
Love the agonist. Liar liar may be my favorite kamelot song. At least my top 2 songs.
"Liar, Liar" is The song where you can hear Alissa's clean vocals.
And "Hunger" or "Nexus" from Amaranthe.
!liar liar" please
have as well Alissa White-Gluz (ft. Gus G) - Reason To Believe (Acoustic) .. she sang this music with clean voices and for me her voice is similar to lizzy from halestorm
This, BUT the music video edits parts out for brevity, so I recommend a lyric video.
You're now ready for Ayreon : )
For sure!
I agree!
However, due to recent events, I can no longer think Ayreon without hearing in my own head "A-Ayreon!"
yes please to Ayreon
maybe valley of the queens first. the day .. is a big boy for a first introduction
I was about to comment just that. Will do it myself too for extra emphasis :)
respect to you for being honest about refilming, I actually found it quite interesting to hear you talk about some the stuff you missed during your first listen.
technology may fail you sometimes but Chase never fails to put out amazing reactions to killer songs, appreciate you putting in the extra effort with this one!

Hey man, we're here for your commentary, so doesn't really matter if it's a reaction or review 👍

If you want to hear more of Alissa's clean vocals you could check out her band before Arch Enemy, "The Agonist". Panophobia is one of my personal favourites .
Also Arch Enemy "Reason to believe"
+1 for Panophobia.
Her live performances (at Paradiso) on Hands of Gold and Tragedy of The Commons with Delain. Amazing... Also Charlotte Wessels.
"business suits and combat boots" and "thank you pain" i would say are better than "panophobia" from the agonist
For Amaranthe, Check out their most recent single, Archangel. Countdown is also excellent. You can hear Alyssa's cleans on Kamelot's song Liar Liar.
So it's Kamelot Monday, huh? I don't mind. In fact, I love it! Love this song, love this band, love Tommy as vocalist as much as I loved Roy, love Elize and Alissa too. Loved your reaction as always and most of all your honesty. We appreciate you, your knowledge, and all your pauses of course) Keep Kamelot reactions coming. Elizabeth next!
The Elizabeth Trilogy LIVE!!!! Then The Haunting with Simone (live)!
This lockdown i really dug back into Kamelot's discography and i learned to appreciate the Tommy era and really like where the band has gone.
@@rocioiribe5841 I'm glad the lock down had this effect on your Kamelot experience, because they are so special in all their era's.
Personal vote for Kamelot is Elizabeth from the '06 show with Roy. Definitely a song that is improved by researching the story behind it. The story behind that song is fascinating.
Amaranthe has alot of good stuff. My personal gateway to the band was 1.000.000 Lightyears so I guess I'd recommend that. It's a good show case of the band's formula and a lot of the band's strengths as a band.

Sorry for the wall of text, and thank you for all your reactions. I really enjoy them, they bring something new to the table. So keep up the good work :)
YES IM SO GLAD YOU DID KAMELOT, gona watch ina bit!
I think your honesty is one of many things that make people follow you, some friends says you pause more than any other reactor but still one of the best...
Thank you for being so honest and pure :) I’m glad we still get to see this ❤️
Coincidently it would be nice to know your thoughts on Amaranthe although i don’t know if there are many good live performances to check out. One of my favourite Amaranthe songs has to be one of their new album called Viral :)

This was cool Chase, even though it was a second listen. Now you'll just have to go through each and every reaction to see if you missed anything 😂. Thanks for doing my suggestion!
Kamelot w/ Charlotte Wessels - Under Grey Skies (Live)
If you want Alissa's clean vocals with Arch Enemy, check out Reason to Believe. It's a killer song and definitely different for them.
I'd reccomend reacting to MaYaN - Saints Don't Die, The Rhythm of Freedom & War on Terror (that band is related to EPICA, btw). The lyrics are also an important part of the experience when it comes to that band.
Yes !!
Keep commenting that. I've been telling him about MaYaN !!
@@QazwerDave Has he replied to you?!
@@blivion7203 Not yet.
@@QazwerDave We must keep recommending it to him... Likes can make our comments more visible. Give your own comments a like, too!
Had to pause just to comment xD I found your channel thanks to my relatively new obsession with k-pop. I am a metalhead, rock and musical enthusiast originally, so finding that I REALLY love k-pop took me by surprise.. Anyway.. I then realized that you have reactions to all my favourite bands, except for my main love, Amaranthe. At the same time I was thinking I should reccomend them, was when you said you can't wait to dive into them. I can't wait!! Thanks for your wonderful reactions Chase!
Aaah that's so kind of you to say. Glad you're enjoying there and promise I'll get round to Amaranthe soon as I can. Glad to have you hear and appreciate the support..
@@ChaseCarneson wow! Thanks for the reply! I almost feel starstruck 🤩 I really enjoy your content. The way you approach the music and comment on it is very nice and interesting. I’m happy I found your channel. Can’t wait to follow along on your adventures in the world of music. You will have my continued support 🤘🏻💪🏻😄
kamelot is amazing live. if you ever get a chance to see them... please do! you absolutely will not regret it
Chase, Enjoy your reactions/reviews, always a high point of the day.
So glad you're getting into this! Charlotte from Delain also appeared in this concert for the song "Under Grey Skies"..... Alissa growls in the background before she appears on stage..... Kamelot "Liar, Liar" with Alissa - growls and clean!... How about some Mrs Tommy Karevik?.... Kobra Paige. Recorded as Kobra and The Lotus. "Light Me Up", "Soldier", "Burn" and her cover of "Black Velvet"? Metal is Family. Really enjoying your Kamelot reactions. Thanks for the comments about keyboard/piano players too!
Great breakdown as always Chase... One of the best reactors out there in my book. If your going to do more Kamelot, I recommend "Elizabeth", the live version with Roy. It shows all the elements of Kamelot. As for the new singer Tommy, you should check out his other band called Seventh Wonder. They are a bit proggier then Kamelot. As for Amaranthe, start with "Hunger" and work your way up... Keep up the good work Chase...
Tommy is one of my favorite singers and the bass player lives near me in Kentucky. They are a great live band! You should also check out Tommy's prog band 7th Wonder. I was lucky to get to see them at Progpower USA last year.
Thank you so much for this reaction video, Chase. I love your reaction videos and your analysis. You´re doing great. I really appreciate your work. Keep up the great work, Chase :-).
Kameloooot 💜 You should check out Tommy's other band, "Seventh Wonder". Anything from their "The Great Escape" album. 👏
Long Way Home has me crying every time.
i can second this singer, band, and album recommendation!! One of the best albums front to back that i've ever heard!
The first time I heard them, it was in 2012 when they were touring with Nightwish. Made a total fan of me that night. Incredible live show.
Such a fan of Tommy 🖤 loved your reaction/review. Listen to his other band Seventh Wonder ✨ They are in a league of their own 👌😎
Thanks for the reaction...and both singers sang for the Nightwish...:) and they are excellent friends with Floor.
Release the blurred version !!
I'm here for the surprises !!
Absolutely incredible vocal trio. You can tell that they work together a fair bit with the way they interact on stage.
As for where to start with Amaranthe, go with their new single Archangel, sums them up perfectly.
I second this!
Do Or Die too... Angela Gossow is always worth a listen
Kamelot: Liar Liar or Phantom Divine (with Lauren Hart)
Alissa clean vocals: Liar Liar. Hands of Gold or Tragedy of The Commons (Live at Paradiso with Delain)
Amaranth: Do or Die (featuring Angela Gossow), Amaranthine, Archangel, Drop Dead Cynical
My opinion is if you come back for seconds then string both videos together, the fun of the initial reaction is the surprise element but the fun of the second is the in depth technical analysis. And, double the pauses is double the enjoyment!
Thank you for this reaction. Definitely continue exploring Kamelot! I seen them live in New Orleans. Even better in person!
Amaranthe is my most listened to band on spotify up until now, theyre something special, they literally cant make a bad song, theyve just had a new single out called archangel, maybe thats a good place to start, if ur going through some kamelot stuff id love to see ur breakdown of phantom divine live with lauren 😁 keep up the good work dude!
I am so glad you did this one. I love it so much and you are great. Keep on!
I would recommend listening to the Agonist - “Thank You Pain” - Alyssa’s old band to hear some of her best clean vocals.
I would recommend 1000 Light Years Away for a good starting point for Amaranthe
Bassist is probably in drop C tuning. Liar Liar from Kamelot has some of Alyssa's cleans. Great tune! Also my favorite Amaranthe tune is Maximize. Great upbeat song.
"Hunger", "The Nexus" or "365" from Amaranthe are great. And, for me as a "Non-Musician", you explain it very well (to "understand the music better" than before). So everything is okay for me - you're doin a great job ;-) (whether it is your first or second reaction of a song).
For Alissa's vocals check out The Agonist - Thank You, Pain or ...and Our Eulogies Sang Us to Sleep. She does growls and clean. For an amazing sound with her clean only vocals check out Swan Lake, Op. 20 also by The Agonist. They were her band before Arch Enemy.
Thanks for doing this reaction (again) Chase. Its one of my favourite Kamelot performances. In fact I recently got this concert on BluRay/DVD/CD as a present for my Birthday and its an amazing concert. Have not had the pleasure of seeing either Kamelot or Nightwish (yet hopefully next year post Covid for Nightwish as I have had a ticket for nearly a year already). Can only imagine what it must have been like seeing Nightwish with Kamelot as the support act a few years ago!! What a show that must have been!!🤘
Kamelot is one band that I feel, works very hard for their money; people definitely are getting moneys worth at the concerts!
This is just such a feast! I love the music, feast for my ears, but while it doesn't relate to talent, the 3 singers are also physically attractive, so even for my eyes it's a feast. Then there's the joy of having my brain stimulated by a reactor that knows what he's talking about. Much like with Nightwish, I like 2 of the 3 singers they've had equally and I feel no need to pick. (Sorry Mark, sorry Anette).
Used to have this thing with my dad where each year we'd go to one of their shows, each time a different city/country and made a weekend out of it. Great memories of Kamelot and with my dad because of that, and anybody that can appreciate the band is awesome in my eyes. I actually have a letter written by Roy Khan, still one of my most favorite possessions. Especially because it's so personal, it's not just a signature, he took the time to read, think and respond.
Sorry, this wasn't super on topic. Just, thank you Chase, for taking the time to react to this genuinely!
The physical aspect for me is one of the reasons I love Tommy ^^
Awesomeness ------Thank You Chase !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, Chase! Some fun facts:
- Simone Simons, the frontwoman of Epica, is married to Oliver Palotai, Kamelot's keyboardist. They have a son named Vincent and he shares my birthday.
- Epica got their band name from Kamelot's album of the same name. Epica was originally called Sahara Dust.
- Alissa-White Gluz can sing some incredible cleans. You can hear those in another Kamelot song she's featured in called "Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy)".
- Arch Enemy isn't known for having clean vocals at all. I'm not sure if Alissa has any clean vocals in the band. Her former band, The Agonist, definitely showcased her clean vocals a lot. "Thank You Pain" is an iconic song from her time in The Agonist that has a lot of cleans you'd enjoy.
- Amaranthe is about to release their upcoming 6th studio album this Friday. They are from Sweden. Their entire discography is full of absolute bangers. I'd consider them hit machines just like BAND-MAID. I'd recommend checking out their newest single that they dropped last week called "Archangel". Get ready to fall down the Amaranthe rabbit hole!
You said everything I wanted to say, so I could just go with yay! Thank you.
Elize and Alissa have been working as backup singers on Kamelot tours since 2012 at the latest. It's nice to see they've, for lack of a better term, "graduated" and are now returning as celebrated guests. Kamelot was supporting Nightwish when Anette got sick, and Elize and Alissa fronted Nightwish for a show, complete with lyric sheets in hand.
Wonderful stuff is technology, ain't it? Thanks for being straight with us and re-recording the video, I know it must have been frustrating but I appreciate it.
Kamalot also sings a duet with Simone Simons from EPICA . Her huisband is the keyboard player in this band.
I'm subscribing just for your honesty. Bravo sir...
I appreciate that! Thank you and welcome.
Bro. How do we keep releasing videos of the same band on the same day without planning this out? Hahahaha
I liked the review format. Especially on technical songs, there is always things people miss the first time. Songs like this one, technical prog symphonics, I think are great to review with a 2nd listen to.
I would also recommend reacting to a song by Turilli / Lione Rhapsody. Zero Gravity & Phoenix Rising are great songs with inspirational lyrics too!
Let's have Emerald Sword or Dawn of Victory first. I don't think Chase is familiar with Rhapsody of Fire. 👌🔥😋
@@luisnunes2010 To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of RoF, but I did fall in love with Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and Turilli / Lione Rhapsody. Good songs, though.
@@blivion7203 It's just a first things first kind of thing... though I might be biased because I love Rhapsody. 👍
lets have some Rhapsody!!
@@adamhaywood4808 Dawn of Victory, official live ruclips.net/video/rXlZZGrbEGU/видео.html
I'm so glad you didn't scrap this and decided to do it (again), despite it not being a first reaction! This was great, especially because you noticed stuff you missed the first time! Very cool, thank you!
This might not be my favorite Kamelot song, but it sure is fun! I'm still voting for the Elizabeth trilogy (from the older live DVD) as the next one! :)
I've only heard one or two other songs from Kamelot, but I like it a lot. I really like Tommy's sound.
For Alissa's clean vocals, the best place to look is from The Agonist's first 3 albums. "Thank You, Pain" is a good place to start!
Re Amaranthe, classics like Hunger, The Nexus, or Drop Dead Cynical are probably great entries into their catalog, although admittedly a lot of their stuff sounds more or less the same so you could start pretty much anywhere!
I freaking love this band! I jam them in my car all the time! Great reaction! Keep rockin’ it out! 🤘🏻❤️
Greetings from Finland & thanks for this reaction analysis. Kamelot is like Nightwish in many ways, one being that the fans are still divided about who is the better vocalist.
That is the perfect way to handle this, though you don't need me to tell you that. Love Kamelot.
Today is Kamelot day. Let's have Rhapsody day sometime. Talk about metal keys. Or Angra.
This was great! I'm really glad you've experienced both Kamelot vocalists now, and the 2nd listen worked just as well so thanks for doing this even with the camera issue. Nostalgia leads me to listen more to the Roy era of Kamelot, but Tommy is a very good singer that brings his own style as well.
I'm pumped for you to react to Amaranthe as they are very unique in how they use 3 vocalists and incorporate lots of synth elements. Viral and Archangel are new songs from their upcoming album worth checking out. The Nexus, Digital World, and Maximize are all great songs with music videos as well. Lots of solid material to go through with them. Cheers!
Big love to you Chase for reacting to this
OMG OMG OMG you and Tank both did Kamelot! Happy birthday to me! (It's not my birthday)
Where's Kelvin so we can nerd out about this?!
Nice reaction Chase! I really liked it!
What about trying another similar band? I think you'll really like them too: DELAIN. I know you are a Marko's voice fan, so you can maybe start with The Gathering were he features :)
Kamelot.... My favorite band next to Nightwish. I saw this show half year later in Nijmegen "Doornroosje" (also Netherlands) with Lauren Heart instead of Allissa and Elize.
Still Amazing!!!!!!!
Really great video - loved your commentary. Very enjoyable.
I really think that you should react to some of the longer songs by Kamelot with Roy, the previous one doesn't do him justice.
Great reaction as always, plus rather cool to see a concert pass by I was actually at (and took place in my current hometown). ;-)
I am so happy you're reacting to Kamelot. Definitely do phantom divine from the same show, please!
Hi Chase! I first came across your channel when you reacted to Ghost Love Score (as one does) but stayed for your great dissections of songs and your technical knowledge of how things are done and put together. I know you tend to react to mainly metal/rock, but I would love to see your reaction to some Wardruna (Voluspá, maybe Raido or even Helvegen). Einar knows how to write incredibly powerful music and I would love to hear what you have to say about it.
Love your reacts tho, keep them coming!🤘🏻🥰🤘🏻
Open to everything here. I appreciate the kind words and will definitely give them a look.
Chase Carneson I’m so excited to see what you pick first and how you react 😊 if you go for Voluspá, I’d recomend the skaldic version, not the Vikings one (both good, but the skaldic hits different, seems more authentic somehow). Greetings from Slovenia🤘🏻🤘🏻
Amaranth's album Helix was great. I recommend tracks: 365, Countdown, GG6, Helix, and Inferno from that album. Cheers
Hey brother. So good as always.
Amaranthe, arch enemy,epica,kamelot, nightwish, wintersun, and orbit culture have all made me love music again and I'm so glad you're finding them all.
So, I did something over the weekend because I was curious. I went back and watched your first reaction to ghost love score. It's interesting, and I'd be curious, now that you have been on this journey, how you would react now.
All that being said...
Kamelot:
March of mephisto
Amaranthe :
Gg666
Arch enemy:
The world is yours
For alyssa's clean vocals you can check out her work with The Agonist. "thank you pain" is my favorite song by them
totally fine with the review/reaction format. If you wait to hear every song you want to listen to until you can do a first time hearing reaction video to it, we are all going to be very old, and that makes me sad. Put up what you want mate. I'll watch.
Honestly thank you for saying this.
Love to hear your pause breakdown. No matter if it's a repeat or no. Kamelot are perhaps one if the great melody bands, so their chorus sound is great!
So people will tell you to do the haunting and liar liar but I also love the ballads like anthem or under grey skies (with Charlotte from Delain. A band I'd love to hear you react to.) I'll also chuck in another Sonata Arctica request for more keys vs guitar solos. Amaranthe songs to reccomend are 1000 light years away or for something more ballady endlessly is great!
Also as a live aside, Tommy is so charismatic on stage. My husband pointed out that it was one of the few gigs he'd been to where the women outnumbered the men and well... there's a good reason!
Great analysis
From someone who was there live at the front row...I am glad that you found my all time favorite band, aside of Nightwish. Love your reviews and I hope that you will do more of Kamelot in the future.
Next Kamelot song: Liar Liar live (includes Alyssa clean vocals)
Next Arch Enemy song: Reason to believe (also with Alyssa clean vocals)
Next Amaranthe song: Archangel or Strong
Now they get Lauren Hart from Once Human doing both the growls and the clean female vocals. She's super good too and it's impressive as hell.
If you want some clean vocals from Alissa then I recommend listening to The Agonist (her old band), as for songs, I'd go with either "Panophobia", "Thank you pain", "And their eulogies sang me to sleep" or the song that got me into them "Business suits and combat boots". All the sings have a mix of clean and harsh vocals
Kamalot are true Veteran professionals, always sound perfect ,always a great show🤘 the tour with Kobra on guest vocals was obviously special 💜💜💜
If you're interested in Alissa's earlier stuff, you should check out Panophobia from The Agonist, her first band. It's an absolute banger and you get a good sample of her clean vocals along with her screams.
I Saw this line up warming up for Nightwish long time ago. Good stuff..
maybe starting a new trend like "2nd listening" where you know what to expect and can give even more details.
Tommy Also has large part on Ayreon's new album Transitus.
Which is Victorian gothic horror prog rock concept album.
The most fun song is Get out! Now!
Phantom Divine live from the same show is one I'd recommend - different guest but an equally great performance.
Hi Chase, I have an idea:
When first time listening to a band that's completely new to you, do an "unprepared/blind" first reaction just in case there is some shock factor. :-)
When listening to a new song of a band you already know, do a prepared analysis like this one.
This could be the best of both worlds for your audience and less stress for you.
This one was definitely a good one. Always looking forward to your reactions even though i’m not really the biggest fan of metal, its cool to see all the things you have to add on. Have a damn good day 🤟
He is so theatrical and dramatic with his voice! i love it! :D
