More Kamelot please!!! Forever, When the Lights are Down, The Great Pandemonium! All songs from Khan's era are awesome. One of the best metal singers of all time.
Since i heared him for the first time back in '91 in the album "The last sunset" i noticed his voice. 2 years later "Roll the fire" became my favor song ever. Still now, after 25 years i'm in love with that song and his voice too.
@@sadaka201 I think when I wrote this I was on a Kamelot binge lol. I love Nightwish too, maybe for different things. Nightwish sounds way "bigger" than Kamelot with their orchestras and opera music. I like how Kamelot is a bit more traditionally rock sounding in a few of their songs though. They do different things, so it's hard to say if one of them,is objectively better.
You talk about it being a great song which obviously it is, but guys it just DOES NOT COMPARE to listening to the whole album from start to finish. It gives so much more context as to what Roy is expressing in the lyrics. It is the climax of the whole album (and in fact double-album if you count Epica) so everything has been leading up to this. It pretty much is a play as well - it's based off Goethe's book 'Faust', but also at the start of The Black Halo there's a hidden track where a couple are late to the theatre, and the orchestra is tuning up. There's even a couple of epilogue tracks after Memento Mori bringing the listener back to reality - it is New Year's Eve and the listeners were simply watching a play. Then there's a reflective song at the end called Serenade about life being like a play, a start and a finish with various Acts. Such an amazing deep album, probably my favourite of all time.
Absolutely this. It's the culmination of a 2 album story. So much is lost without knowing the full story. I'm sure you know, but Epica the album is the protagonist fall, Black Halo is the redemption arc.
Thanks guys! loved it. I used to have long flowing locks in my 20s and doing the windmill headbanging was fun, but now it's just regular short hair haha. This song is a true timeless masterpiece in my opinion, and only gets better with each listen, even after 15 years it still blows me away. Roy Khan is an unbelievable vocalist, and no one has the mix of voice, passion, grace, emotional content, and sense of melody and delivery all in one like he does imo. The part with the demonic vocals in the middle is done by Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir and gives me chills every time. Everything just comes together so well and is structured and arranged perfectly. It is also the ending to the 2 album concept (which I highly recommend listening to, the first of which is called Epica, and that's where the band Epica got their name from) based on the classic piece of literature Faust, which is partly why it has that kind of larger than life quality with so much depth. I was really sad when Roy Khan left the band, almost cried haha, but it was probably for the best because he was being burned out and his voice was deteriorating. Glad to see you guys liked it so much. Thanks again!
This song and the entire album helped me a lot through one of the darkest times of my life. Still brings tears to my eyes, when I listen to it. Such a complex song, musical masterpiece, such deep lyrics, such a touching voice. I love Roy Khan!
@@JolaHilja One Cold Winter's Night is the peak of their live performance. Khan reached another level there... such a mix of emotion, skill and talent.
That was an epic black ninja at the beginning. Continue with the Oikos, clearly it is working. Also one song from this group I'd say to do if you want the video is March of Mephisto. It's featuring Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir, as is in this song.
Also the reason it sounds like a musical is one it's Roy Khan who has amazing vocal capability, but also Black Halo and Epica is a retelling of Faust from the progressive power metal style.
Roy Khan is an incredible talent and very dramatic. The Black Halo is a concept album and well worth the listen. It features Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir and Simone Simons of Epica (the band). It is the second of a series after Epica (the album). Great reaction Thanks
I'm happy you enjoyed the song. It's my favorite Kamelot song from when Roy Khan was their singer. You should check out Ghost Opera as well if you liked this one.
Was the Live from Belgrade video copyright blocked? Because that would have been a great video for you to see and react to. Amazing song nonetheless, with a lot of depth and amazing vocals from Khan!
Roy Kahn is such a legend. I think YT has given the current line up more success and noteriety but I think their music with Roy Kahn is just unparalleled.
Just started getting into Kamelot after binging on Epica and Nightwish. A year ago, I had never gone anywhere near this type of music but it's all I listen to now lol. Listened to the black halo as it's considered their best. Looking forward to the rest of their discography
Oh my god I love you guys :D more Roy Khan Kamelot please :) soul society, moonlight, forever, when the lights are down and especially The Haunting with Simone Simons :)
It's Sonata Arctica, not Sonatica Arctica! xD Great video as always, I love Roy Khan's voice very much! Another Kamelot suggestion : Elizabeth (Part I, II and III) live Sonata Arctica : Juliet (Live from Finland 2011)
Honestly , I Really Didn't know you guys ! I was just typing KAmelot Memento mori and Search bar recommended 'reaction' so I clicked and saw some videos , Happened to click on your Video and I'm Happy to Know that you guys Have really felt the song ! It is Indeed a Story.. It is Kamelot's two-part Album that is (Epica) and ( Black Halo) about Ariel (a character based on Heinrich Faust). It's an entire Play of two albums combined and This one is the Ending ! Also I would love to inform that this Vocalist ( ROY KHAN) is no more in the Band. The Last Album of ROY KHAN with Kamleot was Poetry For the Poisoned.
hello ... I always watch the videos of you at a time ja ... nunce I had the opportunity to comment but today im on pc hehehehe I admire the work of you that made me discover many bands that did not ... continue with this great job!! Hugs from your friend from Brazil.
I wish I could still head bang. My hair is down to my butt again. Damn spinal injuries hahaha kamelot plays a tiny venue near me every year or so! So damn good
This song is great... but it's hardly represented properly when listened to by itself. Memento Mori is the climax of dramatic story that spans Epica and Black Halo. God and mephisto make a wager surrounding our main character, Ariel. If mephisto can collect the soul of his favorite human, he may return to heaven. After a downward spiral into drug addiction and the tragic suicide of his lover and his unborn child, his defection from God, among many other things, we arrive at this song. I have no words to describe the beauty of these two albums. There is so much detail, depth, and meaning to each song, lyrically and intrumentally. They truly represent the pinnacle of musical composition. I reccommend anyone who wants to take this journey open up the wiki pages for Epica and Black Halo where each song's core meaning is desribed and just listen. Higher quality headphones are strongly recommended. I have been occasionally enjoying these albums for ten years and still pick up on new juances within the music.
Oh cool! You found Kamelot! This song is great. One of the best from them. Please try Kamelot's song Karma: ruclips.net/video/MBqocGr5xsU/видео.html It's a live version, because in this concert, Roy Khan's voice is at it's finest.
who needs hair on the top? Now you can aid sattelites on the top and have that smashing facial hair at the same time! OT: Love Kamelot. There is a live version of this song I believe, they brought out a live CD. Wish they'd have this on live DVD but so far I've only (and rarely) caught it in concert.
Black halo was the first album I loved...not the first one I heard. A friend of mine showed me Soul Society in an AMV. And i loved it. So I let another friend of mine hear that. And she got mad because she tried to get me on kamelot from the album before that XD.
Hey!! What about some older Angra? From their Best Album (in my opinion i mean haha) "Temple of Shadows"? Anything from this album will do actually; th whole album would be perfect honestly, but well, my personal favourite "The Shadow Hunter" is sublime. Thanks =)
Great review as always, hey it is Kamelot whats not to love? Guys I know you are serious metal heads so try this out. A band forms when the guitar and bass players are 11 and the drummer is 14. Now 5 years later you get Asterism Rising Moon (ruclips.net/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/видео.html). Watch this and be blown away. The strings are still in high school and can't drive yet. The Girl on guitar, Haruka was 15 when they shot this video!! Teenagers that will be part of the J-Rock/Metal tsunami that is coming. You can try them now and be ahead of the game. Think a young Santana or Hendrix when we talk about her axe attitude!! If you don't want to review fine, but give them a listen I promise you will be hearing a lot more about them in coming months.
Its a shame that noone... NOONE so far reacted to Rebellion. Do you like Iced Earth, Manowar, Amon Amarth etc... you gonna love these guys Rebellion -Ynglinga Saga (To Odin We Call) ... for a start. You can thank me later (hope its ok to put link) ruclips.net/video/q_KCK3Xy-Pw/видео.html
Could you, somehow, react to Rammstein's last single "Deutschland"? It released yesterday! Maybe you could upload it to a different website, but having a video in your channel with a link in the description!! Love your channel btw ^^
The almighty Roy Khan on vocals. If you enjoy his vocals, you need to check him out now today, as he left Kamelot many years ago. He is back with his old band "Conception". Please react to their newly released EP, and the song "my dark symphony" ruclips.net/video/gR0_Sr1ON2U/видео.html
![Blind Guardian - Secrets Of The American Gods [Reaction/Review]](/img/1.gif)
More Kamelot please!!! Forever, When the Lights are Down, The Great Pandemonium! All songs from Khan's era are awesome. One of the best metal singers of all time.
Yess, I wish more people would discover Epica, The Black Halo and Karma! They deserve to be in the hall of fame of symphonic metal
Just react to every Kamelot song with Roy Khan on vocals! There's not a single bad one IMO. My favorite vocalist of all time.
indeed
He's probably my favourite male vocalist, that's for sure!
Since i heared him for the first time back in '91 in the album "The last sunset" i noticed his voice. 2 years later "Roll the fire" became my favor song ever. Still now, after 25 years i'm in love with that song and his voice too.
Yaaaaassss!
Roy Khan. The one and only.
React to Center of the Universe, Forever, Karma or Sailorsman hymn. Too much to choose from!
well said
Probably the best Kamelot song ever written. Such a great piece of music. The Black Halo is definitely worth a listen all the way through
Probably the best song ever written period.
The transitions are insane.
Kamelot is fucking fantastic, best symphonic power metal band by far.
What about Nightwish?
@@sadaka201 I think when I wrote this I was on a Kamelot binge lol. I love Nightwish too, maybe for different things. Nightwish sounds way "bigger" than Kamelot with their orchestras and opera music.

The live version of this song with Roy Kahn is truly amazing.
I live for the moment when ppl hear Roy Khan for the first time, The Voice Of God!!
Literally! He has accepted Jesus as his saviour and sings for God. 😄
I wish the band would bring him back
there is no vocal such as him; so passionate and amazing
Lets take a moment and apreciate the fact that after 1 and a half year this video has no dislikes. God,you guys are awesome.

Roy is back with conception :D
@@iiniestaa yeah I know. I really like Feather Moves, I don't know why it wasn't included on the EP
@@dodgrblu Yes my favorite song too, even Roy said it's his favorite song. Funny thing is that they almost didn't record feather moves at all :)
This song and the entire album helped me a lot through one of the darkest times of my life. Still brings tears to my eyes, when I listen to it. Such a complex song, musical masterpiece, such deep lyrics, such a touching voice. I love Roy Khan!
Perhaps their best album. Long time Kamelot fan. I'll be seeing them this fall, as well.
React to Kamelot - Forever, live at One Cold Winter's Night!
Kamelot is better live in my opinion :)
@@JolaHilja One Cold Winter's Night is the peak of their live performance. Khan reached another level there... such a mix of emotion, skill and talent.
@@julespulp214 You're totally right!
FUCK YES!!! my fav band of all time. When the lights are down is my favorite song
That was an epic black ninja at the beginning. Continue with the Oikos, clearly it is working. Also one song from this group I'd say to do if you want the video is March of Mephisto. It's featuring Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir, as is in this song.
We plan on checking that one for sure. It is on our to do Kamelot list.
Also the reason it sounds like a musical is one it's Roy Khan who has amazing vocal capability, but also Black Halo and Epica is a retelling of Faust from the progressive power metal style.
When an album that is sooooo good ends with a song like this there is only one word that comes to mind....EPIC!!!!!!!
I'd love to see Yannis do guest vocals on a Kamelot song. There's definitely some Roy Khan influence in his singing too.
That would be awesome I do agree.
He has kamelot covers on his channel
Roy Khan is an incredible talent and very dramatic. The Black Halo is a concept album and well worth the listen. It features Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir and Simone Simons of Epica (the band). It is the second of a series after Epica (the album). Great reaction Thanks
Hey! that´s why poeple call Roy Khan as The Voice of God!
This is a brilliant song, I love the different tempos in it and the vocals. Have a great day.
Love your videos. Saw Kamelot last week on tour for first time, this is probably my favourite album by them 🤘
More Kamelot ! Maybe Black Halo and don`t forget Krokus - Headhunter ;-)
The Black Halo. Masterpiece.
Kamelot - Lunar Sanctum. believe me - it cant be better than this.
Not better than than this, it's hard to say better for such an epic timeless masterpiece. But yes Lunar Sanctum is amazing, and quite unique.
I'm happy you enjoyed the song. It's my favorite Kamelot song from when Roy Khan was their singer. You should check out Ghost Opera as well if you liked this one.
This guy is not a singer.......he is a god!
Was the Live from Belgrade video copyright blocked? Because that would have been a great video for you to see and react to. Amazing song nonetheless, with a lot of depth and amazing vocals from Khan!
This is one of my favorite Kamelot songs. I absolutely adore it.
Roy Kahn is such a legend. I think YT has given the current line up more success and noteriety but I think their music with Roy Kahn is just unparalleled.
I have loved Kamelot for a long time pure awesome. You guys need to react to Dust in Mind - This is the End.
Gotta check them live with Roy Khan!
Brainstorm - Revealing the darkness pls
Just started getting into Kamelot after binging on Epica and Nightwish. A year ago, I had never gone anywhere near this type of music but it's all I listen to now lol. Listened to the black halo as it's considered their best. Looking forward to the rest of their discography
Oh my god I love you guys :D more Roy Khan Kamelot please :) soul society, moonlight, forever, when the lights are down and especially The Haunting with Simone Simons :)
Yea! More Kamelot!!
It's supposed to sort of sound like a play, I like how you pointed that out. It's heavily inspired by the national drama of Germany, Faust.
It's Sonata Arctica, not Sonatica Arctica! xD
Great video as always, I love Roy Khan's voice very much!
Another Kamelot suggestion : Elizabeth (Part I, II and III) live
Sonata Arctica : Juliet (Live from Finland 2011)
Honestly ,
I Really Didn't know you guys !
I was just typing KAmelot Memento mori and Search bar recommended 'reaction' so I clicked

‘Bout damn time!
YES!!! Kamelot with Roy.. that’s the best shit ever👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼... and now.. DARKWATER
this is the best kamelot song ever, good choice!
This is my favorite Kamelot album! So good! The best song writing and a Roy Khan in his prime.
This song is great... but it's hardly represented properly when listened to by itself. Memento Mori is the climax of dramatic story that spans Epica and Black Halo.

My cousin is super into kamelot but I’ve never been able to enjoy them too much
Please react to any song from One Cold Winter's Night, because Kamelot live is from another planet.
Oh cool! You found Kamelot! This song is great. One of the best from them. Please try Kamelot's song Karma: ruclips.net/video/MBqocGr5xsU/видео.html

The Oikos are the magic to the black ninja pipes.
