Tommy Karevik is not only an exceptional vocalist with a heavenly and amazing voice. He also delivers his performance in such a theatrical way that just adds so much to the video. One of the top singers in the metal scene. PERIOD.
That was badass. Man...Alyssa's voice could freeze molten lava, melt the north pole or make crying babies sleep peacefully. UNBELIEVABLE. Other than her, Kamelot is as good as ever...and I didn't think that I'd ever say that with Roy gone...but there it is.
Would you pray if said you were dying Would you be a little stronger Or fall down on your knees Would you stay with me If you knew that I was lying Would you walk away Or turn the other cheek I tremble where I stand My wish is your command The nature of a truly desperate heart Give me something real That I can truly feel Liar liar on the wall Whisper whisper in the dark Tell me what you see Poisoned by your fly infested poetry Liar liar on the wall Give the world to me A wasteland or a monarchy Liar liar Tell me what you see... Now I'm here and my pain is my companion Now I know it wasn't meant to heal... the cut Is way too deep No more wasted years of sacrificial bleeding I'm the master of the war inside me But still... I tremble where I stand My wish is your command The yearning of an undiscovered soul Give me something real So that I can truly feel Liar liar on the wall Whisper whisper in the dark Tell me what you see Poisoned by your fly infested poetry Liar liar on the wall Give the world to me A wasteland or a Monarchy Liar liar... Tell me what you see... I shine when the sun is down And carry this heavy crown I won't compromise Release me What we're looking for Liar liar on the wall Mirror mirror in the dark Tell us what we are looking for Make us see the truth Liar liar on the wall Whisper whisper in the dark Tell me what you see Poisoned by your fly infested poetry Liar liar on the wall Give the world to me A wasteland or a monarchy Liar liar... Tell me what you see...
Still my favorite song. When Alissa starts growling, I feel energy and power of music. When she starts singing in clean voice, I feel all strength leaves me and beautiful, sweet feeling of eternity grabs me.
its nice to hear Alissa White-Gluz's regular voice once in a while, i love her death metal voice, but its still nice to hear that she can not only sing death metal, but regular songs as well
I personally like her, and the old singer equally....but you are entitled to your opinion....as am I, and imo, i like her regular singing....but you are right, arch enemy is not the band for her to do regular singing
that is fair......as someone who is not a huge fan (meaning i will not go out of my way to go to their concerts) i do not really like or dislike one more then the other
The amount of emotion he carries in his voice is enough to make a grown man cry. A truly irreplaceable singer, such an incredible voice. Alissa is so incredible, multi-talented!
This song perfectly captures Alissa's vocal range, this girl is so freaking talented and yet so called Arch Enemy fans are shitting on her just because she's not Angela.
Not gonna lie. I'm an Alissa fan-boy. I came here for Alissa. BUT HOLY SHIT I THINK I FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE BAND THIS IS AMAZING. I FEEL SO MUCH SHAME NOT KNOWING ABOUT THESE GUYS BEFORE. And might I add, Alissa sounds really different. Like. Really different. Those cleans are so different from The Agonist and the small slither she has so far in Arch Enemy.
Kamelot has been around for a while, this album is recent but they started in the mid to late 90s if I remember correctly, part of the big wave of Power Metal going on at that time, when the genre really solidified as something distinct from classic/traditional heavy metal and speed metal.
I had never heard Allissa sing melodic, she has an amazing voice. Got goosebumps when that part came in. She she do more of that and less growling imo.
I've been listening to Kamelot since 2000, and I swear I have yet to hear a single song of theirs I don't like. Put that with top notch video directing and special effects, and you get masterpieces like this and Insomnia!
This is one of the best songs kamelotn has done in years. Hadnt listened to the new album, and im really, really impressed. And the scene where everyone is charging and running at the same time is damn powerful
Man having listened to Kamelot and The Agonist for ages it's amazing to see that Alissa has been able to achieve so much, and the fact this song even exists is something I simply love.
Tommy has truly taken Roy's place as lead singer of Kamelot. I also love how this music video starts from were Insomnia music video ended and gives some narrative for both songs.
It´s a really great masterpiece. A very fantastic song with full of melodies and an amazing chorus. Great musicians and a great singer. Alissa White-Gluz is also a great singer. She is a great guest of this fantastic song. Great singers. They are some of the best singers in the rock/metal scene. I love this song :-).
I got lucky and found out about kamelot when I bought their Epica album thinking it was material from Epica...lol glad I made the mistake. Love that album
Gänsehaut... schön, dass es solche Bands noch gibt... die klare Stimme von Alissa ist übrigens sehr geil... kann sich manches Metall-Huhn was von abschneiden!
Didn't expect it to be the sequel of Insomnia, but I truly enjoyed it!! Now we need REVOLUTION!!! And Tommy reminded me so damn much of Roy Khan. Got the chills down my spine! Proud to be a KamFan!!!
Oh my god Alyssa is a really good singer when she does her clean voice and I'm a big Arch Enemy fan... I've never heard her sing like that... I'm shocked, but her growls I think are cooler but her clean voice is beautiful
check out her stuff with The Agonist if you havent yet. she mixes both. really hope Arch Enemy works it into their next album. She got amazing range, my newest favorite female vocalist
Always loved beauty and the beast bands, but it's kinda cool to see the guy doing the clean vocals for once haha. I do think it'd be really cool to do a full Arch Enemy/Kamelot crossover type thing though.
"Yeah, you don't see a male singer and a female growler all that often. It's a cool role reversal." To all the metal artists out there...more of this please. :3
Alissa is freaking awesome!!! This is not my Kamelot most favorite song, but her participation, specially when she does the clean voice part, it is absolutely terrific!! I hope for the next Arch Enemy Album we can see her best as well!
This is one of my favorite videos of all the time. Tommy have an amazing voice, but he does much more than just singing. He is acting, acting by voice, by charisma and as an actor. So all songs sounds so different even in one Kamelot's style. And Alissa... wow! I'm not in love with ArchEnemy or The Agonist but here we can find both parts of a brilliant that called Alissa. So i'm really enjoy her present in here, and i would happy to find much more songs with both her sides. I mean that clean and groul it is some kind of one true talent, and it shouldn't be divided. Btw: Tommy looks hot :D
why every rock band has cool videoclips ? Rock remains the only one type of music that uses real instruments and have great voices male or female ! RESPECT from the botom of my heart !!!
+Bogdan Ichim Outside vocals, rock (well, metal here) has electronic and/or synthetic (you know... "up to eleven" ;-)) features in every instrument, so I'd say it's more a good mix: free human expression amplified by non-obtrusive tech, leading to a powerful style. Classic music on its side is probably much more about real instruments. Anyway, we both love metal for its profound and strong human aspect.
Look up truly epic metal and this is what you find. Amazing vocals an orchestra sick break down Savage growling and the drums and solo rift are on point. Also it's kinda camp which is fucking metal.
The world is unfair. Not only Alissac sings growl better than a lot of men but she can do clean AND opera. Oh. And she is gorgeous. Being average sucks.
if MTV still played videos and actual music, this song would be a worldwide hit.
more of a fuse tv song than mtv because even when they did videos it was rare to see metal excluding metalica
at least on Headbangers Ball it would be.
Stopping by 7 years later to say this is still one of my favorite songs. Such a great combo.
Alissa's clean vocals is really what Arch Enemy needs. Considering that there music is very melodic clean vocals won't be out of place.
Alissa’s clean vocals are what everyone needs
Tommy Karevik is not only an exceptional vocalist with a heavenly and amazing voice. He also delivers his performance in such a theatrical way that just adds so much to the video.
One of the top singers in the metal scene. PERIOD.
Alisa's clean vocals are heavenly
+ Ζήσης Δούκας absolutely
One could say... havenly!
+ Ζήσης Δούκας absolutely agreed.
+ Ζήσης Δούκας Yeah. It's my 1st time to hear Alissa in her natural voice. \m/
Totally agree!
That was badass. Man...Alyssa's voice could freeze molten lava, melt the north pole or make crying babies sleep peacefully. UNBELIEVABLE. Other than her, Kamelot is as good as ever...and I didn't think that I'd ever say that with Roy gone...but there it is.
Would you pray if said you were dying
Would you be a little stronger
Or fall down on your knees
Would you stay with me
If you knew that I was lying
Would you walk away
Or turn the other cheek
I tremble where I stand
My wish is your command
The nature of a truly desperate heart
Give me something real
That I can truly feel
Liar liar on the wall
Whisper whisper in the dark
Tell me what you see
Poisoned by your fly infested poetry
Liar liar on the wall
Give the world to me
A wasteland or a monarchy
Liar liar
Tell me what you see...
Now I'm here and my pain is my companion
Now I know it wasn't meant to heal... the cut
Is way too deep
No more wasted years of sacrificial bleeding
I'm the master of the war inside me
But still... I tremble where I stand
My wish is your command
The yearning of an undiscovered soul
Give me something real
So that I can truly feel
Liar liar on the wall
Whisper whisper in the dark
Tell me what you see
Poisoned by your fly infested poetry
Liar liar on the wall
Give the world to me
A wasteland or a Monarchy
Liar liar...
Tell me what you see...
I shine when the sun is down
And carry this heavy crown
I won't compromise
Release me
What we're looking for
Liar liar on the wall
Mirror mirror in the dark
Tell us what we are looking for
Make us see the truth
Liar liar on the wall
Whisper whisper in the dark
Tell me what you see
Poisoned by your fly infested poetry
Liar liar on the wall
Give the world to me
A wasteland or a monarchy
Liar liar...
Tell me what you see...
These two need to do more songs together. Both are very talented singers with their control. And the tempo that Kamelot brings is always enjoyable.
My three favorite things in this video:
3. Alissa's epic cleans
2. Sean headbanging, 3:37
1. Tommy's expression, 1:17
¡Jajaja! Tommy's Expression is funny.
+Issela Santina That man's hand gestures are hypnotizing...
+Issela Santina Tommy's sassy hand move always makes me crack up hahaha
+Issela Santina I agree, but I also loved the clean section of 0:57
+Issela Santina I wished she'd do cleans more often
Still my favorite song.
When Alissa starts growling, I feel energy and power of music.
When she starts singing in clean voice, I feel all strength leaves me and beautiful, sweet feeling of eternity grabs me.
Alissa's clean vocals are so fucking amazing, holy shit. Why have I never listened to her sing like that before o.o
its nice to hear Alissa White-Gluz's regular voice once in a while, i love her death metal voice, but its still nice to hear that she can not only sing death metal, but regular songs as well
I personally like her, and the old singer equally....but you are entitled to your opinion....as am I, and imo, i like her regular singing....but you are right, arch enemy is not the band for her to do regular singing
well she's not bad but whenever i listen to both singers i always enjoy Angela more. specially on live and on the old song.
that is fair......as someone who is not a huge fan (meaning i will not go out of my way to go to their concerts) i do not really like or dislike one more then the other
In The Agonist she used lots of clean and beautiful vocals
lol "regular"
Great. Nice to hear clean vocals from Alissa
The amount of emotion he carries in his voice is enough to make a grown man cry. A truly irreplaceable singer, such an incredible voice. Alissa is so incredible, multi-talented!
God, Kamelot is nailing it in the videos! This one, Insomnia and My Reflection are AWESOME!
Goodness... Alyssa's cleans have gotten even better since her Agonist days.
Yes
This is in close running for Album of the Year. Never thought they would top Black Halo...they SMASHED it with this!!
When many power metal bands decay, Kamelot continues to gain popularity! Long live Kamelot!
Oh which ones are decaying?
I think Revolution would be a great choice for the next music vid to continue the story.
Everyone's going on about Alissa, but Tommy sounds like a hardcore Disney prince in the most epic way possible. Just stunning 😍😍😍
This song perfectly captures Alissa's vocal range, this girl is so freaking talented and yet so called Arch Enemy fans are shitting on her just because she's not Angela.
Honestly when Alissa started doing clean vocals it scared me because I thought she was just gonna do the growls and it was unexpected to me
+Heather Of Hyrule when she was in The Agonist she used to shift from growls to clean vocals all the time she is amazing at singing both
MrVoldi7 I know that now, she's amazing
+Heather Of Hyrule She was switched growls and clean vocals in The Agonist. I loved her in this band.
+Heather Of Hyrule funny, to me when she did the distorted vocals, with the motions, it made me think of Rita Repulsa...
+Heather Of Hyrule You look kinda like her
This album is cranked past 20 constantly in my car. You know when I'm coming.
+Ryan G this band is on full blast on my ipod and song song is constantly one repeat and its this song
Power metal is the nerdiest shit ever. I love it.
Not gonna lie. I'm an Alissa fan-boy. I came here for Alissa. BUT HOLY SHIT I THINK I FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE BAND THIS IS AMAZING. I FEEL SO MUCH SHAME NOT KNOWING ABOUT THESE GUYS BEFORE.
And might I add, Alissa sounds really different. Like. Really different. Those cleans are so different from The Agonist and the small slither she has so far in Arch Enemy.
+Max Kelly I want a side project with Alissa doing cleans and more experimental vocals than she does in Arch Enemy.
+Max Kelly Welcome to the club brother!
you should listen to March of Mephisto by Kamelot
+Max Kelly I second that, how can I not have known about this band.
Kamelot has been around for a while, this album is recent but they started in the mid to late 90s if I remember correctly, part of the big wave of Power Metal going on at that time, when the genre really solidified as something distinct from classic/traditional heavy metal and speed metal.
alissa: clean vocals
me, who only knows her death growls from arch enemy: spits my drink
Mate you should listen to old Agonist w/ Alissa then, first 3 albums
agonist
Love it! Liar Liar is already one of my all time favorite Kamelot songs and I'm glad they made a video of it.
eternal love to Alissa
Where i can buy this Kamelot Pendant?
+Faraó Tunt smarturl.it/KamelotPendant
3:35 damn, the way Alissa nails that last verse gives me chills every time. Such power!
I had never heard Allissa sing melodic, she has an amazing voice. Got goosebumps when that part came in. She she do more of that and less growling imo.
SHIT! THE PART WHERE ALISSA DID HER CLEAN VOCAL PART MADE ME DIE HAPPY! HER ABILITY NEVER FAILS TO MAKE US FALL IN LOVE WITH HER! x3
+BitcoinGaming true,she has a great vocal range...
Kamelot and Alissa, one of the best mixes Ive ever seen!!!! \m/
I prefer kamelot feat simone simons !! That is the perfect mix !!
Great mix too ^^
Hear me out here (4 years later) Alissa and Carnifex. It is a truly epic combo
Both the growls and clean voice of Alissa is chilling, great song
Awesome video!!!! Can't pick a best song from the album, because each time I hear every song becomes my favourite!!!
3.3k dislikes? How can anyone who’s a fan of symphonic metal dislike this high benchmark of the genre?
All the real music should be back on MTV. We need honest original music like this back on the channels again
I've been listening to Kamelot since 2000, and I swear I have yet to hear a single song of theirs I don't like. Put that with top notch video directing and special effects, and you get masterpieces like this and Insomnia!
Even though the song was shortened, it was done in a way, that it didn't affect the result, truly a genius piece!
This is actually one of the best songs I've ever heard, no kidding. There's so much in it.
This is one of the best songs kamelotn has done in years. Hadnt listened to the new album, and im really, really impressed. And the scene where everyone is charging and running at the same time is damn powerful
Man having listened to Kamelot and The Agonist for ages it's amazing to see that Alissa has been able to achieve so much, and the fact this song even exists is something I simply love.
Tommy has truly taken Roy's place as lead singer of Kamelot.
I also love how this music video starts from were Insomnia music video ended and gives some narrative for both songs.
It´s a really great masterpiece. A very fantastic song with full of melodies and an amazing chorus. Great musicians and a great singer. Alissa White-Gluz is also a great singer. She is a great guest of this fantastic song. Great singers. They are some of the best singers in the rock/metal scene. I love this song :-).
I'm so glad I bought the CD, you'll get an extended version on the CD! It's so good!
Damn this guy has an awesome Metal voice
Scream Like You Mean It Tommy Karevik is a God, his work on the new Ayreon album is great
Mr420QuIcKsCoPs Tommy Karevik is God!
I got lucky and found out about kamelot when I bought their Epica album thinking it was material from Epica...lol glad I made the mistake. Love that album
Music doesn't give me goosebumps very often, but duets / collaborations like these give So much more dimension to this music. :)
I think the fact Alissa uses her cleans like a secret weapon to blow you away is just genius
Damn! First time listening to Kamelot. The guy has an amazing voice!
Gänsehaut... schön, dass es solche Bands noch gibt... die klare Stimme von Alissa ist übrigens sehr geil... kann sich manches Metall-Huhn was von abschneiden!
3:20 this part chills me everytime I hear...best song from Kamelot!
From the moment I listened to my Kamelot's first song, I knew they were gonna become my favourite band!
In my opinion, Alissa has the absolute best clean voice I've ever heard. And I love her gutterals as well.
I'm so in love with Alissa. That voice of hers is absolutely divine.
Two great vocalists, really enjoyed this one, Alissa's clean solo section really brought the song to a whole new level.
2:57 Alissa goes full beast mode, love it! This kind of stuff I could hear a lot more of. Which Kamelot songs have more growls?
Revolution next please!!!
+
I was lucky enough to see the Battlebeast/Sonata Arctica/Kamelot tour before the pandemic. Best concert I've ever been to.
Damn. Alissa can actually sing.
years without listening to this song, my skin continues to bristle, I love it
Didn't expect it to be the sequel of Insomnia, but I truly enjoyed it!! Now we need REVOLUTION!!!
And Tommy reminded me so damn much of Roy Khan. Got the chills down my spine! Proud to be a KamFan!!!
Another awesome band made even better with Alissa. Her cleans mixed with growls are superb on this track. Absolute metal goddess Xx
I don't get those butthurt fans bitching about Roy leaving the band. Tommy is also a good singer and he's actually doing one hell of a good job!
If it weren't for the godly growls of allissa I wouldn't care as much about those cleans but being so good at both is seriously OP AF.
Is just for me or Alissa looks singing the clean vocals better here that on The Agonist...
Well shes awesome !!
the 01:18 part where he says "on the wall" - the hand gesture gets me every time xD a great song, as always
Oh my god Alyssa is a really good singer when she does her clean voice and I'm a big Arch Enemy fan... I've never heard her sing like that... I'm shocked, but her growls I think are cooler but her clean voice is beautiful
She did 50/50 cleans/death growls with The Agonist.
check out her stuff with The Agonist if you havent yet. she mixes both. really hope Arch Enemy works it into their next album. She got amazing range, my newest favorite female vocalist
KadSkirata She has said in interviews that she wants to keep the Arch Enemy sound pure, which is why she doesn't use the cleans.
Check out her old songs in The Agonist, she did a lot of clean vocals there
Listen to The Agonist
Always loved beauty and the beast bands, but it's kinda cool to see the guy doing the clean vocals for once haha. I do think it'd be really cool to do a full Arch Enemy/Kamelot crossover type thing though.
+drago2021 Yeah, you don't see a male singer and a female growler all that often. It's a cool role reversal.
Yeah... I guess he is beautiful... :P
I bought this from Amazon and the sound quality is amazing.
"Yeah, you don't see a male singer and a female growler all that often. It's a cool role reversal."
To all the metal artists out there...more of this please. :3
True!
I REALLY want to see a Revolution music video to continue this story. It would be beyond awesome and perfect! Please Kamelot, PLEASE!!!
To be honest, this is better than a movie.🤓😍😋
I've been searching for this song, it was in my playlist back then.❤️🎶
And Alissa's voice so striking.😱😘
Probably the best song on the album. Reminds me of Blind Guardian's Mirror Mirror.
Alissa is freaking awesome!!! This is not my Kamelot most favorite song, but her participation, specially when she does the clean voice part, it is absolutely terrific!! I hope for the next Arch Enemy Album we can see her best as well!
This is one of my favorite videos of all the time.
Tommy have an amazing voice, but he does much more than just singing. He is acting, acting by voice, by charisma and as an actor. So all songs sounds so different even in one Kamelot's style.
And Alissa... wow! I'm not in love with ArchEnemy or The Agonist but here we can find both parts of a brilliant that called Alissa. So i'm really enjoy her present in here, and i would happy to find much more songs with both her sides. I mean that clean and groul it is some kind of one true talent, and it shouldn't be divided.
Btw: Tommy looks hot :D
I"m glad that one of my favorite band has recorded this video in my land, Serbia! We hope that we will see you again soon!
I've bought this album and he is AMAZING!!! Go on buy that if you havn't already did!
It does not matter how many times i have heard this song, when i listen to Alissa's clean voice makes me drop a tear. This song is epic
This is the first time I've listened to Alissa sing so beautifully such a cool video and song made me smile two thumbs up ;)
I came here for Alyssa and her cleans are beautiful. I love the drumming and guitars.The singer sounds pretty good,too. A Banger!!!
why every rock band has cool videoclips ? Rock remains the only one type of music that uses real instruments and have great voices male or female ! RESPECT from the botom of my heart !!!
+Bogdan Ichim this is symphonic/ power metal
+Bogdan Ichim Outside vocals, rock (well, metal here) has electronic and/or synthetic (you know... "up to eleven" ;-)) features in every instrument, so I'd say it's more a good mix: free human expression amplified by non-obtrusive tech, leading to a powerful style. Classic music on its side is probably much more about real instruments. Anyway, we both love metal for its profound and strong human aspect.
i get it ! Every metal song or heavy metal song comes from rock origine ! That my opinion !
It's metal not rock
ok ook i get it ! My mistake !!!
No matter how many times I listen to this song Alissa's clean vocals gives me chills every single time :D
awesome video, i love it, one best songs on the album deserves so good video, also its nice to see its a sequel to a Insomnia music video
Alissa's clean vocals give me chills... thank You God for such talent!
Really awesome...i got goosebumps all over my body
omfg his voice *CHILLS*
I really found this song and the whole album simply awesome. All the song and lyrics are beautiful. Great job Kamelot!
This video beautifully depicts what a great singer Alissa is. Brutal grunting voice and an even so wonderous clean voice. Absolutely gorgeous!!
Tommy is definitely worth of replacing Roy Khan, refrain gives me chills every time!
I didn't know Alissa could sing clean so well, now I appreciate her even more, she is awesome!
Look up truly epic metal and this is what you find. Amazing vocals an orchestra sick break down Savage growling and the drums and solo rift are on point. Also it's kinda camp which is fucking metal.
Why not more? This music hits so hard... Don't stop making more!!!!!
Alissa's clean voice is heavenly *u* I loved it
I had the privilege of watching the Kamelot live. Very anxious to watch this complete show.
7 years already? Oh my time flies. :O
We need more music like this to be heard on the radio and on MTV and music awards
love alissa's cleans! Wow they sound awesome together
Alyssa's clean vocals are so damn beautiful, I wish they were the general basis for her music.
If you want more of Alissa's cleans listen to when she was in The Agonist. Her range is quite amazing
that guy has a beautifull voice
Forreal. Never listened to this band before but I'm hooked now cause his voice, daaaaamn
You're pretty
Oh my God! I really love Kamelot!!!!!
The world is unfair. Not only Alissac sings growl better than a lot of men but she can do clean AND opera. Oh. And she is gorgeous. Being average sucks.
