"Epica" comes from one of Kamelot's earlier albums of the same name from 2003. Kamelot are an amazing band with a ton of cool features from super well known artists, overall very influential within the genre. They underwent a fairly controversial vocalist change back in 2012 but the new singer, Tommy, has been getting better and better, though admittedly a lot of fans still miss the "glory days" when Roy Khan was there. The official live video for "Sacrimony" with Alissa (from Arch Enemy) and Elize Ryd (from Amaranthe) would be a good one for their newer style, and then anything from One Cold Winter's Night (live) for Roy's era.
The European symphonic metal bands are all interconnected in insane ways, Kamelot was on tour with Nightwish when Floor flew in to replace Anette and Alissa/Elize who sang for Nightwish at the infamous Denver concert were on the tour accompanying Kamelot. There's a fun fancam of Tommy/Alissa/Elize coming out on stage with the final Last Ride of the Day on the Imaginaerum tour to sing with Floor and Marco
Ohhh Kamelot it's been a whiile! Their live concert One cold winter's night has amazing performances worth checking out, like "forever" and "karma". The album version of march of mephisto is also a must!
Honestly, you have to check out some stuff from Kamelot's live dvd "One Cold Winter's Night" they're just one of those bands that always sounds better live, and Roy's performance on that entire set is breathtaking.
Hi Johnny, hearing more of Tommy's voice? Then check out Ayreon "The day that the world breaks down". There are a few more surprises for you... BTW it's a 10 minute plus song again.
Roy Khan is Kamelot's original singer. He is Thai and Norwegian. He has such an amazing voice. One of my favorite male singers. He was replaced by Tommy Karevik who is also an amazing singer. I prefer Roy but Tommy is an appropriate replacement.
Same, I think Tommy is an amazing replacement and has an AMAZING voice, but... Roy Khan... Roy Khan... Who could even compare to him, except Devin Townsend and God.
The current singer of Kamelot, Tommy Karevik (in this video it’s Roy Khan), and Simone are singing on the coming album by Ayreon called Transitus. Yes, again Ayreon 😋. Both sing on albums of Ayreon and sing in one of the live concerts.
Listen to Liar Liar feat. Alissa White Gluz! First Kamelot song I ever heard. I was obsessed with it last summer. And as always PLEASE do Wild Card - ReVamp live at Bloodstock.
Memento Mori. Memento Mori. Memento Mori. By Kamelot, the live version. It's my absolute favorite Roy Khan performance, and I think you'll see why. The song itself is also one of Kamelot's best.
They may have been formed in the US but they’ve always had European members. At this point, they were 60% American and currently they’re 40% American. Awesome band either way and I love them.
The singer of this video is Roy Khan... from Norway... actually he is in Conception.. His voice is incredible.. You must hear Ghost Opera.... Abandoned...
You should check out Kamelot - Memento Mori when you get a chance. It's the first song that got me hooked on the band, from their 2005 album The Black Halo. It really demonstrates Roy's vocal range and versatility, and has a lot of progressive elements and transitions. A banger and a ballad both. Amazing lyrics too. 👍🏻 Fun fact: Roy Khan (shortened from Khantatat) studied opera for three years after high school. I just found that out, but it really explains the theatrical quality and technique in his voice. Beast of a singer. Crazy talented band as well. You're gonna really dig their stuff. 🤘🏻 Extra tidbit: Roy's resumed a progressive metal project named Conception that I have yet to check out. Bout to do that rrright now. lol
Great song. They made two conceptual albums telling a story inspired by Faust and this is the part where he is tempted by a woman who looks exactly like the women he loves. I love this band, I would recommend some old tracks like Glory, Sailorman's Hymn or Don't You Cry. I would also recommend some other bands like Sonata Arctica, they are from Finland, like Nightwish, and his singer is a close friend with Tuomas, they have really dark and powerfull songs. Stratovarius, Rhapsody of Fire and you have to listen to Dream Theater. They are nothing like all this bands you been reacting to but I'm sure you will like them. Thanks for this reaction.
This song is literally how I discovered the band Epica back in the day ❤ Kamelot was probably the first symphonic/power metal band I ever got into. Opened a whole new world for me!
The lady on the swing is Mari Youngblood - the wife of Thomas Youngbloud, guitarist and founder of Kamelot. btw. meanwhile - after Casey Grillo(dr) left for Queesryche - 60% of KAMELOT are europeans. Oliver (k/Simones husband) and Alex (dr) are german and Tommy (v) is swedish.
I always prefer seeing you react to a live performance, but this is still cool. These were a couple of my favorite songs for a very long time. Glad you're having fun with it.
The symphonic (or anything melodic / power I should really say) metal community is very tight knit. Kamelot, Nightwish, Sabaton, Delain , Archenemy, Amaranthe, Delain, Within Temptaion. So many links through Floor, Marko, Alissa, Elize, Simone and others. Then you get projects like Ayreon, which is an Avengers Assemble of metal. Pop has a market, metal has a community.
The entire Black Halo album tells a story - a continuation of the story in the previous album Epica - inspired by Goethe's Faust.... I second the nomination of Kamelot "Under Grey Skies" feat. Charlotte Wessels (of Delain)!!! ......"Liar, Liar" with Alissa White-Gluz is great too!
Tampa, Florida, is often connected with metal, because of the Morrisound Studios. Kamelot recorded there, but also Savatage, Sepultura Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Iced Earth and many more.
I saw them twice in the Netherlands. Terrific band with the first vocalist Roy Khan. He had to stop for health reasons. Kamelot is still making records with Tommy Karevik (also vocalist of Seventh Wonder), who's second best in my opinion. Some more Kamelot ..... watch the (live) song "Forever": ruclips.net/video/EqqPYySZnVY/видео.html Btw. The Black Halo is the name of the album that "The Haunting" is coming from.
The singer is roy khan and he ''s amazing is no longer in kamelot , he was replaced by tommy karevik other amazing singer. And the keyboardist is oliver palotai , simone's husband. Ps : i like the subtitles in portugueese for me its easy to understand ,its my native language kkkk. Greetings from Portugal
I am 65 old German Man . I like your reactions. I recommend you to react Ayeron from Dutch ! This is a group from different musicians for example ed warby a amazing drummer, Irene Jansen the sister from Floor and Floor herself and Marco from nigthwish. The mastermind is Arjen Lucassen !! I am an absolutely fan from nightwish . Excuse me for my bad english
Roy had to leave because he was burnt out physically and emotionally but he does have Conception. Tommy Karivek is now the lead singer you saw him in the Ayreon video Tommy was at the beginning. Tommy is theatrical and his voice is amazing.
There's a live version of this floating around with their new vocalist featuring Floor, as well, which I almost as good as the original, haha. Otherwise, I'll just repeat what everyone else has said - Liar Liar, Sacrimony, March of Mephisto, Under Grey Skies - they collab A LOT.
3 fun facts aside: No.1: Simone and Mark Jansen named their band (Epica) after an album of Kamelot. No.2: Simone sang with Kamelot several times. And last but not least... No.3: Simone married Kamelot's keyboarder Oliver Palotai and they have a son together.
I never really listened to Kamelot either, but this song I've heard once or twice because I'm a huge Epica fan. It's a bit too slow for power metal in my opinion but otherwise it's fine.
I wasn't sure. Charlotte Wessels is great but she changes her hair color and style so often it's sometimes difficult for me to tell since I don't see her that often. I think she was blonde in the last video I saw. At least with Simone that hair is distinctive... LOL
I like this song. Tommys voice is very beutiful, distinguished and perfect fit with a voice of Simone. Great reaction. Try Dream Theatre - Octavarium. Great progressive song.

Yep great track, also Aryeon just posted some new stuff from upcoming album Transitus

Same, I think Tommy is an amazing replacement and has an AMAZING voice, but... Roy Khan... Roy Khan... Who could even compare to him, except Devin Townsend and God.
Actually Mark Vanderbilt is the original singer at their first two alboums. Roy was the second singer.
he is Norwegian opera singer, yes his father is thai ( hi last name kantatat) but he is raised and live in Norway

New KAMELOT video with Alissa from Arch Enemy and Elize from Amaranthe!!! "Sacrimony" official live video.
And do Kamelot with Elize and Allis...Sacrimony...
Another new KAMELOT live video "phantom divine " with Lauren Hart from Once human
FINALLY. you did it . The reaction I was waiting for. 🤩😁😀😎 Next burning bridges by Delain .
The woman is Mari Youngblood, the main character (Helena) of the black halo album story. (And wife of Thomas Youngblood, the guitar player.
You have to hear this one live, it’s so much better 🙌❤️❤️ btw: Kamelot keyboardist is Simone husband
The Black Halo is the name of the album this song was in. A total masterpiece with trully great songs!
Those harmonies are insane!
Great song. They made two conceptual albums telling a story inspired by Faust and this is the part where he is tempted by a woman who looks exactly like the women he loves.

Perfect choice for the next video : Kamelot - Sacrimony (Official Live Video) ft. Alissa White-Gluz AND Elize Ryd !!!

OMG! I love this band... Please react to Elizabeth part I, II and III by kamelot
👌😎🤘

You totally should react to live version of this song!!!
You need to hear the live version of this... It's so much better.!

Sunshine can be brutal. Try being in South Louisiana in late July.
There was a big brutal metal scene in Tampa back in the days. You definitely know more bands from there :D
Roy had to leave because he was burnt out physically and emotionally but he does have Conception. Tommy Karivek is now the lead singer you saw him in the Ayreon video Tommy was at the beginning. Tommy is theatrical and his voice is amazing.
Roy Khan is a great singer. Check Conception his current band :)
Nothing against Tommy, but I like Kamelot's middle period best (with Roy Khan, after they became less heavy)
Another good song by Kamelot is March of Mephisto
Reaction starts @ 5.00. There is a fantastic live version here: ruclips.net/video/RsMXxxDMFYY/видео.html

And last but not least...
No.3: Simone married Kamelot's keyboarder Oliver Palotai and they have a son together.
Awesome 👌😎🤘
and Tommy married Kobra Paige from the Canadian band "Kobra and the Lotus"
I thought epica's keyboard player was also originally in kamelot, and helped form Epica?
@@theris117 Coen Janssen joined Epica 2002.... as far as I know Oliver has always been in Kamelot.
Check the Phantom Agony by Epica. Epica is a great band.
react to "center of the universe" from Kamelot's "one cold winter night live dvd"
And now do Sacrimony (Kamelot) Tommy Karevik... special guest Elize Ryd and Alissa...
The woman on the swing reminds me of the character called Anya in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I may be wrong though.
The demoness who becomes mortal!
Only Kamelot, Insomnia. Live song Sacrimony, Phantom Divine.
I never really listened to Kamelot either, but this song I've heard once or twice because I'm a huge Epica fan. It's a bit too slow for power metal in my opinion but otherwise it's fine.
React to Kamelot- Ghost Opera!
floor jansen did the same song too with kamelot check it out !
Epica feat Roy Khan.. Trois Vierges..
Hey friend! React to Unleashed by Epica ( Design your Universe) it's a master piece !!
actually Roy is Norwegian
Me first Ty for kamelot
Nope on swing is Charlotte from Delain!
I wasn't sure. Charlotte Wessels is great but she changes her hair color and style so often it's sometimes difficult for me to tell since I don't see her that often. I think she was blonde in the last video I saw. At least with Simone that hair is distinctive... LOL
NOPE!!! That's NOT Charlotte!!!
It's Mari Youngblood - the wife of Thomas Youngbloud, guitarist and founder of Kamelot.
Kamelot love you to death
Roy 🤘🇧🇻
Por que das legendas em Português? Kkkkkkkkk why this portuguese subtitles?
React to live this song, pleasee
Simons, not Simmons. 🤦
I like this song. Tommys voice is very beutiful, distinguished and perfect fit with a voice of Simone. Great reaction. Try Dream Theatre - Octavarium. Great progressive song.
This song is with Roy Khan, not Tommy
Yes , its roy khan .
@@LaisDeSantAna Thanks. I always do this mistake. Both are very good singers.
OMG you committed blasphemy interrupting God!! Roy Khan is God dude NO.
