Kamelot is an American metal band formed in Tampa, Florida in 1991, known for combining power, symphonic and gothic elements and for dramatic, concept-driven albums.

Longtime leader/guitarist Thomas Youngblood is a founding member. Roy Khan (Norwegian) was the band's lead vocalist and a distinctive voice on many albums; he left the band before Silverthorn and was replaced by Tommy Karevik. Sascha Paeth and Miro have been involved in production on several releases.

DeBaser reviews praise Kamelot's melodic ambition, strong vocal performances and cinematic songwriting. Live DVD One Cold Winter's Night is highlighted for its energy and production. Some later releases (Silverthorn) received mixed-to-negative reactions. Overall the band is seen as a major act in modern power/symphonic metal.

For:Fans of power/symphonic/gothic metal; listeners of concept albums and dramatic vocalists.

 I am almost at the top after an exhausting incline and now I am ready for the imminent descent.

 It's the most significant lineup change there could be, yet it carries with it many considerations, swept away with the arrival of "Silverthorn," released at the end of the just-past October.
