Kamelot is a power metal band from Tampa, Florida (vocals provided by Norwegian Roy Khan) that incorporates progressive and symphonic elements into their music. The band was founded by guitarist Thomas Youngblood and drummer Richard Warner in 1991.

In 1994 the band signed a deal with Noise Records; the release of their debut album Eternity followed in 1995. The next album, Dominion, was released in 1997.

Later that year, two of the band’s members were replaced; drummer and founder Richard Warner and lead vocalist Mark Vanderbilt. Respectively, their replacements were Casey Grillo and Roy Khan (Roy Sætre «Khan» Khantatat from Elverum in Norway - formerly of Conception). With the two new members, Kamelot released their third studio album, Siege Perilous. The new line-up undertook an extensive tour through Europe during the fall of the same year only to return to the Gate Studio in Wolfsburg twelve months later to produce the fourth studio effort The Fourth Legacy.

The summer of 2000 brought the “New Allegiance Tour” through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Spain during which the recordings for Kamelot’s first live album The Expedition were made. Only a few months later the band presented their fifth album entitled Karma, to the greatest critical success yet. Their sixth album, Epica was released in 2003.

Oh... right... forgot :/ Ah well, they just need a female vocalist period! All of the female duets compliment Khan's voice extremely well :D

Oh good, there's still some hope when I see them in October... by the way, after listening through their stuff a little more, I'm really enjoying the few parts Mari is included. She should become a permanent vocalist alongside Khan imo. :D

Since they introduced DotA into the setlist they've played it every time, I think. Epica will probably always have at least one song represented.

Same; they've also been playing DotA regularly, and they played Lost & Damned at a few shows last year.

They sometimes leave CotU out, but then they bring it back into the setlist again when they realize that everyone wants to hear it. Personally, though, I'd substitute it for Serenade any time.

Do they even play Center of the Universe live anymore? I heard they're pretty much done performing stuff from Epica, sad if that's true.. :/

Vancouver would be an ideal concert stop for me too. Yeah, too bad there's no Canadian dates at all this time around.

"Show me signs of paradise. A place where we'd all like to go to" It's sayings like this that make them a gift to music.

I think that Kamelot goes to Ontario and Quebec, but they've never come out to western Canada... which sucks for me. The closest Kamelot concert for me is in Seattle which would require a long drive down and I have school on that day.

Does anyone know if Kamelot have any Canadian tour dates announced? ...or if they have even ever come to Canada before? I'd love to see them live.

... They've always had mid-tempo songs and ballads in their discography, though. They aren't exactly new additions.
