KAMELOT Announces New Bassist
December 1, 2009American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT have issued the following update:
"As KAMELOT's concert schedule grows and commitments increase the demand on its members has also increased." KAMELOT's guitarist Thomas Youngblood states, "Glenn [Barry, bass] called me a few weeks ago and told me he just couldn't do it anymore, and has to step aside. He is like a brother to us and we've been through a lot of great times, so we wanted him to make this decision."
Youngblood adds, "Bassist Sean Tibbetts has been on tour with KAMELOT now for more than 2.5 years, stepping in for Glenn Barry while he took time off for family.
"We are very pleased to announce Sean Tibbetts as the new KAMELOT bassist!!!"
KAMELOT will tour Europe with ADAGIO in March and April 2010.
The band recently spent time at various studios — including the Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany — under the watchful eye of Sascha Paeth and Miro as producers. A February/March 2010 release is being planned for the group's highly anticipated follow-up to "Ghost Opera".
"The new songs are really inspiring," stated Youngblood. "We feel the long touring and time away from writing has been perfect for new ideas and an aggressive approach to the new songs."
