KAMELOT Completes Fourth Songwriting Session For New Album

February 10, 2009

Guitarist Thomas Youngblood and singer Roy Khan of American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT have issued the following update:

"Greetings from Elverum, Norway. It's the final day of the Ottertepp Sessions, the first of four writing sessions for KAMELOT's next full-length album. Well, we can now reveal the location of the cabin here in Norway; it belongs to Lord Teksnes and is located in Sørskogbygda, Norway.

"The cabin has been the perfect place for our first taste of the new songs and direction for the songwriting. We would like to thank Lord Teksnes for the cabin and also all the Norwegian press that visited us while working up here."

As previously reported, KAMELOT have joined the roster of Royal Artist Club (powered by Nokia) where international artists offer fans a glimpse of their own everyday life: exclusive behind-the-curtains, on- and off-stage material. Royal Artist Club is a mobile blog where the members of the band can send videos and pictures via their mobile phones. You can comment on the blog and even suggest ideas what the guys could do with it!

SPV/Steamhammer will release KAMELOT's "Ghost Opera" (2007) and "The Black Halo" (2005) albums as gatefold double LPs. This will mark the first vinyl releases for the band.

The release dates are as follows:

"Ghost Opera":

February 27: Germany, Austria, Switzerland
March 2: Rest of Europe
March 24: USA, Canada

"The Black Halo":

March 24: USA, Canada
March 27: Germany, Austria, Switzerland
March 30: Rest of Europe

The band recently put the finishing touches on the video for the song "Love You To Death". The clip was shot a few months ago in Belgrade, Serbia with ICode an it "turned out beautiful and tragic and really fits the song and feel we were hoping for," says guitarist Thomas Youngblood.
