KAMELOT Guitarist Issues New Album Update

December 8, 2006

Guitarist Thomas Youngblood of the American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT has issued the following update:

"I am just returning from another great week in Germany as we are laying down the finishing touches of the new album. I am dying to tell you the song ideas and title but I am sworn to secrecy. We are working on the art with several artists, including one amazing new one from France. Drums are done; Casey [Grillo] did a killer job again. This time he flew to Gate Studios in Wolfsburg to record. We are aiming for a release of spring 2007, followed by the first leg of Europe tour, then to Japan and another run in North America in August. New songs, new stage and every night a party with our extended family. Also we are excited about our first visits to Finland, Russia, Serbia, Romania, Hungary and Denmark.

"What else? Some new festivals like ProgPower UK, Kvinesdal and Karmøygeddon in Norway, [where] Oliver [Palotai, keyboards] will be on stage both Friday and Saturday as DORO is the Friday Headliner and KAMELOT is Saturday's.

"Oh… the new DVD is out everywhere now. Thanks for your fantastic response to our first DVD, also thanks to Patric at Revolver for his hard work as well as Mattias and Pako who did the artwork."

KAMELOT's first-ever DVD, entitled "One Cold Winter's Night", entered the Swedish Music Video chart at position No. 8.

"One Cold Winter's Night" was recorded on February 11, 2006 at the historic Rockefeller Musichall in Oslo, Norway. KAMELOT enlisted renowned film and video director Patric Ullaeus (DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES) to chronicle the night's events. Bringing with him from Gothenberg, Sweden, Patric had a large crew of professionals and equipment, including 18 cameras, that would be used in and around the concert grounds.

The title for the band's first DVD to date (based on an earlier KAMELOT song title) was chosen long before the actual shoot. Ironically this winter turned out to be one of the longest and coldest in the country's history, with enormous amounts of snow and numerous chaos-causing blizzards.
