KAMELOT: In Mixing Mode

February 6, 2007

American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT have posted the following message on their official web site:

"Full steam ahead on the new KAMELOT album due this spring/summer 2007. Producer Sascha Paeth is working on the mix at the moment in Germany's Gate Studios. Cover artwork for the new album is being handled by Swedish artist Mattias Norén as well as some additional images by french artist Ravendusk.

"KAMELOT is just returning from Belgrade, Serbia after shooting the first of many new videos for the upcoming release. The video was shot for the song 'Ghost Opera'.

"Rehearsals for KAMELOT's upcoming world tour start in March and [it] promises to be their biggest and most prestigious production to date. The Norwegian/German band LEAVES' EYES will be the special guests on most of the shows."

KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood recently checked in with Hardrock Haven for a 25-minute interview to discuss their new live DVD, "A Cold Winter's Night"; how the songwriting process works with lead singer Roy Khan, who lives in Norway while Youngblood is American; North American tour plans; the technical difficulties of bringing their kind of epic and symphonic metal to life in a live environment; and what we can expect from KAMELOT in the upcoming months.

As previously reported, a video clip of KAMELOT performing the song "When the Lights are Down" on February 11, 2006 at the historic Rockefeller venue in Oslo, Norway has been posted online at YouTube.com. The footage comes off the group's first-ever DVD, "One Cold Winter's Night", which entered the Swedish Music Video chart at position No. 8. 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.

KAMELOT's new studio album is scheduled for a spring release.
