One of the most innovative and prestigious bands in modern symphonic metal, heavy icons Kamelot recently announced the upcoming release of their most introspective, uplifting, vital release to date - their first full-length in five years, 2023’s aptly titled The Awakening, out March 17 via Napalm Records. Watch a new video trailer below:
Having reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as The Fourth Legacy (1999), The Black Halo (2005), Silverthorn (2012), Haven (2015, #1 US Hard Rock Albums), and most recently 2018’s acclaimed The Shadow Theory (#2 US Hard Music Albums), The Awakening enters the Kamelot legacy as their most massive and diverse offering yet - mixing symphonic, gothic, melodic, progressive and power metal styles while yielding some of the heaviest tracks in the band's history.
