Poll: Kamelot

[Darth Pope]

They're an awesome band and yet you never hear about them. I came upon them through indirect means myself. Now go and listen if you don't already know them!

I freakin' ADORE this band!

Those were great songs you posted too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcFlYE_Vh6Y This was better though.

I find them a very underrated band to be honest,their singer is so talented.One of the most unique voices i know.

Ghost Opera is a great CD. I mean I like Nightwish a bit more because they've got better vocals but Kamelot is a great band.

Its another song by the same band.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I've never heard of them. I shall investigate.

But there's too many good bands out there to know all of them.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

I heard 'The Human Stain' by them one time when I was on a music hunt. Good band.
Heard Epica [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfLtA8SkmVw]? Female vocalist but might appeal to you.

 

[New Troll]

Never heard of them. After listening to them, they're okay but I'm not overly impressed. Kind of reminded of of '80s metal bands like Flotsam and Jetsom and Man O War.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Never heard of them.. I'm guessing they're rock? Not a fan of the genre. Except G&R, Aerosmith, and Journey.

 

[TalonsOfWar]

ive only herd one of there songs but forgot the name of the song

I knew this would happen. Well played.

 

[xHipaboo420x]

Used to like them when I was 15. These days 95% of metal just goes over my head...

 

[Zacharine]

Personally I think that the Black halo is their best album so far. It has three of my top five favourite Kamelot songs in it: The Haunting(Somewhere in time), Abandoned and Memento Mori.

But Glory is definately the best: Lyrics

Spoiler: Glory Lyrics

Sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
fight for belief to be one
out in the field
fearless and cold
building the road to my Calvary

Strong is my steel
dark is my mind
Carmine the ground that I tread
Faith in my god
keeps me alive
but when does my faith turn to doubt

Silently watching the rain
carving the earth on my grave
Lord you know that I prayed
one for the glory
and one for the souls that I've slain

How will I know
how could I tell
where would I find some serenity
Sowing the seed
unwounded I bleed
Lord won't you show me the way

Christ is the cross that I bear
God is the will of my war
faint are the voices I hear
whispers of glory...

Christ is the cry of despair
cursing the day I was born
this is the faith that we share
left with the glory
and suffering of souls that we've torn

They are my second favourite band, right after Nightwish.

 

[The_Echo]

They're pretty good.

Lead singer's beard is very reminiscent of Serj Tankian.

Dude this is power metal. Big difference.

I heard 'The Human Stain' by them one time when I was on a music hunt. Good band.
Heard Epica [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfLtA8SkmVw]? Female vocalist but might appeal to you.

Simone actually sings back up vocals for Kamelot in The Haunting and several other songs.
