Shit Ghost Opera was eleven years ago? What a way to begin to feel old. I sometimes wonder why old folk never really move on with their musical tastes, but I'm beginning to understand. You find music you just love and you're quite happy listening to it for the rest of your life!
I could tell you why you just found this band, but you probably would refuse to believe me. OK. I'll take a punch at it! MAINSTREAM INFLUENCES SIMPLE SAPS. M-I-S-S.. MISS! Since you have chosen to grow your mind and look outside the little box of Mainstream, you can see that this world has much more to offer than druggy-sex, hate music that many bands all over seem to slide towards much easier. It's probably because they can only sing or play at a certain speed! It's too complicated for most of those bands to think to such an epic extent of acceleration, it bewilders them and they give-in to being just another Cover Band that's been heard one too many times before.
Yes I refuse to believe you because I stopped listening to mainstream music when I was around 12 - around 8 years ago. I then got into rock for a few years then metal music about 4 or 5 years ago. I too hate the mainstream music and yes I agree it is all about drugs and sex. As a musician I like to appreciate the factors of metal and especially symphonic metal music. I also love it because the singers aren't all using autotune and computer produced shit and there is much less lip sycncing because metal bands can actually play live :D. As for rap and dubstep - don't even get me started! So do NOT tell me I am a simple minded noob like the mainstream fans. In fact, I rarely go out into clubs with my flatmates because I can't stand the music they play, originals of that crap is bad enough without being remixed and made even worse. I prefer to stay in enjoying proper music and doing constructive things or drawing or practice my instruments. So I was just unfortunate not to have stumbled across Kamelot earlier when surfing youtube for proper music. From a non mainstream noob.
Very much agreed! And I really don't like the Bar Scene. I feel like I'm fighting being brainwashed each and every time I go into a place that plays "fuck-a-slut-get-AIDS" music.
Oh, yeah, I actually think it's cool. He's just a very expressive and evocative singer; he doesn't just put his voice into it, he puts his whole body and spirit into captivating the listener.
Walls so white Where your sorrows have a name And day is dark as night There's no remorse and no redemption Close the door Can you hear the crowd is waiting? For a last encore Screaming out for my attention Chanting my name [Chorus:] Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Like a crescendo of gratitude This is my song Like the dead I am on the other side They're howling in my head There's no remorse and no redemption Hush my dear Let the music fill the night And soon it's all we hear Screaming out for my attention Chanting my name Chanting my name [Chorus:] Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Like a crescendo of gratitude Don't wake me Until it's over I, I may be dreaming awake [Solo] Chanting my name Chanting my name [Chorus:] Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra Welcome all to curtain call At the opera Raging voices in my mind Rise above the orchestra
It's song's like these that remind me why most music these day's is so bland - because no one in opera does rock anymore! They fit together so beautifully! Anything with such beautiful vocals, a string orchestra, and metal band is epic in my books!
i will always love roy. tommy is great too. roy is who got me into this band though. i miss roy's beautiful voice. he now uses it for worship, but if he came back to metal for a collab, that would be freaking wonderful!
Such an amazing group of guys. They successfully combined heavy metal, melodic piano, and operatic vocals. Roy Khan needs to keep his legacy going with this band. It's just a shame he left the group.
What?? Roy left ?!! Why man? Why? My heart almost stopped and I almost cried. Roy was the reason, I loved music so much. Man, world will be a crappy place without him singing.
These guys have been around since the 90s? Oh man... I must have been under a rock.... The 90's for me was a lost decade musically... shame I didn't know about this band... on the plus side... I have oh so much to catch up on... it feels like my birthday!!! Great stuff!
This is the coolest music video ive seen in a long time these guys are great not like the metal we hear now a days wish their were more bands like Kamelot love this dudes voice and awesome job they do with the instruments
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT....you would have to be deaf, and blind or maybe nonexistent not to recognise the talent and excitement generated by this piece!!!!! Oh and I haven't used one cuss word here....I am a grandmother....no kidding!!!
maravilloso simplemente exelente la composicion es magnifica las voces van de acuerdo al estilo impresionante aunque tambien me gusta epica y lacrimosa cuyas voces son magnificas
+SuperHothead14 I've seen Kamelot several times with Tommy on vocals and, trust me, he brings it. Dude is the real deal. Not saying he is better or worse than Roy, just that he is a great addition.
Kamelot... on vinyl... THAT IS SO FREAKING AWE- We are sorry to report that the man typing just passed out from the sheer outstounding nature of this music. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you Kamelot. I miss the days of Queensrych. You bring the fire back to my soul long lost after their last album. (hah! album, I just placed my age.) You are subscribed and I will be following your music for years to come. Good fortune and long life to you.
Starting with within temptation, I was captured by the magic of metal. after exploring so many bands, I found Nightwish, and thought I had heard it all after listening to their song "the islander" Then I found Kamelot...
The sheer epicness that will always be Khan and the awesomeness that is Oliver Palotai! One of my all-time favorite Kamelot songs. The Inquisition still rocks my world though.
The whole experience with Kamelot is really incredible. The group has real talent and musical understanding, they don't ruin themselves trying to be cooler than they are and the being such a unique style. Also, anyone else curious to hear the opera without the metal in it?

I identify more and more with the old woman dusting off ancient records with every day that passes
It's almost supernatural how fucking amazing this band is.
They kick ass live too. I've seen them a few times, they don't disappoint.
I hope to be in a metal music video when I'm an old lady. Life goals man.
Shit Ghost Opera was eleven years ago? What a way to begin to feel old. I sometimes wonder why old folk never really move on with their musical tastes, but I'm beginning to understand. You find music you just love and you're quite happy listening to it for the rest of your life!
I love how Roy has to seductively caress the air around every woman he's in a music video with xD Good stuff, beautiful band.
Why the hell have I only just found this band???? Fantastic!

Excellent! Good for you man. Not too many of us out there.
XD I just hate being called a mainstream listener lol
Very much agreed! And I really don't like the Bar Scene. I feel like I'm fighting being brainwashed each and every time I go into a place that plays "fuck-a-slut-get-AIDS" music.
Kamelot with Roy Khan... probably the best band that the earth will ever see.
Oh, yeah, I actually think it's cool. He's just a very expressive and evocative singer; he doesn't just put his voice into it, he puts his whole body and spirit into captivating the listener.
Khan is definitely one of the greatest singers of all time (of any genre)
Walls so white
Where your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door
Can you hear the crowd is waiting?
For a last encore
Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
[Chorus:]
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
This is my song
Like the dead
I am on the other side
They're howling in my head
There's no remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear
Let the music fill the night
And soon it's all we hear
Screaming out for my attention
Chanting my name
Chanting my name
[Chorus:]
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
Don't wake me
Until it's over
I, I may be dreaming
awake
[Solo]
Chanting my name
Chanting my name
[Chorus:]
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Welcome all to curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
I really like the face expressions he makes. It shows how dedicated and passionate he is about the music they make
2019 this song is timeless.
It's song's like these that remind me why most music these day's is so bland - because no one in opera does rock anymore! They fit together so beautifully! Anything with such beautiful vocals, a string orchestra, and metal band is epic in my books!
Kamelot reviving elegance, symphonic qualities, a neo-victorian era feel, and a contemporary gothic european feel to metal
i will always love roy. tommy is great too. roy is who got me into this band though. i miss roy's beautiful voice. he now uses it for worship, but if he came back to metal for a collab, that would be freaking wonderful!
How many times i listen this song i don't know. Superb..
I never get tired of Kamelot!
Such an amazing group of guys. They successfully combined heavy metal, melodic piano, and operatic vocals. Roy Khan needs to keep his legacy going with this band. It's just a shame he left the group.
I guess I've been living in a cave because I just discovered these guys, absolutely spectacular shit!!!
2020 and still the BEST of all times.....
What?? Roy left ?!! Why man? Why? My heart almost stopped and I almost cried. Roy was the reason, I loved music so much. Man, world will be a crappy place without him singing.
Roy Khan is so mysteriously charming...
He has an unresistable dark beauty...
Symphonic power metal.
These guys have been around since the 90s? Oh man... I must have been under a rock.... The 90's for me was a lost decade musically... shame I didn't know about this band... on the plus side... I have oh so much to catch up on... it feels like my birthday!!! Great stuff!
that's a song for a standing ovation
for me is one of the best songs of the band
2019 and still powerful
Now this is real metal, Kamelot is a great band.
Siempre vuelvo acá... a regocijarme con estos temazos!! Doce años ya!
miss u miss u so so much Khan.....
roy khan is so hot...and his voice is mezmerizing...
Damn, his voice has something magical in this song. Epic.
This is the coolest music video ive seen in a long time these guys are great not like the metal we hear now a days wish their were more bands like Kamelot love this dudes voice and awesome job they do with the instruments
I'm not really into this progressive-oriented power metal...but holy fucking christ, the bloke's vocals are literally mind-shattering.
Essa é uma das melhores bandas que tive a honra de ouvir e conhecer,a música é linda.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT....you would have to be deaf, and blind or maybe nonexistent not to recognise the talent and excitement generated by this piece!!!!! Oh and I haven't used one cuss word here....I am a grandmother....no kidding!!!
This is such an intriguing album and concept to be very honest. I dont understand HOW ANY negativity can be formed when watching/Listening to Kamelot.
love.............
Beautifully filmed, beautifully written, beautifully composed just simply amazing a classic master piece
also, this guy is from norway and he does actually sing opera... that's why he is epic
amazing voice
Masterpiece!
Por esta canción empezó mi convicción de vida. Gracias a esto, estoy donde estoy!!! ...Of the Opera!!!
New to this band, i really like it :D
What a fantastic band, song, and video. I can't believe I just discovered them a few weeks ago. Im hooked, can't stop listening to them.
the story behind this song is sad as hell, but it's METAL... ROCK ON.
maravilloso simplemente exelente la composicion es magnifica las voces van de acuerdo al estilo impresionante aunque tambien me gusta epica y lacrimosa cuyas voces son magnificas
Beautiful song! :'D Even the lead singer of Kamelot's expression can make ones spine tingle by his gaze. Bravo!
His voice is really cool
God I miss Roy's presence, but i feel like Tommy does well as the new singer. Im sure i'll grow into him more as time goes on.
fuck yes u and I both
+SuperHothead14 I've seen Kamelot several times with Tommy on vocals and, trust me, he brings it. Dude is the real deal. Not saying he is better or worse than Roy, just that he is a great addition.
jimthar17 I have now seen them live with tommy and he is fucking amazing. he killed it.
i miss glen
Both are a great singers!!
Read their interview in issue 38 of Gothic Beauty magazine and just had to see what their music was like. They are better than i'd thought they'd be.
Kamelot... on vinyl... THAT IS SO FREAKING AWE-
We are sorry to report that the man typing just passed out from the sheer outstounding nature of this music. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Maravilhosa música!
I'm just boggled that this man can look and sound this amazing when he just turned 40. What the hell is in the water in Scandinavia? ;)
I was totally there in Toronto last night they opened with this. SO AWESOME
The greatest song ever. Khan has the voice of god!
5 years later, still one of the best metal songs that I know (and somehow quite a number are held by Kamelot!!!)
What a Masterpiece
Goosebumps equals greatness!
I still remember hearing this song when it first came out..and it gives me chills now just as much as it did then.
@Nightgamer21 It's Amanda Somerville - great vocalist and Simone's teacher as well
This song is so perfectly composed, and the video is very captivating. Very well done!
:o i love the voice of the singer man its awesome
12years ago? Maaannn time fly 🥰
the voice oooOOOooOOO
is so awsome!!!
good song!
J'adoooore... l'opéra, le rock, Kamelot et le beau Roy à la voix envoutante...
Who can dislike this fucking masterpiece?!!!
+DarthPK I was wondering the exact same thing... You must be stupid to dislike this
DarthPK some peopple find kamelot, nightwich, sonata artica and this kind of power metal to be far to cheeze, is closer to pop music than metal.
DarthPK ... me.
Masterpiece is the most overused word in music fandom history
my fucking thoughts exactly. 2018 still comin back :D
this is awsome
This song is like an addiction, I can't stop listening this band :)
Khan is certainly one of the best singers in metal today if not the best.
Khan is the most ridiculous showman ever. Just absolutely amazing. This video is incredible and I loved the song to begin with!
2020
KAMELOT FOREVER
I've been listening to these guys for about 10 years now, why aren't they booked for every major even every single year?
Una de las mejores músicas que he escuchado en toda mi vida.
I like about half the songs on Ghost Opera, but I love all the videos they made. So much improvement and great imagery.
The more and more I see this band, the more I like them! Cheers, Kamelot, keep up the good work!
I love his face expressions xD I miss you Roy :(
Amazing song. 🎧🎶🎶🎶
Thank you Kamelot. I miss the days of Queensrych. You bring the fire back to my soul long lost after their last album. (hah! album, I just placed my age.) You are subscribed and I will be following your music for years to come. Good fortune and long life to you.
Fantastic song..
Starting with within temptation, I was captured by the magic of metal. after exploring so many bands, I found Nightwish, and thought I had heard it all after listening to their song "the islander"
Then I found Kamelot...
Haha! you're so right, although I can't say I hate it; his hands are very expressive, just like his amazing voice.
Awesome music video
still, after all these years, one of my favorites of kamelot ;)
epic song with an amazing guitar solo. one of my favorite songs.
This song will last through the ages like Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 :)
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.
La mejor de Kamelot
Definitely my favorite song by Kamelot!!
AWESOMENESS 😍
The sheer epicness that will always be Khan and the awesomeness that is Oliver Palotai! One of my all-time favorite Kamelot songs. The Inquisition still rocks my world though.
Wow, interesting stuff. I've never actually listened to a metal song before, and I have to say this was a good first.
Increíble ☺
The whole experience with Kamelot is really incredible. The group has real talent and musical understanding, they don't ruin themselves trying to be cooler than they are and the being such a unique style. Also, anyone else curious to hear the opera without the metal in it?
when will I get to hear Khan again? I should travel to Norway to see him. Two singers have taken over my soul-Christian Alvestam and Roy Khan.
Omg I love Kamelot, And Ghost Opera as both a single and an album is one of my favorites. I love the orchestra along with Tommy's powerful vocals
Darth Sidious was a composer before he became a senator
Darth Nihilus Yes really
Ahahahahahahahhaahhahaahahahahhahahaha :D I spitted my own lungs from laughing :D
p.s. conductor, not composer, but what the hell :D
Made my day when I noticed him. ^^
I rather have this as canon instead of the prequels
this is pure art :]
His the flavour he added to Kamelot.
hes SUCH a good singer. id kill to have his voice
I found this song just two days ago, and yet it keeps me returning back again and again... I really like it.
Emperor fucking Palpatine directing the band.
