    check out "Handshake with Hell" to hear Alyssa's clean voice....another good one is "Sanctimony" by Kamelot, with both Alyssa, AND Elize Ryd......also, Oscar Palotai, the keyboardist, is married to Simone Simons of Epica......Tommy Karevik has an awesome voice

      @@procyonconstellatio Not all of us were MAD about it.
      It was a GREAT opportunity for Alissa, one of her daydreams as a kid, fully realized. Such a PROUD moment! At least I could not be 'mad' about that. Just a little SURPRISED that AE did not utilize her clean vocals, BUT AE has ALWAYS been Harsh Vocals, they are one of the founding bands of the genre'. If they had clean vocals for Alissa's first album, their own fans would have been out for blood, called them sellouts, etc (that happened anyway; Metal Elitists...what can I say about their penchant for being closed-minded assholes?). Those fans were already mad enough that Alissa had replaced Angela.
      It did not come out right away that Ang had semi-retired from the position AND had actually hand-picked Alissa as her replacement! So Alissa caught a lot of hate from the older fans until Angela actually told people to pipe down so she could explain it for herself. Once they heard it from her, they were more calm but still bitchy for a while. Then Alissa's second album with AE came along and the fans were a little more receptive (except for the 'sellout' digs that still happen).

    If you like Alissa I highly recommend "Thank you, pain" from when she fronted The Agonist. For how early she was doing it, she really did pioneer the cleans and growls, especially in women fronted metal bands. Also her swan lake acapella is something special.

Tommy does duets with other singers so freaking well, but Under Grey Skies is my favorite! Also did you know that Oliver Palotai, the keyboardist for Kamelot, is the husband of Simone Simons of EPICA.

  • @mahdie7530
    @mahdie7530 Рік тому +145

    A few points. The first one is that you must react to the Kamelot song "elizabeth i, ii & iii" with theKamelot's first singer Roy Khan . Roy was trained in rock, metal and classical and was a unique singer. And after Roy left the group, the members chose Tommy Karevik as Roy's replacement, which was really a great choice. The second is that the pianist Kamelot is Simone's husband from Epica.And the last thing is to know. roy after leaving the group gave up singing for about 10 years and joined the church as a youth counselor. and about a year ago, after many years, he released a personal album that was completely different.

    Yes, welcome to the world of Tommy Karevik. Live he sounds even better, imho. A part from Kamelot (there are great live videos of Phantom Divine, Sacrimony, Under Grey Skies) and Seventh Wonder, I always like to suggest also his performances in Ayreon (like in The Day That The World Breaks Down and Daniel’s Descent into Transitus Medley). The man has the voice of the whole paradise.

    I am surprised Kamelot does not get reacted to more. They are so insanely talented and have been blessed with not one, but two absolute vocal powerhouses in Roy Khan and Tommy.
    For the prior era with Roy Khan I love Ghost Opera and The Haunted (feat Simone Simons of Epica). Or Abandoned, which is one of the most beautiful pieces ever.
    In the Tommy era...well Liar, Liar is great. One of the others I love is Sacrimony.

  • @alexthorpe6583
    @alexthorpe6583 Рік тому +5

    Kamelot started way back in 1995, but in my opinion they got really good starting in 2000. Roy Khan started with them in 1999, and when he burned out, Tommy Karevik joined in 2012.
    For more song with Tommy, I'd recommend 'Sacrimony' from 2012 with Alissa and Elize Ryd, 'Insomnia', 'Veil of Elysium', 'Phantom Divine' with Lauren Hart, 'In Twilight Hours' with Jennifer Haben, and the band new 'One More Flag in the Ground'.
    For great Roy Khan songs, I'd include 'The Fourth Legacy', 'Silent Goddess', 'A Sailorman's Hymn', 'Forever', 'Karma', the Elizabeth Trilogy, 'The Edge of Paradise', 'On the Coldest Winter Night', 'The Mourning After', 'March of Mephisto' with Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir, 'The Haunting' with Simone Simons, 'Abandoned', 'Memento More', 'Ghost Opera', 'The Human Stain', 'Love You to Death'. I know, that looks like a list of ALL the songs, but it's not.

    Not that Tommy, and Roy Khan before him, can't carry a song on his own (both of them absolutely can), but their songs with guest vocals always have a little something extra.

    Songs like this are why I miss Alissa being in The Agonist because she used clean vocals, which are really good, in addition to her harsh vocals.

  • @EmanueleCorsi
    @EmanueleCorsi Рік тому +7

    For Alyssa's clean vocals you could definitely check 2 of her Archenemy songs, namely "Handshake with hell" and the lovely ballad "Reason to believe". As for Tommy, as you noticed he's incredibly technical as a singer. Don't remember if you already checked out "The day that the world breaks down" from Ayreon, in which Tommy performs among the eleven main singers and does some really nice flourishes. Remaining on Kamelot, Tommy took over after the previous frontman (Roy Kahn, another incredibly talented singer) left. You could check Sacrimony (ft Alyssa and Elize Ryd), the live version "from the 013", which is also very interesting under the music profile, time shifts and all.

    Oh damn, Kamelot!!!
    I never got why we never get that much of Kamelot reactions/analysis on almost every single reaction channels, because this is one of the most interesting band to react to in my opinion. They're often having guess singers, both their lead singer "Ex and present" are amazing at what they do. They got that very unique style and signature. So unless it's only a copyright claim thing, i just don't get how they're getting ignored that much.
    Loved your reaction to this and seeing how you loved it, i can't but help to guide you at looking for older stuff of them with their ex singer Roy Khan. I'd suggest Forever, live from their One cold winter night dvd. Video and recording are really great quality. THe song itself is amazing and the crowd participation is worth to see as well.

Speaking of which, Simone Simons is guest to at least three or four Kamelot tracks and is guest again in their upcoming album. The most popular one is the Haunting, with Roy Khan, Kamelot's previous singer. As for Alissa - she is using more of her clean vocals in her previous band The Agonist, and on some other guest appearances such as on Demons in you by Tarja.

    Actually, you have heard Alissa before, in your second Arch Enemy reaction, over a year ago. But as a Kamelot fan of about 20 years, I'm delighted that you're reacting to this song.
    I will say that this music video continues a story that started with the song 'Insomnia', with a couple of flashbacks to that video.

    Yeah...Tommy is a friggin' vocal beast! FINALLY we get one of the best musical vivisectionists in here to let everyone else know what we fans have known for years!!
    Of course we all love how people freak the heck out when they hear Allisa's clean vocals. Many of us knew and a very few of us, if you were lucky enough to be at the Denver Debacle, know her cleans are absolutely Siren worthy. If you know....you know. Her and Elize were phenom's that night.

    I HIGHLY recommend Center of the Universe and March of Mephisto by Kamelot next! Both are "oldies but goodies", and in the latter you get a 2 for 1 vocal analysis featuring Shagrath's outworldly sound. Also at the time they had another lead singer (Roy Khan).

For example @ 7:24 with the stank faces and your hyperactivity during the solo runs is just spot on how I react as well....never change Julia , the only reactor I can relate to these days

    Ok so this is why I watch reaction videos. For videos just like this one! I’ve watched this reaction about 4 times now and it’s just as fun as the first. The excitement is so contagious and just a joy to behold. Reactions usually don’t get rewatched much I think but there are standouts and this is one. Another one I’ve seen many times is Tank the Techs reaction to Contraband by Make the Suffer (ft Courtney LaPlante). His shock and excitement just lifts my spirits so much just as this one does. Thanks, Julia! Keep doing the damn thing.

    Kamelot is a great band to discover even more great artist like Elize Ryd or Charlotte Wessels. So pls listen to Kamelot - Sacremony and Kamelot - Under grey skies.
    For even more Tommy you can listen to some Ayreon performances, too (e.g. Ayreon - Everybody dies).

  • @YuryVVV
    @YuryVVV Рік тому +3

    Alissa was my first introduction to female harsh vocals in 2009 with her previous band, The Agonist. The best showcase of her abilities with both clean and harsh vocals would probably be the closing track on the album Prisoners called 'Revenge of the Dadaists'. That song probably doesn't warrant a reaction video, but it would be cool if you checked it out in your free time.
    I really miss her cleans 😞

    Kamelot has been around since the eighties I think. The guitarist, Thomas Youngblood, formed the group. They are from Tampa, Florida. The singer is Tommy Karevik and he is from Sweden. He is the third singer to be in the group. The previous singer was Norwegian, Roy Khan. He was in the group for the majority of the time, having released eight or nine albums with them. The first singer, Mark Vanderbilt, was only with the group for the first two albums.
    Kamelot have released three albums with Tommy since he joined the group in 2011. They are about to release a new album later this month. Song suggestions:
    - "One More Flag in the Ground" from the new album, The Awakening.
    - "Opus of the Night (Ghost Requiem)" from the new album, The Awakening.
    - "Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)" from the album Silverthorn. This song features Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy and Elize Ryd of Amaranthe.
    - "Under Grey Skies" from the album Haven. This song features Charlotte Wessels who was formerly the main singer of Delain.
    - "Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)" from the album The Shadow Theory. This song features Lauren Hart of Once Human.
    - "The Great Pandemonium" from the album Poetry for the Poisoned. This was Roy Khan's last album with the group. This song also features Bjorn "Speed" Strid of Soilwork.
    - "The Elizabeth Trilogy". This is one of Roy Khan's famous pieces.
    - "The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)" is the first song by the group to get a music video and features Simone Simons of Epica.
    Thanks for checking out Kamelot!

    I remember seeing Alissa when she was previously with The Agonist as their vocalist. They did a small house show in Vegas supporting Kittie and several others (iirc). There were a few songs then where she flipped her vocals between the fry and cleans and holy hell it was so awesome! Got to meet her and talk to her after the show and honestly one of the sweetest people ever!

If you want more with Tommy, DEFINITELY check out Into the Black Hole by Ayreon live- Ayreon opens up an entirely new realm of existence btw

    I listen to bands that have really good singers... whether that's really good harsh vocals or really good clean vocals. Kamelot falls into this genre for me... which is why I think I've listened to ALL of their songs, lol.
    My favorite song of theirs, which might make you cry or at least tear up, is 'Love you to Death'. I highly advise you listen to that one, even if you choose not to react to it on UA-cam. Cheers!

    Try to locate "Denver Debacle" from 2012, where Alissa and Elize Ryd (both guesting Kamelot, which opened for Nightwish) substituted sick Anette Olzon in front of Nightwish. They did a great job having about an hour to prepare for the gig. The next Nightwish gig was Anette's last and guess who flew from Europe to substitute Annette for the rest of the tour.
