One Cold Winter's Night... Gets me hot ;)

Advantages: Awesome
Disadvantages: you also have to sleep.

...says it is based on one of Norways first popsongs, so when the crowd recognizes it they start cheering, and I can not blame them. He makes the crowd sing the intro with him, and they do, they tie down, while the music plays greatly and then makes space for his vocals. Vocals are highly enjoyable, the lyrics are well suited, and great for singing along, the music is only dominating when it is the deal, so the entire song, even though its wild, its ...
...2 vocalists there is not one flaw to detect, I can not do anything else then giving this a 10, although They both deserve a 10, but since its Kamelots tour I can only give a 10. PS, seen this live, she windmills ( headbangs in a circle so her long orange/red hair turns around like a windmill ), awesome. Track 11: 'Moonlight' ~ Length: 5:10 ~ 10/10 Well, you are sad Simone left again, but that does not last too long, because when the music starts ...

Review of One Cold Winter's Night - Kamelot

Kamelot - Ghost Opera

Advantages: Solid tracks, the same trusted Roy Khan vocals.
Disadvantages: Maybe a little too far from the Kamelot tree, tried to hard.

As always, the albumart alone is enough to make you buy the album and just see what it is at home, however, as a true fan of Roy Khans vocals, I knew I was in for a treat. The songs are different from the older Kamelot stuff, this is good and bad. Good because they should be expending, and besides, it still sounds like a treat, I love listening to it and got tickets for the concert. However, it sounds like they tried to remix somewhat to much, ...
...to be heared, which makes me a little sad, because they know to use anything and make a awesome track out of it. I would not recommend this if you are a person that knows 'Call of the Sea' out of your head, otherwise, it is a good album, really worth listening. ...

Review of Ghost Opera - Kamelot

Kamelot - The Black Halo

Advantages: Heavier, Darker, Emotive, Good place to start listening to Kamelot
Disadvantages: None, bar the second part of a story, a bit confusing for new listeners

...concept with the masterpiece, The Black Halo. The album could be considered darker, and more emotive than Epica, and the music certainly reflects this. The album contains a mixture of slower, balladic songs, medium tempo Horn Thrusters and allegro-fast head bangers. Allied with the breath taking vocals of Roy Kahn, there is alot of chance for keyboardist Oliver Patoli and guitarist Thomas Youngblood to show off. Songs to Bang your Noggin' to: ...

Review of Black Halo, The - Kamelot

Rage Against The Machine Album Review

Advantages: Hard, unconventional rock
Disadvantages: An acquired taste

Rap-Metal group Rage Against the Machine released their self-titled debut album in 1992, but the music is just as relevant today as it was back then. Songs like 'Take the Power Back' and 'Freedom' are about individual exploitation by the cultural, social, and political systems in society, and how the people must be willing to rise up and overcome such oppression. You may have also recently heard about the small matter of 'Killing in the Name' beating ...
...when you first listen to Rage is that they mean business. The whole album is intended to provide voice to the silent minority: Those individuals that feel neglected and abused are given hope through the band's resonant, unashamed, confrontational expression. Guitarist Tom Morello's anomalous riffs, rhythmic special effects and extended tapping techniques were some of the most powerful sounds to come from a guitar in that era, and remain unchallenged ...
