Kamelot With Tristania and the Agonist September 14, 2011

Kamelot continues their ascension to the top! Kamelot is one of metal’s most unique, influential and prestigious acts to come along in decades. The group’s reputation among fans and media alike is marked by enthusiasm as well as esteem, with each of their eight studio albums to date surpassing its predecessor in terms of songwriting and production. As one of the most difficult-to-categorize artists on the metal scene, Kamelot are poised to assault the planet with their most insightful and ambitious project to date, “Poetry for the Poisoned”, proving once again they are Invictus in the metal scene.

Well time is nearing for the upcoming North American Tour. After the success and reaction of the European and South American Tour, the band is more than ready to party with all of you. “We are dying to get back out on the road, the European and South American tours went so killer, now its time to tear it up in the US and Canada” – adds Kamelot bassist Sean Tibbetts. Kamelot will be bringing an allstar cast along with them, with Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of Fire) on lead vocals as well as Elize Ryd (Amaranthe). Fabio Lione adds: “So great when I think that soon I’ll be on the road again with the Kam-guys!!! I’m sure we’ll do great shows together as we did in South-America and Europe!!! We’ll give the best shows possible to the fans in North-America… great set-list and great people… get ready for a blast with one of the best bands of our time… see you all… soon on tour!!!” In addition female singer Simone Simons (Epica) will join the band on the entire run. Commented Simone, “I hope you come and pay a visit and have a great time”. She adds, “I’ll be singing ‘The Haunting’, a familiar song, and I’m just looking forward to having a good time with the KAMELOT family."

The North American Tour kicks off August 26th in Atlanta, Georgia and runs though Sept 23rd with support from the bands Alestorm, Blackguard and The Agonist.
