'As one of the most innovative and prestigious bands in modern symphonic metal, KAMELOT is an integral part of the scene. With their distinctive works like The Fourth Legacy (1999), The Black Halo (2005), Silverthorn (2012), Haven (2015, #1 US Hard Rock Albums), and with their 2018 release The Shadow Theory, the band achieved top chart positions internationally (e.g. #2 US Hard Music Albums). The German Metal Hammer even described the Album as 'so epic that it could be a film soundtrack'. After extensive headlining Tours and performances at the world's largest festivals, KAMELOT is now back with their new Album, The Awakening, which will be released on March 17, 2023. After five years of waiting, KAMELOT is exploring new territory and presenting a mixture of symphonic and melodic power metal, as well as some of the hardest tracks in their discography.

KAMELOT has fully embraced darkness as one of the few bands in the symphonic genre. But without darkness, there can be no light, and so The Awakening focuses on themes such as determination, strength, overcoming personal conflicts, and personal growth. In addition, The Awakening addresses the aspect of societal change and the overwhelming realization of not having enough time to fully enjoy life. The meticulously crafted production is the work of long-time producer Sascha Paeth, and the mastering was done by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios. As is typical for KAMELOT, prominent guests are featured on their 13th studio Album. From genre stars like Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) to renowned instrumentalists like violinist Florian Janoske and soundtrack-experienced cellist Tina Guo, who has already been nominated for a Grammy.

Shaped by KAMELOT's characteristic sound, 'The Great Divide' immediately starts with a cinematic soundscape, transitioning into the dark but hopeful track 'Eventide', which addresses the final farewell to a loved one. The Awakening once again proves that it remains true to KAMELOT's sonic foundation, which fans have appreciated for decades. The captivating 'One More Flag in the Ground' turns out to be a radio-friendly anthem that tells the story of overcoming an seemingly unbeatable illness and the associated mental challenges. This track is supported by the voices of JUNO Award-winning musician and producer Brian Howes and his colleague Kobra Paige (Kobra and the Lotus). The operatic 'Opus of the Night (Ghost Requiem)' convinces with an intense solo by guitarist Thomas Youngblood, accompanied by cellist Tina Guo. She is also featured on the epic and synth-heavy 'New Babylon', which also shines with the dynamic vocals of frontman Tommy Karevik, Simone Simons, and Melissa Bonny. The groovy and heartfelt 'NightSky' is an ode to overcoming one's own adversities. 'My Pantheon (Forevermore)' offers some of the Album's heaviest moments and most complex guitar solos, while thoughtful hymns like the Celtic-inspired 'Midsummer's Eve' and the multifaceted 'Willow' provide the fitting contrast. With the unmatched talent of singer Tommy Karevik and the technically skilled collaboration with guitarist Thomas Youngblood, drummer Alex Landenburg, keyboardist Oliver Palotai, and bassist Sean Tibbets, The Awakening tackles themes that everyone can directly relate to. KAMELOT's unique sense for bombastic sounds and their harmonious connection with symphonic theatrics make The Awakening an inspiring milestone that expresses more emotion than ever before.'
