Random Track of the Day
Thursday, September 8 2011

A band seemingly hated by a lot of people, but one of my favourite prog metal bands, today's Random Track of the Day comes from Kamelot, from their third album “Siege perilous”, which was the turning point for the band. The two previous albums are woefully inferior to this, and those which followed, mostly due to the often poor performance of vocalist Mark Vanderbilt. Here he is replaced by Roy Khan, and the whole Kamelot sound takes on a completely different dimension.

Rhydin --- Kamelot --- from “Siege perilous” on Noise



As I say, this album is the first to feature the vocal talents of Roy Khan, who would remain with the band through seven albums, right up to 2010 when he left for medical reasons. The singing is crisper, clearer and more passionate than on either of the two previous albums, “Dominion” and “Eternity”, and the writing and whole feel of this album comes across as more together and tighter than previously. The track itself is not one of the better ones on the album, but it's a good rocker nonetheless.
