Kamelot for the FIRST time! Alissa how I've NEVER heard her! | Vocal Coach Analysis of "Liar Liar"

[@roy19491]

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]

also first three albums by The Agonist. I remember lots of Alissa fans were pissed off when Arch Enemy released their first album with Alissa without any clean vocals

[@taz2491]

Also worth noting that Alissa and Elize (touring with Kamelot at that time BOOM here is a connection 😁) jumped in to help out Nightwish in an infamous show of once in a lifetime :)

Alissa White-Gluz & Charlotte Wessels "Lizzie" Official Music Video

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@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).

[@forevertaken8955]

@@procyonconstellatio I was sad but I can appreciate that Alyssa had an opportunity that she couldn’t pass up, would love to see her do a track with Termina though. Imagining her and Andy on the same track both cleans and screams. Ooof

[@nightshade7240]

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.

[@matteogiberti3297]

Wait... this is your first Kamelot reaction right ? Soooo.... Check out also Kamelot - Elizabeth I, II, III (live). A song that I've suggested time ago to your reactions mate Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) for obvious reasons (hehe) and also 'cause Roy Khan was a great singer (and I miss Him)... P.S. Meanwhile... still renew suggestion for a song from Dark Sarah... :-)

Yes, Dark Sarah please!

Finally Kamelot! I hope you will stick with it and delve into Roy Khan era Kamelot. So good. But from Tommy era, Under Grey Skies featuring Charlotte Wessels is wonderful.

[@rnowak85]

My current favorite Kamelot song.

[@emilianovicentini8755]

...and preferably in the live version, for both singers

[@jimrentz]

Yes, I agree more Kamelot and one of my favorite power ballads if from Kamelot with Tommy and Charlotte Wessels formerly of Delain and the song Under Grey Skies. 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.

[@michalkriklava3417]

For more Alissa ft. Kamelot, there is also Sacrimony which also features Elize Ryd from Amaranthe. That's one more brilliant song that will absolutely blow your mind. The song has it all.

It's Kamelot featuring Alissa, actually.

Your friend, Charismatic Voice, has interviewed both Tommy and Alissa. They are both amazing people. I still can't believe that right before Covid, Tommy was still a full-time swedish firefighter and fronting two bands.

What was his other band? I need to check them out.

[@hakanarnklint1070]

Seventh Wonder. Fantastic band with The worlds best fans!

[@pfist13]

This was great! I would LOVE to hear your reaction to their live performance of "Elizabeth I, II, & III" when Roy Kahn was their singer. Tommy and Roy are both amazing singers in their own right, and I think you will love the emotional nuance in Roy's voice. 🤘

[@mahdie7530]

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.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Yes to the Elizabeth trilogy, a must!

[@SakisRakis]

Roy was not the first vocalist for Kamelot, although he was the vocalist when they grew substantially. First vocalist was Mark Vanderbilt, until Roy replaced him in 1998.

[@Vlad27145]

Seconded. Elisabeth Trilogy is absolutely a must and Roy is beast mode on that song! Live version from One Cold Winters Night!

[@dariuszurban7595]

Yes ! Give this one upvotes !! I feel like Tommy is the best replacement Kamelot could ever get, but there is something in Roy's voice that can't be replicated

[@LiesThatBind]

Roy joined back with Conception and has been singing with them for at least the past 4 years...

[@petyaivanova9629]

Fun fact: Kamelot sixth studio album is called Epica, and it inspired certain someone to name their band after that album. 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.

[@TO-hz9dr]

Great reaction! If you want to see a different side of Kamelot, I suggest you go back to the Elizabeth trilogy with Roy on lead vocals or stay with Tommy and look at Under Grey Skies. All three are my top favorite Kamelot songs and I think you’ll love them.

[@barryfilter2364]

Elizabeth reaction would turn into a 90min video if she does the live version.

[@TO-hz9dr]

It would, which is why I think she’d have a field day with it! You have to do the trilogy live

[@Thnielsen85]

Tommy got such an incredible voice! He never disappoints! :D

[@roryburke5710]

First discovered Alyssa when she was with The Agonist, before she left to front Arch Enemy. She has a lot of impressive tracks with them, featuring her epic performance range. Check out "...And their eulogies sang me to sleep", "Business suits and combat boots", "Panophobia", or really anything off their first three albums. She is an absolute legend with vocals both demonic and angelic.

[@dragonzord6615]

If you want an amazing kamelot song, check out the live version of Elizabeth. It's with their old singer, Roy Khan, but equally amazing.

[@ewaa37911]

Yesss!!!

[@theseanie9958]

this is in my top 3 songs of all time, so im sure this is gonna be an awesome reaction. just such a good song

[@danbaker300]

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. Some other suggestions: The Haunting (with Simone Simons - this one is with Roy), Phantom Divine (with Lauren Hart), Sacrimony (with Elise Ryd and Alissa), and Under Grey Skies (with Charlotte Wessels).

[@shorey66]

All amazing options. I really hope she does Elizabeth i,ii,iii. It will end up an hour long and be worth every second

[@RandallHidalgoS21allas96]

And March of Mephisto with Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir)

[@stephenkissinger4434]

There are also two live recordings of March of Mephisto where Shagrath's part was performed by either Snowy Shaw or Alissa White-Gluz.

[@palantir135]

Tommy Karevik is such a great singer. No wonder that Arjen Lucassen, Ayreon, often asks him to sing on his albums.

[@shawnrodgers2180]

If you want to hear more of Alyssa's clean vocals, the song she did with Nita Strauss " The wolf you Feed" has a lot of her clean vocals.

[@jonasmatzler5953]

I would recommend 'Handshake with Hell' by Arch Enemy and 'The Wolf you Feed' by Nita Strauss ft. Alissa to hear some more of Alissas range. Her voice is beautiful and wicked at the same time.

[@johndreessen7335]

Good reaction. “Sacrimony” live is great. For cleans of Alissa watch “Handshake with hell” from Arch Enemy or “Thank you pain” from the Agonist. Liar, liar is great. Got the album “haven”. Thanks for this reaction.

[@Paul_J1983]

I love it when someone gets excited as I do when listening to Kamelot. My only request would be, could you do a reaction to Kamelot, but back when Roy Khan was their lead vocalist? the trilogy of songs that makes up "Elizabeth" would be fantastic. or anything off of the Black Halo Album.

[@hecklinjekyll3959]

Your reaction is basically how I felt hearing her clean vocals. :D

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

Alissa spent ten years singing for The Agonist before joining AE. Her singing in that band was often making use of her cleans as well as the growls. Check them out

[@BedMau]

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.

[@jonasmatzler5953]

For more Kamelot I would recommend 'When the lights are down' or my personal favourite 'Veil of Elysium'

[@JolaHilja]

More reactions to Tommy please!!! I've been smiling the whole time :) I love that you enjoyed this one so much, can't wait to see another Kamelot reactions :)

[@Thessik73]

This is my favorite Kamelot song, and I knew you'd love it. My preferred clean/growly vocals from Alyssa are on "Reason to Believe" by Arch Enemy. It's proper inspirational. In fact, I'm going to go listen to it now.

[@JeffreyBezeau]

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. here's a link to the video, if ever you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6LUgYyviL-hjLs&ab_channel=japaninpoika

[@juantimer]

Yes One Cold Winter's Night is a Wacken 2013 level concert recording, every single song and performance is great.

[@Librarian5019]

Agree. I think the Nightwish Army/ Floor fans suck up all the symphonic metal air in the reaction room, lol. We have to advocate more for Roy Khan and Kamelot!

[@Azureal05]

Her clean vocals while she was in Agonist is great too, the sing I like the most was Panophobia by Agonist. Has a pretty good showing off her range. There's a also a sing she did for the game Metal: Hellsinger that has her clean vocals too.

[@pablocrespo7801]

Tommy has an incredible voice, for sure in my all time top ten. He had another great band before Kamelot, It's called Seventh Wonder, and there's an album called Mercy Falls that is spectacular. The more you listen to it, the more in love you get with the album, but for me the song "tears for a father" is a MUST have to hear in the Tommy's voice production.

[@DrSkeff]

I love both Roy and Tommy. Happy to hear either and it is a great tribute to the rest of Kamelot that they are able to recruit such quality singers.

[@ProgRiot]

I love how Tommy took the singing style from Roy, that makes Kamelot to be Kamelot, its part of it! cheers

[@pharaohthutmosis106]

@@ProgRiot I believe that Tommy's voice is much more melodic than Roy, but both have great voices.

[@TheSeraphimArtist]

If you want to hear more of Alissa’s clean vocals, she did a great balance between those & her growls in the game Karmaflow the Rock Opera for the song “Conductor & The Muse” That whole game’s album is also pretty banger.

[@tammymoyer7518]

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.

[@hegoso]

It was sooooooo fulfilling to see you having such a great time watching this one... Ohhh, yes. You absolutely NEED to listen to more of Tommy. He is just great. On a side but related note, you might want to go back to Ayreon with "The day that the world breaks down". If you like surprises, you should consider it... Love you, Julia. You are incredible!

[@Un4GivNX]

Try listening to her first band : The Agonist - "Thank you pain". The lyrics are freaking cool, and she's acting parts of the evil lawyer vs the good.

[@Renkaru]

As much as I love Tommy as a vocalist, I'd highly suggest you checking out Kamelot with Roy Khan! The live version of Elizabeth is top notch. He's also back in his old band Conception.

[@kmacgregor6361]

I wish more people would suggest Conception! They don't have any good quality live videos unfortunately and only Silent Crying and Roll the Fire for music videos at all. But silent crying original vs 2.0 would be an interesting thing to analyze.

[@rollingmetal949]

Soooo exited to See Kamelot in 2-3 weeks. No idea who they play this with on europe tour.

[@StephenDahlke]

One other fun thing about Kamelot is that when they perform this song live, as well as Sacrimony, they don't always have Alissa or Elize with them. Often, they invite the singers from the other bands on the tour to come out for these duets, and the results are some incredible collaborations. There aren't really any videos of enough quality to do a reaction to, but if you find the performances with Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast, they're absolutely with a listen.

[@Pelasgos14]

You have no idea how many masterpieces this band has. The previous singer Roy Khan was equally talented too.

[@alexthorpe6583]

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.

Tommy is one of my all time favorite singers! Check out Sacrimony live or Under Grey Skies live for more great Kamelot with Tommy. Also, I feel like Tommy Restricts himself a little to fit the sound of Kamelot. Please also check out some of his singing with the Swedish band Seventh Wonder!

[@Borislav_Borisov]

Check out her previous band The Agonist song Panophobia. It was 2012 but Alissa already were a BEAST . These days Melissa Bony from adInfinitum is singing Liar Liar with Kamelot. Melissa is also a power singer combining harsh and clean vocals.

Her time in the agonist was just as epic. Alissa is one hell of a vocalist. I truly adore her. I had the pleasure to meet all members of kamelot years ago and also alissa. She even signed my guitar.

Tommy listened to mostly Pop music when he was a kid, saying that singers like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston likely influenced his style of singing. A classmate of his got him into metal and to play the guitar. 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.

[@biopnumonic4676]

This happens to be my personal favorite from Kamelot, for much the same reason as you enjoyed it, but I'm here for more of them and well as more Alissa. Haven't heard the one from nita strauss and alissa called the wolf you feed, i'm going to wait a little hoping I hear it from your channel.

My all time Fav track is „Under Grey Skies“ just because of the epicness of the arrangement…can listen to it nonstop if it was the last song on earth

[@conorstewart2214]

There was a band Alissa was in before Arch Enemy, it is called “The Agonist”, in their song “panophobia” there is a good mix of vocals. She also performed with Kamelot and Elize Ryd and the song is called “Sacrimony”. Again her and Elize also performed in place of nightwish’s lead singer one night and that is worth a listen too if anyone can find a decent video of it.

[@senditkevin]

[@timhutchinson8485]

“Phantom Divine” or “Mindfall Remedy” are some of my favorite Kamelot songs (featuring Lauren Hart from Once Human)

[@HurtboxTV]

If you love Tommy, you're going to absolutely love Roy Khan their previous singer. Their live show of Elizabeth is a perfect showing of Roy's voice.

[@tonyard6063]

Kamelot has a history of collabing with other singers for awesome songs like this. Simone Simons is another one who has a few songs with them with their other singer Roy Khan. I think Floor had done a surprise walk on at their Oslo Norway concert to do Simone's part in The Haunting in 2013.

[@EmanueleCorsi]

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.

[@brendanhart517]

I love how excited you got, it was really awesome. I haven't listened to kamelot for ages which is just a dissappointment i think you should maybe have a look at love you to death by them, i remember loving it

[@sjolson68]

You need to talk to Elizabeth about Tommy - she loves him, has a tea time interview with him(!) and you can have a go at her for not sharing Kamelot with you. :) I've been a Kamelot fan since around 2005 and when the previous singer Roy Khan left, because of how amazing he was, I was concerned they wouldn't find someone who could carry on at the same level of vocal virtuosity. Suffice it to say, Tommy is also in the elite tier of vocalists in symphonic/power metal. There's a lot of material for you to cover but have fun catching up.

[@juantimer]

Being able to follow the Voice of god is a testament to how good Tommy is

[@alexc355]

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).

[@Jaciacarlile]

I hope you continue to do more metal! It’s always amazing to see my favorite songs being dissected in such a fantastic and interesting way. ❤ I’ve seen others say it but you should do Elizabeth i, ii, iii, by their previous singer. 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

[@Sarcasticron]

"His voice is pretty." - Julia Nilon, professional vocal coach/critic *And speaking of pretty voices, can you please do "Daniel's Descent into Transitus" by Ayreon? It's a VERY musical theatre-esque duet between Tommy Karevik and Simone Simons. It's probably different from anything you've heard before and the video is supremely entertaining.

[@bennettmohlman8848]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!!!! Yay! More of all of these!!! 🤣 Have a great day!

[@tjwells6824]

'Under Grey Skies' which has Tommy and guest vocalist Charlotte Wessles or if you're up for it check out 'Elizabeth i, ii & iii ' which is a trio of songs featuring Roy Khan. He was the singer in Kamelot before Tommy and his voice is equally as beautiful. On a side note, Tommy has also featured in a lot of Ayreon songs which are always wacky and wonderful. Check it out for more (prog) rock- opera vibes.

[@bladedth3sis]

If you like Kamelot I suggest checking out March of Mephisto, The Haunting and Memento Mori from The Black Halo album. It was back when Roy Kahn was still lead but that is my favorite Kamelot album (which Ghost Opera being a *very* close second).

[@fernandobarreiro6152]

Now that you have met the great Tommy Karevick, you must check earlier Kamelot and meet the mighty Roy Khan, an absolutely amazing singer. The "Elizabeth" trilogy is a great place to start :)

[@davidskinner8978]

Been listening to them since The Dark Halo (yes, I'm late), but, I've already seen them once, and I'll be seeing them again on saturday. I'm even meeting them/getting a pic, and a whole bunch of stuff, as I bought a VIP ticket

[@paulmdevenney]

Finally! One of my favourite power metal tracks. The melody, the story telling, the video that goes with it. Tommy is a fantastic singer and this track makes me wonder why Alissa doesn't do more clean work. I love it when she mixes it up.

[@Chuadar]

The only complaint I have with the music video is that it cuts parts of the track, and if you are used to the album version it's very jarring.

[@specter2621]

The obvious recommendation is "The Haunting". It features Simone Simons from Epica and is just incredible. Absolute must listen when it comes to Kamelot.

Kamelot falls into this genre for me... which is why I think I've listened to ALL of their songs, lol.

Alissa was in The Agonist. There she sings both clean vocals and growls. Thank you Pain, Panophobia and Combat Boots and Business Suits are the obvious recommendations. But I gotta say her best performance is probably in "and their eulogies sang me to sleep", but that song is mostly harsh vocals

[@hisshadow9525]

1: I've been on the "Alissa, oh my goodness you're amazing train" since hearing her in her old bad "The Agonist" (way back in the MySpace days) so I completely understand, I'd recommend listening to "Busness suits and combat boots" and "Thank you pain" ... actually, if I remember right, they did a version of "Swan Lake" as well. 2: I highly recommend listening to more Kamelot. They've got a lot of live songs on KZbin, so you can see both Roy and Tommy singing (not together, unfortunately). For Roy I'd recommend "The Haunting" (ft Simone Simons from Epica) and "Abandoned" For Tommy, I'd recommend "Sacrimony (Angel of afterlife)" (ft Alissa from Arch Enemy and Elize Ryd from Amaranthe) and "Phantom Divine" (ft Lauren Heart)

Please do some Kamelot with their old singer Roy Khan, Elizabeth pt 1, 2 and 3 live is incredible, but anything from the A cold winters night live show is incredible!

Tommy Karevik's other band Seventh Wonder is a must if you want to deep dive his vocals. Alley Cat, Tiara's Song, and The Light are all great choices for a reaction

[@pkopo1]

there are lots of songs where alyssa uses her clean vocals. older agonist songs like panophobia, some collab songs like we rock, sanctimony and stygia, then some arch enemy songs even like handshake with hell or reason to believe

KAMELOT - Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire) ft. Lauren Hart or KAMELOT - Under Grey Skies ft. Charlotte Wessels is also great

[@GianaManetheren]

If you want to hear their previous singer, I recommend "the haunting" featuring Simone from Epica.
