Following the release of the chart topping album "Haven" (#1 Hard Rock Billboard), KAMELOT finally releases the highly anticipated album "The Shadow Theory". The Shadow Theory was produced by acclaimed music producer Sascha Paeth and mastered by Jacob Hansen. A massive piece of work that will more than please critics and fans alike. Guests on the album include Lauren Hart (Once Human), Jennifer Haben (Beyond The Black) and Sascha Paeth. The amazing cover and artwork was created by Stefan Heilemann.
It's time to step into the dystopic and psychological world of The Shadow Theory. Kamelot returns with a dystopian inspired vision of the future for the song "Phantom Divine". In the not too distant future, our memories and thoughts will be extracted and transferred to synthetic AI. Our carbon based bodies will no longer be needed and eventually discarded. On "Phantom Divine" we explore this vision of a world where we are replaced by AI. Welcome to the Shadow Industries Transference Division...Welcome to the Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)!
The new single "Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)" is available here: smarturl.it/Pha...

[@morganneluse]

I love the "I am the empire" line repeating. Something about it just gives me chills!

[@FeerdNand]

hell yeah!

[@Rouven41]

This is the best Part!

[@argetfire1524]

I just went to their concert in Philly and they had us yelling I AM THE EMPIRE! Multiple times throughout the song. It was incredile

[@DavidRockvoice]

A bit different, still epic. While I'm one of those fans who are still a bit nostalgic about the Khan-era, I totally respect the ongoing developement and perfectionism you guys are putting into your work.

[@Torokk]

I am all you ever wanted I'm a new dimension Immortality perfected, phantomized Expansion of lies Generation of life Finding every deviation Just to keep the future alive Under a Phantom Divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams A Phantom Divine I'm the face of the selected I'm your chain reaction I am mortally rejected I am the empire connecting the mind And I'll die just to keep you alive Under a Phantom Divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams A Phantom Divine Under a Phantom Divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime (PANTOMIME) In the shadows of our dreams The Phantom Divine There is still hope for you (I AM THE EMPIRE) All that you see is true (I AM THE EMPIRE) There is still hope for us Under a Phantom Divine Under a Phantom Divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime Like impulses of our dreams A Phantom Divine Under the Phantom Divine Touched by the light In ambrosial grace No applause for the old pantomime In the shadows of our dreams A Phantom Divine

[@ruzkathawonderross2517]

2020 Anybody? All I know is I need more Kamelot.

[@bmstylee]

Bro some of us are still here in 2024

[@TeeaNoneofyourbusiness]

2024❤

[@fredxu99]

First Alissa's cleans, now Lauren's cleans, gawd dayum gotta love them cleans.

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

Fuck yes!!

[@GayLPer]

Is anyone else just enamored with how people move in this video? Tommy's gesturing, Lauren's dancing They're both so mesmerizing.

[@Avaleebeumer]

That drummer is absolutely murdering those drums. Dude has got to be a robot

[@thehumandirigible4882]

It's great to see Lauren Hart excercising her softer vocal side too. She sounded great here!

[@PainkillerDCXVI]

Her clean vocals are so freaking good... her voice has a "young witch" vibe to it, I can't really explain.

[@PureObsessionsRedNights]

From dark medieval times to dark futur times. Great video.

[@xxxpentagram]

2:32 a pic of tommy with kobra from kobra and the lotus 3:01 a pic of oliver with simone simons❤️

[@JoshMcSwain]

Good eye

[@WilmerBlanco]

I've seen same hahaha good catch

[@Zarryon12]

OMG....how did i not catch this two of my favorite bands singers are engaged!? WHAT!?

[@HeliodoroFG]

LAUREN HART IS FUCKING BRILLIANT! I've always thought she was destined for greatness, her band Once Human is really really good and not many people know them, I hope this collab help to catapult them to something bigger.

[@lucentnight]

This should be a movie

[@Sign-oi4oc]

Right?!!😃😃😃😃😃 I don't know why there not in a movie like other bands have been

[@_MarKao]

They should make a musical. hahaha

[@romanoperelli7018]

The break at min. 2:29, "There is still hope for you...I'm the Empire" my favourite part of this awesome song. Can't wait to get the album.

[@LadyLazarus1027]

Every single song by them sound like.... art.

[@AitorMorgado]

One of the best songs of Kamelot so far. I can't get it out of my head and I go to work listening to it everyday. It gives me strength for the day. I AM THE EMPIRE!

[@melkorarrieta6930]

I love how the song starts with a beautiful piano melody and then a guitar and a battery kicks in

[@Metalpazallteway]

Melkor Arrieta That's usually Kamelot for ya there.

[@joseantoniobenavente9965]

The kings of symphonic metal. What a masterpiece!!!

[@giacomostaropolirulz5770]

I dont think that ROF is better

[@astraphel1896]

I love how you can always hear Kamelot's sound in the music no matter who sings!

[@KaylaGibs]

The personal photographs were the perfect touch. Love the story told here, probably my favorite music video of yours to date!

[@eraajk]

Imagine if they made a movie out of this. Like a musical. They would be all actors like any movie but all the songs (full songs) from the album takes place here and there. Would be fucking epic like hell.

[@moonmomma3565]

A Rock Opera ;)

[@Zer0SumGame]

A cyberpunk metal musical? Sure, why not?

[@andreacrow1857]

No fair you guys, doing a whole story, involving all of us emotionally and then leaving us hanging, just like you did with Insomnia and Liar Liar! I need some closure, darn it! On a serious note, this song kicks ass, it's soo good! You never fail to deliver the best!

[@jakobfel2]

It's possible this album maybe a prequel, it carries a lot of themes that Haven had, to be honest.

[@andreacrow1857]

not sure it's a prequel, but more likely a continuation of the dystopian / futuristic themes from Haven.

[@teambellavsteamalice]

FallenStar I thought this could be a prequel to Liar Liar?

[@aceanimations3214]

I really need a show, or even better, books about Kamelot stories. I'm so ready to watch episodes of a story like this, or read 800 pages of it. ❤️

[@llllll1897]

Honestly. I've been wishing they made like a comic series or graphic novels of their storylines!

[@Wulfdojo]

I feel like ever since Tommy joined the band it has gone in a different direction and I really like it. It seems all the albums since Silverthorn have been connected by a central story line.

[@SwedeMackster]

Cant recall I ever heard an mediocre or non-badass song by KAMELOT...they just keeps on delivering the goods!!! Nuff said!

[@pathofthegamer8590]

I am the Empire...are you serious? This song is freaking epic! Gave me chills. This would go great as the Ergo Proxy theme

[@nerissacrawford8017]

Ivan is director again...keep him he's amazing!!! Regarding the song...Kamelot is unprecedented, that's for sure. Again, you astonish me. Amazing! 💋 Yours, Nerissa. ♥

[@madeline3868]

I feel like Brittany Slayes should be a guest vocalist for you guys. Her voice is just raw power. This has to happen.

[@MrJc9600]

Fuck yes!

[@edward132dan4]

Simone Simons into the Oliver's memories (min 3.00) :-D great song!!!

[@seaneggers4450]

Edward132 dan good eye

[@ioanabuzz]

Every one of them have their beloved ones in the "memory"

[@Vahisofficial]

Only heard few Once Human songs and they were growling so i had no clue Lauren had so cool clean voice.

[@madeline3868]

Ketunloikka in passengers and paragon Lauren has a couple clean parts. Her growl are killer though

[@jonathonklimmer6698]

Yes indeed I looked for this comment, lovely voice, I'd like more of that

[@kerriforbes6980]

Her voice is amazing

[@lungsnlipslockd]

Saw this song live at their first show in the Shadow Theory tour in Louisville two days ago. Freaking amazing. It was my second time seeing them live and I will see them every freaking time they come around. I LOVE Kamelot!

[@roydragon64]

The dystopic atmosphere of the song and video was amazing! It's already one of my favorite Kamelot's videos, togheter with Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy) :D

[@FlixPat]

Goodness gracious, I have goosebumps all over! Thanks once again, Kamelot, for bringing me to my effing knees at every masterpiece released! Can't wait for the entire album!

[@jeffkemper7920]

Everything KAMELOT is here. Damn all the rest, these guys are the best. A continuation of Haven, that is just as satisfying as anything they've written. Production reminds me of Liar, Liar, but I love it!!

[@CamiloTosso]

This song is from other Galaxy! Definitely Kamelot is simply Majestic! To me, Kamelot is the best Power Metal Band in the world nowadays! #Kamelot🖤🖤🖤

[@MrTheRich13]

WOW ! Picks up right where Silverthorn and Haven left off ! I loved Roy, but Tommy is bringing a new dynamic to the band and sounds fantastic! I was shocked when I found out Casey left but if I didn't know , I would think it was him on this tune . Can't wait to hear the whole CD !

[@JimWarp93]

Lauren Hart is 10 / 10 in this song - her clear voice is just wow ;)

[@angieand89]

Black Halo, Ghost Opera, PFTP and new era combined, I'm really loving the mix sounds of different kamelot eras! I really love it!

[@Metalton95]

Kamelot has the most visually stunning music videos..!

[@henricsjostrand8707]

Absolutely amazing!!! But I didn't expect anything less from Kamelot. They always deliver the best music in the world

[@thruvelvetblack]

I'M SO HAPPY LAUREN IS THE GUEST IN THIS NEW KAMELOT ERA 😍😍😍 and here I'll be waiting for that "to be continued" YAAAS

[@u.martin6917]

I was mesmerized by her body language, so freaking graceful.

[@kenwieczorek5167]

I love the outfit Lauren Hart wore when I saw Kamelot in Chicago.

[@priscilla2525]

Haven was my favorite album of 2015, so I have high expectations for this new release. I really like this song and I love that you guys featured Laren!

[@ForsakenPhoenix485]

The 579 dislikes are either country fans or beiber fans, and don't understand what good music is.

[@GayLPer]

Could also be bitter fans of the previous Kamelot singers. Or people who mistake nostalgia for a standard of quality and are under the belief that Kamelot sounded better in the past. Or people who just have stupidly high standards that no band but the ones they have lower standards for can measure up to.

[@Kangie1908]

The notes used to sing 'I am the Empire' give me chills.

[@AdaNicky]

It's amazing how you manage to keep the integrity of your music even after changing musics. I was super stressed to hear you without Grillo, but new drummer is not missing a beat. Kamelot always deliver!! Now come back to Seattle or BC. :-)

[@arwenitaofdoom9041]

Amazing, this band never fails to deliver and as a huge Karevik fan girl i have to say that he delivers perfectly and he is incredibly beautiful too look at. Can't wait for the Swedish shows.

[@VulgrimOfficial]

Oh how I love this Band... this album is the best thing of music that comes out this year so far!❤🤘❤🤘

[@CamiloTosso]

Kamelot!!! For me the best Power Metal Band in this world!!! #Kamelot Greetings from Colombia 🖤🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@joshcavaradossi4813]

Great job, dont wait less of Kamelot. Tommy is stunning and the new girl as so beautiful 😍🤘

[@natashaarlington9586]

10 more days and I get to see these beautiful people live for the very first time, and I've got a feeling that I won't be disappointed 😁

[@queenelmejor]

My favorite metal band!

[@mastershredder78]

This band never disappoints...Consistently awesome every time.

[@Tavrioths]

and that ladies and gents is called ART&Perfection in all its glory! Congrats guys!

[@swampnutz]

Wow, Lauren has an amazing clean voice! She needs to do it more.

[@Lucas_Williamson_Drums]

Will forever be my favourite band x

[@nolituh]

I'm sad that Casey Grillo left the band, but Johan Nunez sounds amazing!

[@annesimmons6170]

Grillo recorded the drums for this album before he left. I'm 100% Nunez will however be amazing for Kamelot as he is with Firewind.

[@deathtrap1976]

My cousin performs it properly, huh? lol

[@TheProgNut]

Casey played on the album, but Johan is amazing though.

[@KAMELOT]

Actually Johan recorded the drums

[@CristanMeijer]

I just came back from Kamelot in Tilburg and the drummer was a beast, so I wouldn't worry there :D

[@Ricardo.Soares]

Awesome! Kamelot the best of Metal. Saudações do Brasil.

[@huexley666]

Ricardo Soares O que aconteceu com o Casey?

[@thomasal6347]

Such a masterpiece!! Kamelot as fresh and good as ever

[@Defectivania]

They're setting the bar so high for this new album, this and Ravenlight are fantastic in every way possible and it makes me even more excited for the full album!! Stunning job, Kamelot, keep it up!!!!

[@CamiloTosso]

Listening to this song, makes me feel myself entering to a new dimension!!! This song is definitely an anthem, and the video, is just magnificent!

[@matthieulafleurdeschamps8376]

Kamelot never disappoints ! The new drummer really is destroying that drum, he's amasing !!! Good job :) Also, a very great touch from you to share some of your personnal pictures through the devices, I loved it :) Can't wait for the release, this album will be on repeat for a while !

[@GuitarShredHero]

Amazing! This song absolutely crushes. So excited for the album.

[@enayethossain4611]

watching Kamelot's sci fi videos, stimulate more than movies, indeed! FANTASTIC

[@franciscozarzosogil9075]

You never disappoint me, whatever you do. ALL HAIL KAMELOT!!!

[@eduardoj.barcelogarcia220]

the Shadow Empire comes When the lights are down...

[@nelsoncorreia4619]

Amazing !!! Superb !!!!! I think this is one of the best works by kamelot .it's a feeling . This is the year of good álbuns. Now Kamelot , from May Amorphis .I know Amorphis is a different genre of metal but the new song is fantastic too.

[@zoommair]

Saw them live last night, and Lauren Hart was there too! Or at least I think that was her, in Dallas House of Blues. Such a great performance!

[@misterantonis1231]

This could easily be an opening, a prequel if you'd like, to The Source by Ayreon. I feel it explains The Frame perfectly.

[@mbl122]

KAAAAMEEEEELOOOOOT IS MA LIFE

[@anthonythranduil4187]

Kamelot, you never cease to impress me. Every single one of your songs is an amazing experience!

[@cityguard4847]

I got a bunch of adverts for this. I do not regret checking this out for myself! Loved this song!

[@egos0108]

Beautiful clean vocals from Lauren

[@camilaleon8402]

Perfect. Simply perfect, more that I imagine I need the whole album. Guys, your music is perfect 😍😍😍

[@user-fz8pl5kz6f]

😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@adrijanl3832]

Lauren Hart makes this song so much better! i like hers clean and harsh vocals

[@CalebSteele]

I liked it a lot. Although I strongly miss the old Kamleot, this new direction isn't bad at all. In fact, it's great. And although this song sounds similar to the last two albums, what you guys have done is perfected this new sound of yours. Well done.

[@necroplastful]

This is godlike. The best song they released since Ghost Opera BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR. Thank fuck! This is the Tommy I love! The Seventh Wonder one! Not this roy Khan Erzast! This is what I wanted Silverthorn to be!! What I wanted Haven to be!!!! Thank you so much Tommy!!!

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

So, the cloning process utilized for our most powerful being of spirit energies, and evolution of control, of those powers, becomes the Phantom Divine. Thank you Kamelot... Wonderful portrayal of our different skill sets developed in and amongst the neural pathways, making the facettes of our character.

[@warrenjeffreymotter6681]

Now, THAT Is What Music Is All About

[@azazelreeds]

Me: Sabaton and Gloryhammer are my favorite bands Kamelot, reemerging from the depths of memories lost: Bet

[@thronezwei4412]

Friday can't come soon enough. Every aspect of this song made me smile like I was a kid hearing Kamelot for the first time.

[@mrcrowley2699]

They NEVER disappoint. I loved it so much! ❤️

[@facundodiaz6814]

I can not describe with words what this song caused in me, just incredible, thanks for so many friends! forever kamelot!

[@wess9844]

I felt a Silverthorn aura, but much more evolved. Loved this. Lauren Hart is a goddess, though her clean vocal in this song doesn't shine like I was expecting.

[@JOHN.Z999]

Wonderful Cinematography!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidlapena1543]

Tommy you look so great in this video, Roy Khan Will be so proud of you !!

[@erickportugal7351]

I always expect the best from Kamelot and they always deliver.

[@gothyk06]

Lauren

[@Skyliner03]

Kamelot again did not disappoint her new album, great songs and also video clips .... bravo !!

[@user-ul9bv2pc4c]

the band is grater good of the melodic metal universe🔥

[@psienriquegavarrete2646]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! BEEN LISTENING KAMELOT SINCE DE 90´S AND THEY ALWAYS CREATES MASTERPIECES! WE ARE THE EMPIRE!

[@Realistnels1]

I go to boot camp for 3 months and miss a new kamelot album. Time to catch up on life.

[@Themastersfly24]

Amazing!

[@DRAGONDXZ]

EXACTLY!

[@JohnGulish]

I hit like before the video even started because you know, KAMELOT :)

[@Dragondarkness30]

I did too. I was so ready for this. I need the album like yesterday.

[@derdingsreturnsnochmal5177]

"FOR RUSS AND THE ALLFATHER!" - snarls and leaps at necron -

[@jordy1729]

I plead guilty for this aswell

[@rachelluna4010]

I did also, and was not disappointed in the slightest. Fucking hyped actually.

[@chillibits]

Me 2

[@Blazing_Lightz]

I purchased this album today.I have no regrets,it has been wonderful.

[@alteredendeavor]

Wow! You guys never disappoint when it comes to the music or your video presentation. Very well done! A lot of groups need to take notice

[@kylehearnsberger9883]

In hopes this can get to all involved in the music bad-assery - this was bad-ASS !!!! I love this. Great job, guys (and obviously-lovely-lady :) ). The song is awesome !!!! I kinda like this continuous theme of Matrix-like wiring and computers on the video. Very cool. I wouldn't mind hearing a song with her and Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy someday. That would be cool. I had the idea of - between those two ladies of course - maybe a song that has dueling-vocals, possibly ? I don't know - probably a stupid idea. ROCK ON, Kamelot.

[@pvgroup]

Go Nunez Go! Well done guys,sounds and looks better than ever!

[@BeerLeBonk]

Huge Kamelot fan for many years, and got to say I love this song and vid. You guys just keep making amazing music!

[@cauldronwarrior6204]

Sounds good! Karevik seems even more comfortable in the band than before.🤘🤘
