Kamelot - The Human Stain [Official Music Video]

[@ahmedbahauldeen1557]

He plays his voice like an instrument

[@mpbsmithaa]

The lyrics man... the lyrics!

[@VulgrimOfficial]

Joseph Thiery thought the same!!!!

[@VulgrimOfficial]

*The Human Stain* See the cemetery sky, carmine red and deep. Watch the oceans rising high, it’s the human stain. Talk about the growing hunger, ask why with deep concern. Don’t you think the human race is ceaselessly vain. But it hurts to be alive, my friend! In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by. Don’t you wish you were a child again, just for a minute, just for a minute more. Hear the ticking of a clock, the sound of life itself. No one really wants to die to save the world. Tell me that you're torn asunder from how we fail to learn. And tell me as the earth goes under, where’s your anger now? So it hurts to be alive, my friend! In this masquerade where all one day must die. Don’t you wish you were unborn again, just for a minute, just for a minute more. Tic toc! The ticking that could tear asunder, the beating from a heart of stone, the lust of your divine prosperity. Because it costs to be alive, my friend! And this life that someone merely gave to you. That's the price you pay, minute by minute, you beg for a minute more.

[@DANTE79S]

I love Roy Khan. My favourite singer

[@tidio117]

I really miss Roy... He sings with his soul, this song is really profound and it leads me to think deeply about a lot of aspects of life... Thank you Roy for this kind of enlighment

[@nimanima777]

When he sings "minute by minute" at the end... holy shit the emotion! Just amazing, the first time I heard this I was literally in awe.

[@sineastra2414]

No one noticed the uniqueness of the lyrics? Best lyrics i've ever heard. 2015 ftw.!

[@ivaylo.minkov]

2018 still the best

[@carin4139]

"So it hurts to be alive, my friend"❤

[@crowen9]

I'm certain about one thing: the lead singer is one of the best darn vocals I have ever heard! Just beautiful!

[@Unyubaby]

Every time I hear the singer's voice, I feel the desire to listen to more.

[@akisstat]

My favourite Kamelot song .... not their best for sure , but it has a deep meaning ... love it !!!!!

[@drumbuddy109]

this is definitly one of the greatest band ever. there skill as a band is unmatched

[@mattcase9]

kick ass vocals..can never get bored at the way he sings

[@superdome65]

this is opera/metal at its finest... its so incredibly melodic

[@clonmult]

Why have I only just found Kamelot? My life now feels complete!

[@elizabethali5886]

This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Will always be one of my favorite Kamelot songs.

[@Tallorian]

I second that!

[@Ba8ygirl666]

Roy Khan always knows how to relax me when I'm angry or upset...I love his voice

[@MarceloRocha-pd3ri]

"Don't you wish to be a child again?" -> adults after become parents

[@gemisthegod2]

This song's lyrics are so spot on on describing how pessimistic the life can be. I love this song and it's prolly ma favourite song from kamelot as well

[@CoheedHero]

i love how kamelot's earlier stuff is pretty much just straight power metal, but the newer stuff has kinda branched off of it into it's own very unique sound. makes me appreciate them as writers alot more.

[@l4nc0r]

Deep down inside of everyone is the longing to be a child again, yet in this life or the next we will regain that childhood we so desperately want again.

[@CyricRO]

This is the best song in the world, so much meaning and passion. Everything... soo... tragically beautiful.

[@1314Fher]

Damn, i get chills. Every single time.

[@pasko1983]

Kamelot rocks! The drumming in the chorus is astonishing! Casey Grillo has managed to build his own unique style through the years, and I think that nowadays he is one of the best metal drummer!

[@mendezbigniew]

I understand the part of Roy, and I wish all happiness and gratitude for a demonstration of his voice in Kamelot. And members of Kamelot, all sorts and support, thanks for all musicality in all this time. Continue to follow their good message!

[@theuninspiredpoet]

Khan is by far my favourite male singer on the metal scene. This is one of my favourite Kamelot songs!

[@DrizztDoUrden1234567]

I agree with Jagster, Roy Khan has some of the most unique vocals I have ever heard. I think he used to also sing operatic. I fell in love with his voice the first time I heard it

[@1011awesomeness]

The saddest thing for me is that when i find sick-awesome kickass music I become addicted...but when I listen to it after 100 times, the music loses it's magic and I get tired of it. I'd hate to get tired of Kamelot THE BEST FREAKIN BAND IN THE WORLD. I hope their songs never lose their magic ever and I never get tired of listening to them.

[@jameswentworth9409]

if Roy was around I kinda wanna see him and Tommy do an album together just cause I love both of their abilities of being a singer for this band

[@Thermenthrous]

I f**king love kamelot, will always be one of my favorite bands!

[@GardenOfXavius]

I cant understand why they haven't gotten more views. They are just soooo good. Favourite band over all ~ love you.

[@kornnotboy]

KAMELOT IS THE BEST BAND ON THE PLANET!

[@efischer2012]

My favourite Kamelot song...lets get it to 2 million views in remembrance of Roy!

[@TimK789]

Best metal band ever without no doubt :) They bring something new to metal that I've never heard. F*CK YEAH KAMELOT FTW!!

[@aprilharris7476]

I LOVE it...just found them! I wonder if Queensryche is one of their inspirations. Sounds a "little" bit like them.

[@cassondramousseau5155]

April H Yes actually my dad and I looked it up and that's what my dad said when I showed him this band LOL

[@rivlesbeware]

Actualy their drummer just filled in for Queensryche last year

[@ZexenXhaos]

Jesus, the chorus. I get goosebumps every time. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

[@SsecretSoul]

No importa cuantas veces la escuche, esta melodia siempre me hace estremecer... Una de mis favoritas desde luego...

[@Yvonne_2473]

Best song along with Rule The World on the Ghost Opera album! The lyrics are especially awesome in this one. Kamelot forever!

[@Onyxiana]

I love Kamelot. His voice is unique and beautiful, the genere is awesome.

[@FlixPat]

11 years later, I still haven't managed to listen to Human Stain without crying. And it's not even my favorite track from them, my undisputed favorite band. No lineup changes will ever be able to diminish the depth of my love for you guys.

[@Rune1h]

Reading this, I can't help but wonder now, when the album is out... What do you think now? I actually was in doubt to, when I first the news and started listening to Seventh Wonder. I wondered if he really was going to fit. To be honest I think he does an amazing job with Kamelot, and I am happy it was him who replaced Roy and not someone else. Yes, he is not Roy, he's Tommy, and I think he's amazing as he is.

[@VulgrimOfficial]

POTWIZZ Yes man!!!! Yes!!!!😘

[@Valtiel1605]

Kamelot truly is musical perfection

[@Ayr0music]

this song hit me so hard u.u

[@MsCookiethief]

I started listening to Kamelot just resently, and I have to say that this band is on a total different level than most of those I have listened to! Khans voice - i don't know what to say - it is incredible, magnificent, beautiful and unforgettable. No one can oust Kamelot!

[@DarkGame11]

This song is just fucking amazing!

[@Klauspicy]

My favorite song from Kamelot. Can't believe its nearly 10 years.

[@aroking]

I saw them live 6 days ago. I shook hands with Roy and ended up with four of his water bottles.

[@slyroxas]

Yeah xD, Nearly all of Kamelot's songs sound different to each other. Never get bored of them :D.

[@itsstevenix]

just for a minute....just for a minute...more...

[@aroking]

Saw them live in the 29th of October. T'was amazing, and I ended up walking away with some of Kahn's water bottles. It has got to be probably the most amazing experience of my entire life.

[@SymbolicBodom]

Beautiful memories... \m/.

[@AvengeWithDarkness]

His voice is divine... One of the best vocalists out there ,in my opinion.

[@CedricBale]

Annotation: "Watch in HD!" Me: "Alright, sure." >click quality button >see it's already on highest quality >highest quality is 240p >feel troll'd Really liking this band, though.

[@lewisdiana364]

same

[@Spacefrisian]

2007 vid after all.

[@gator9339]

Well this video is old af

[@monkeygirl3000]

I just now came across Kamelot. I was listening to symphony x and i looked over at the suggested artist list . . . . . and bam my life is changed. Where have i BEEN

[@geraldgambler7276]

that guy is way to cool were can i learn those hand movements lol

[@Okrutni]

Kamelot is not an emo band!!!! Just straight in your face power metal with an awesome singer. Sadly underrated and unknown band...here in North America.....KAMELOT ROCKS!!!!!!

[@2460none]

The tombstone with the cross at 3:18 has the date MMXXIIV, which its probably MMXXIV, which is 2024. I wonder if there is a significance, or if it's just a tombstone

[@demonAnarchy]

KAMELOT IS LIKE THE BEST SINGER EVER!! Hes voices is amazing and i love how he act in the videos. Peoples shot hear more about him. =)

[@SenpaiTorpidDOW]

His gesticulation is quite impressive even though I never even noticed it -_-

[@sinepanigav123]

I kinda see this song in a new light after seeing the video. I get the 'woe is me' feeling from this. We as humans constantly complain about how life is difficult, but when it comes down to it, we're not really willing to change anything. The line 'and it hurts to be alive' brings this out, but in the end we'll still beg 'for a minute more'.

[@ProjectJotunOfficial]

Nostalgic!

[@ShakkoX3]

Just discovered Kamelot a few days ago... This song actually moved me to tears. I hope they tour near central florida sometime. Definitely one of my fave bands now!

[@Salyadore]

The new vocalist is incredibly talented, but dammit do I miss Roy Khan. So much.

[@LejonKralemann]

Brilliant song. Brilliant band. They touch my soul.

[@ninarider5652]

I can feel you, dude.

[@Builimacen]

Kamelot is just the best band in the world for me! :) love em! ^^

[@LordTweedz]

"watch in HD!" - 240 ... guess the definition of "hd" changed quite a bit^^

[@RisingJake]

This is such an incredible song.

[@Bawnawgwa]

Just saw them live with Tommy. He was perfect! I hope they keep him. I worry with the news of nightwish abruptly getting rid of Anette... And Kamelot had Fabio after Roy and now Tommy... So I hope they settle with Tommy. His voice was an AMAZING replacement.

[@sr71sr71]

This song has such haunting vocals and has such a captivating sound. Always makes me contemplate life.

[@guadalupesanchez9613]

Is the drumer Casey Grillo? Because he looks so different in The pendulous fall

[@ivaylo.minkov]

Yes. It's him. It's little older in The pendulous fall.....

[@schmdchrs]

When I saw them the first time live, he had a cold. Instead of attempting high notes that he knew he couldn't reach, he shifted into a raspy voice... quite badass actually.

[@inappropro69]

woah, general zod sings for a metal band?

[@SaiChester]

His vocals improved a lot since this :O I was quite surprised, when I heard one of the younger recordings

[@jipak93]

This song made me leave a "human stain" on my pants.

[@vegitoxtreme]

first metal band of which I'd listen to every song.. no screamos, no emos, just metal and symphonic - feeling the powah :D

[@felipesoliman3417]

This song matches withs actual world pandemic state. Look what we've done. All the scratches in our motherland. Can we repair it someday? Or are we doomed within her fall?

[@Rhalmarius]

"No one really wants to die to save the world" These lyrics are pure win multiplied by infinity.

[@Kenubinin1]

124 people don't wish to be a child again.

[@Warheart11]

this song makes me have to fight back tears every time i hear it, and fucking NEVER cry, thats how damn moving khans vocals are, best clean vocalist inthe world

[@brandonreal916]

good ol 144p days xd

[@berkthgar]

man the vocals in this band are amazing! it suits the music perfectly imo

[@TheExjen]

@SimulereAvDetPokkerz Sorry but Kamelot was nothing before Khan.Almost everyone knew and loved Kamelot because of Roy Khan... I hope they can go on without him :/

[@Noctamul]

I love this band!!!

[@Rune1h]

I do agree, their first singer was horrible... But the music was still amazing. And now it's been a while, have you listened to their new stuff? Amazing, Tommy does an amazing job.

[@myhigherpie2]

these guys take all the cheese out of power metal and just leave complete unbridled awesomeness refined to the most perfect complex form. amazing.

[@SirGirBot]

One of my all-time favorite songs.

[@pjsmetal73]

i only been listening to this band for a couple of months, man theyre awesone, i picked up my guitar again after hearing them, anyone else from NZ into this band

[@FEDS91]

Just saw these guys last night in St. Paul, Minnesota. UNBELIEVABLE show for such a small venue. They sounded amazing and the crowd had a blast.

[@migueavila5398]

I love their videos. Kamelot is one of those bands that you simply cannot forget & dislike even if you like extreme metal.

[@vVJoeMommaVv]

holy shit what a band! i used to listen to them and people made fun of me, so i started to listen to like devildriver and shadows fall. now that i go back and listen to them again... HOLY SHIT! they're only getting better

[@tgarci2]

This is the kamelot station dude...as in the people who market their music made it and are happy people are checking the music out

[@fishbaugh666]

the sound and look of this vid, really good. kamelot is an awesome band.

[@PsychoticXZ]

its feels that way because it is, I saw them Live in Brisbane 3 weeks ago.. life fulfilled.

[@wulfjakal]

i allways cry listenin' to this music...

[@KamiSoda]

But it hurts to be alive, my friend In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by Don't you wish you were a child again Just for a minute just for a minute more

[@mazutinho]

Very... Very...Very... Good!!! a Brazilian fan of metal! Kamelot metal and yes it real! Kamelot and Epica the best !!!

[@jks2389]

My god I can't stop listening to this song its just so beautiful.

[@GeneralArchangel]

I slip into an awe-struck daze whenever I hear Kamelot play. They're positively amazing, and Kahn has a godly voice.

[@Thisismynameffs]

''we all are just driftwood passing by'' I just love the lyrics in this song
