KAMELOT - Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire) ft. Lauren Hart (Official Live Video) | Napalm Records

[@rachelluna4010]

Tommy literally sounds better on this live show than he does in the studio version. What a melodic tone! He must practice a lot. Could listen to this all day.

[@TheRogueDM]

The drums as well have so much energy. I'm loving that double kick.

[@DoppeD]

Sounds very much like a triggered sample to me. Nothing wrong with that, though.

[@iamaduckquack]

@@DoppeD What does that mean?

[@kristijanfistrek9055]

@@DoppeD everyone uses them live, especially considering at what high speeds he is blasting that double bass 😄 it wouldn't cut through the mix as much and as well as it does. The dude is an animal.

[@mrbouncelol]

@@iamaduckquack A sensor on the drum detects a hit and then triggers a sample to play. It means that the sound of the drum will be consistent every time even if the player is not hitting it with the same force each time. It's a common technique used in live drums these days, but it is controversial because you're technically not hearing the musician hit the drum, but a recorded sample each time they hit (and some less talented drummers use it as a crutch). But it does mean that performances are very consistent and sound great each night, which is good too, because people wait for years and pay a lot of money to see a good show, and musicians are human and aren't always at their best every night.

[@gridsquare]

How is it possible that this guy sounds better on stage than in a studio?! I just listened to this song on Spotify and it doesn't even compare to what I'm hearing right now.

[@LiveErrors]

the studio version is very restrained, Tommy, Lauren, the instruments, all of it. Here they arent

[@LadyLazarus1027]

i love the fact that people in kamelot music video’s comments don’t argue over which of their vocalists is the best, unlike in many other symphonic metal bands.

[@filbert351]

To be fair, before they released the Sacrimony video, there were lots of comments comparing Tommy to Roy (I absolutely loved both of them then and I do now). It's always unfair to compare Tommy's phone clip videos to Roy's live DVD prior to this. I'm happy that Tommy is getting more love now since he has a DVD now

[@LadyLazarus1027]

@@filbert351 yes comparisons did exist a few years ago, but I have noticed that they're gradually stopping. which is only fair because Tommy is incredible, and getting up to Roy's level is not easy at all yet all his performances have been perfect

[@renatonuneslima7995]

Kamelovers are the best!

[@ayshaooms7223]

Nice subtle dig at nightwish lol

[@sirgog]

as a Nightwish fan this is a gut punch! But very true.

[@aperson9847]

i find it kind of funny but mostly just cool that kamelot always get badass ladies to do the growling in their music. it's a nice subversion of what you'd usually expect to see.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Love how Lauren Hart switches her voice from enchanting to full on growling all in one, what an amazing singer and Tommy Karevik is just kicking ass as always on the vocals.

[@Lancenova]

The audio quality on this is superb. 🤯

[@KAMELOT]

Mixed by Sascha Paeth! He was also on site ;)

[@nickmccoy85]

They sound amazing at the shows. Their instruments don't get muddied into a wall of noise like a lotta metal bands playing bigger venues.

[@Javierm0n0]

Must've been the booth in the middle of the crowd. Looked like they had recording equipment set up.

[@TheAniki94]

@@KAMELOT well tell this dude his mix is amazingly good, first time I see a live recorded song with this quality on KZbin!!

Lauren... what a gift for metal

[@Ibarra2002]

Kamelot FOREVERRRRRRRRRR

[@bobbycallaway1819]

Kamelot casually killing the home concert game. This looks like it's going to be another must own, like One Cold Winter's Night before it.

[@rocioiribe5841]

I was just watching One Cold Winter's Night today. Hadn't seen it in years. I'm like "whoa cirque du solei of concert videography" so fun to watch!

[@Vestu]

Being a Kamelot fan since 1999 it warms my heart to see them this strong in 2020 :) what a performance.

[@mattkemerait]

Tommy's stage presence is off the damn charts. His voice is insane. What a band. Had to circle back to give Lauren Hart some props as well.

[@drewsaltzgaber1644]

Why isn't this band HUGE!!!. God what talent

[@Khazandar]

Because, unfortunately, talent doesn't equal mass appeal.

[@zell6108]

How anyone could not like this is way beyond me.

[@marcoschamorro1253]

Kamelot one of the best power metal band ever, if not the best

[@stunningcactus978]

One of metal's best vocalists, easily.

[@alexandrahogan8499]

Obsessed

[@LaughingSkull451]

Lauren is a good singer! She really should sing on future Once Human songs.

[@MiguelSolans]

What do you mean on "She really should sing on future Once Human songs"? Isn't she the lead singer of the band?

[@RainbowColorWaffles]

@@MiguelSolans She mostly screams and growls on Once Human songs.

[@ashwinirabidas9080]

@@MiguelSolans she is

[@TempleOfFive]

@@MiguelSolans I think he means with clean vocals. I'm no expert on Once Human so i'm not totally sure that she never sings clean with them or not... but that's my guess. She's got a great voice, clean or growl, regardless. Very impressed by this video and hope they put this out as a digital purchase as well.

[@rushzil2112]

I'm sure he means more cleans. She has some, but I agree more would be nice, she's such an incredible and underrated female singer.

[@walanggustiyala3897]

Only in the empire of Kamelot you can't tell the difference between studio recording and live version. Both perfectly clean and clear, their musical craftsmanship is divine.

[@skullair52]

Love me some Lauren Hart 🤘💜🤘

[@wardozermusic]

the dude's voice just does it man. so truly great

[@FlixPat]

It is with great pride that I'm here, in tears, thanking God, the universe and all forces what contributed for me to be there, in that exact front row, 6 years ago. It was the best day of my life, and the fact that I represented Brazil there, flag and all, makes me even more emotional. Love you guys, miss you so much 🖤

[@Burks2121]

Dude has one of the best voices in music. Damn....

[@markolumovic2750]

They have Lauren,Alissa and Elize as "back up" vocalists that is impressive little list.Poor Karevik has to do duets with all three of them some people really have it hard..

[@SrFranciscoDAnconia]

And Charlotte!

I agree!

Ayyyy Tommy❤

[@borisaguirre2290]

Look at Tommy, man! So inspirational

[@DragicaOfficial]

whoever says they are not bewitched by Tommy's imposing force and command, they simply haven't seen them live yet! The entire Kamelot energy can never be fairly presented via screen

[@MrsSerena84]

He is captivating

[@geraldmerkowitz4360]

God I miss concerts

[@tristan702]

How does this man sound so good live. And Lauren’s growls sound better live too.

[@gggfx4144]

This sounds amazing, and I love Tommy's understated style - just chilling in a hoodie and letting the singing do the work, so inspiring

[@mcdowellbri]

Was at a really small club before the album came out, recognized the growl before she even walked on stage, yelled out and she came over and fist bumped me for knowing who she was

[@andrefm9]

Hadn't listened much since silverthorn, always going back to fourth legacy and karma albums. This has blown my mind, way to go Kamelot!!!!! \m/

[@dasGieltjE]

Sound quality is excelent, cannot wait for the full release, only shame is that the audience sounds tame (we absolutely weren't!)

[@ravouswintersong6205]

Not sure I'd agree, was at the live show and the people around us stood still for most the show, didn't even sing along :(. Couldn't move further to the front because I already couldn't see anything from where I stood, Dutch people are so tall 😅

[@AlexeySeverin]

The final part is epicness in its purest form!

[@TheRogueDM]

Wow this song sounds SO much better live.

[@trabass0469]

I love the music the vocalists n others..they are just great.. Everyone should know this song(or maybe its only my opinion).

[@yogawarriorgirl]

She has some WICKED screams! I like this combination.

[@notdynomonkey]

Ya I ordered this dvd. Sound quality is AMAZING and epic! All the guest singers on this tour are an awesome addition to already perfect vocals!!

[@Symptomofsynesthesy]

Beautyfull, even if I still miss Roy, but this singer is really amazing.

[@Drey0x55]

Saw them in NYC last fall after seeing them last back in 2005 I think, and it was a dream. The quality, the energy, the chemistry with the crowd, unmatched ❤️ I can't wait till live concerts are back man

Tomy Karevik makes singing look easy. I mean, such quality even LIVE! That's some hardcore talent right there!

[@helenkeller9182]

The most impressive thing here is his progress. On Silverthorn's live videos Tommy sounded quite weak, and on this one he just totally hails it.

[@diegosolis9681]

[@gloriousvengeance-band9158]

Love the direction they have been taken since they included female harsh vocals into their songs. May I suggest Melissa Bonny or Adrienne Cowan for future collaborations?

[@stephanschoneberg3453]

Melissa would be great ... or just use all of them: Alissa, Lauren, Melissa, Angela - maybe Tatiana (in no particular order)... ... ... ah well - maybe you should first bring out this marvellous live-album and than start doing some kind of (don't know what to call it) 3-hour Metal-Musical ... ... I may would kill for being there ;)
