BIO

Kamelot was founded in 1991 by guitarist Thom Youngblood and drummer Richard Warner and based out of Florida. In 94 Kamelot signed to Noise Records Germany. In 95 their debut album "Eternity" was released. The band consisted of Youngblood, Mark Vanderbilt-vocals, Glenn Barry-bass, Dave Pavlicko-keyboards, and Warner. Eternity earned praise from both critics and fans and Kamelot was voted as one of the most promising new comers in Metal.

In 96 their second album "Dominion" was released. It received even more attention than "Eternity". Fans and sales would increase over the next year and Kamelot was being touted as one of the new leaders in Melodic Metal from the US.

Following the success of "Dominion" many tour opportunities became available, however, Vanderbilt and Warner could not tour and there appeared to be no possibilty that they would ever be able too. Kamelot's first goal was to find a new drummer and Casey Grillo was hired after one audition. Many singers were auditioned but none were suitable until Roy Khan (formerly of the band Conception) came along.

With the new Kamelot ready, work began on the next album. "Siege Perilous" was released in 1998. This album as with the first two was highly praised by fans and critics. Kamelot's first tour of Europe followed.

After the tour was completed the band took some time off to write and relax. Youngblood spent time in Virginia and Khan's native Norway to get fresh ideas for the new material. With the new material written, Youngblood enlisted Sascha Paeth to produce. Paeth is known for his work with Rhapsody and Angra and his own band Heaven's Gate. With the producer and songs set, preproduction began in Florida. In August 99 recording began in Germany. Keyboardist Miro (who was worked with Paeth and Rhapsody) would work on the album. Work was completed in November. The new album "The Fourth Legacy" is set to be released in Feb. 2000 and should set a new standard for Kamelot and the Melodic Metal genre...
