American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT will release their new album, "Ghost Opera" on the following dates:

Germany: June 1

"Ghost Opera" will be KAMELOT's third release for SPV/Steamhammer Records.

"Ghost Opera" was recorded and mixed at Gate Studios and Pathway Studios in Wolfsburg, Germany with producers Sascha Paeth and Miro. Artwork was handled by Mattias Norén with contributions by Alexandra V. Bach, Liliana Sanchez and Derek Gores. A limited-edition digipack version of the CD will include the bonus cut "The Pendulous Fall" along with a bonus DVD containing the video for the album's title track, "Ghost Opera", shot by director Ivan Colic of Serbia's ICode team as well as the making of the "Ghost Opera" video. The limited edition will contain a special extended booklet as well.

KAMELOT's guitarist Thomas Youngblood states: "We are very excited about the new tour and album release this year. 'Ghost Opera' is full of new and varied elements for us and the fans. This will be our most ambitious stage show ever as well."

In good KAMELOT tradition, "Ghost Opera" includes an array of guests, exotic instuments and dives into new musical territory.

"This is certainly another leap forward for KAMELOT, with what I think is our best, most exciting and important production to date," says KAMELOT vocalist Khan.

KAMELOT's current lineup is as follows:

Khan - Vocals
Thomas Youngblood - Guitars
Glenn Barry - Bass
Oliver Palotai – Keys
Casey Grillo - Drums

KAMELOT's world tour 2007-2008 kicks off this March 28 in Europe. Special guests in Europe and North America are LEAVES' EYES.
 
This might possibly be one of the best covers ever.

God there's some good stuff coming out this year.
 
One of my favorite groups. Great cover. I do hope they swing by their hometown again for this tour. I will be there if they do.
 
I hate to judge a book by it's cover, but some of those song titles seem a tad unorthodox for Kamelot. Anyways, really looking forward to this one. :kickass:
 
June 5 can't arrive fast enough... To say that I was eagerly anticipating this album would be an understatement <--- and that also happens to be an understatement. :lol:
