The album that got me into Kamelot. It was the first time I had ever heard Roy Khan sing too, and I was absolutely blown away by his voice. I know many people consider Epica, Karma or The Black Halo to be better than this album, but I have always thought otherwise. Absolute masterpiece, it starts strongly with New Allegiance and The Fourth Legacy, then just goes on and on increasing in quality. I really can't pick any favorite song in this album; They are all brilliant.

10/10.

The Black Halo was disappointing.

 

[TylerTheNuke]

So, if I liked epica and the black halo, I'm assuming I'll like this as well?

 

[Dark Sorceror]

The Black Halo was disappointing.

Not really. They changed their style, it was more Prog Metal than Power Metal. The only disappointing album is Siege Perilous.

So, if I liked epica and the black halo, I'm assuming I'll like this as well?

This is better than both those albums.

 

[BloodSword]

I don't really like Power metal, but these guys clean up the stage compared to most bands in that genre. I thought the "Black Halo" was a very good album. Excellent vocalist in Roy Khan, and amazing attention to detail. Their other albums, I haven't really heard.

The Black Halo was disappointing.

I agree. "When the Lights are Down" was the only song worth hearing.

 

[PowerMetal1984]

As a matter of fact, I just got this CD in the mail today. Been listening to it all day. Damn good album!

 

[Hatebreeder]

I agree. "When the Lights are Down" was the only song worth hearing.

I was really looking forward to hearing "March of Mephisto" when I heard Shagrath was doing guest vocals, but you can barely tell he's even in it.

 

[LORDEJAILBAIT]

I'm a huge fan of this album. The song "The Fourth Legacy" makes me wanna dance haha

Yeah. I'm not such a huge Shag fan though, so that didn't make a difference in my liking of the album.
