Kamelot have kept with their promise on having a big announcement on January 12th. Well, today’s the day as the group has announced their brand new album, The Awakening, is scheduled to arrive on March 17th via Napalm Records. To celebrate the news, these metal masterminds have shared a video for the new single, “One More Flag in the Ground.”
Vocalist Tommy Karevik comments on the track:
“The main focus on this video and song was to have a metaphor for the struggles of fighting disease or illness, whether it being physical or mental. Each step of healing and recovery is another Flag in the Ground. With every little step, one more victory won…”
Guitarist Thomas Youngblood discusses the album:
“With The Awakening, we have one of our most diverse albums in years. We’ve fused elements from progressive, power and gothic metal to symphonic and melodic metal on this one. Working with incredible guest artists from around the music industry and having producer Sascha Paeth and Jacob Hansen mixing gave us another step up on overall sound. This album offers everything to KAMELOT fans and also reaches beyond borders to new metal and hard rock legions.”
