American godfathers of sympho-power metal Kamelot announce the new live album and DVD “I Am The Empire – Live From The 013” which will be out August 14 via Napalm Records.
The majestic live album, DVD and Blu-ray, recorded at the legendary 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands, consists of 21 songs that will tug on your heartstrings, make you want to bang your head and give you a taste of Kamelot’s grandness live on stage with more than 100 minutes of live music and multiple exclusive extras, including backstage interviews of all guests, bandmembers and fans.
June 3rd, Kamelot released their first live video from “I Am The Empire – Live From The 013”, “Sacrimony” featuring Alissa White-Gluz and Elize Ryd. Besides White-Gluz and Ryd, the recording features guest appearances from Charlotte Wessels, Lauren Hart, Sascha Paeth, Eklipse and children’s choir.
Kamelot frontman Tommy Karevik on “Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)”: “The song marks the beginning of a new era as it was one of the main songs on Silverthorn, the first Kamelot album with me as the singer. Enjoy!”
Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz says: “It was a magical evening that night. It was so much fun to play such a nice long set with a packed house of fans who knew every word to every song alongside my Kam fam and girlfriends!”
Amaranthe’s Elize Ryd comments: ”It was a historical moment for me to take part in this Kamelot live-DVD recording. Let’s not forget that it was with Kamelot I began my touring life, and we toured a lot. I am so happy to finally be able to perpetuate the era of hard work and friendship with such great quality. A huge thanks to the entire Kamelot family for embracing my presence on this very special evening.”
Delain’s Charlotte Wessels adds: “It was an absolute delight performing “Under Grey Skies” with Kamelot live in 013 during their special night. It felt like a big family gathering. Thank you for including me. I am sure that this DVD will be a wonderful memento for Kamfans worldwide!”
Once Human’s Lauren Hart says: “What a MASTERPIECE!! It was a huge honor to share the stage with so many legends and witness this beautiful piece of Kamelot history!”
