Milena: After the departure of their legendary vocal powerhouse Roy Khan, Kamelot had a difficult task of picking out someone equally talented and charismatic to replace him, and the general consensus is that they couldn't have picked a better person than Tommy Karevik, the outstanding vocalist of Seventh Wonder. He didn't come to steal the show (to my slight annoyance - imagine if he went all out for this!) but to provide vocal continuity without sounding like a Roy clone, and to contribute in writing as well, for it was his ingenuity for coming up with lyrics and vocal melodies that landed him the job.

"There's a pain within, that I can't define. There's an empty space, where your love used to shine" So, Roy has left, and there is one big hole left in each and every one of us. Well, at least he is alive, thankfully unlike in the lyrics above. Yet, every true Kamelotian feels the same. At least there wasn't some mass hysteria like Nightwish's 2005 case.

If you were worried that Tommy Karevik wouldn't be able to measure up to the expectations left behind by Roy Khan...don't!

I like Fabio but I don't think he would be a good substitute for Khan.
Tommy Karevik from Seventh Wonder would be a perfect match for Kamelot, or maybe Michael Eriksen from Circus Maximus, but not Fabio.

Well, in live performances Fabio has done really well... Certainly he has a totally different voice from Khan

I prefer Fabio over either of them. I just don't like Eriksen or Karevik at all.

He could be the singer of both Rhapsody of Fire and Kamelot, right?

Hun... I guess you're right. It says he's not *leaving* RoF for Kamelot, so yeah, technically he could be in 2 bands at the same time.

Did Kamelot hire another Roy Khan (or someone even better than him)? That's the question

Better than/equal to Khan is seriously debatable. Best advice I can give is listen to the single for the album (it's "Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)": it's only available through iTunes at the moment) and some of Tommy's work with Seventh Wonder (link is to the song "Welcome To Mercy Falls", but I also like the ballad "Tears For A Father").

Just watched the video. Tommy's an awesome singer! He's not as great as Khan, but he puts a lot of feeling into song, too! Now I can hardly wait for the new album!

It has leaked, and so far it is WAY better than Poetry for the Poisoned. That's not really saying a lot, but I'm certainly enjoying it.

Yup. Now you know why they take Karevik;]

FOr me album is really good. OFC there's no Roy, but still good. I love Torn and Sacrimony. Best tracks IMO.

I was always surprised to hear people find a huge resemblance to Roy in Tommy's voice. Maybe you just need to play a song sung by Tommy and a song sung by Roy immediately after to hear the difference. There's only a sliiiiight resemblance in the lower range and that's about it.

I agree, especially if you're familiar with Tommy's work with Seventh Wonder. I do have to say that his voice is way different from SW in Silverthorn though, but that doesn't mean it's a Roy clone or anything (like I've seen some people implying). He's fitting really well with Kamelot which is all that matters for me!

I'm liking the album. Although I couldn't quite find any songs that I think I'm going to obsess over like Karma, Forever, Center of the Universe or March of Mephisto, they are all pretty solid in my opinion. I think my one disappointment so far is the title track, I found the other songs to be more memorable.

I don't regret pre-ordering. Now for my limited edition to arrive *rubs hands together*
