US power metal luminaries Kamelot has shared an instrumental demo of ‘Millennium’, taken from their forthcoming deluxe 3CD and 5 vinyl LP boxset ‘Ascension (1995-1998)’. ‘Ascension (1995-1998)’ brings together the band’s first three full-lengths and is set for release on September 19th, 2025.

Kamelot’s ‘Eternity’, ‘Dominion’ and ‘Siége Perilous’ are brought together on vinyl for the very first time with a new remaster from Jacob Hansen (Volbeat and Epica), as well as previously unreleased demo tracks for ‘Look Through These King’s Eyes’, ‘Millennium’ and ‘Eternal Flame’. Having been out of print for two decades, ‘Ascension 1995-1998’ is a deluxe box-set package with curation handled by guitarist/songwriter Thomas Youngblood.

‘Ascension 1995-1998’ showcases the origins of Kamelot, from original vocalist Mark Vanderbilt’s two album tenure on ‘Eternity’ and ‘Dominion’ all the way through to the introduction of long-term talismanic vocalist Roy Khan on his studio debut, ‘Siége Perilous’, in 1998.

Accompanying the boxset is a 20 page full-colour booklet with in-depth liner notes, featuring a fascinating insight into the band’s history through interviews with Thomas Youngblood, and a full-color poster.

KAMELOT‘s latest album, The Awakening, debuted at #2 on the US Current Hard Music Albums chart and #27 on the Current Album Sales chart, and connected with fans and critics alike – touted by many as the best late-era KAMELOT release to date! The album enters the band’s legacy as their most massive and diverse offering yet – mixing symphonic, gothic, melodic, progressive and power metal styles while yielding some of the heaviest tracks in the band’s history. Having reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as The Fourth Legacy (1999), The Black Halo (2005), Silverthorn (2012), Haven (2015, #1 US Hard Rock Albums), and most recently 2018’s acclaimed The Shadow Theory (#2 US Hard Music Albums), KAMELOT’s intense brand of ultramodern gothic and symphonic theatricality is amplified further and with more emotionality than ever on The Awakening.

Showcasing the incomparable, stage-seasoned vocal acrobatics of Tommy Karevik and increasingly airtight, renowned technical teamwork of guitarist Thomas Youngblood, drummer Alex Landenburg, keyboardist Oliver Palotai and bassist Sean Tibbetts, KAMELOT’s score-like 13th studio album is accented by guest contributions from the likes of Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and renowned instrumentalists like violinist Florian Janoske and cellist Tina Guo. The Awakening features crystal clear modern production helmed by the band and longtime producer Sascha Paeth, plus mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen of Hansen Studios.

“10/10 “Masterpiece!” – Metal-Temple

“The Awakening is KAMELOT’s best album in almost 20 years…” – The Prog Mind (US), 9/10

“The Awakening is KAMELOT performing at the top of their game.” – New Noise Magazine (US)

“The Awakening is probably the hottest candidate for the (melodic) metal album of the year.” – Rock It! (DE) – 10/10
