KAMELOT bassist Sean Tibbetts has checked in with the following pre-Christmas tale:

“I have been asked about the brace on my leg in recent pics and the story goes like this:

Once upon a time in a land far far away in the ancient year 2007 there was an island called England. Now, in this land was a city that known as London (‘eww, ahh’ says the children). On one cold winters night a magical band of players descended on this mystical land for an evening of sheer musical bliss. The name of these traveling nomads was Kamelot (children now listening with open ears and wide eyes… ‘Tell us more, Sean!’).

Now these players brought with them a new bassist.(with stunning good looks, amazingly talented and a huge……bass ) lol. The lights dimmed , the crowd roared and the first note was struck. The newly anointed bassist leaped on to the stage… where he quickly fell on his face! The stunning bassist said to himself ‘I don’t feel so stunning lying on my face.’ Which was agreed upon by the young wizard, Youngblood. He was heard stating ‘That’s not cool, get up!’

The damage was done. And so the tale was written, the bassist finished the tour in a cast on a stool. The bassist waited until now to get it fixed. The End.”

As previously reported, Kamelot recently issued a new video for their song ‘Necropolis’ which can be seen below. Guitarist Thomas Youngblood commented, “With this video, we gave Owe (director) free reign to create something unique and visually stunning. Him and his team did a fantastic job!”

In other news, the band is busy working on new songs and continuing to review audition videos for the singer position. “We are getting real close to making a choice, there are some amazingly talented singers out there,” states Kamelot’s bassist Sean Tibbetts. “We are taking our time on this, the vocals for the new album will be done last, like always. So there is no rush to make the decision now.”

Kamelot will return to Gate Studios/Germany starting in January with Sascha Paeth producing. The production is expected to be several months long and will include special guests, orchestra arrangements and much more. This album will be the follow up to Poetry For The Poisoned. “The new songs are really coming along great, lots of variation, melody and energy,” adds Kamelot’s guitarist Thomas Youngblood. Next live show for Kamelot will be the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise in January.
