Album Description
American Melodic Metal masters Kamelot are back with the follow-up to their breakthrough epic The Black Halo. Ghost Opera is simply one of the most diverse metallic listening experiences of the year, containing all of the melody, power, passion and crunch that have earned them the undying respect of metal-heads around the country and around the world. The first pressing contains a bonus DVD featuring the video of Ghost Opera and a making of feature. Catch Kamelot on tour across North America late this summer!

Kamelot's latest power metal offering seems unlikely to win the collective the kind of major attention its sought for more than a decade now. While vocalist Roy Khan still emits his signature siren wail and guitarist Thomas Youngblood crafts riffs that crunch with more power than your average fast food taco, the band still lacks a unique identity, alternating between its status as a Queensryche retread or vying for listeners more attuned to Korn and Avenged Sevenfold. "Rule the World" certainly stands as one of the outfit's heaviest works to date and "Mourning Star" carries with it its own kind of majestic beauty but repeat listens reveal that Ghost Opera is little more than by-the-numbers power metal, of the kind that didn’t really work when Helloween released Keeper of the Seven Keys two decades ago and still fails to satisfy today.––Jedd Beaudoin

Customer Reviews

Mediocrity at best
I have heard sooooooo many things about Kamelot, and most of them were good. Most power metal bands' latest albums are usually never the best place to start and that's where I think I went wrong here.

I really was not expecting much to begin with, and even then, I was disappointed. Not too many catchy choruses or memorable solos or anything... The album just doesn't stick out among many other power metal albums. Uhh, there's really not much else to say. I want to get more into Kamelot. To anyone else, this is not a good place to start in their discography.

heard one song????
Well in that case you have heard it all

All the song sound exactly the same.

When you want to hear some great power\prog metal

Try savatage

This album is boring boring boring!!!!!

Great album, outrageous Amazon review!
It's unbelievable that someone as ignorant as this Amazon reviewer can write music review for a living! With a name like his, something like Red Boudoir, no wonder he's confused! The only common feature of Khan and Geoff Tate is they both have short hair. Comparing Kamelot's catchy power fast-driven metal to Korn's subpar monotonous rapping thrashy metal is a disgrace! I don't wanna even talk about the other second rate band, A7X. My nephew is a Korn fan, he never heard of Deep Purple. That tells you how different Kamelot's fans are from the listeners of those bands Boudoir foolishly claimed Kamelot is emulating.
