Kamelot
Karma (Noise)
by Vinnie Apicella
Kamelot is an American band, yet their’s is the signature German power metal sound. Their Fourth Legacy release from ’99 was the class act of their career and one of the top metal records of the year, so as such, it’s hard to beat. The creativity, however, has not wavered and Karma is indeed on the same level as its predecessor. Opening in true curtain-raising style, “Regalis Apertura” offers a brief beginning to the story, and then opens with thunderous doses of “Forever,” a fast-paced, personally-evocative song wrought with romanticism and hope.
