Kamelot - Poetry For The Poisoned (Special Edition)

SKU KMG-CD-4401
"The legendary American/Norwegian Metal Masters KAMELOT are back with their ninth studio release, "Poetry For The Poisoned", their most diverse and complete album to date. Initially written in the remote woods of Norway, and with final songwriting sessions completed in Germany, the dynamic compositions of "Poetry For The Poisoned" take the listener on an emotional journey that touches both the mind and soul with its mix of Progressive elements, Modern Rock, dark arts and, of course, Power Metal!

"I think this album is by far our most diverse, fusing new ideas and elements along with the traditional KAMELOT sound and style that we have established over the years," states KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood. "It comes at a time where many people around the world are searching for something to grab on to spiritually, including myself. I recently lost my mother and to be honest it was very hard on me. So there are some melancholy moods reflected on this album."

"Poetry For The Poisoned" was recorded at Gate Studios in Wolfsburg, Germany with producers Sascha Paeth and Miro and features guest appearances by Simone Simons (EPICA), Gus G. (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIREWIND), Björn "Speed" Strid (SOILWORK) and Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE, JON OLIVA'S PAIN)."

Digipak special edition comes with a bonus DVD featuring videos, live footage, unreleased bonus track, and interviews.

Much speculation over this new release and must admit, the jury's still our for me...It's good...but not great. I struggle with the lack of any originality. It sounds like any other Kamelot CD (better than Ghost Opera). Each track tends to follow the same formula as previous tracks or other Kamelot CD's...It's a shame they are not more adventurous like we started to witness in the Black Halo (more progressive). Nothing here to convince me to invest on the next CD.. S
