Info for Eternity (30th Anniversary Edition; 2025 Remaster)

The legendary US power metal band Kamelot will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album Eternity with a remastered 30th Anniversary Edition.

"Eternity" takes us back to where it all began for Kamelot. This is therefore the first of just two albums by them to feature Mark Vanderbilt on vocals, as he and drummer Richard Warner would quickly move on after the recording of the following "Dominion".

While the music here may not be that which now defines the band, there are nevertheless strong indications of their potential. The symphonic intro to the opening title track for example offers the reassurance that the band are confident enough to embellish what would otherwise be a straightforward rock/metal number.

The sound is that of Iron Maiden and the myriad of bands who have followed in their path. Vanderbilt has a strong voice which is suited perfectly to the style the band adopt here. His delivery is very much in the Bruce Dickinson way as he delivers suitably imaginative lyrics. The track actually has a reasonably prog structure, but while the guitar work of Thomas Youngblood is impressive, it is very much in the multiple notes to the second vein of the metal style.

Camelot
is a rather atypical American melodic power metal band with a progressive twist and orchestral/classical influences.

The band was formed in 1991 by Thomas Youngblood and Richard Warner. In 1994 Kamelot signed a record deal and released their debut album Eternity in August the following year. Dominion followed in 1996. In the spring of 1997, drummer Richard Warner and singer Mark Vanderbilt were exchanged. Kamelot found replacements in Casey Grillo and former Conception singer Roy Khan joining ongoing production on Siege Perilous. In 1999 the newly formed band returned to the Gate Studio in Wolfsburg to produce their fourth album The Fourth Legacy. In 2001 the band presented their fifth studio work Karma. The live CD One Cold Winters Night, released in 2006, contains live excerpts from the concert in the Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo. Guests at this gig include Simone Simons (singer of symphonic metal band Epica), Thomas Frau Marie and Snowy Shaw (ex-King Diamond/Dream Evil). The Ghost Opera album was released in the summer of 2007 and is stylistically a bit darker. The video for the Ghost Opera theme song was shot in Serbia. Ghost Opera received top ratings worldwide, the German Hardline Magazine awarded e.g. B. 10 out of 10 points. In the fall of 2010, they released their ninth studio album, Poetry for the Poisoned.

On April 21, 2011, lead singer Roy Khan announced that he was leaving the band due to health reasons. He had previously missed the Poetry for the Poisened tour and was replaced by Rhapsody of Fire's Fabio Lione.

This album contains no booklet.
