@FlamingGaming1 Oh ya for sure, I love this band now. When my friend sent me a link to this I had the same reaction as when I found out Pantera used to be a glam metal band
meh, i cant get into this guys voice. the way he emphasizes the end of some of his notes to the point he's almost squeeking, it doesn't really sound right. he holds the notes well. not anywhere near as good as roy khan, but still he's a decent singer at least.
as for the music, very good. the guitar melodies haven't progressed much since then, which is somewhat lovable as it goes to show kamelot were great musically since the beginning.
not as good as khan's stuff, but still good enough.
I don't think that roy khan can sing better the songs on the first albums and is really silly to invent such false contests between former singers. it's really childish...:))
I love a lot of Kamelot's music, but what is up with the first 55 seconds of the song? It doesn't fit with anything; it's like it was placed there arbitrarily.
yes its maybe worse than newer kamelot 4th legacy-ghost opera (not the new album) but it sure matches with the bands name and has a nostalgic medieval sound that newer stuff havent
I like the instrumentals when it starts to get heavy, but I (no offense) dislike the vocals...I honestly don't really think he's that great of a singer.
Kamelot were gnarly back then! Then they became too obsessed with gothic themes and darkness, lol. They were awesome till Ghost Opera at least.. But I can't forget this album.. Musically it totally matches the name of the band.
I definitely don't see what's wrong with this guy. In fact, despite Khan being a technically more skilled vocalist, I enjoy this guy's style more. He reminds me of a lot of 80's power metal like "Keeper"-era Helloween, Gamma Ray's debut, and early Fates Warning.
Not a major fan of Kamelot pre-Khan, as seems to be the trend around here. However, people shouldn't rag on this guys voice, 'cause he's really good. He's on par (better than quite a few) with your average metal singer on the scene today.
Wow, I was always under the impression that this singer was rubbish; but he's not actually that bad. Khan is miles better ofcourse, but this actually still sounds good, kinda like Queensryche :)
@Methrt3 I've heard this comparison many times and I sort of agree. However, Midnight is much better than Mark Vanderbilt. If you actually know anything,this guy isn't a terrible singer by any means. I actually kind of like old Kamelot. I must admit though Khan is still better than Mark Vanderbilt
You can definitely tell the sound difference between the old albums and the newer ones. I like how over the years Kamelot started as a power metal band to something that can't be defined as a sole genre anymore.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I told myself I wouldn't listen to Kamelot before Khan. I thought it would ruin the magic...... it totally did : ( I don't mean to flame Vanderbilt, but Khan is just the best singer I have ever heard. I guess you'd have to be to sing opera!
Mark Vanderbilt should never leave Kamelot... Of course i admire Khan's voice but i prefer his "Conception" albums. Don't get me wrong but this is the Kamelot i loved back in the 90's
That's Kamelot from back when they had Vanderbilt as a singer.
I'm, uh, not a fan either. It's interesting to listen to this older stuff and say "And now they're one of the best bands in existance... now THAT took talent."
i think khan has better techniques than mark. and a better voice. I'm not saying that mark is bad or anything, but... for somehow, it seams to me like he often tries to(sorry if i write things wrong here, i'm not english) rush trough his whole vocal specter. and sometimes that makes a bit mess-upp.
and btw, it's an overall cool song with awesome guitar play, as always when Thomas youngblood is involved
I like Khan's voice better too but I love the earlier Kamelot's music too. It is almost a mix between Queensryche and Iron Maiden....bizarre in a good way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mark isn't bad? OMG, he's awesome, farly better than Khan... He really reminds me the great Midnight (RIP), and the first two Kamelot albums are awesome, real us power in Crimson Glory style!
It really has that "new band" feel to it (it's forgivable, because they were a new band at this point). Mark would sound better in a different genre. He's not a terrible singer, he is singing the wrong thing. Maybe something with a more pure progressive or classic rock style.
Mark is not bad at all, even most of you think otherwise. When I bought "Eternity" on tape, right after it came out, I was blown away! And Mark played a huge roll in that. My favurite song from ALL the albums is "Call of the Sea" from this album!
I'd say you can hardly compare their newer albums with the first two ones. Although I prefer the newer stuff (mainly from Karma - The black halo) I tend to think about it like they are two different bands.
btw I agree with you (at least) two concerning Mark
But he does have potential to be a very good singer. But he does this stupid nasally shit and sometimes James Hetfields his voice and that's fucking annoying.
His voice sounds kind of like Geoff Tate or Geddy Lee in terms of timbre. Not as good as them though.
Maybe I'll do it some other time. My parents set parental controls on the computer, and for some reason, they are completely randomized. So I can watch a video one day and the next it is blocked.
I watched a different Kamelot "Snow" video and the song is kickass.
Pretty solid! I didn't think I would like this as much as I did. They sound a little like Iced Earth
