Interlude 3, Feast of the Vain, On the Coldest Winter Night

[PixelizedSnowflake]

I love Feast for the Vain. It really captures the emotion it's supposed to. :D

[AntCakeforLife]

I wish they'd have more videos... Kamelot is my favourite band thanks to their incredible music and meaning. I can't wait for their next album =D

[rcg1989]

@AntCakeforLife Lol, kamelot doesn't need videos. Their awesomely epic music paints a mental picture and leaves it up to the listener to see it how they want. Plus, video's are so cliche and lame these days.

[AntCakeforLife]

@rcg1989 True, true.

[GammaAkutobi]

A Feast for the Vain is my favorite from Epica, but March of Mephisto is my favorite from The Black Halo.

[littledeadybear]

One of my favorite songs by these guys. Really just a fun song. Gets you pumped up very quickly.

[pepemordor]

I don't understand why they only use Sagrath's voice in 2 songs and not always when Mephisto sings

[littledeadybear]

Hm... I think because Sargrath's voice is very blatantly dark sounding. In this song, Mephisto is trying to persuade him and show how grand of a life he can give him. It sounds more pleasing to the ears this way, more trustworthy even. I thought it'd be a bit off setting if all the sudden you heard this demonic voice =) I'd get the heck outta that palace.

[XManXHunterX]

@pepemordor OH THATS EASY BECUASE HE IS disguised like a normal person so he cant speak with his demonic voice so he talk like a normal person but when he dont need that he talk with demonic voice

[TheMasterSword16]

@pepemordor they didn't hire Shagrath to sing until the Black Halo, so Khan sang all the Mephisto parts on Epica. Maybe they didn't have the idea to bring in a guest vocalist until recording the Black Halo. but i do understand the theory that his true demonic nature isn't revealed until the Black Halo, so he has the more majestic voice of Khan to deceive Ariel.

Kamelot are Gods!

[shadowfyst997]

is there actually like a full length movie where kamelot used all fo their songs?

[PhoenixPhire22]

No... that would be awesome though...

[bombardier07]

Many wish, but no concert would be that long and Roy Khan's vocal cords would snap under the weight of so many songs...

[callofgears91]

nice, a feast for the vain is one of my favorites (if not my favorite) song from the album, shows how easy humans can be tempted

[Opreaismylife10692]

Does anyone have the words?

[ThePerrinAybara]

"[MEPHISTO:]

Everyone is here

The feast can soon begin

Vanity we celebrate

My favourite of sins

[ThePerrinAybara]

[ARIEL:] Chandeliers so grand That heaven sees the shine And my friend declares Everything I look at could be mine It's a miracle Life till now has been a waste You have proved to me By your hand I'm truly graced Unbelievable Gold and glitter blinding me So adorable All these women from my fantasies

[ThePerrinAybara]

[MEPHISTO:]

Come with me my little ones

Let's revel for the free

Raise your glass and praise the fact

How easy life can be

[ThePerrinAybara]

[ARIELEVERYBODY:] In the splendour of the night I've found company Once again I feel that life's begun All the wrongs seem to be right Drowned in ecstasy Every star is like a newborn sun May the life I knew be gone I accept the deed But one point we have to modify If I wish to linger on In a state of still Only then I'm yours the day I die" - Feast for the Vain

[ArcticaDream]

Great job explaining the story, I hadnt quite understood it till now.. Its really good.. :)

[meut14]

Goethe's Faust, having read the entire book, is an excellent work of fiction. It will change your life forever. I promise. Get the version by Walter Kaufmann.

[lOVESKULLX]

O_e

[SoraMatt]

A great album, along with the Black Halo. Nothing is more impressive than a metal band telling a tale of selling one's soul to find the 'Ultimate Truth' and finding out that love is that truth.

[Darkpassionply]

I really enjoy your videos and love Goethe's Faust. Are you going to finish up the Black Halo summaries?

[InvaderTak176]

I think it is already done

[KralleCR]

that's a good modification on the bet but being with helena again may sell his soul quickly

[zigil1]

There's an excerpt of Bach Concerto grosso at the beginning! :)

[ecanimator]

never read Goethe's faust. was it good?

[maxiart]

the little i read, i found it very good

[Reaper93Nixon]

Why didn't u continue? :D

[maxiart]

'been meaning to, actually...

Perhaps ill continue when these midterm exams end

[NixNay90]

Cool. All i can say.
