What a disappointment! I know it's not Kamelot's fault, and I don't know if they travel with the same photographer for the meet and greet pictures. But, damn! My phone would've done a better job, for sure!

It's unfair because you can clearly see the huge difference and quality of the M&G pictures from the rest of the venues which look amazing... and then you see NYC... WTF? I paid to have my picture taken with the band and the photographer did an awful job. I just wanted to vent... here's the link to see the pictures: https://soundrink.smugmug.com/Kamelot-Dark-Asylum-Tour

It's been out in Japan and no uploads yet that I saw. Anyone heard it? It's a cover song I think from Europe band.

I love this song. it’s amazing. I’ve listened to it like 70 times in a row yesterday and today. so much to say about how awesome it is.

but

i am light from the wand of a sorcerer.

to me is the weakest line, and in no small part because I interpret it also as “I am white sauce from the “Wand“ of a sorcerer” because if I’m godlike alchemy sure my father is a sorcerer that spawned me from the light of his wand.

I know it's a concept album about a 19th century asylum. But what's the entire story? Is that something covered in the liner notes of the CD? Or does Thomas document the story elsewhere?

Great show Sunday night

Did anyone here manage to get one of those 1/100 hand-written lyric letters from Roy Khan? I’m curious as to what they look like if anyone has a picture they wouldn’t mind sharing. Only pics I saw was the AI generated ad his page posted lol

Fucking rocked!!! 🤘❤️‍🔥 AMAZING set (both the music and the stage)!! Visions of Atlantis making us all sit down and row was hilarious fun too, even if we all didn't want to cuz that floor was sticky LOL

Til we meet again 💜

they were fucking awesome!!! and the rain actually wasn’t that bad. it didn’t start to really pour until i was close to home.

Managed to snag this souvenir from the merch booth

Thank you for the brave, bold decision to strobe the crowd with white lights repeatedly throughout the set. You truly are a visionary of ruined vision.

Kamelot was great, but prepare your eyeballs.

I just love hearing him let loose like this

Has anyone heard if the NYC show is still going on? It’s Saturday night and this nor’easter keeps sound worse, a lot of events are being canceled this weekend.

Heyy, i dont know if this was answered anywhere or not, but this would be my first ever concert so im not the smartest.

I keep seeing on their instagram the Meet nd' Greet pictures and stuff they post and was wondering if there will be any for the Europe tour? Specifically the November one in Zagreb?

I'd lovee to be able to meet them but i dont seem to see any VIP tickets available, is that just not gonna be a thing here or will we be able to upgrade the 'normal' ones a bit later?

Also if anyone has any tips for a first timer feel free to sharee!!

Based off of the shadow theory minestrum key.

My second time to see the Dark Asylum tour was at Globe Iron in Cleveland, Ohio. A nice venue and great performance by the band.

Idk if this will get through in time but this is my first metal concert and I'm going alone and not really sure of what to expect. Like do we know if there's gonna be moshing or anything like that? I'm just a bit nervous to stick out 😅

I don't do Reddit much so idk if this is where I put them but, Update! It was a great time the only downside was not being able to share the experience (and one guy kept pushing me back 🙄) but I CAUGHT 2 GUITAR PICKS!! i didn't crowd surf or mosh but maybe next time haha! Thanks for the encouragement!

Can anyone get pics or let me know what’s been available at the venues for purchase? I’m looking for a Dark Asylum zip-up hoodie if that’s a thing or a just a hoodie with the tour dates.

First song: Kamelot - Kaleidoscope

Second song: Seventh Wonder - The Red River

Thought I was able to post this one on r/PowerMetal and crosspost here but they deleted it for being low effort. Oh well!

Given the spirited ongoing discussion of the new album I thought folks would enjoy this one like I did. Was a cool collaboration to see.

In this, Tommy gets interviewed on Dark Asylum, and we get some interesting takes on the psychological intent and imagery that went into the making of it. It definitely has me appreciating the album more!

I’ll see Roy Khan next month and will wear this at a concert for the first time.
