Kamelot is one of metal's most unique, influential and prestigious acts to come along in decades. The group's reputation among fans and media alike is marked by enthusiasm as well as esteem, each of their seven studio albums to date surpassing its predecessor in terms of songwriting and production. As one of the most difficult-to-categorise artists on the metal scene, Kamelot are poised to assault the planet with their most insightful and ambitious project to date, Ghost Opera .

Last night kicked off Kamelot's US Tour in St. Petersburg ,FL support of the new album. We came out to support the band and fellow Drummer Connection member Casey Grillo, as he makes his debut performance as a Zildjian's newest artist.

The band gave an extraordinary performance as they were joined by German vocalist Anne - Catrin Marzke  who sang back up vocals to some of the new songs off the album.

The show lasted for the better part of an hour or so, with several encore songs after which the crowd could still be heard chanting for more KAM-E-LOT!!! The highlight for me is what we will close the articel with...the drum solo.
