A bit different, still epic. While I'm one of those fans who are still a bit nostalgic about the Khan-era, I totally respect the ongoing developement and perfectionism you guys are putting into your work.
One of the best songs of Kamelot so far. I can't get it out of my head and I go to work listening to it everyday. It gives me strength for the day. I AM THE EMPIRE!

Saw this song live at their first show in the Shadow Theory tour in Louisville two days ago. Freaking amazing. It was my second time seeing them live and I will see them every freaking time they come around. I LOVE Kamelot!
LAUREN HART IS FUCKING BRILLIANT! I've always thought she was destined for greatness, her band Once Human is really really good and not many people know them, I hope this collab help to catapult them to something bigger.
Ivan is director again...keep him he's amazing!!! Regarding the song...Kamelot is unprecedented, that's for sure. Again, you astonish me. Amazing! 💋 Yours, Nerissa. ♥
Everything KAMELOT is here. Damn all the rest, these guys are the best. A continuation of Haven, that is just as satisfying as anything they've written. Production reminds me of Liar, Liar, but I love it!!
WOW ! Picks up right where Silverthorn and Haven left off ! I loved Roy, but Tommy is bringing a new dynamic to the band and sounds fantastic! I was shocked when I found out Casey left but if I didn't know , I would think it was him on this tune . Can't wait to hear the whole CD !
Imagine if they made a movie out of this. Like a musical. They would be all actors like any movie but all the songs (full songs) from the album takes place here and there. Would be fucking epic like hell.
I feel like ever since Tommy joined the band it has gone in a different direction and I really like it. It seems all the albums since Silverthorn have been connected by a central story line.
Goodness gracious, I have goosebumps all over! Thanks once again, Kamelot, for bringing me to my effing knees at every masterpiece released! Can't wait for the entire album!
No fair you guys, doing a whole story, involving all of us emotionally and then leaving us hanging, just like you did with Insomnia and Liar Liar! I need some closure, darn it! On a serious note, this song kicks ass, it's soo good! You never fail to deliver the best!
The dystopic atmosphere of the song and video was amazing! It's already one of my favorite Kamelot's videos, togheter with Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy) :D
So, the cloning process utilized for our most powerful being of spirit energies, and evolution of control, of those powers, becomes the Phantom Divine. Thank you Kamelot... Wonderful portrayal of our different skill sets developed in and amongst the neural pathways, making the facettes of our character.
Could also be bitter fans of the previous Kamelot singers. Or people who mistake nostalgia for a standard of quality and are under the belief that Kamelot sounded better in the past. Or people who just have stupidly high standards that no band but the ones they have lower standards for can measure up to.
They're setting the bar so high for this new album, this and Ravenlight are fantastic in every way possible and it makes me even more excited for the full album!! Stunning job, Kamelot, keep it up!!!!
Haven was my favorite album of 2015, so I have high expectations for this new release. I really like this song and I love that you guys featured Laren!
Amazing, this band never fails to deliver and as a huge Karevik fan girl i have to say that he delivers perfectly and he is incredibly beautiful too look at. Can't wait for the Swedish shows.
It's amazing how you manage to keep the integrity of your music even after changing musics. I was super stressed to hear you without Grillo, but new drummer is not missing a beat. Kamelot always deliver!! Now come back to Seattle or BC. :-)
Amazing !!! Superb !!!!! I think this is one of the best works by kamelot .it's a feeling . This is the year of good álbuns. Now Kamelot , from May Amorphis .I know Amorphis is a different genre of metal but the new song is fantastic too.
This is godlike. The best song they released since Ghost Opera BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR. Thank fuck! This is the Tommy I love! The Seventh Wonder one! Not this roy Khan Erzast! This is what I wanted Silverthorn to be!! What I wanted Haven to be!!!! Thank you so much Tommy!!!
Kamelot never disappoints ! The new drummer really is destroying that drum, he's amasing !!! Good job :) Also, a very great touch from you to share some of your personnal pictures through the devices, I loved it :) Can't wait for the release, this album will be on repeat for a while !
i just bought the album and imho is the Best True Kamelot album since Poetry for the Poisoned. Epic, progressive and Emotional. the last two was to pop for my taste! Welcome baCK Guys...Love you!!!!
I felt a Silverthorn aura, but much more evolved. Loved this. Lauren Hart is a goddess, though her clean vocal in this song doesn't shine like I was expecting.
Classy yet new sounding power metal song, and well blended with them cheesy cinematic effects-looking like Lauren's getting teleported/3d printed?? I'll get me one of those 3d human bioprinters as soon as they come out . . . Good one Kamelot!
Melissa Bonny inadvertently brought me here. She has done some covers, but I had to hear the real thing. Excellent Band. Will definitely check out more.
Goosebumps in my entire body damn! This is so amazing. I am so happy that Lauren was featured in kamelot she definitely deserves it. The new album is going to be very good I can tell. 😍 I am also very excited for Jennifer too.
I liked it a lot. Although I strongly miss the old Kamleot, this new direction isn't bad at all. In fact, it's great. And although this song sounds similar to the last two albums, what you guys have done is perfected this new sound of yours. Well done.
In hopes this can get to all involved in the music bad-assery - this was bad-ASS !!!! I love this. Great job, guys (and obviously-lovely-lady :) ). The song is awesome !!!! I kinda like this continuous theme of Matrix-like wiring and computers on the video. Very cool. I wouldn't mind hearing a song with her and Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy someday. That would be cool. I had the idea of - between those two ladies of course - maybe a song that has dueling-vocals, possibly ? I don't know - probably a stupid idea. ROCK ON, Kamelot.
I love the "I am the empire" line repeating. Something about it just gives me chills!
hell yeah!
This is the best Part!
I just went to their concert in Philly and they had us yelling I AM THE EMPIRE! Multiple times throughout the song. It was incredile
First Alissa's cleans, now Lauren's cleans, gawd dayum gotta love them cleans.
Fuck yes!!
It's great to see Lauren Hart excercising her softer vocal side too. She sounded great here!
Her clean vocals are so freaking good... her voice has a "young witch" vibe to it, I can't really explain.
A bit different, still epic. While I'm one of those fans who are still a bit nostalgic about the Khan-era, I totally respect the ongoing developement and perfectionism you guys are putting into your work.
One of the best songs of Kamelot so far. I can't get it out of my head and I go to work listening to it everyday. It gives me strength for the day. I AM THE EMPIRE!
The break at min. 2:29, "There is still hope for you...I'm the Empire" my favourite part of this awesome song. Can't wait to get the album.
I am all you ever wanted
I'm a new dimension
Immortality perfected, phantomized
Expansion of lies
Generation of life
Finding every deviation
Just to keep the future alive
Under a Phantom Divine
Touched by the light
In ambrosial grace
No applause for the old pantomime
In the shadows of our dreams
A Phantom Divine
I'm the face of the selected
I'm your chain reaction
I am mortally rejected
I am the empire connecting the mind
And I'll die just to keep you alive
Under a Phantom Divine
Touched by the light
In ambrosial grace
No applause for the old pantomime
In the shadows of our dreams
A Phantom Divine
Under a Phantom Divine
Touched by the light
In ambrosial grace
No applause for the old pantomime (PANTOMIME)
In the shadows of our dreams
The Phantom Divine
There is still hope for you
(I AM THE EMPIRE)
All that you see is true
(I AM THE EMPIRE)
There is still hope for us
Under a Phantom Divine
Under a Phantom Divine
Touched by the light
In ambrosial grace
No applause for the old pantomime
Like impulses of our dreams
A Phantom Divine
Under the Phantom Divine
Touched by the light
In ambrosial grace
No applause for the old pantomime
In the shadows of our dreams
A Phantom Divine
I love how you can always hear Kamelot's sound in the music no matter who sings!
From dark medieval times to dark futur times. Great video.
This should be a movie
Right?!!😃😃😃😃😃 I don't know why there not in a movie like other bands have been
They should make a musical. hahaha
Every single song by them sound like.... art.
Saw this song live at their first show in the Shadow Theory tour in Louisville two days ago. Freaking amazing. It was my second time seeing them live and I will see them every freaking time they come around. I LOVE Kamelot!
I really need a show or books about Kamelot stories. I'm so ready to watch episodes of a story like this, or read 800 pages of it.
Honestly. I've been wishing they made like a comic series or graphic novels of their storylines!
LAUREN HART IS FUCKING BRILLIANT! I've always thought she was destined for greatness, her band Once Human is really really good and not many people know them, I hope this collab help to catapult them to something bigger.
The personal photographs were the perfect touch. Love the story told here, probably my favorite music video of yours to date!
That drummer is absolutely murdering those drums. Dude has got to be a robot
I love how the song starts with a beautiful piano melody and then a guitar and a battery kicks in
Melkor Arrieta That's usually Kamelot for ya there.
The kings of symphonic metal. What a masterpiece!!!
I dont think that ROF is better
Black Halo, Ghost Opera, PFTP and new era combined, I'm really loving the mix sounds of different kamelot eras! I really love it!
Ivan is director again...keep him he's amazing!!!
Regarding the song...Kamelot is unprecedented, that's for sure.
Again, you astonish me. Amazing! 💋
Yours, Nerissa. ♥
Everything KAMELOT is here. Damn all the rest, these guys are the best. A continuation of Haven, that is just as satisfying as anything they've written. Production reminds me of Liar, Liar, but I love it!!
Simone Simons into the Oliver's memories (min 3.00) :-D great song!!!
Edward132 dan good eye
Every one of them have their beloved ones in the "memory"
Cant recall I ever heard an mediocre or non-badass song by KAMELOT...they just keeps on delivering the goods!!! Nuff said!
WOW ! Picks up right where Silverthorn and Haven left off !
I loved Roy, but Tommy is bringing a new dynamic to the band and sounds fantastic! I was shocked when I found out Casey left but if I didn't know , I would think it was him on this tune .
Can't wait to hear the whole CD !
Imagine if they made a movie out of this. Like a musical. They would be all actors like any movie but all the songs (full songs) from the album takes place here and there. Would be fucking epic like hell.
A Rock Opera ;)
A cyberpunk metal musical? Sure, why not?
I feel like ever since Tommy joined the band it has gone in a different direction and I really like it. It seems all the albums since Silverthorn have been connected by a central story line.
Goodness gracious, I have goosebumps all over! Thanks once again, Kamelot, for bringing me to my effing knees at every masterpiece released! Can't wait for the entire album!
No fair you guys, doing a whole story, involving all of us emotionally and then leaving us hanging, just like you did with Insomnia and Liar Liar! I need some closure, darn it!
On a serious note, this song kicks ass, it's soo good! You never fail to deliver the best!
It's possible this album maybe a prequel, it carries a lot of themes that Haven had, to be honest.
not sure it's a prequel, but more likely a continuation of the dystopian / futuristic themes from Haven.
FallenStar
I thought this could be a prequel to Liar Liar?
I am the Empire...are you serious? This song is freaking epic! Gave me chills. This would go great as the Ergo Proxy theme
Only heard few Once Human songs and they were growling so i had no clue Lauren had so cool clean voice.
Ketunloikka in passengers and paragon Lauren has a couple clean parts. Her growl are killer though
Yes indeed I looked for this comment, lovely voice, I'd like more of that
Her voice is amazing
The dystopic atmosphere of the song and video was amazing! It's already one of my favorite Kamelot's videos, togheter with Liar Liar (Wasteland Monarchy) :D
Lauren Hart is 10 / 10 in this song - her clear voice is just wow ;)
Absolutely amazing!!! But I didn't expect anything less from Kamelot. They always deliver the best music in the world
So, the cloning process utilized for our most powerful being of spirit energies, and evolution of control, of those powers, becomes the Phantom Divine.
Thank you Kamelot... Wonderful portrayal of our different skill sets developed in and amongst the neural pathways, making the facettes of our character.
The 579 dislikes are either country fans or beiber fans, and don't understand what good music is.
Could also be bitter fans of the previous Kamelot singers.
Or people who mistake nostalgia for a standard of quality and are under the belief that Kamelot sounded better in the past.
Or people who just have stupidly high standards that no band but the ones they have lower standards for can measure up to.
They're setting the bar so high for this new album, this and Ravenlight are fantastic in every way possible and it makes me even more excited for the full album!! Stunning job, Kamelot, keep it up!!!!
2020 Anybody? All I know is I need more Kamelot.
Bro some of us are still here in 2024
2024❤
This song is from other Galaxy! Definitely Kamelot is simply Majestic! To me, Kamelot is the best Power Metal Band in the world nowadays! #Kamelot🖤🖤🖤
Haven was my favorite album of 2015, so I have high expectations for this new release. I really like this song and I love that you guys featured Laren!
Great job, dont wait less of Kamelot. Tommy is stunning and the new girl as so beautiful 😍🤘
Amazing, this band never fails to deliver and as a huge Karevik fan girl i have to say that he delivers perfectly and he is incredibly beautiful too look at. Can't wait for the Swedish shows.
The notes used to sing 'I am the Empire' give me chills.
Wow, Lauren has an amazing clean voice! She needs to do it more.
I love the outfit Lauren Hart wore when I saw Kamelot in Chicago.
Beautiful clean vocals from Lauren
10 more days and I get to see these beautiful people live for the very first time, and I've got a feeling that I won't be disappointed 😁
Will forever be my favourite band x
Oh how I love this Band... this album is the best thing of music that comes out this year so far!❤🤘❤🤘
I feel like Brittany Slayes should be a guest vocalist for you guys. Her voice is just raw power. This has to happen.
Fuck yes!
It's amazing how you manage to keep the integrity of your music even after changing musics. I was super stressed to hear you without Grillo, but new drummer is not missing a beat. Kamelot always deliver!! Now come back to Seattle or BC. :-)
Kamelot!!! For me the best Power Metal Band in this world!!! #Kamelot Greetings from Colombia 🖤🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
My favorite metal band!
watching Kamelot's sci fi videos, stimulate more than movies, indeed! FANTASTIC
Kamelot has the most visually stunning music videos..!
Amazing !!! Superb !!!!!
I think this is one of the best works by kamelot .it's a feeling .
This is the year of good álbuns. Now Kamelot , from May Amorphis .I know Amorphis is a different genre of metal but the new song is fantastic too.
This is godlike. The best song they released since Ghost Opera BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR. Thank fuck! This is the Tommy I love! The Seventh Wonder one! Not this roy Khan Erzast! This is what I wanted Silverthorn to be!! What I wanted Haven to be!!!! Thank you so much Tommy!!!
Friday can't come soon enough. Every aspect of this song made me smile like I was a kid hearing Kamelot for the first time.
Such a masterpiece!! Kamelot as fresh and good as ever
Lauren’s voice gives me chills. And I love it
Saw them live last night, and Lauren Hart was there too! Or at least I think that was her, in Dallas House of Blues. Such a great performance!
Be seeing this band live tomorrow night for the first time in Canberra. Sooooo excited. Bring it on guys !
Who wants to crowd fund a closure video for Revolution before we get invested in this concept album too? Awesome song!
I can not describe with words what this song caused in me, just incredible, thanks for so many friends! forever kamelot!
Kamelot, you never cease to impress me. Every single one of your songs is an amazing experience!
Kamelot again did not disappoint her new album, great songs and also video clips .... bravo !!
Listening to this song, makes me feel myself entering to a new dimension!!! This song is definitely an anthem, and the video, is just magnificent!
Kamelot never disappoints !
The new drummer really is destroying that drum, he's amasing !!! Good job :)
Also, a very great touch from you to share some of your personnal pictures through the devices, I loved it :)
Can't wait for the release, this album will be on repeat for a while !
i just bought the album and imho is the Best True Kamelot album since Poetry for the Poisoned. Epic, progressive and Emotional. the last two was to pop for my taste! Welcome baCK Guys...Love you!!!!
I'M SO HAPPY LAUREN IS THE GUEST IN THIS NEW KAMELOT ERA 😍😍😍 and here I'll be waiting for that "to be continued" YAAAS
I was mesmerized by her body language, so freaking graceful.
I got a bunch of adverts for this.
I do not regret checking this out for myself! Loved this song!
and that ladies and gents is called ART&Perfection in all its glory!
Congrats guys!
Awesome! Kamelot the best of Metal.
Saudações do Brasil.
Ricardo Soares O que aconteceu com o Casey?
I felt a Silverthorn aura, but much more evolved. Loved this. Lauren Hart is a goddess, though her clean vocal in this song doesn't shine like I was expecting.
Classy yet new sounding power metal song, and well blended with them cheesy cinematic effects-looking like Lauren's getting teleported/3d printed?? I'll get me one of those 3d human bioprinters as soon as they come out . . . Good one Kamelot!
Melissa Bonny inadvertently brought me here. She has done some covers, but I had to hear the real thing.
Excellent Band. Will definitely check out more.
Now, THAT Is What Music Is All About
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! BEEN LISTENING KAMELOT SINCE DE 90´S AND THEY ALWAYS CREATES MASTERPIECES! WE ARE THE EMPIRE!
Goosebumps in my entire body damn! This is so amazing. I am so happy that Lauren was featured in kamelot she definitely deserves it. The new album is going to be very good I can tell. 😍 I am also very excited for Jennifer too.
Although I'm in love with Tommy's vocals I must say that hearing Lauren's clean singing sends chills down my spine every time, she IS amazing.
I always expect the best from Kamelot and they always deliver.
I go to boot camp for 3 months and miss a new kamelot album. Time to catch up on life.
I purchased this album today.I have no regrets,it has been wonderful.
the Shadow Empire comes When the lights are down...
Wonderful! As you always do
YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
Def reminding me of a mix of The Black Halo and The Fourth Legacy/Karma!!!! I haven't listened to them since Khan left but this sounds amazing!!!
Oooo! I am here for this! Phantom Divine is definitely going to be one of my favorites from this album
I liked it a lot. Although I strongly miss the old Kamleot, this new direction isn't bad at all. In fact, it's great. And although this song sounds similar to the last two albums, what you guys have done is perfected this new sound of yours. Well done.
I'm sad that Casey Grillo left the band, but Johan Nunez sounds amazing!
Grillo recorded the drums for this album before he left. I'm 100% Nunez will however be amazing for Kamelot as he is with Firewind.
My cousin performs it properly, huh? lol
Casey played on the album, but Johan is amazing though.
Actually Johan recorded the drums
I just came back from Kamelot in Tilburg and the drummer was a beast, so I wouldn't worry there :D
Came for Lauren hart and was not disappointed! I've never really listened to kamelot but gonna have to start now! This was fucking awesome!
This could easily be an opening, a prequel if you'd like, to The Source by Ayreon. I feel it explains The Frame perfectly.
Went to a concert were they played before Rhapsody. I went for Rhapsody but damn I enjoyed Kamelot just as much. This song in particular was amazing.
Loving the new songs so far... and I am so hyped for Seventh Wonder's new album Tiara!! Hopefully two kickass albums with Tommy Karevik this year!!!!
Noor Aiman Ahmad we also got the Ayreon universe DVD released. But I'm still excited for Tiara most
In hopes this can get to all involved in the music bad-assery - this was bad-ASS !!!! I love this. Great job, guys (and obviously-lovely-lady :) ). The song is awesome !!!! I kinda like this continuous theme of Matrix-like wiring and computers on the video. Very cool. I wouldn't mind hearing a song with her and Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy someday. That would be cool. I had the idea of - between those two ladies of course - maybe a song that has dueling-vocals, possibly ? I don't know - probably a stupid idea. ROCK ON, Kamelot.
This is so amazing! AHHHHHHH! I can't even think about a cool commentary! Just WOW!
Long live Kamelot!
Perfect. Simply perfect, more that I imagine
I need the whole album. Guys, your music is perfect 😍😍😍
😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩🤩
Love the end theme - 3:27, really dramatic!! Elaborate video - so well done -
Wow! You guys never disappoint when it comes to the music or your video presentation. Very well done! A lot of groups need to take notice
Huge Kamelot fan for many years, and got to say I love this song and vid. You guys just keep making amazing music!
