Symphonic metal legends Kamelot return with the haunting Dark Asylum, via Napalm Records. 14 albums deep into a genre-defining career—including chart dominating classics like Haven, The Shadow Theory, and most recently The Awakening—the band remains a commanding force in modern metal. Longtime Kamelot producer Sascha Paeth returns, contributing additional guitars alongside Jacob Hansen, who oversees mixing and mastering. With a spanning cast of features, including members of Visions Of Atlantis, Eluveitie, Avantasia, Decessus frontwoman and current Miss World Chile champion Ignacia Fernández and more, the cinematic, introspective, and mystical Dark Asylum hides reality shattering revelations behind every corner. Once you step inside RavenHill… there is no turning back.
