Ahead of their return to Australia shores for the first time in five years, Metal Wani’s Jake Patton had the opportunity to speak with Kamelot vocalist Tommy Karevik. They discuss Karevik’s vocal style and some of the choices he makes, including answering whether or not he thinks he is too reserved on stage to which Karevik contemplates "If you write close to your limit of what you can handle on a good day, or it isn’t easy to do it every night for one and a half to two hours… it’s just the smarter thing to try not to be on the limit of what you can handle. Because maybe in a good day you can hammer it out but on a bad day it’s going to sound not so good."

They also discuss some of the difficulties that the band experiences as, not only a geographically diverse band, but also a band that has members involved in side projects and how that plays into recording, practice and booking shows. Karevik offers some insight into the difficulties in organising these tours, and also remarks about his appreciation for the effort that is put in for making these things happen "Everyone just travels, I just make sure to be on time!"

They close out by discussing Karevik’s other project Seventh Wonder and what sort of an impact that the release of their upcoming album, Tiara, might have on the touring schedule for Kamelot.

Below is Kamelot's updated world tour schedule in support of their latest album, The Shadow Theory.
