In a new interview with Rock Overdose, Kamelot mastermind Thomas Youngblood talks about the band’s upcoming concert in Athens, Greece (November 10th), their next album, the band’s creation and more.

Asked how the writing for the new album is going, Thomas responds: “Going great, slow but really good. It harkens back to th Ghost Opera days a bit with Haven elements. I am excited!”

On if he has ideas about a theme for the new album, and if it will be a concept album or not, Youngblood says: “Can’t say yet, that is a secret.”
