Dimitris Kontogeorgakos of Metal Kaoz recently conducted an interview with KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood, who talked about the brand new album, Silverthorn, and their future plans.

An excerpt follows:

Q: How did the NIGHTWISH fans treat Kamelot?

A: "Well, every night we had also Kamelot fans, so again, this was great and I think it was the perfect combo. The music obviously complements each other, the bands got along very well together and so we had almost every night packed venues."

Q: That’s great. So, since Silverthorn has not been yet released, can we consider the US tour as a warm-up for a headlining one that will follow?

A: "Oh, yes, definitely! We have been doing headlining US tours for the last six or seven years, so we are coming back in 2013 for a headlining run."

Q: Have you set a specific timetable for this?

A: "No, we have not yet solidified the dates but it will be during late spring or early summer 2013 and we will be visiting similar cities with this one."
