KAMELOT frontman Roy Khan and guitarist Thomas Youngblood are featured in a new interview with Kamelot.com. An excerpt appears below.

Q: Can you tell us something about the new CD and maybe some of the song titles?

Thomas: "It's going great, and we feel we are continuing to grow musically and also explore new sounds for the band."

Khan: "Yes, the topics on this album are diverse and we are curious to see the interpretation of the fans for these songs. Some of the titles include 'The Great Pandemonium', 'Hunter's Season' and 'Thespian Drama' to name a few."

Q: Most of us know that you were on SPV Records with Ghost Opera and they have since claimed insolvency. How did that affect Kamelot and the new album?

Thomas: "Our deal with SPV was finalized before they claimed insolvency, there are still some small legal matters to finalize but it hasn't changed the process of this album. We have been very slow in choosing a new partner for the next album and there have been quite some offers from all of the relevant labels in the genre. We hope to have the final agreements in place very soon."
