Kamelot is a progressive/power metal band from Tampa, Florida that incorporates progressive and symphonic elements into their music. The band was founded by guitarist Thomas Youngblood and drummer Richard Warner in 1992.
In 1994 the band signed a deal with Noise Records; the release of their debut album Eternity followed in 1995. The next album, Dominion, was released in 1997.
Later that year, two of the band’s members were replaced; drummer and founder Richard Warner and lead vocalist Mark Vanderbilt. Respectively, their replacements were Casey Grillo and Roy Khan (Roy Sætre «Khan» Khantatat from Elverum in Norway - formerly of Conception). With the two new members, Kamelot released their third studio album, Siege Perilous. The new line-up undertook an extensive tour through Europe during the fall of the same year only to return to the Gate Studio in Wolfsburg twelve months later to produce the fourth studio effort The Fourth Legacy.
The summer of 2000 brought the “New Allegiance Tour” through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Spain during which the recordings for Kamelot’s first live album The Expedition were made. Only a few months later the band presented their fifth album entitled Karma, to the greatest critical success yet. Their sixth album, Epica was released in 2003.

As far as I'm concerned, the last cheesy song Kamelot made was Across the Highlands, with a couple of cheesy moments on Ghost Opera (like the first verse of EdenEcho).

Kamelot can live off their music, so no. Not underrated.

Personally don't consider them underrated, I know many people who think of them as the only good power metal band. Maybe they're not very popular, but that's a different thing.

Sonata Arctica is not fail. [3] Tallulah is definitely cheesy, I agree, but I can't agree about End of this Chapter :P Also I'd say that Kamelot can be cheesy sometimes - lyrics like "carried by destiny" and "I'll be the best I can" spring to mind :P

To make all the comments short. Kamelot is just overflowing with Awesomeness. Tbh I like cheesy lyrics, it so much easier to listen to music when they are telling about dragons. I like Rhapsody a lot. (still I like Kamelot a lot lot lot more)

Sonata Arctica is NOT a fail but i have to admit they're the kings of the corny songs - eg: shy, tallulah, last drop falls, End od this chapter..

I agree.They have some kinda cheesy moments,but its not Sonata Arctica cheesy (ie:fail).I would only say they are underrated by the more mainstream metal fans rather than in general,considering the 14 Million listeners and such.

the best things that I've found on Kamelot is their music is powerful, but they don't sing about dragons stuff like DragonForce or Rhapsody, and they don't have much cheesy ballad like Stratovarious. And the best thing is Khan is not gay like Manowar or something...

All power metal bands are cheesy tbh. They sound as the opposite but their lyrics talk by themselves. There are few power metal bands who don't write about dragons and dungeons, Kamelot is one of 'em. And that's why they're so special. (Appart of Khan, of course :P)

Reason why it took me long to discover this bad was because of the name. Kamelot instantly filled my mind with knights, dragons and all that dark age stuff. My first listen to the song Ghost Opera was quite the surprise.

I was under the impression flower metal = power metal in general :\ I can't think of a single power metal band that isn't quite a bit cheesy xD (not that cheese is bad, when well-managed :P)

MartinW wrote:
There are a lot of people who think that Kamelot is "flower metal" or poster children for the cheesy power metal genre, as if they've never heard anything they made after Karma. I'd say Kamelot is underrated as long as these people exist.

They're well-rated, I think; it's just that the power metal genre, on a global scale, is underrated...

I don't believe they're "so underrated". If you look at the charts of the last couple mounths it might give you that impression. But wait to see when they come with a brand new *awesome* album.
