A Floridian Power Metal band formed in 1991 by guitarist Thomas Youngblood and drummer Richard Warner. Their first two albums are generally considered somewhat sub-par, mostly thanks to vocalist Mark Vanderbilt's mediocre singing, plus the completely unambitious songwriting but saw some success. Vanderbilt quit in 1998 because the band was becoming too big to balance with the other aspects of his life. It is doubted that many complained at this development.Norwegian vocalist Roy Særtre Khantatat (also known as Roy Khan, or Khan, for short) of the then-recently broken up Conception took his place as a touring member and was soon asked to go sky diving with the band to secure a permanent place. He is considered by many to be a far better singer, and so this move is nearly universally considered a good thing. After one final rough album with Siege Perilous, they switched to a more progressive-influenced sound with The Fourth Legacy. Every album they've released since has been near universally loved by critics and fans alike. Along the way, they replaced their original bassist with the other one of two members to play on all of their albums up to Ghost Opera, Glenn Barry, their original keyboardist with ex-Blaze guitarist Oliver Palotai (after seven years of having no keyboardist), and their original drummer (who left at around the same time as Vanderbilt) with Casey Grillo.Influences: Iron Maiden Judas Priest Rush Queensrÿche Yngwie MalmsteenIn 2009, Glenn Barry had to quit the band due to problems in his personal life. He was replaced by Kamelot's original bassist, Sean Tibbets. As of April 22, 2011, Khan permanently left the band for various reasons: at first it was primarily health problems regarding his voice, however Thomas Youngblood stated that the primary reason Khan stayed away was due to "religious friction". It is hinted at that Roy was unsatisfied or unhappy with the much darker direction of Poetry for the Poisoned in comparison to their previous albums though Roy has kept open the possibility of personal projects in the future. The the vocalist position was temporarily filled by Fabio Lione of Rhapsody of Fire and the band chose Tommy Karevik, the lead vocalist of the Swedish progressive metal band Seventh Wonder, as their new, permanent vocalist. | |

Darker and Edgier: Poetry for the Poisoned traded in the band's usual progressive/power metal style for a more goth-influenced sound. Reception was... mixed. The following album, Silverthorn, featured a new vocalist and a return to their previous form. | |

Villain Song | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: They really like this trope. The "Elizabeth" trilogy on Karma is about Elizabeth Báthory. Epica has "Descent of the Archangel", in which Ariel, the album's protagonist, is about to kill himself in despair over the fact that his search for the meaning of life went fruitless for years when Mephisto approaches him and offers him the resources to continue his search in exchange for his soul. The Black Halo continues this with "March of Mephisto" which is essentially gloating over Helena's death and how this will aid Mephisto's plan to win Ariel's soul and re-enter heaven. "The Zodiac" from Poetry For The Poisoned is written from the point of view of the eponymous Serial Killer. "Veritas" from Silverthorn. While most of the album is narrated by its unnamed protagonist, this particular song is given from the perspective of his brother Robert. He has some issues, to say the least. | |

Longest Song Goes Last | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_2bf54826 | comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: Pre-outro: "Prodigal Son". "The Proud and the Broken" from The Shadow Theory. Longest song as closer: "The Gleeman" from Eternity clocks in at 6 minutes 19 seconds. "Lunar Sanctum" for The Fourth Legacy is almost 6 minutes. The "Elizabeth" trilogy from Karma is an interesting case: The trilogy in itself plays the trope straight as one; divided, the 11-minute final third does only if you count the silence after 4 minutes 14 seconds. | |

Concept Album | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: A notable theme with Kamelot. Epica, The Black Halo (based heavily on Faust), and Silverthorn are all full concept albums. They even have their own TV Tropes links in the discography folder! Karma, Poetry For The Poisoned, Haven, and The Shadow Theory all have concepts built into part of their song lists. The last two are almost their own loose narrative: Haven tackles societal problems like loneliness and corruption, then in the end someone incites a revolution hoping to find a haven in the wake of it all. In The Shadow Theory, this trend continues but this time technology and Carl Jung's shadow aspect come heavily into play as the likes of "Kevlar Skin" and "Phantom Divine" imply that the fight is now within as Cybernetics Eat Your Soul. | |

Uncommon Time: "Karma" and "Eden Echo" have verses in 5/4. Common on Epica and The Black Halo. "III Ways to Epica" and "The Black Halo" have sections in 5/4, "March of Mephisto" has single bars of 5/4 in its second and third choruses, "Abandoned" starts in 7/4, and later changes between 4/4 and 7/4 in the last few bars, and "A Feast For the Vain" switches to 11/8 for the bridge. | |

Godhood Seeker: In Karma's three-part "Elizabeth", Elizabeth Báthory comes to believe she can attain immortality and divinity by bathing in virgin blood. By Part 2, she's deluded herself into imagining that her victims became immortal with her. By Part 3, she realizes she's damned herself for nothing. | |

Mephistopheles | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_610ea5a7 | comment |
Mephistopheles: The albums "Epica" and "The Black Halo" are heavily inspired by the story of Faust. Mephisto, a Fallen Angel, makes a bet with God that if he can claim ownership of the soul of the philosopher-scientist Ariel, God must allow him to return to Heaven. He then manipulates Ariel into a Deal with the Devil: Mephisto will grant him access to worldly power and knowledge in order to satisfy Ariel's yearning to understand universal truths, on the condition that if Ariel ever experiences a moment of such deep contentment that he wishes to stay there forever, he forfeits ownership of his soul to Mephisto. | |

"Necropolis" is not said directly in the song, "City Of The Dead" is said though. "Citizen Zero" is not said in the song... and then, said in "Revolution."

| Kamelot (Music) / int_6f2fe973 | comment |
Epic Instrumental Opener: "Seal Of Woven Years" takes a full 1.5 minutes to set the scene for the song. Most albums open with a minute or so long orchestral piece to set the stage for the rest of the album that leads into the first song on the album. Though eventually averted on Haven, where the opening track "Fallen Star" has vocals, and the ending track is the instrumental one. | |

Epic Rocking: When played straight through, the three tracks that make up "Elizabeth" are about 12 minutes long. "Memento Mori" from The Black Halo is 9 minutes long and definitely fits the 'epic' criterion. The four "Poetry for the Poisoned" tracks from their eponymous album amount to almost 9 and a half minutes. "Prodigal Son" from Silverthorn. "The Proud and the Broken" from The Shadow Theory as well. | |

Purple Is Powerful: A lot of their album covers up to Epica make use of purple as most prominent color in combination with castle-themed imagery. Downplayed ever since Ghost Opera (and averted in Silverthorn) where their shades of grey are sometimes tinged with purple. | |

Horrible History Metal | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_abad2931 | comment |
Horrible History Metal: A lot of examples all across their discography, including "The Inquisitor" (about the Witch Hunts), "Glory" (about The Crusades), the "Elizabeth" trilogy (about Elizabeth Báthory - even though they take more of a fantasy approach to the story), and "Blücher" (about the sinking of the eponymous German battle ship on the borders of Norway during World War II). | |

Lyrical Dissonance: "Lost and Damned" is a fast paced, epic song... about Ariel, the protagonist of Epica and The Black Halo deciding to leave Helena, his lover, to continue his pointless search for the meaning of life. What makes things worse is that this leads directly to Helena throwing herself and their unborn child into a river. | |

Blood Bath | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_e03533c8 | comment |
Blood Bath: The album art for Karma depicts a woman in a nightgown waist-deep in a pool of blood. The last three songs on the album, "Elizabeth I, II, & III," are about the life of the Trope Maker, Elizabeth Báthory. In the video for "March of Mephisto", the title character drinks blood out of a skull and then proceeds to pour blood over his head. | |

Kill and Replace: The video for "Phantom Divine" seems to imply that Shadow Industries want to do this to Kamelot, and they successfully 3D-printed a clone of Lauren Hart. They seem to have succeeded, only for the copies to shut down after the band are found still alive thanks to the Shadow Key. | |

Soprano and Gravel | |
| Kamelot (Music) / int_f1dcc3f | comment |
Soprano and Gravel: Kamelot has been in love with this trope since 2005. The Black Halo featured Shagrath as Mephisto in "March of Mephisto", who then battles another soprano (Mari Youngblood, as Ariel's lover Helena) in "Memento Mori". "The Great Pandemonium" has Björn Speed Strid on gravel. "The Zodiac" features Jon Oliva in the gravel role. "Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)" has another three-way, with Alissa White-Gluz in the gravel role and Tommy Karevik and Elize Ryd in the soprano role. Alissa returns to duel with Tommy in Haven with "Liar Liar" and "Revolution", shifting to soprano role in the former's penultimate hook. Sascha Paeth provides background gravel in the Karevik era, notably on "Ashes to Ashes" and "The Proud and the Broken". "Phantom Divine" has Once Human vocalist Lauren Hart doing soprano-to-gravel midway through the song. "Mindfall Remedy" and possibly "The Proud and the Broken" feature her in her full gravel glory. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Continuing from Epica, protagonist Ariel is still stricken with grief and sorrow over his lover Helena's death. With Ariel's will nearly under Mephisto's total control, the fallen angel brings Ariel a beautiful young woman named Marguerite, who looks and speaks just like Helena. Ariel seduces Marguerite and the two sleep together, which completes Mephisto's manipulation of Ariel ("When the Lights are Down"). | |
