Hometown symphonic metal heroes Kamelot return to downtown St. Petersburg this weekend

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0ZD5tb_0tLxp7Kl00 — Kamelot, which plays Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, Florida on May 25, 2024.

It’s a little strange that the subgenre of symphonic metal isn’t as widely renowned as, say, screamo. But Kamelot—still featuring original guitarist Thomas Youngblood—still holds strong over almost 30 years since releasing its debut album, and there’s even fairly new music to celebrate on tour.

The multinational, Tampa-born outfit's first album in four years, properly titled

The Awakening , features contributions from cello virtuoso Tina Guo and ravishing, multi-octave lead vocals from frontman Tommy Karevik.

The band’s U.S. run ends with this damn-near-close homecoming show, featuring fellow symphonic metal band Ad Infinitum, and Swedish metal group HammerFall, with the latter set to release new music of its own later this summer.

Tickets to see Kamelot play St. Pete's Jannus Live on Saturday, May 25 are still available and cost $34.50.
