Best Kamelot Songs
One of the darker songs by this band. Mephisto (a demon sung by Shagrath) tries to seduce Ariel (a human man sung by Khan) by tempting him with a woman who resembles Ariel's dead lover. Ariel almost falls under his spell.
One of the best songs in the power (melodic prog) metal scene. Great guitar performance, epic keyboards, and Roy Khan's and Shagrath's voices are very awesome!
I simply never get tired of this song. I checked in iTunes, and I've listened to this song 512 times! It's like the more I listen to it, the more I like it!
Kamelot forever... Yeah! Everyday I listen to Kamelot. Never be replaced with another song. All the best for Kamelot. Purely awesome.
Great vocal pattern I ever heard. Kamelot is one of my best bands. Keep rocking, Kamelot.
"Show me a sign of paradise..." That part alone is worth 10 points. But "Karma" also deserves to be number 1 alongside "Forever."
Oh yes, I have to agree. This song and the entire album get played on my iPod every day, followed by The Black Halo, Karma, etc.
Simone and Khan are epic together. It's a pity that Simone seems more like a guest singer in this song. To be fair, she is, but I wished it was something along the vein of House on a Hill where she'd actually sing her own verses.
Other than that minor gripe, the album version is amazing in its own right, but the live version on One Cold Winter's Night takes that up a notch. A must listen and watch!
This song is very emotional and yet, at the same time, very powerful. The rhythm of the electric guitars backs the amazing duet between a younger Simone Simons and Roy Khan in his prime.
You gotta love some Kamelot!
The first song I ever heard from them, I loved it from the very first seconds. Great intro! I've loved the band since then.
I may be biased since this is the first song I heard from Kamelot. It's got it all. Thank you, Karma.
Karma is an absolute classic when it comes to power metal.
By far, the best from Kamelot. I never get tired of listening.
I think this is their best song. You can hear the arrangement in this one much better than in any of the others.
Memento Mori is not a song. It is a piece of art. The orchestration is beautifully done, and it ends the two-album-long Faust-themed story in the greatest way possible.
The vocals stand out amazingly, and it is arranged superbly. My favorite bit is the duet part of Mephisto and Helena. Beautifully made.
Unquestionably their best song, brilliantly formatted (kind of like a Billy Joel song), and showcasing the entire range of Kamelot's music, from hard-hitting, fast-paced power metal to serene and haunting ballads.
Some of the best vocals Roy ever produced for Kamelot. The strings and riffs are, simply put, epic. It has a very Iron Maiden feel to the song, and that is a compliment of the highest regard.
Deep lyrics, powerful riffing and strings. Just an all-around amazing song from the best power metal band.
Roy really voices the man who truly believes what he does is for the good of the ones he loves so, so well!
How is this not a top 10? Between the fast-paced guitar, the amazing bass line, and the catchy lyrics, there is no way it should be in 14th. I am personally offended that this song is not higher up on the list.
Where's the love for this song? It's their most rapid and instrumentally powerful song. It is awesome. This is where they earn their title as a power metal band.
How this is not one of the top 10 is way beyond me! This should be one of the top 5 along with Karma.
Another great song on The Black Halo!
Moonlight is a catchy Kamelot song that is heavily driven by vocals and interludes with woodwind instruments. Give it a good listen. It seems to be underrated at the moment!
Beautiful atmospheric piano intro, which builds into an extremely groovy and catchy song. Great performance by the whole band!
This song has become my fourteenth all-time favorite song.
The song's got a momentum that only increases till the end. The guitar work is phenomenal, and so is the voice backing up the instruments. So energetic, it's like a power metal dream song. Should be far up!
I'm in love with the live version from One Cold Winter's Night. The song is just beautiful, with those lyrics and the guitar intro inspired by Edvard Grieg's song.
On the Karma album, it was good, but when I saw Roy performing this live... Their best song ever.
I have to agree that the live version is amazing. After that, am I the only one who has noticed those breathtaking lyrics and felt them in my heart with the voice of the amazing Roy Khan?
This song basically showed that Tommy Karevik is a great replacement for Roy Khan. Every single aspect of this song shows Kamelot in their top form and pretty much shows that Tommy has brought new life to the band.
The first song I've heard of this band and the best ever since. Perfect from the first second, and when the Amaranthe singer joins, it turns into pure art. The best Kamelot song.
This song is epic! How can it be this low? It deserves to be in the top five along with Ghost Opera and Karma. These songs kick ass.
This song was one of the first few songs I ever heard from the power metal genre. The chorus is very emotional and easy to follow. Hard to mishear the lyrics as well.
Perhaps not the "best" song since they have many other good ones.
The song which introduced me to the finest band on planet earth. The perfect album opener. Fantastic uptempo verses, scintillating solos, and a chorus which will pin you to the wall.
What else do you want from a song? The blueprint for Forever and Center of the Universe, which followed on later albums.
It's just so powerful! Darkness comes alive!
I may be a sucker for the older albums, but one would be insane to claim this one does not live up to the high standard I have!
Singers and music are perfect. One of the best ever.
One of the best songs ever made. Every single part of this song is pure gold.
The happiest song from a concept album about loss and immortality.
It also has some hella good guitars and that classic line which conveys the whole theme of the album:
"What does the winter bring, if not yet another spring."
This song is phenomenal! The emotion, the articulation, the dynamic, and the passion. This song truly stirs and moves the soul. I never tire of listening to it.
This is one of the songs I listen to the loudest on my iPod, next to Numb, but I could never tire of this song equivalent of a Picasso.
Abandoned is a show of how great Khan is. He can sing great metal, but this isn't metal, and he sings it equally as well.
Damn, this is one of the best songs by Kamelot. I don't know why this is ranked so low. Some people just want to watch the world burn!
Different enough to warrant a listen. Very good song.
Very particular song. The melody is haunting.
The lyrics to this song are amazing and deep! The music is also beautiful and haunting. One of their songs that has greatly impacted me.
There's something very existential about this one that I absolutely love.
The first song I heard from Kamelot. The lyrics are a bit hard to make out at first, but their effect is powerful and passionate. This is still my favorite song by far, and I can't help but sing along.
When I listened to this song for the first time, I thought maybe this is a good song. But after I read the lyrics and sang along with the song, my tears were shed, and I realized that this is one of their best songs.
Love you to death, Kamelot.
I liked pop songs. Then I listened to Kamelot's Love You to Death. It literally changed my life. Thanks to it, now I listen to pure music. I think it is simply perfect.
Although not my favorite, this song deserves a much higher position. The vocals are awesome, it has touching lyrics, and the guitar solo speaks for itself.
For me, this is the best of all Kamelot and the metal world.
When I heard this song, I was blown away! Really powerful song! Listen and enjoy!
