The cover artwork for "Poetry For The Poisoned", the highly anticipated ninth
studio album from American/Norwegian metallers KAMELOT, can be viewed below.
The CD will be released in North America on September 14 via the band's own
label, Kamelot Media Group (KMG Recordings), and in Europe on September 10
through earMUSIC/Edel. Marquee/Avalon Records will make the CD available in
Japan.
KAMELOT's reputation among fans and media alike is marked by enthusiasm as
well as esteem, with each of its eight studio albums to date surpassing its
predecessor in terms of songwriting, production and commercial results. As
one of the most difficult-to-categorize artists on the metal scene, KAMELOT
is ready to release its most insightful and ambitious album to date, "Poetry
for the Poisoned".
Throughout the recent years, KAMELOT's releases have achieved cult status
around the world, and "Poetry for the Poisoned" will "once again raise the
bar for others to follow," according to a press release. "The new studio
album blends their trademark KAMELOT sound with new elements and a creation
of musical art that will set a new standard in the genre."
"Poetry for the Poisoned" was mostly written in the remote woods of Norway to
the final songwriting sessions in a remote region of Germany. The
compositions take the listener through many emotions and dynamics that touch
the soul and the mind.
"I think this album is by far our most diverse, fusing new ideas and elements
along with the traditional KAMELOT sound and style that we have established
over the years," states KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood.
Recordings took place in the familiar Gate Studios in Wolfsburg, Germany with
producers Sascha Paeth and Miro. Additional tracking also took place in
Tampa, Florida as well as various studios in Sweden, Greece and the U.S.
"Poetry for the Poisoned" features guest appearances by Simone Simons
(EPICA), Gus G. (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIREWIND), Björn "Speed" Strid (SOILWORK)
and Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE, JON OLIVA'S PAIN). The artwork was created by many
great artists, including Seth Siro Anton, Natalie Shau and Michal Loranc.
"'Poetry For The Poisoned' is a mix of progressive elements, modern rock,
dark arts and also power metal," states Youngblood. "It comes at a time where
many people around the world are searching for something to grab on to
spiritually, including myself. I recently lost my mother and to be honest it
was very hard on me. So there are some melancholy moods reflected on this
album."
Frontman Roy Khan assures that "Poetry for the Poisoned" will both please the
band's existing following and expose the universe of KAMELOT to a whole range
of new fans. "'Poetry for the Poisoned' is our longest and toughest
production so far, but when I hear the result I know it was well worth the
struggle," he says.

* Regular CD edition
* Digipak CD with bonus DVD
