KAMELOT members Sean Tibbetts (bass), Casey Grillo (drums) and Oliver Palotai (keyboards) took part in a special music clinic on Tuesday, September 7 at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida.
Video footage of this one-of-a-kind event can be viewed below.
KAMELOT was forced to cancel its previously announced North American tour after the band’s vocalist, Roy Khan (full name: Roy Sætre Khantatat_ was taken ill. The trek was scheduled to kick off on September 8 at the House Of Blues in Lake Buena Vista, Florida with support from LEAVES’ EYES and BLACKGUARD.
“Poetry For The Poisoned”, the highly anticipated ninth studio album from KAMELOT, will be released in North America on September 14 via the group’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.
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.
