TOMMY KAREVIK Talks KAMELOT’s Upcoming Album: “Success is Telling Stories that Resonate with People”

In 2018, Kamelot released “The Shadow Theory” to critical acclaim. After five years, Kamelot now returns with their next full-length studio album, “The Awakening,” due out on March 17th via Napalm Records. The album’s lead single “One More Flag in the Ground” has amassed more than 430,000 streams on Spotify and 435,000 views on the official music video. With thirteen tracks and features by three guest musicians, including Grammy-nominated cellist Tina Guo and Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum), “The Awakening” promises to be one of the most exciting albums from Kamelot in the last decade. 

Vocalist Tommy Karevik first joined Kamelot more than a decade ago, with his first studio appearance on “Silverthorn” in 2012. “Haven” followed in 2015, with another three years passing before “The Shadow Theory.” Karevik is also known for his role as the vocalist and front-man of Seventh Wonder, which released “The Testament” in 2022, and toured in support of the album shortly after. 

“The Awakening” is not a concept album as some of Kamelot’s prior works, but a cinematic collection of emotion and poetry that seeks to inspire its listeners. From moving ballads like “Midsummer’s Eve” to the supercharged “My Pantheon,” Kamelot pays homage to its roots with moving hymnal sections while keeping its modern intensity. Old and new fans alike will find something to love in “The Awakening.” 

Although Karevik has been busy as the face of two power-metal powerhouses, he took the time to speak with Sonic Perspectives contributor Samantha Buckman about “The Awakening.” Tommy discussed the themes in the album, the fears he has had to overcome in his career, and the possibility of solo material in the future, along with much more.
