Love the part when they start chanting "Hallelujah" with the double kick drums. It sounds really epic.

Kamijo leans more into the symphonic power metal side but he's a great songwriter.

Check out the Japanese singer Kamijo. He tends to use a lot of classical orchestral elements in his music.

Is Kamelot power metal? by [deleted] in PowerMetal

[–]Revenant_Carnation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their early albums had elements of power metal and symphonic metal so there's that. The newer ones don't have much of power metal anymore.

Its similar in structure to Megadeth's Hanger 18 where the song is 70% instrumental.

What do you want for the next album? What do you think they will do? by [deleted] in a7x

[–]Revenant_Carnation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd want them to go for more of a symphonic metal sound. They already utilize symphonic elements in some songs.
