KAMELOT’s new album, Silverthorn, sold 5,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position #79 on The Billboard 200 chart. In support of their latest release KAMELOT embarked on “Thorns Over Japan”, a three show tour in Japan. Behind-the-scenes video footage of their stop in Japan may be viewed below.
Silverthorn was released on October 30, 2012 in North America, October 26, 2012 in Germany and October 29, 2012 in the rest of Europe via Steamhammer/SPV. The CD marks the band’s first release with Tommy Karevik, the Swedish vocalist who previously fronted SEVENTH WONDER (a group that he is still a member of). Tommy first appeared as one of the guest singers on KAMELOT’s very successful 2011 “Pandemonium World Tour”.
KAMELOT will embark on a North American headling tour this fall. Support on the trek will come from DELAIN and EKLIPSE.
