Great Video! Great Band! Kamelot

I'd have sworn that Kamelot is one of the best Euro/Scandinavian Metal projects around. But, while their current vocalist Roy Khan is Norwegian, Kamelot actually got it's start in Tampa, Florida!!! AMERICAN metal! Well, kind of. Once momentum started picking up, the band began focusing most of their touring and recording efforts in Europe (surprise surprise... supply and demand). It's pretty obvious that attention to detail is high on the list of priorities for these guys. Not to mention the fact that they are every bit as clean and precise in their live shows as they are on their studio work. Man! What a novelty! These guys are a lot less cheesy than many bands that share the genre and a ton more approachable and palatable than those on the hard edge of the pack. If you are going to check 'em out (and I highly recommend that you do) This is where I would start:
