Trondheim Rock Festival 2009

On May 22nd, the one and only Kamelot will play at Trondheim Rock Festival. If you're anywhere near the Trondheim area and you've got any appreciation for melodic metal, you should TOTALLY go. We've saw Kamelot live last Spring, and despite Roy Khan having severe throat problems, it was a fantastic show.








The first two videos are taken from Kamelot's live DVD "One Cold Winter's Night" - hands down the best music DVD not featuring Yngwie Malmsteen I've seen. Khan is by far the best hard rock singer Norway has fostered.

Yeah, I love the way Kamelot manages to seamless incorporate such diverse styles as progressive metal and gothic metal into standard powermetal. Not easy to pinpoint a spesific genre that would descripe Kamelot's music, but the way they include choir and orchestral parts pays homage to the great classical composers as well as ground-breaking neo-classical metal pioneers as Yngwie Malmsteen and Randy Rhoads. Any suggestions?

I checked out the festivals webpages (www.trondheimrock.no) and man what a collection of hairy/ scary dudes that was. How 'bout booking some good bands? Or at least somebody with sense enough to get a haircut and a real job...

Any suggestions?Nah..you appear to have it covered

How 'bout booking some good bands?..they actually did this time. Dimmu Borgir is pretty much the only band among this bunch I wouldn't pay to see

Or at least somebody with sense enough to get a haircut and a real job...Bjørn Berge would be interested in this information...

Nah..you appear to have it coveredYes, I'm quite the metal expert. So if there is anything about metal in general or Malmsteen news in specific you're wondering about, I'm the your go-see-guy.

Bjørn Berge would be interested in this information...Well, at least he got a hair cut.
