Following the release of their latest full-length, the introspective, uplifting, vital The Awakening (#2 US Current Hard Music Albums, #27 Current Album Sales), exciting reissues of seminal albums Ghost Opera, Poetry For The Poisoned and One Cold Winter's Night, and several international tours – including their recent Awaken The World tour, which has become the band’s most successful and massive headline run in their 30+ year history – KAMELOT is ringing in the new year by celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of the most renowned albums of their career, The Black Halo. Upon its release, Blabbermouth dubbed The Black Halo “stunning”, naming it “one of 2005's most impressive releases”. Widely considered by fans and critics alike as a shining example of KAMELOT’s finest early-era work, the album featured standout guest characterizations by Dimmu Borgir mastermind Shagrath, keymaster Jens Johansson of Stratovarius and many others, and was produced by band mastermind/guitarist Thomas Youngblood and vocalist Roy Khan, as well as renowned musicians, producers and The Black Halo personnel Sascha Paeth and Miro.
