International symphonic metal legends Kamelot return with their haunting new album Dark Asylum, arriving August 28 via Napalm Records.

The album marks the band's 14th studio effort, following in the footsteps of previous critically-acclaimed albums such as Haven (#1 Billboard Hard Rock), The Shadow Theory (#2 Billboard Hard Rock, #1 Amazon Hard Rock & Metal), and most recently The Awakening (#2 Billboard Hard Rock and Top 10 on the German charts).

Dark Asylum invites listeners beyond the gates of RavenHill Asylum—a place where science, faith, and madness uneasily coexist.

Founded in 1991 by guitarist Thomas Youngblood, Kamelot is renowned for their infectious melodies, cinematic storytelling, and electrifying live performances.,According to Kamelot founder and guitarist Thomas Youngblood, Dark Asylum "follows a soul trapped inside a world of masks, fractured memories, and psychological torment, wandering the endless halls of RavenHill in search of truth, identity, and redemption." Frontman Tommy Karevik adds that the album invites listeners into the hidden chambers of the human mind.

Through self-exploration, awareness, and inner peace, healing becomes possible on Dark Asylum.

This concept opened the door to a more cinematic and haunting sonic landscape, allowing Kamelot to experiment with darker, more eerie musical themes.,The album sees longtime Kamelot producer Sascha Paeth returning to helm the album alongside Jacob Hansen, who oversees mixing and mastering.

On Dark Asylum, the band pushes further into cinematic and atmospheric territory while preserving the signature hooks that define their sound.,Kamelot will take RavenHill Asylum on the road this fall with the immersive Dark Asylum World Tour, spanning North America and Europe.

The tour will bring their haunting live performances to fans worldwide.",
