In a new interview with Interview Under Fire, former KAMELOT and current CONCEPTION vocalist Roy Khan spoke about his upcoming first solo album, which is tentatively due in early 2027.
Khan's solo album is being produced by Sascha Paeth, a producer, composer and musician with a long-standing career in European metal.
The album will be a mix of CONCEPTION and KAMELOT sounds, but Khan emphasizes that he wants to capture the essence of KAMELOT's music while he was part of the band.
He mentions working with Caio Kehyayan and Adrienne Cowan on the songwriting process, alongside Paeth.
Khan explains that he needs a team to help him create songs, stating that he plays guitar and piano but requires skilled musicians to complement his work.
He praises the skills of Caio Kehyayan and acknowledges working with Sascha Paeth again after many years.
The interview touches on Khan's decision not to release a solo record earlier, citing busy schedules and personal reasons.
Despite this, Khan expresses enthusiasm for his upcoming solo album and the new musical direction it will represent.
