KAMELOT Shares ‘Godlike Alchemy’ Single From Upcoming ‘Dark Asylum’ Album
KAMELOT have released "Godlike Alchemy," the second single from their upcoming album "Dark Asylum," due out on 28 August via Napalm Records. The song follows lead single "Ashen World," which had already been named one of Metal Hammer's best tracks of the week, and continues to build anticipation for the band's next full-length release.
"Godlike Alchemy" is described as a grandiose, dynamically shifting track combining soaring string arrangements with vocalist Tommy Karevik's powerful delivery and guitarist Thomas Youngblood's melodic solos. Karevik has said the song reflects the album's central theme of finding inner peace and power rather than seeking it externally. "Dark Asylum" is set in a Neo Victorian world centred on RavenHill Asylum, exploring themes of identity, madness and redemption, with "Ashen World" also featuring a guest vocal appearance from DECESSUS frontwoman Ignacia Fernández.
