Kamelot - Epica (2003)

Epica is the sixth full-length album by metal band Kamelot. It was released in January 13, 2003 through Noise Records. It was the first concept album by Kamelot. Most of the lyrics were written before the actual music was composed. This album, along with its sequel The Black Halo, is loosely based on the story of Goethe's Faust.

“

The congenious songwriting team of Khan and Thom Youngblood has come up with an album that at the same time stays close to KAMELOT's very own sound and takes up new and fresh ideas to make "Epica" an album to witness for yourself to take in.

”

Kamelot is a power metal band that incorporates many elements of symphonic, progressive and on the last two albums even gothic metal into their music. The band hails from Tampa, Florida, and was founded by Thomas Youngblood and Richard Warner in 1991.
