#350: Kamelot Vocalist Tommy Karevik

Our guest this week is Kamelot and Seventh Wonder vocalist Tommy
Karevik. We discuss all the preparation that went into creating the
new Kamelot live album/DVD, I Am The Empire - Live From The 013,
getting every special guest that they went after, his childhood
love of Michael Jackson, transitioning from being a fan of pop to
heavy metal, how the touring cycle for Kamelot was affected by
COVID-19, how having a second career is necessary for every metal
musician, on his recent marriage to Kobra Paige, the concept behind
Seventh Wonder’s latest album Tiara, if there will be another
Seventh Wonder record in the future, and an update on the next
Kamelot album. Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia discuss Scott Ian’s
comments about backing tracks being used at concerts, Mike Portnoy
yelling about the evil empire of Spotify, and why complaining about
streaming is utterly useless because there is no going back. Songs:
Kamelot - “Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)" (Live, Featuring Lauren
Hart of Once Human), and Seventh Wonder - “The Everones" Learn more
