Haha, Slade. Hahahaha.

I think I can honestly say that Kamelot are becoming my favorite metal band, I mean honestly, I hate the typical "(fl)power" metal band, but Kamelot are so much different from them all. They know how to use their symphonic elements properly, not to much, and not to little. The guitars are never really annoyingly soaring, and the keyboards know their place as well. Drums are usually very well done, not a huge stream of double bass, and in fact The Black Halo had ALOT of high hat hits, and less double bass.
Roy Khan has an amazing voice, it is incredibly smooth, and does not go to the typical super high voice that most power metal vocalists have.
This is easily the perfect power metal band, and simply one of the best metal bands of all time too.
Considered that I mostly listen to Black and Viking/Folk metal, I think that is really saying something.
Anyways, The Black Halo = AOTY.
EDIT of metal blasphemy: I hate Opeth. Black Sabbath released their best albums when Dio was with them. Children of Bodom have sucked since FTR. Reign in Blood is horribly boring. Master of Puppets is boring as hell as well. Angela Glossow is THE MOST OVERRATED VOCALIST IN MELO-DEATH EVER, simply because she is a horrid vocalist, not because she is a woman. Pantera have NEVER released a good album. Megadeth released one good album, Rust In Peace.
