KAMELOT UNVEIL EPIC FINAL SINGLE FROM FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM DARK ASYLUM NEW ALBUM DARK ASYLUM OUT FRIDAY, AUGUST 28 VIA NAPALM RECORDS ALONGSIDE WORLD TOUR KICKOFF — PRE-ORDER NOW!

Today, legendary symphonic metal unit KAMELOT unveil the final single from their forthcoming epic album Dark Asylum, out this Friday via Napalm Records

. “Sanctuary” is built upon pulsating riffs, and cinematic swells. Iconic frontman Tommy Karevik is joined by labelmates and upcoming tour partners Visions of Atlantis’ Clémentine Delauney, and Decessus frontwoman and current Miss World Chile Ignacia Fernández for an exhilaratingly dynamic vocal trio. Operating within a heavy music community that actively fosters safe, inclusive, and fiercely LGBTQIA+-friendly spaces for all fans and artists alike, the band delivers a release that resonates deeply with themes of personal freedom, identity, and breaking free from oppressive constructs. With all of its bombast and bravado “Sanctuary” sees the band firmly planting their feet before leaping into their triumphant, intercontinental victory lap.

Guitarist and founding member Thomas Youngblood on “Sanctuary”:

“‘Sanctuary’ represents the moment when the darkness of RavenHill is finally left behind. The song is about hope, freedom and finding your way back to yourself after everything you’ve endured. The video takes the story beyond the walls of RavenHill and gives us a glimpse of life after the escape, a new beginning, but one still shaped by the memories and scars of the past. With Tommy, Clémentine, and Ignacia bringing three distinct voices to the song, it gives ‘Sanctuary’ an emotional depth that perfectly reflects the journey from darkness into light.”

This Friday, alongside the album’s release, the band kicks off their extensive Dark Asylum World Tour in Orlando, FL, bringing audiences throughout into the spirit breaking halls of RavenHill Asylum cities like in New York, NY, Seattle, WA, and Dallas, TX for North America, and Tilburg, NL at Kamfest, London, UK, Warsaw, PL, and Barcelona, ES across the pond. This is a spectacle that should not be missed.
