"Kamelot's most recent realease, Siege Perilous, lives up to its Arthurian conotations. Were the Once and Future King here today, this would be his battle music. Khan, their new front man, has the sound this band needs; his voice sounds like it was made to be with this band. Excellent technical guitar work puts them in the same class as Mettallica when they still had Cliff Burton, and stirring violins and pianos put them up there with gothic band My Dying Bride. This is the best new realease in a sea of trite, formulaic music that the industry is turning out these days. If you love powerful guitar music, excellent technique, driving vocals, and a beautiful smattering of violins, pianos, and various other classical instruments in a rock format I highly recommend this CD."

All songs are arranged in a perfect blend of musicianship and song quality.The recent lineup change has only made them stronger. Incredible record from the Floridians."
