Geebz Reaction to KAMELOT Liar Liar ft Alissa White Gluz // The Decomposer Lounge 

In case you were wondering, you know Alissa actually. She is the vocalist of Arch Enemy!

Kamelot - Elizabeth (I, II & III), live version - it's one of their older, classic songs, with their previous vocalist!

Geebz!! The day that the world breaks down - Ayreon is awesome featuring this singer Tommy Karevik amongst others

Kamelot - Elizabeth I, II, III (Live) One Cold Winters Night. This one is a Kamelot MUST!!! Alissa is the lead vocalist for Arch Enemy...

Under Grey Skies from Kamelot is a great slower song from them, with a guest from another good band, Delain

Kamelot - Memento Mori 5 months of regular requesting

Heck yeah, Kamelot kills it. I'd suggest checking out some songs with their original singer. "Ghost Opera" or "Up Through the Ashes" will make you feel good. Alissa White-Gluz is from the mighty Arch Enemy! On that note you'd better check out "War Eternal" or "A Fight I Must Win". Cheers!

Finally Geebz listened! Kamelot is one of the most important bands in my musical journey, stoked you finally discovered them. Hope to see more from you!

Be'lakor - The Smoke of Many Fires. I will request this until the end times!

Finally got to react to Kamelot! Elizabeth (I, II, III) or Memento Mori are a must for other reactions to this band, imo

I will just leave here some interesting facts about this band. Epica's band name came from Kamelot's album with the same name. Alissa is the current Arch Enemy vocalist and was doing backup/guest vocals for Kamelot while on tour together with Elize Ryd which is the vocalist of Amaranthe. At the time they were the opening act for Nightwish. As mentioned in other comments you will hear a lot about Roy Kahn the initial vocalist for Kamelot and I definitely recommend to hear songs from that era. He left the band for personal health problems. Some of my favorite songs from them are "Center of the Universe", "March of Mephisto" and "When the Lights are Down".

You’ll see a lot of comments about their previous vocalist, which will spark some Nightwish-like debate, but I think most people appreciate what both Tommy Karevik (current) and Roy Khan (previous) have contributed to the band. For something good with Roy, I recommend Forever (Live). m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EqqPYySZnVY.html It is built from a riff based on a part of Edvard Grieg’s Solveig’s Song.

I recommend checking out old Kamelot, with their previous singer Roy Khan. That guy is just unbelievable. His range & technique, lyricality, the way he conveys emotions are ridiculously amazing. My song suggestions would be Edge of Paradise, The Haunting or Forever. Can be studio or live, he'll blow you away either way! Greeting from Poland :)

For more Alissa White-Gluz, check out the old "The Agonist"-songs, "Thank you, pain" for example

Glad to see you got around to Kamelot! Actually you've already checked out Alissa's band before, Arch Enemy. Do keep the breakdowns coming, it's nice to hear a composers thoughts and describing details that are easy to miss for the average listener!

Geez! Thanks for getting to Kamelot. For the People’s elbow, Anthem, Here’s to the Fall or Love you to death.. The full blown rock metal opera, Elizabeth I II & III, March of Mephisto, or Up through the ashes ( this is a story of Christ’s trial from Pontius Pilate perspective)

Lead singer also has a great prog band 7th Wonder. He sounds great live!

Thanx Geebz, that was a wonderful reaction ! For some more Kamelot, try with their former singer, Roy Khan, maybe Elizabeth (I, II, III), live version, it is just a mind blowing experience and a really magnificient piece of music.

Love the Symphonic metal sound of Kamelot! Really unique choruses.... Love their live performance of Phantom Divine! Best wishes from Namibia 🤘🏻🇳🇦🤘🏻

If you REALLY want to see what the vocalist can do, in a far more virtuoso band, check out Seventh Wonder. Their 31 minute prog metal opus "The Great Escape" is one of the 3 greatest songs I've ever heard! But shorter songs like "The Angelmaker", The Promise" and "Not An Angel" are cool too.

For more Kamelot (who I'd classify as splitting the divide of Power Metal and Symphonic Metal), I'd check out The Haunting (live), Abandoned, When Lights Are Down, Sacrimony, Under Grey Skies, and Phantom Divine. Alissa is the lead singer for Arch Enemy, a Melodic Death band. For her, I'd check out Nemesis (live), Under Black Flags We March (live), War Eternal, and The Eagle Flies Alone. You should also check out Arch Enemy's previous frontwoman (and current manager) Angela Gossow. For her, definitely check out Nemesis, Ravenous, Under Black Flags We March, and My Apocalypse (all live). Something to note are the differing techniques used by Alissa and Angela. Alissa is a fry screamer which let's her use longer phrasing and be more active on stage, as well as a bit more intelligible for people who are less experienced with extreme vocals. Angela is a false cord screamer, which gives her an incredibly rich... Roar with tons of overtones. However, she needs shorter phrasing and isn't as active on stage. Both are simply exceptional at what they do.

Alissa is the current vocalist on "Arch Enemy", and its pretty good, BUT, the former vocalist, Angela Gossow was a show on its own, killer stage performace with sheer power

History lesson...Roy Kahn, lead vocalist, originated in a fantastic metal band called Conception. He left to join Kamelot after their album Flow. Check out songs from that album. He left Kamelot and became a preacher before reforming Conception a few years ago.

Id love to see your reaction to evergrey. Such an underrated band... Havent heard all of their pieces but each and every song that I stumbled upon was amazing no exceptations. Some of my favs are Beholder, King of Errors, Escape of the Phoenix and Eternal Nocturnal

Geebz, didn’t you already check out some Arch Enemy? She’s the current vocalist. Jeff Loomis plays guitar in the band... her earlier band was The Agonist, perhaps check out Thank You Pain or Panophobia, she did a lot mor mix of clean and harsh vocals in the Agonist than in Arch Enemy.

React to "Kamelot - Elizabeth (live)" please!

I must say I think the music video version of this cuts out some of my favorite parts of the song.

Before I discovered Kamelot, some two decades back, I didn't even care for music, only ever hearing your typical mainstream music that everyone knows. Kamelot however spoke to me in a way nothing ever at that point had, and even thanks to that I've grown to at least appreciate even mainstream music. Frankly not sure I could live without music at this point, so... Thanks Kamelot?? At any rate, they kickstarted my discovery of sooo many fantastic bands that I absolutely adore, such as my current favourite band Avantasia. Would love to see a reaction to them.

I discovered your channel today, from the G.O.A.T. reaction video. I immediately binged multiple videos. I’m a musical fellow (at least I like to think I’m musical 🙃) but never went to music school or anything, so I’m discovering a lot of new things here. I’m currently trying to learn to play drums; I dabbled a bit in piano and guitar, but I’ve realized that what my soul craves and my body needs is the drums. The first time I listened to G.O.A.T. was a watershed moment for me; Clay Aeschliman has godly skills, and I needed to know the secret... (I think it turned out to be something like 10,000 hours). Anyhow, I love the music on your channel, and I love the format (especially the rambles; I love long rambles about anything interesting) so I’ll most definitely be sticking around... PS: Song to maybe do a video-“Where Is My Mind?” by the Pixies...

Would LOVE to see you react to Coheed & Cambria's The Willing Well suite. Lots of reprising/motifs throughout if you can do all 4 songs, but if you have to pick one, I'd say Willing Well II. Awesome engineering and interesting song construction.

That is a massive arrangement of music! Kamelot is unique.

Oh man, Geebz covered Kamelot. Great band. Great guess vocalist. Do some Arch Enemy if you liked her singing. Edit: Amaranthe would be awesome too.

Love that song! Awesome to hear your analysis. BTW Alissa White Gluz is the current vocalist for Arch Enemy...you did one of their song a month ago "World is Yours" which I had recommended haha. Arch Enemy actually produced their first ballad in 25 years which is called "Reason to Believe" because they finally had singer with appropriate range to do so (confirmed my Michael the OG guitarist). Anyway if you want something really different, check out the band called Amaranthe...they have 3 vocalist! I would suggest either their recent song "Helix" to start since you will see the band's style and typical arrangement. If you want to do a second one, checkout the track called "Boom!1". Also "Hunger" is one of my favorite tracks (spoiler they had different vocalists then). PS: If you check out Amaranthe, I know you will wonder/ask about the Synth you hear, it is pre-recorded by Olof the guitarist.

She has many voices!

She has also done a song with Gothic Cabaret artist Aurelio Voltaire called Leaves in the Stream. It's off his album Heart Shaped Wound.

Insomnia, Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife), My Therapy, and Amnesiac are also awesome Kamelot songs.

This band was my first dive into a classical style of metal. And there I went, into the glorious deeps.

Yes Alissa is in a band called Arch Enemy and they are very well known. BUT if you want to listen to her full potential you should go for her former band The Agonist. The songs i can recommend, that you might have access to are Thank you Pain and Panophobia. My personal favorite is Ideomotor. It has an official version but this is cut after 5 minutes to fit EP value and therefore missing the intrumental outro from the album version, which is about 8 minutes. Where Ideomotor has the best mix of her range, Swan Lake by The Agonist has her hightest note recorded and the lowest i found so far are in the Shadow on the Wall Cover from Arch Enemy. If you are interested in The Agonist after listen to the line up with Alissa, you could try there new stuff as well. Songs for that are Blood as my Guide and In Vertigo.

Love Kamelot. Good stuff

Great reaction. Great band. Alissa is from Arch Enemy. You did a reaction of them. Good song. All there songs are good. Thank you for this reaction.

You are the best man, honestly like literally the best at reactions. I love this song, please check out more Kamelot, and Arch Enemy.

Geebzzz aloha ❤ Please do Insomnium-while we sleep.

this video version cuts out a minute of the song, including the solo. The full version is better, and more fleshed out. I hoped you'd do that given you've been using spotify.

Those are some heavy duty picks on your keyboard, Geebz

This guy's amazing! Just with a few minutes of listening was capable to determinate that Kamelot have a different and particular sounds and that is totally true! Kamelot is a very conspicuous band :)

You definitely hit the mark on their specific style. My personal favorite (at the moment) of them is "The Proud and the Broken". And many close seconds, I very much enjoy their style.

Alissa is in Arch Enemy currently, i believe you already did a reaction to one of their songs.

Official videos - "Phantom Divine" start. "Insomnia" - middle. This one - end.

Would love to see your breakdown of some VOLA! To me they’ve always sounded like a modern, heavier Pink Floyd. Title track of their debut album Inmazes is in my opinion one of the most beautiful progressive metal masterpieces ever written, guaranteed chicken skin dude! 🤙

Awesome! Please do Goodbye Sober Day by Mr. Bungle! 🙃

Check out her single from Me and that Man, she gets really bluesy vocally, showing more range. Or her cover of Life in the Fast Lane by the Eagles.

You should Check out Khan singing with Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir. "March of Mephisto" Orchestral Black metal and Khans amazing dramatic melodic vocals.. OOOOOFF

Sure someone else already mentioned it but still: This version was shortened for the music video, the album version elaborates on certain sections in the bridge so to speak.

Arch Enemy is Alissa's group. Listen to " Handshake With Hell ".

ou should check out the album version of this song. There i an additional part between the second verse and hook that was cut out of the video, also about half of the solo section as cut out.

Wheel of Time by Blind Guardian !!

I think a Kamelot song that has some really great composition is Memento Mori

Love the channel! Since you don't watch the videos I would stick to spotify to avoid instances where the video cuts the song short (which unfortunately happens a lot)

King Gizzard - Crumbling Castle

You'd probably love another band similarly epic melodic metal with a much more classical orchestral influence and technical norweigan guitar/piano work. 'Winds - Time Without End'... Andy Winter's piano work is some of the greatest in metal.

ERA - Ameno must see that!

Here from your latest video :) Please do another Kamelot song with their earlier singer, Roy Khan - Elizabeth 1, 2 & 3 LIVE would be neat :)

Failure - Another Space Song

VOIVOD - The End Of Dormancy You rule man, keep on preaching the goodest words

Elisabeth l, ll @ lll with their previous vocalist Roy Kahn are amazing.

Please do Kamelot - Karma (live) with former singer Roy Khan. He was the soul of the band.

Now you must do katatonia. 🤔 i would say onward battle for the song....also more between the buried and me when????

Please check the band Ayreon - The day that the world breaks down. The singer of Kamelot, Tommy, is in it aswell. It's a long one, but I (and the rest of your followers) think you will like it

Man you gotta check out sepultura altitude live studio session!!!

Holy cow, Kamelot brings me back. Took a girlfriend to see them over a decade ago. Siege Perilous and Epica were great albums.

Can you please do Shogun by Trivium. I think you will like it. it has everything :)

that swag... lol

Is it just me, or would this make a great Jame Bond opening song?

Welcome to Power Metal. Stay awhile. |m|

Insomnia and My Confession are great songs to analyze too 🤘🏻😎

Please do the Falling Veil by Elder!

New band, new adventures!

OH MAN Let me tell you about two great "ends the way it begins" albums from two artists I would highly recommend to anybody any day of the week. High on Fire put out a record called "De Vermis Mysteriis" that is something of a concept album. A little ways in there is a five track story, starting with "Fertile Green" and ending on "King of Days," (both great songs, especially "King of Days") that begins and ends with the same drum beat, and if you've never listened to High on Fire, let me tell you that their drums are rumbling and thunderous, and an absolute delight to listen to when it's just their drummer opening or closing out a set. The second band is Carach Angren, and they have another concept album called "Where Corpses Sink Forever," which ends the way that it begins. Number one track I would have to recommend from them would have to be "The Funerary Dirge of the Violinist." It is absolutely dark, beautiful, and heart wrenching.

Still holding out for... Bjork -Joga !!!

Don't know if you've done any Static-X. The only is a good one you should check out I love how you break down your videos.

Aloha 😎🤙

I would absolutely love to see your reaction to Human Sadness - The Voidz | it is a melancholy synth driven masterpiece and I think you would find a lot about this song to admire

Architects - "Animals" [Orchestral Version] - Live At Abbey Road Devin Townsend Project - Deadhead [Live At Royal Albert Hall] August Burns Red More Nine Inch Nails Chino Morenos other Bands besides Deftones: Crosses, Palms, Team Sleep While She Sleeps Cradle Of Filth / Devilment

All for one! she is a goddess and I bet a debate will soon open on her or her replacement,,,,

I am legit BEGGING you please react to literally any of the first 5 songs on Singularity by Northlane

Please react to Maneskin - Zitti e Buoni (Eurovision Song Contest 2021 winner)

Do Seventh Wonder - The Light (Tommys old other band)

Sonata Arctica - Paid in Full check that one out

Erra or Veil of Maya!

Riverside - Left Out.

Awsome decomposing as always. Please decompose: Cult of Luna - Dark city dead man

ELDER. Before. Turn into an elder. lll is the song. Potions by PUSCIFER on the recycle ♻️ Awwlright I am still here thanks.

Mentioned it a few times. Morphine's Beuna, not related to this band, but Morphine are special.

Check out JD Beck on Zildjian LIVE on RU-vid.

Please do Eluveitie (I know I spelled that wrong) -Inis Mona

It's a shame you listened to the Music Video version of the song since it's rather truncated compared to the Album version, but I'm glad to see this cross the feed all the same!

Would love to see a break down of The Chemical Brothers - The Universe Sent Me Or Aphex Twin - T69 Collapse

Please react to Ad Infinitum - Marching on Versailles. For me the best new band that is out there

If you want to hear a band that is almost completely defined by their voice try Blind Guardian - The Throne

Great breakdown! Please do Lamb of God ft. Chino from Deftones - Embers. I promise you won’t be disappointed
