Kamelot & Temperance in Madrid

Kamelot is an American metal band formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1991 by guitarist Thomas Youngblood and drummer Richard Warner. Its symphonic power metal is represented by albums including Epica, The Black Halo and Ghost Opera, and by songs such as “Forever,” “Center of the Universe” and “March of Mephisto.” Roy Khan fronted the band during much of that period; Tommy Karevik became lead vocalist in 2012. In 2006, Kamelot filmed One Cold Winter’s Night at Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, preserving a concert from the Roy Khan era. The band toured behind Silverthorn after Karevik joined, followed by the Haven World Tour. In 2018, the North American leg of The Shadow Tour included Delain and Battle Beast.

Temperance is an Italian band formed in 2013 by guitarist and singer Marco Pastorino. The group plays melodic power metal shaped by symphonic arrangements and layered male-and-female vocals; its catalogue includes the albums Of Jupiter and Moons, Viridian, Diamanti and the concept record Hermitage: Daruma’s Eyes Pt. 2. Temperance supported Tarja on European dates of the Raw Tour, presenting its multi-singer lineup in clubs and theatres. The band later joined the European Nemesis AD Tour as a guest of Serenity.
