American/Norwegian melodic metallers KAMELOT have a new bassist Sean Tibbetts, who toured with the band before. Thomas Youngblood (guitarist) says about it: "As Kamelot's concert schedule grows and commitments increase the demand on its members has also increased. Glenn Barry (bass) called me a few weeks ago and told me he just couldn't do it anymore, and has to step aside. He is like a brother to us and we've been through a lot of great times, so we wanted him to make this decision." Thomas Youngblood adds, "Bassist Sean Tibbetts has been on tour with us now for more than 2.5 years, stepping in for Glenn Barry while he took time off for family. We are very pleased to announce Sean Tibbetts as the new bassist!!!"
Kamelot will tour Europe with ADAGIO in March and April 2010. The band recently spent time at various studios — including the Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany — under the watchful eye of Sascha Paeth and Miro as producers. A February/March 2010 release is being planned for the group's highly anticipated follow-up to "Ghost Opera".
"The new songs are really inspiring, we feel the long touring and time away from writing has been perfect for new ideas and an aggressive approach to the new songs" according to Thomas Youngblood.
