September 14, 2018 marked one of the highlights of KAMELOT’s very successful career. The band around mastermind Thomas Youngblood, known for its high class collaborations, invited the creme de la creme of the symphonic metal scene to celebrate that evening in Tilburg. Featured guest musicians like Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Charlotte Wessels (Delain), Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) and Lauren Hart (Once Human) – just to name a few – made this evening in Tilburg an unforgettable night to remember for every fan and musician in attendance.

KAMELOT frontman Tommy Karevik on “Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)”:

“We can now proudly announce that the first video to be released from the show will be “Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)”.  The song marks the beginning of a new era as it was one of the main songs on Silverthorn, the first KAMELOT album with me as the singer. Enjoy!”

KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood on I Am The Empire – Live From The 013:

“We are pleased beyond words to present our new live album/DVD/BluRay I Am The Empire – Live From The 013. After multiple SOLD OUT events in The Netherlands, it was only fitting to film this event at Tilburg’s famed 013 venue. The icing on the cake was having all the special guests attend this historic night, it was truly divine. “

Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz says:

“It was a magical evening that night. It was so much fun to play such a nice long set with a packed house of fans who knew every word to every song alongside my Kam fam and girlfriends!”

Amaranthe’s Elize Ryd comments:

”It was an historical moment for me to take part in this KAMELOT live-DVD recording. Let’s not forget that it was with Kamelot I began my touring life, and we toured a lot. I am so happy to finally be able to perpetuate the era of hard work and friendship with such great quality. A huge thanks to the entire KAMELOT family for embracing my presence on this very special evening.”

Delain’s Charlotte Wessels adds:

“It was an absolute delight performing “Under Grey Skies” with KAMELOT live in 013 during their special night. It felt like a big family gathering. Thank you for including me. I am sure that this DVD will be a wonderful memento for Kamfans worldwide!”

Once Human’s Lauren Hart says:
