Kamelot is a baroque/progressive metal band from Tampa, Florida, founded by Thomas Youngblood and Richard Warner in 1993.

In 1994 the band signed a deal with Noise Records; the release of their debut album "Eternity" followed in 1995 to high praise. The next album, "Dominion", was released the following year.

1997 saw two of the band's members replaced; drummer and founder Richard Warner and lead vocalist Mark Vanderbilt. Respectively, their replacements were Casey Grillo and Roy Khan (formerly of Conception). With the two new members, Kamelot released their third studio album, "Siege Perilous". The new line-up undertook an extensive tour of Europe during the fall of the same year only to return to the ´Gate Studio` in Wolfsburg twelve months later to produce the fourth studio effort "The Fourth Legacy".

The summer of 2000 brought the ´New Allegiance Tour` through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Spain during which the recordings for Kamelot´s first live album "The Expedition" were made. Only a few months later the band presented their fifth album entitled "Karma", to the greatest critical success yet. Their sixth album, "Epica" was released in 2003.

The band's seventh effort, "The Black Halo", was released in 2005.
