KAMELOT have released their second single ‚Godlike Alchemy‘ from the forthcoming studio album Dark Asylum, due August 28, 2026 via Napalm Records. The track showcases the band’s signature blend of orchestral grandeur and powerful metal dynamics, accompanied by an official music video. A world tour in support of the album kicks off in North America in late August 2026.KAMELOT continue building anticipation for their upcoming studio album Dark Asylum with the release of their second single, ‚Godlike Alchemy‘. Following the critically acclaimed ‚Ashen World‘, which was named one of the best songs of the week by Metal Hammer, the new track further establishes the sonic identity of the forthcoming record, scheduled for release on August 28, 2026 through Napalm Records.
With majestic string arrangements, anthemic melodies and the commanding vocals of frontman Tommy Karevik, ‚Godlike Alchemy‘ unfolds as an epic soundscape rich in atmosphere and intensity. Guitarist Thomas Youngblood contributes a virtuosic solo and striking breakdowns, while the soaring chorus cements the track as another standout moment from the album.
Karevik described the song’s thematic core: ‚This song perfectly encapsulates Dark Asylum. What if we didn’t have to seek peace and happiness outside of ourselves? What if we already carry the power we need to heal and shape our own reality? What if we are all magical, powerful beings with limitless potential? An idea as fascinating as it is overwhelming.‘
Dark Asylum transports listeners into a dark Victorian world behind the gates of the RavenHill asylum, where science, faith and madness coexist in unsettling harmony. The album features an impressive array of guest artists, including Tobias Sammet, Clémentine Delauney, Ignacia Fernández and Lea-Sophie Fischer, among others.
KAMELOT will support the release with a Dark Asylum World Tour spanning North America from late August and Europe from November 2026, with support acts including VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, EXIT EDEN and TEMPERANCE.
