Thomas Youngblood comments on “RavenLight”: “The album offers many diverse songs, here is one of the mid-tempo tracks being offered as an IG for the fans, enjoy this one, more to come!!” The Shadow Theory was produced by acclaimed music producer Sascha Paeth and mastered by Jacob Hansen. Guests on the album include Lauren Hart (ONCE HUMAN), Jennifer Haben (BEYOND THE BLACK) and Sascha Paeth. The amazing cover and artwork was created by Stefan Heilemann. KAMELOT recently parted ways with longtime drummer Casey Grillo and has replaced him with Johan “Jo” Nunez. Grillo has been filling in for QUEENSRŸCHE drummer Scott Rockenfield since April 2017.
