I haven't posted in a while because I'm busy as fuck. But I'm excited for the new SW album! Finally some concrete news! And a snippet as well! I really like what I hear in the snippet. Tommy sounds better than I thought he would, so it's all good :)

Also, the new Kamelot will be out next spring, and the Ayreon DVD is coming out next year. If I can, I will also see Nightwish on their Decades tour. This will be my first time seeing them with Floor.

So I have lots of things to be excited about :)

Need help...

Y’all…

I need help financially…. I got sick at my new job and was terminated despite giving them a doctor’s note that THEY ASKED FOR. I genuinely enjoyed the job for the most part, and unfortunately, it was with animals and the doctor couldn’t figure out what was wrong and I didn’t want to get any of them sick (cats specifically). 

I have no money at all… like overdrafted bank account and other shit. There’s no food in the house, and my roommates just had a baby and have been struggling financially for months due to the husband quitting his job to try and start his own company… Literally, I don’t even know if rent is being paid… I just pay for the basement and use of the kitchen. I’ve applied for SNAP benefits, but haven’t heard back yet… Luckily I already have Medicaid, so my health issues I can at least keep monitoring… Also will be talking to a therapist about applying for disability for multiple reasons… something I have never wanted to do, but…seems to be something I need to do at this point in my life.

I would prefer to work for my money. I do commissioned artwork and you can find the information post on my art blog >>>here<<<

New album in April!!

Five months of waiting left…

[lay-down-your-veil-deactivated2]

I’m also going to see them for first time on that same month!!

[thenewathensethos]

Have fun! :) They’re great live. The one time I have seen Kamelot is one of my favourite concerts.

(My absolute favourite concert was SW in Sweden three years ago).

[thenewathensethos]

Does anybody else think that SW need a little push to finish the new album?

I mean, I am very patient person but I am getting sort of frustrated. First they promised a new in 2013, which obviously didn’t happen. Then, three years later, they announced the new album to be released in the first half of this year. Didn’t happen as well. The first time I understood. All the years in between I was understanding but it’s getting frustrating.They haven broken their promise two times already and recently Andreas B wrote that they don’t know when the album is going to be released. I understand that they have lives and I am not someone who complains about it, but come on! It has been seven years since TGE and it’s not impossible to finish an album while working and having a life.

I started wondering why they haven’t finished making the album. I’m speculating whether it might be their perfectionism that keeps them from finishing it and whether they just need a deadline from someone who says: “We need you to be done by (point in the future).”

I am not forgetting that Tommy is working and also in Kamelot, so a scheduling conflict might arise, but I just don’t think that impossible to arrange recording and writing with SW as well.

[lay-down-your-veil-deactivated2]

Did you happen to see the latest post on their FB page? I think we might finally get some album news in the near future.

I’m just as eager about the new album as everyone else, but since I’ve only known SW for two years, I have a little more patience. It will come :)

[thenewathensethos]

I did. But it’s just a promise of an update and nothing else. Nothing concrete, like an announcement of the album title or artwork for example

I hope that we will hear the album soon but at the same time I doubt it, given their history.

For five years I have been patient. I am slowly but surely getting fed up with having to wait so long without any concrete news.

It’s the same thing with Patrick Rothfuss, actually. He wrote my favourite book. It’s part of a trilogy and I have been waiting for the third for six years. Still no release date but he’s doing a lot of things in between. But no news about the last book at all.

Going through my favourites on tumblr never fails to cheer me up. There’s so much fun stuff in my favourites and it always make me smile. Even when I’m stressed.

It reminds why I love to be a part of kamblr because I can connect with other people who feel the same way about Kamelot as I do.

[rosswoodpark]

I’m not saying kamelot fans are the best but…. I’ve never once met an asshole at a kamelot concert.

[hairyhanniballs-deactivated2018]

Literally been the nicest people I’ve met at concerts, too. 

[thenewathensethos]

I met an asshole at a Kamelot concert but he was the only one. All of the other people I met were nice.

[thenewathensethos]

Found these old screen shots on my phone. They're from the making of videos of the festival season in summer 2012. I think the first two are right before the band goes on stage for Tommy's very first performance at Masters of Rock.

[rosswoodpark]

I love that kamelot is working on new stuff but blease…. let Tommy rest.. let that boy take a nap..

[hairyhanniballs-deactivated2018]

Tommy has a busy fucking year, man. 

[karegod]

LET HIM SLEEP…….. LET THE MAN SLEEP

[thenewathensethos]

As much as I love Tommy's singing on The Source, his tone doesn't sound as good as it used to. I don't know why but it could be due to the stress. I also noticed that he sounds s increasingly strained during the last two years. He didn't before. It could also be due the stress and because he doesn't really know how to take care of his voice. So, please, Tommy take a vacation and maybe get a vocal coach to help you take care of your beautiful voice. I'm worried about you.

What a nightmare! Tonight I dreamt that Tommy left Kamelot and it felt SO REAL. He just wrote a short announcement on his facebook page and there was no confirmation from the band but everybody believed it. Everyone who read the announcement was devastated and was wondering why Tommy left since he didn’t name a reason why he left. Someone speculated if it was because he realised that he didn’t have enough time to focus on his job as a firefighter or Seventh Wonder and most people accepted that theory. All of this felt so real that when I woke up I had to remind myself that it was just a dream. It was horrible! I was even imageging websites that stated Tommy’s membership in Kamelot was 2012-2016. Still, as I opened the facebook app on my phone I was half believing that my dream was real and only when I was on Tommy’s and Kamelot’s page and everything looked like always I was finally able to calm down. God, what an awful dream!

Conclusion: I hope that Tommy never leaves Kamelot.

[thenewathensethos]

Is it weird that this is the only dream I can remember from last year?

[thenewathensethos]

I just realised that Silverthorn will be five years old in October and that is also nearly five years ago since Tommy was announced as the new vocalist of Kamelot. I wasn’t a fan of the band at that point but I remember the date on that I bought Silverthorn: 15 November, 2012. It feels like yesterday but that was five freaking years ago!

[thenewathensethos]

Just forgot to add: I also remember all those accusations of Tommy copying Roy which were definitely not fun. Thankfully, these have become less with time and I’m grateful for that.

It's here!! Can't wait to listen to it ❤

I just want y’all to know if Tommy hits a high note…you know the kind… I’m gonna die.
