Kamelot teamed up with Lauren Hart of Once Human for the song and video "Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)," and while the music is good and totally worth listening to more than once, the video looks insane. Seriously, they went for a dystopian theme and did not cut the corners on nailing down a weird digital future.
Here's what the band had to say about the video and the album.
It's time to step into the dystopic and psychological world of The Shadow Theory. Kamelot returns with a dystopian inspired vision of the future for the song "Phantom Divine". In the not too distant future, our memories and thoughts will be extracted and transferred to synthetic AI. Our carbon based bodies will no longer be needed and eventually discarded. On "Phantom Divine" we explore this vision of a world where we are replaced by AI. Welcome to the Shadow Industries Transference Division…Welcome to the Phantom Divine (Shadow Empire)!
The Shadow Theory is out April 6.
