Following the release of the triumphant debut single “Ashen World”—chosen as one of Metal Hammer’s best tracks of the week—KAMELOT reveals the second single from their forthcoming masterpiece, Dark Asylum, out August 28 via Napalm Records.
The grandiose “Godlike Alchemy” emerges larger than life with its soaring string arrangements accompanying frontman Tommy Karevik’s goosebump inducing wails. Dynamically expansive and rhythmically infectious, the band flawlessly oscillates between ornate and brutal, with Thomas Youngblood wielding some serious melodic firepower in the solo and breakdown department. Biblical atmosphere with an anthemic chorus, “Godlike Alchemy” sees KAMELOT firing from all cylinders.
Singer Tommy Karevik on “Godlike Alchemy”:
“This song encapsulates the overarching theme of the Dark Asylum. What if you don’t need to look outside of yourself to find peace and happiness… What if you already possess the power you need to heal and create the reality you want to see? What if we are all magical, powerful beings with unlimited potential? It’s a mind boggling thought…”

Set within a shadowed Neo Victorian-era world, Dark Asylum invites listeners beyond the gates of RavenHill Asylum—an imposing institution once built as a grand cathedral, now repurposed into a place where science, faith, and madness uneasily coexist.
