Casey Grillo, drummer for melodic-metal giants Kamelot, may be a little too modest when discussing his playing, but when he gets behind his drumkit, humility gives way to sheer percussive dominance and tastefull groove.

Kamelot recently completed work on their first DVD, \"One Cold Winter\'s Night\", which was shot in Oslo this past February. The disc was edited by Patric Ulleaus (Dimmu Borgir, Lacuna Coil, In Flames) and will include special guest appearances by Simone Simons (Epica), Sascha Paeth and Snowy Shaw (real name: Tommy Helgesson, ex-King Diamond, Dream Evil), plus many others.
Kamelot will be traveling to Wolfsburg, Germany this summer to lay down the tracks for the follow-up to 2005\'s \"The Black Halo\" with co-producers Sascha Paeth and Miro. Nine songs have already been compelted, according to guitarist Thomas Youngblood. An early 2007 release is expected.
Also on the Kamelot-related front, the first-ever Kamelot anthology, \"Lunar Sanctum\", will be released by Sanctuary Records. It will feature some classics as well as unreleased live cuts from the band\'s last concerts in Tokyo.
