The Black Halo is the seventh studio album by American power metal band Kamelot. It was released on March 15, 2005, through Steamhammer Records. It is a concept album inspired by Goethe's Faust. Continuing the story introduced in Epica, it is the second and final record in Kamelot's two-part rock opera about Ariel. Epica tells Part 1 while The Black Halo tells Part 2. Goethe's Faust is also broken into two parts. The Black Halo features guest appearances by Simone Simons, Shagrath, Jens Johansson, and several others. The album was released on vinyl in the spring of 2009, along with Ghost Opera. Regarded as the band's magnum opus, in 2026, Loudwire ranked it as the third greatest progressive power metal album of all time. Likewise, it has been often ranked as one of the greatest albums of the progressive and power metal genres.
