Royal Hunt

The name Royal Hunt appeared for the first time in 1989; a brainchild of André Andersen (main songwriter in the band) this outfit was created in order to combine basic values of Classic Rock with progressive, current musical elements. Today, after selling around 1.7 million albums and touring the world numerous times, the band’s still going strong… During their – mainly – festival appearances in 2018/2019 the band plays to thousands and thousands of exited fans throughout the world and finishes the trek with a triumphant performance at the “Heroes of Rock” festival in Russia in front of 100 000+ metalheads. Along came 2020 and yet again Royal Hunt keep intriguing fans with their adventurous endeavors… and the band´s 15th studio album “Dystopia” is no exception: a monumental concept opus – inspired by Ray Bradbury´s classic novel “Fahrenheit 451” – featuring symphonic, progressive yet hard hitting compositions full of impeccable performances, wrapped tightly into immediately accessible format and a lush, contemporary production. The addition of some extraordinary guest singers: Mats Leven (Candlemass, TSO, Skyblood), Mark Boals (Y.J. Malmsteen, Ring of Fire, Royal Hunt), Henrik Brockmann (Royal Hunt, Evil Masquerade, N´Tribe), Kenny Lubcke (Narita, Zoser Mez) and Alexandra Andersen (Royal Hunt, JSP).and their outstanding performances combined with vastly extended orchestrations creates a truly conceptual, cinematic feel throughout each and every track.
