Royal Hunt: Simply a must have for any symfo/prog/power fan!!

In the middle age and forward royal hunt was common as far as I know. Now many hundred years later the sound of royal hunt again arise! But this royal hunt is conducted by the band Royal Hunt and the new album is entitled Dystopia – Part 2 out October 26th.

Royal Hunt will release their new studio album via King Records (Japan/SE Asia) and via NorthPoint Productions (EU/N & S America). The second and final part of the concept will again feature guest performers: Mats Leven (TSO, Skyblood, Vandenberg), Mark Boals (Y.J. Malmsteen, Ring of Fire, Royal Hunt), Henrik Brockman (Royal Hunt, Evil Masquerade, N ́Tribe), Kenny Lubcke (Narita, Zoser Mez) and Alexandra Andersen (Royal Hunt, JSP). Dystopia – Part 2 will be released in following formats: regular CD, various Deluxe editions/bundles and a gatefold, heavy vinyl double LP (availability date pending).

Royal Hunt keep expanding their trademark sound and, as the story which inspired the project – Ray Bradbury ́s classic novel Fahrenheit 451 – gets more intense towards the end, the music turns into more dynamic, heavier direction. Once again, the guest singers add even more dramatic contrasts to an already cinematic yet solidly rocking soundscape. Simply a must have for any symfo/prog/power fan out there!

Message from the band, «Thinking back to the release date of the Part 1 back in 2020 makes you realize what a crazy time we all went through just during the last two years: who could have imagined that our Dystopia – project would reflect the harsh reality in such detail? And the madness is still ongoing. In any case, Dystopia – Part 2 is even more relevant today than ever: we followed the general concept yet filled it up with images of current events in order to make it resonate with every person, everybody living through 2020 to 2022 and watching insanity to unfold in real time».
