Our next video is all about Andreas: a man who walked 800 km from an unidentified location somewhere in yet-to-be-discovered part of Sweden to Copenhagen only to share his musical vision with us and – in due time – with all of you. This is a story of a man who drinks vodka for breakfast, eats pieces of metal for dinner (by the way, where´s Allan´s ride cymbal?!!!), creates elaborate bass lines while reading his daily newspaper and who´s personality (well-known as highly unpredictable and extremely violent) can ONLY be controlled by the use of gardening equipment. Intrigued? Watch our second episode of “Studio Diary”.

Let us introduce you to a very bizarre world of Allan Sørensen – a quick look into the process of recording drums for the new Royal Hunt album. Yes, this short yet breathtaking video shows it all: the drama, the action, the ups and downs in the life of a rock star, broken hopes and shattered dreams but in the end – a tremendous victory… a victory of human spirit and mind! Against all odds – armed with only a pair of thin wooden sticks, bits of plastic and chunks of metal – he raises the bar for what we (ordinary humans) call MUSIC. With this extraordinary video clip (and we´re not shy to call it a cinematic masterpiece) we´d like to start our new and vastly improved “Studio Diary”!

Royal Hunt moved into one of the theatres in Copenhagen in order to complete the pre-production for their upcoming album. The band is planning to work there for a couple of weeks on their new songs together with a group of classical players.

We have completed all songwriting for our new album; rehearsals/preproduction will begin in a couple of weeks. Material can be described as a continuation of our previous release yet some details has been added in both songwriting and production departments: in order to upgrade our trademark sound we´re planning to employ a large number of classical/orchestra players in the studio as well as a large choir.

The album is expected to be released in November this year through Marquee/Avalon (Japan & SE Asia) and Frontiers (Europe & N. America).

Japanese press on “20th Anniversary – Special Edition” and the bands history.

Royal Hunt have extended their contracts with Frontiers Records and Marquee/Avalon in order to include a brand new studio album which is expected to be released in October/November this year.

Happy New Year everybody!

It seems like we´ll have quite a bit of fun in 2013:
“20^th Anniversary Special Edition” package has been received so well that we´re in talks right now about releasing it as a gorgeous looking triple vinyl – with bonuses!
A new album? Indeed and this time we´ll deliver something that we´ve never done before – a third decade of RH´s evolution should start with a bang!And what about touring? Absolutely! We´ve already started discussing it with our promoters so expect to get rocked royally as soon as all the dates will be sorted out – we´ll keep you posted.

Once again: Happy New Year, dear friends, see you all soon!

We´d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and everything you`ve ever wanted under that christmas tree… wrapped up nicely

Cheers!
