ROYAL HUNT - New Song Streaming Online
April 18, 2010, 14 years ago
Legendary Danish hard rock/prog metal band ROYAL HUNT will be releasing their new album, X, in June via their new deal with Scarlet Records. The band are streaming the new song, 'Shadowman' on their official MySpace page.
After selling 1.5 million albums and touring the world numerous times, Royal Hunt’s still going strong, with André Andersen, keyboardist and main composer since day one, heading back to the roots of rock with a brand new, astonishing '70s-inspired album.
Andersen comments: “This album came out of our love for the 70s music (tagged as classic rock nowadays) – from KANSAS, GENESIS and ELP to URIAH HEEP and DEEP PURPLE - music which was/is very adventurous while just a tad naïve at the same time (as some might say). We all are notoriously resistant to categorize it in any way, form or shape, but (if hard pressed) would go as far as saying that it’s definitely much more hard rock than metal and if by ‘progressive’ you might mean some odd time signatures here and there as well as random key changes – sure, there’re tons of them here... as well as really basic, simple stuff – so go figure.”
X was released in Japan via Marquee/Avalon Records on January 21st.
