ROYAL HUNT Announce Requirements For New Vocalist
March 20, 2007, 17 years ago
Following the weekend announcement of the departure of John West from the ranks of ROYAL HUNT, band founder Andre Andersen has sent out this message:
"Royal Hunt is looking for a new lead singer. The desired candidate shall have the following qualifications:1. Energetic front man with an adequate image.
2. Technically able to perform any of the songs from RH´s back catalogue.
3. Willing to tour and is comfortable in the studio environment.
Please send your CV, recent photo(s) and a CD with 2 or 3 tracks (any additional live video footage is a plus) to: NorthPoint Productions, Att. “sng search”, Bagsvaerdvej 199 B, 2880 Bagsvaerd, Denmark."
Royal Hunt previously issued the following in regards to their split with West: "Royal Hunt and John West have decided that at this time (after numerous albums and concert tours) they are no longer able to contribute creatively to each other’s future musical development. It’s been a hell of a ride, but both parties feel like it is about time to move on and explore different musical paths - therefore, they mutually agreed to part ways as of March 16th, 2007 .
“We’re not ruling out possible future collaborations for a joint venture or a side project” – André [Andersen, keyboardist] and John state - “but it won’t be under the RH moniker.”John had joined Royal Hunt in 1999 during the recording of the Fear album and he worked with the band until our latest release, the live CD/DVD Royal Hunt 2006. We’d like to express our gratitude to John for a great eight year run and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
