Info:
Royal Hunt is a progressive metal band based in Denmark, founded in 1989 by keyboardist Andre Andersen. The band is known for creating melodic music with a progressive and symphonic flair. They experienced huge success during the mid-90s with vocalist D.C. Cooper on their classic albums Moving Target and Paradox mainly in Japan and Europe. They have experienced several lineup changes throughout their history, in 2007 they acquired singer Mark Boals, who replaced former vocalist John West. In 2011 after numerous requests from fans and promoters worldwide they decided to reunite with their former vocalist D. C. Cooper for a special tour, covering the first four albums of the band. They recorded a new album entitled Show Me How to Live featuring the returning D.C. Cooper as their permanent vocalist moving forward.Cooper also provided vocals for the 2013 album, A Life to Die For, and again provides vocals on the to-be-released Devil's Dozen. Royal Hunt have sold more than 1 million albums worldwide.According to royalhunt.com (the band's official website) the band will be performing a 90-minutes set (incl. the entire Paradox album) at ProgPower USA in Atlanta, GA on 12 September 2015.It was revealed in April 2015 that Royal Hunt would be part of the Rockingham lineup at Nottingham's Rock City 23rd - 25th October.

Album:
Frontiers Music Srl will release ROYAL HUNT's new live album, titled "Cargo", on March 18.Following the release of their latest studio album, "Devil's Dozen", ROYAL HUNT participated in three widely known festivals around the globe in the fall of 2015: ProgPower USA, Loud Park (Japan) and Rockingham (U.K.). They performed their energetic brand of symphonic/progressive yet highly melodic and instantly accessible "royal rock" for thousands of appreciative fans.While ROYAL HUNT's next tour — set to the spring of 2016 — is being announced, the band found the time to gather in the studio and pick out the best performances recorded during their festival trek: an hour and a half of ROYAL HUNT's trademark sonic assault, skillfully captured on tape.Why live album and why now? "Well, mostly because we haven't released any live recordings for roughly ten years or so," says keyboard maestro and principal songwriter André Andersen. "'2006' was great and many fans consider it to be our best (some will pick '1996' or 'Closing The Chapter' as their favorite) but anyway — it's been awhile, so we assumed that it might be interesting for you to check out our 'new swing' at this live set. Just think about it: last time we recorded 'Paradox' live was almost 20 years ago! Add a few new songs, the excitement of the festival performance, a couple of new faces to the lineup and — all of a sudden — things are sounding quite a bit different. We'd say it sounds fresh but let's see what your opinion on this matter will be.""Cargo" includes a complete rendition of ROYAL HUNT's signature concept album "Paradox".ROYAL HUNT has released 13 studio albums and the band's name stands for quality symphonic/progressive metal.
