Frontiers Music Srl celebrates Royal Hunt’s 25th anniversary with the release of a brand-new live 2CD/DVD, Blu-ray and MP3 set, entitled “2016” on May 12, 2017. Following a tradition established after two successful anniversary long form video releases – “1996” and “2006” – it is time for a third one: “2016”. Recorded with 9 HD cameras and top-notch audio equipment in Moscow's “Izvestiya Hall” during last year's world tour, the video shows 'all-fab-things-Royal': a high energy show in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd, an excellent setlist, a band in top form and a stunning stage production. Add a stellar audio recording and this package, celebrating Royal Hunt's 25th anniversary, is any hard rock fan's delight. In keyboardist André Andersen’s own words: “25 years later, Royal Hunt is still going strong. Who could have imagined that? Not me, that's for sure … a quarter of a century? Absolutely unreal. 13 studio albums, lots of special EPs and compilations, 5 live albums, literally countless shows/tours and now the 4th DVD release. Lots of ups and downs along the way, yet we're still around, still able to do what we love doing the most: making music. I always felt that if you do it from your heart, if you stay true to yourself and work hard, you'll be granted this sort of staying power … and yes, we're all extremely grateful to our fans for giving us an opportunity to create, to improve and to continue our musical journey. So, once again, push that play button, enjoy this video and rest assured, the best is yet to come!"
