The name Royal Hunt appeared for the first time in 1989; a brainchild of André Andersen (main songwriter in the band) this outfit was created in order to combine basic values of Classic Rock with progressive, current musical elements. Today, after selling around 1.8 million albums and touring the world numerous times, the band is still going strong. ►Band André Andersen – keyboards, DC Cooper – vocals, Andreas Passmark – bass, Jonas Larsen – guitars, Andreas HABO Johansson – drums ► Connect with ROYAL HUNT: Spotify YouTube iTunes Instagram Facebook Twitter ►Lyrics: A day like this you can´t erase, you can´t dismiss a Judas kiss Got caught off-guard: betrayed and permanently scarred, it hit so hard May the bridge you burn behind you kindly light your way May your sin remain and let you live another day while you´re fading away Here we are: on the edge, ready to slide down this slippery ledge Go ahead, play your part: leave me alone with my pain – this thorn in my heart A pointless war, no clue on what you´re fighting for but keeping score I guess you´ve won. As everything´s been said and done – alright, I´m gone May the bridge you burn behind you kindly light your way May your sin remain and let you live another day Here we are: on the edge, ready to slide down this slippery ledge Go ahead, play your part: twisting this thorn in my heart Every smile, every tear - fake as they come – are concealing a sneer Go ahead, play your part, leave me alone with my pain – this thorn in my heart The time has come to figure out which side you´re on: it´s now or never I´ll leave behind this silent crowd forever ► Royal Hunt would like to thank: Morten Choi - camera, Per Abeltrup/Amager Bio crew - premises Anton Prosvirin – AI generation and video editing Jacob Sørensen - lights Peter Brander - sound engeneer Kim Khan - sound engeneer Per Onink – “All Things Live“ Michael Raitzin - management Christian Nørgaard - photography Kenny Lubcke - backing vocals Alexandra Andersen - production management #ProgressiveMetal #PowerMetal #NeoclassicalMetal #DystopiaPart2 #DystopiaPart1 #metal #rock #melodicrock #rockmusic #heavymetal #cd #lp #vinyl #symphonicmetal #metalband #rockband #neoclassicalmetal #hardrock #headbangers #progressivemetalalbum #metalworld #heavymetalmusic #cdcollector ##andreandersen #dccooper #andreaspassmark #jonaslarsen #andreashabojohansson #kennylubke #alexandrasandersen #metalhead #rockfan #metalalbum #metalmatters #ロイヤルハント #royalhunt
