Royal Hunt has released the official lyric video for their new single “Ride into the Sunset”, a cinematic and emotionally charged track taken from the band’s recently released EP “Behind the Curtain”. Originally written as the intended finale for Dystopia, Pt. 2, the song follows a disillusioned character yearning to break free and disappear beyond the horizon, echoing the dramatic closures of classic Western tales. After nearly two years on the shelf, “Ride into the Sunset” now claims its rightful spotlight through a visually striking lyric video that amplifies its themes of escape, resolve and reflection.

Progressive metal icons ROYAL HUNT are thrilled to announce that legendary vocalist Mark Boals (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring of Fire) and masterful drummer Daniel Rasch Nielsen (Statement) will be joining them for two exclusive festival appearances this summer. The band is set to perform at Leyendas Del Rock in Spain on August 7th and at Jailbreak Festival in Denmark on August 17th.

Due to various reasons, long-time members DC Cooper and Andreas Habo Johansson will not be able to join the band for these performances. While their presence will be missed, Royal Hunt is excited to bring a fresh dynamic to the stage with Boals and Nielsen.

Royal Hunt expresses enthusiasm about the upcoming shows:

“As we´re preparing for our festival appearances (red.Layendas Del Rock (ES) on August 7th and Jailbreak Festival (DK) on August 17th) we´d like to inform you that both DC Cooper and Andreas Habo Johansson won´t be joining us for various reasons (don´t worry, nothing dramatic, just some scheduling  mismatch).

So – in order to fulfill our obligations (and unable to resist the temptation of doing a bit of rocking at both of these great events) – we invited our dear friend Mark Boals to join us and – fortunately – he agreed. Habo´s throne will be occupied by Daniel Rasch Nielsen and he did an outstanding job on our very first rehearsal already”

Festival appearances 2024:

– **Leyendas Del Rock Festival** — Villena, Spain — August 7, 2024
– **Jailbreak Festival** — Copenhagen, Denmark — August 17, 2024

Fans can expect a setlist featuring Royal Hunt classics along with some surprises, delivered with the passion and intensity that has defined the band for decades.

ROYAL HUNT have announced the EDM release of one of their most popular songs ‘Half Past Loneliness’, coming out on the New Year’s Eve.

Message from the band: 

“Hey all, New Year’s Eve is just around the corner– party time, anyone?

Say no more as this time we – quite unexpectedly – can contribute to your dancing & dining pleasures with an EDM remix.

A DJ suggested to give this particular tune a “makeover” and we found his version to be quite amusing, so we just had to share it with you (considering we´re in the middle of the holiday season).

So dust off these dancing shoes and turn your boom box up to 11 – RH is in da house 🙂
Happy New Year, everyone!

Find the song on ALL DSPs. “
