Songwriting for “Dystopia. Part 2” is completed, tells Andre Andersen on his Facebook page:
“Dear friends,
Songwriting for “Dystopia. Part 2” has been completed: as the story unfolds, the material´s got a bit more aggressive yet fairly dynamic, leaving space for a few experiments here and there. Obviously, as the plot includes a couple of new characters, the list of special guests should be quite interesting as well.
Stay tuned, we´ll keep you posted.”
A concept studio album “Dystopia – Part I” is available on ALL digital platforms ( as MP3, FLAC), as a regular CD (jewel case), and a deluxe edition (2 CD).
The re-mastered version of ROYAL HUNT’s debut album – ”Land Of Broken Hearts” will be released on the 29th of October 2021 via NorthPoint Productions. It includes an extended booklet with rare pictures, “the making of” – story written by André Andersen and 5 bonus tracks. “Land of Broken Hearts” has previously been reissued on vinyl (Night of the Vinyl Dead) CD, and all digital platforms (NorthPoint Productions) in 2018.
Message from the band:
“Dear friends,
We´ve been totally overwhelmed by the amount of requests reg. “Land of Broken Hearts” – re-issue of 2018 – which was then quickly sold out mostly at the stage of pre-orders.
We didn’t expect that much interest in our older albums – BUT – if that´s the case – we might try to continue re-issuing those albums in the same fashion: with extended booklets, bonus tracks and more inside info on each release.
While going through the archives in search of bonus material in 2018, some raw video footage was found which was shot all the way back in 1992 but never used: the band performing “Age Gone Wild” from their debut. The film has been restored/edited and finally published, giving all ROYAL HUNT fans a unique opportunity to re-discover this once lost and now – fortunately – newly found gem:
ROYAL HUNT have updated their YouTube channel with a new video ‘River of Pain’ taken from Live DVD “2016”, watch it below.
Their recent album “Dystopia” is available on ALL digital platforms (as MP3, FLAC), and as a regular CD (jewel case), various deluxe editions / bundles and a double heavy vinyl LP at royalhunt.com
ROYAL HUNT keep intriguing fans with their adventurous endeavors and the band´s 15th studio album is no exception: a monumental concept opus featuring symphonic, progressive yet hard hitting compositions full of impeccable performances, wrapped tightly into immediately accessible format and a lush, contemporary production.
The addition of some extraordinary guest singers and their outstanding performances combined with vastly extended orchestrations creates a truly conceptual, cinematic feel throughout each and every track.

On October 7th, 2019 ROYAL HUNT were offered a gig (opening for Uriah Heep) in their hometown Copenhagen (with a very short notice), so for obvious logistical reasons DC Cooper couldn´t join the band on that particular day. Luckily, Kenny Lubcke was able to step in at the last minute and save the day.
