Biography

ROYAL HUNT recently released their new - 11th - studio album: “Show Me How To Live”. The band once more joined forces with former lead singer DC COOPER to continue the magic of Royal Hunt. To those who are discovering and re-discovering the band, here are the members:

ANDRE ANDERSEN - was born on December 16th in Moscow, Russia. He studied piano since he was 5. He is a mix of Danish and Georgian “royal” blood and is a musical genius who can virtually play any instrument, compose, write lyrics and produce all at the same time. At the age of 13 Andre discovered a different genre of music aside from classical, by accidentally getting his hands on a copy of Deep Purple’s “In Rock”. From that point on, he started to combine his classical chops with the rock form in every piece of music he wrote. Andre speaks of Mozart and Paganini’s work as his biggest inspiration next to people like Rick Wakeman and Jon Lord, who invented the “rock approach” to the keyboards. His musical influences are mainly the classics and the rock/hard rock scene that he studied and grew up with. Lyrics come easy to a guy who can read 2 to 3 books a week. In 1984 he moved to Denmark. After awhile he built his own working place - Mirand Studio (now expanded and removed to a recently established NorthPoint Productions).

    For me John West is the best vocalist ever. It's such a shame that he left Royal Hunt since for me they were a perfect match (The Mission happens to be my favourite album of all time). Still it's good that he now sings in other bands like Mythodea and Antarctica.

    Ok, John West is a gret singer, but, in my opinion, his voice isn't for Royal Hunt, not for the Royal Hunt i hear since my teenager.

    "DC recorded two very successful albums with the band ("Moving Target" and "Paradox") before parting ways for personal reasons. In the beginning of 2011 Andre and DC got in touch once more to see if they could cooperate again, which resulted in a small reunion tour. It was a great success and consequently led to the mutual decision of DC rejoining the band." This is so great news

    Technically DC Cooper > John West. He is also more experienced.

    This band is so fucking underrated. Moving Target is my top album, but most of them are awesome

    ZigaMan1984, не совсем кавер, я бы сказал, позаимствовали мотивы двух песен: "Ирландия, Ольстер" для "Autograph" и "Монолог" для "Epilogue". Названия песен, а также происхождение Андре не дает усомниться в том, что так и есть :-)

    "Message to God" is my favorite. Cooper is the best! I saw him on a plane yesterday - greatest man ever!

    Worst album covers of all time. They are so bad I actually didn't give this band a chance for years because they looked like a teenage garage act. Funny, but true. Royal Hunt - hire a decent graphic designer so more people can listen to your awesomeness!

    Couldn't have believed they'd find that old great sound again. André's songs + DC's vocals = magic!

    Фхх, как о такой прекрасной группе можно отзываться нецензурными словами, пусть даже и положительно:D
