Royal Hunt unveiled the album artwork and track listing for the band's upcoming album "A Life To Die For." The ninth full length album will be released on December 3rd via Frontiers Records. The artwork (shown below) was created by Kai Brockschmidt.

The track listing for the album is:

1. Hell Comes Down From Heaven
2. A Bullet's Tale
3. Running Out of Tears
3. On Minute Left to Live
4. Sign Of Yesterday
5. Won't Truet, Won't Fear, Won't Beg
6. A Life to Die For

"A Life to Die for" will be available in the following formats: Digipack CD + DVD (containing live footage from the band´s last year tour, tour documentary and interviews), Regular CD and a gatefold 180 gr. vinyl LP.

Royal Hunt's 13th studio album will be called Devil's Dozen, it has been revealed. The power progressive metallers have also unveiled the cover that will grace the album. According to them, the record stays true to the original Royal Hunt sound: "with imaginative instrumentation, intricate arrangements, soaring vocals and catchy, massive choruses. Yet the addition of classical musicians/instruments and contemporary, modern day production elements twist the outcome into a unique sonic palette."

Keyboardist/guitarist André Andersen said: "We're very pleased to be able to present our new, thirteenth studio album. While staying on course with all traditional Royal Hunt's musical values this one contains quite a bit of variety - from an up-tempo, double kick driven 'May You Never (Walk Alone)' to the bluesy 'Heart On A Platter' and probably our best ballad to date - 'Until The Day'. Counting in Royal Hunt's usual attention to details - playing wise as well as production wise - I'm sure that any fan of symphonic/melodic yet hard rocking music will be pleased with our latest offering."

Tracklisting:

CD1 - The Mission, Half Past Loneliness, The Awakening, River Of Pain, Tearing Down The World, Message To God, Long Way Home

CD2 - Time Will Tell, Silent Scream, It’s Over, May You Never (Walk Alone), A Life To Die For

Frontiers Music Srl will release ROYAL HUNT's new live album, titled "Cargo", on March 18.

Following the release of their latest studio album, "Devil's Dozen", ROYAL HUNT participated in three widely known festivals around the globe in the fall of 2015: ProgPower USA, Loud Park (Japan) and Rockingham (U.K.). They performed their energetic brand of symphonic/progressive yet highly melodic and instantly accessible "royal rock" for thousands of appreciative fans.

While ROYAL HUNT's next tour — set to the spring of 2016 — is being announced, the band found the time to gather in the studio and pick out the best performances recorded during their festival trek: an hour and a half of ROYAL HUNT's trademark sonic assault, skillfully captured on tape.

Why live album and why now? "Well, mostly because we haven't released any live recordings for roughly ten years or so," says keyboard maestro and principal songwriter André Andersen. "'2006' was great and many fans consider it to be our best (some will pick '1996' or 'Closing The Chapter' as their favorite) but anyway — it's been awhile, so we assumed that it might be interesting for you to check out our 'new swing' at this live set. Just think about it: last time we recorded 'Paradox' live was almost 20 years ago! Add a few new songs, the excitement of the festival performance, a couple of new faces to the lineup and — all of a sudden — things are sounding quite a bit different. We'd say it sounds fresh but let's see what your opinion on this matter will be."

"Cargo" includes a complete rendition of ROYAL HUNT's signature concept album "Paradox".

Following the tradition after two successful DVD releases – 1996 and 2006 – it´s time for Royal Hunt to release a third one: 2016. Recorded with nine HD cameras and top-notch audio equipment in Moscow's Izvestiya Hall during the band's world tour last year, the video shows “all-fab-things-Royal”: a high energy show in front of the enthusiastic crowd, excellent set list, the band in top form and a stunning stage production… add a stellar audio and this package, celebrating Royal Hunt´s 25th Anniversary, is any hard rock fan's delight.

In celebration of the date a very special edition of 2016 is being offered - Deluxe Limited Edition Mediabook - a 28-page book including 2 CDs and 1 DVD (or Blu-Ray Disc) + 1 extra DVD with video updates and more extras.
