Va falloir penser à rattraper cette erreur!

Dixième album des Danois qui sortira chez Scarlet, avec des influences 70's plus marquées

Denmark-based hard rock/progressive metal band ROYAL HUNT has signed a
deal with Scarlet Records for the European release of its new album,
"X".

ROYAL HUNT decided to revisit its roots and incorporate some of the
musical values of the '70s into its songwriting as well as — in order to
reinforce that particular atmosphere — employing mostly "retro" means of
production (recording in analog format exclusively being one of them)
for its tenth studio album. The music has been described as "an
interesting mix of what's been tagged as classic rock nowadays
(established by KANSAS, GENESIS, ELP's earlier works and DEEP PURPLE,
URIAH HEEP's classics from the same era) and ROYAL HUNT's trademark
composition/delivery."

Commented keyboardist/main composer André Andersen: "This album came out
of our love for the '70s music (tagged as classic rock nowadays) — from
KANSAS, GENESIS and ELP to URIAH HEEP and DEEP PURPLE — music which
was/is very adventurous while just a tad naïve at the same time (as some
might say). We all are notoriously resistant to categorize it in any
way, form or shape, but (if hard-pressed) would go as far as saying that
it's definitely much more hard rock than metal and if by 'progressive,'
you might mean some odd time signatures here and there as well as random
key changes — sure, there're tons of them here… as well as really basic,
simple stuff — so go figure."

"X" track listing:

01. Episode X (Arrival)
02. End of the Line
03. King for a Day
04. The Well
05. Army of Slaves
06. Shadowman
07. Back to Square One
08. Blood Red Stars
09. The Last Leaf
10. Falling Down
11. Episode X (Departure)

"X" will be released in Europe in June 2010. The CD came out in Japan
and Southeast Asia on January 21 via Marquee/Avalon Records.

ROYAL HUNT last year parted ways with bassist Per Schelander and
replaced him with Andreas Passmark (NARNIA, ROB ROCK, E-TYPE).

Je suis bien curieux de voir comment il vont caser le 70's dans leur musique quand même bien ancrée 80's/90's ....
Reste qu'ils m'ont rarement déçus ... même si sur le dernier j'ai eu un peu de mal avant d'accepter Mark Boals (que j'aime pourtant assez avec le Malm').

Et leur chanteur actuel, c'est toujours Mark Boals ??

Oui ! j'étais sceptique au départ .... mais en m'ayant repassé le dernier je trouve que c'est un tres bon choix au final.

un nouveau titre sur le myspace http://www.myspace.com/royalhuntmusic

Pour les influences 70's, à part un peu dans certaines parties claviers, on repassera. ça sent bon les 80's surtout.

Sinon, je me suis arrêté à The Watchers, ils donnent quoi "Eye Witness" et "Paper Blood" ?

Même avis!

Pour les précédents, tu peux regarder dans ce topic justement
