ROYAL HUNT Drummer Forced To Sit Out European Tour

March 5, 2008

Drummer Allan Sorensen of the Denmark-based hard rockers ROYAL HUNT will be forced to sit out the band's upcoming tour (starting in May) due to "family obligations." The group is already talking to several possible candidates to fill in for the upcoming trek, but if there are any experienced drummers out there interested in the gig, mail your CV to [email protected] (and no MP3 files, please — only links to your site or MySpace page). Rehearsals will start mid-April in Stockholm or Copenhagen.

ROYAL HUNT's entire back catalogue will be re-released this spring. All albums ("Land of Broken Hearts", "Clown in the Mirror", "Moving Target", "1996", "Paradox", "Closing the Chapter", "Fear", "The Mission", "Eyewitness", "Paper Blood") have been re-mastered by André Andersen and Jan Eliasson at Audio Planet Mastering and will include bonus tracks (except for the live recordings).

"Collision Course - Paradox II", the new album from ROYAL HUNT, is scheduled for release on March 14 via the following companies: Frontiers Records (Europe),Marquee/Avalon (Japan and Southeast Asia),Magna Carta (North America),CD Maximum (Russia and C.I.S). The CD, which is said to be the conceptual follow-up to the 1997 release "Paradox", marks the recorded debut with the band of new vocalist Mark Boals, who has previously played with YNGWIE MALMSTEEN'S RISING FORCE, BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB and RING OF FIRE, among others. Guest singers on the album include Doogie White (RAINBOW, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN),Ian Parry (ELEGY, CONSORTIUM PROJECT),Kenny Lubcke (NARITA) and Henrik Brockmann (ex-ROYAL HUNT, EVIL MASQUERADE).
