ROYAL HUNT: Singer MATS LEVÉN To Replace MARK BOALS On Upcoming Live Shows

July 3, 2008

Denmark-based hard rockers ROYAL HUNT have issued the following update:

"Mark Boals [vocals] won't be able to participate in ROYAL HUNT shows on July 16th (in Sønderborg, Denmark with ALICE COOPER),August 6th and August 10th (in Copenhagen and Odense, Denmark with DEEP PURPLE) due to his previously arranged commitments. In order to not disappoint our fans (and promoters responsible for these shows) the band decided to go ahead and play above mentioned dates with some invaluable help from our dear friend — Mats Levén (KRUX, ex-THERION, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN)."

Fan-flimed video footage of ROYAL HUNT performing live on their recent European tour can be viewed below.

ROYAL HUNT's latest album, "Collision Course - Paradox II", was released in March. 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).

"The Mission" live on May 16, 2008 at Biebob in Vosselaar, Belgium:
