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).
