Artist: ROYAL HUNT
Album: A LIFE TO DIE FOR LTD. EDIT. (CD+DVD DIGI)

Release date: 2013
Media type: CD

“A Life to Die For” is the 12th ROYAL HUNT studio album and follows the release of “Show Me How To Live” and album which marked the return in the line up of US singer DC Cooper. He is the trademark vocalist of the two most relevant albums from the Danish Progressive Metal combo: “Moving Target” and “Paradox” which literally catapulted the band in the Heaven of Hard Rock by the end of the 90’s. “A Life to Die For” is a concept album not in the lyrical sense but musically, which sees the band expand their musical boundaries and bring their symphonic and grandiose musical element to the max employing a large number of classical/orchestra players in the studio as well as a large choir !

The keyboards are as usual very prominent and played with mastery by Andre Andersen and while DC Cooper’s vocals are simply amazing. The song writing and performances are top notch. In short “A Life to Die For” is another trademark release from Royal Hunt and truly an essential addition to any fan of Progressive Metal.

The album comes with a bonus DVD shot during the band’s last tour. Plenty of interviews and live music is included!
