Royal Hunt announce first tour dates for 2023

Royal Hunt are a great progressive power metal band. They came around to me the first time with the "Land of Broken Hearts" album and the title track of that particular record immediately got stuck in my mind. The "Fear" release came next and with "Cold City Lights" it proved to have another catchy hit song on it as well.

Royal Hunt are said to be Denmarks best kept secret.

These days the band cotinues to share uplifiting melodic gems withs us. Just check out the video below and you'll quickly get a idea of the band's sound. 

Like so many other bands they couldn't tour in recent years. 

During that downtime the band released two studio albums (Dystopia Part 1 & 2), a concept offering based on Ray Bradbury´s "Fahrenheit 451" and now plans to enhance their live set with some of their new material.

The great news is that these songs will see a live performance already soon.

Aug 25: Linköping Hell Year Rock Club, SE

Aug 26: Copenhagen Amager Bio, DK

Aug 27: Hamburg Logo Club, DE

Aug 30: Budapest Analog Music Hall, HU

Have Alia Tempora created a new mainstream?

Besides being blessed with so many metal music coming in it's also a pleasure to go beyond the borders of this music genre. Having started out with Pop music in my childhood days the love for refrains that stick in my mind stayed inside of me when I moved on to Metal music some years later.

Alia Tempora mix different elements into their sound for the open minded music fans.

Alia Tempora made me think back of those Pop music days when the brand new single "Fake It Till You Make It" found it's way into my inbox. The constant pumping beat forces the attention to constantly stay present. In the further duration time more and more synthetic elements are packed into the music. 

One by one they draw you more and more away of the melodic metal basis into a space of danceable music.Sometimes the beat changes into patters not always expected making it a even more exciting time to listen and explore the single release. Pay attention to the vocals - some metal flies in when you least expect it.

Make sure to add this single to your Spotify collection. The full album called "Prismatica" should see the light of day this summer 2023.
