Επανακυκλοφόρησε το ντεμπούτο των Royal Hunt (videos)

Στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα σχηματίσθηκαν στην Κοπεγχάγη οι Royal Hunt. Ο André Andersen εμπνεύστηκε το όνομα της μπάντας από έναν πίνακα ζωγραφικής που είχε δει σε κάποιο μουσείο. Τρία χρόνια αργότερα κυκλοφόρησε το ντεμπούτο τους υπό τον τίτλο "Land of Broken Hearts". Προ ημερών επανακυκλοφόρησε με τέσσερα bonus tracks κι άλλα "καλούδια"...

It includes an extended booklet with rare pictures, “the making of” - story written by André Andersen, 4 bonus tracks and one previously unreleased song (recently restored/re-recorded). “Land of Broken Hearts” has previously been released on vinyl by NIGHT of the VINYL DEAD recs SRHC.

While going through the archives in search of bonus material, some raw video footage was found which was shot all the way back in 1992 but never used: the band performing “Age Gone Wild” from their debut. Now the film has been restored/edited and finally published, giving all Royal Hunt fans a unique opportunity to re-discover this once lost and now -fortunately- newly found gem.»
