Frontiers Records is pleased to celebrate Royal Hunt with the release of "2006 Live" a 2CD and DVD on December 8th 2006.

Royal Hunt is a major force in nowadays Melodic Metal scene. Behind the band are 8 studio albums, all are true masterpieces and the Hunters sold well over a million copies of them worldwide.

The band underwent a major transition in December '04 when guitarist Jacob Kjaer and bass player Steen Mogensen both terminated their tenure with Royal Hunt. Newly installed would be guitarist Marcus Jidell, a scene veteran of Jekyll & Hyde and The Ring and former drummer Kenneth Olsen. The bass position was filled in July 05 by House Of Shakira and Spike man Per Schelander.

A beautiful old theatre and some 1000+ enthusiastic fans created great atmosphere for this event, which lasted about 2 hours (the band played a wide selection of songs from all of their releases since 1991 and some tracks from the latest one "Paper Blood") and was captured by 7 cameras.

The DVD to be released in NTSC format region free and with Mix in 2.0 and 5.1 is a truly extraordinary package which also includes some backstage footage as well as interviews with band members and their road crew, while the 2cd set is the ultimate Royal Hunt package, an essential item for all the long time fans and a celebration for the years to come.
