As you might have notice this blog plays around the progressive word, The main objective is to help on the promotion of metal and trying to change the perspective metal=noise.
However, Expect the unexpected. Mainly focussed on progressive metal or rock, but easily going to catch some good stuff to bands with only some progressive elements. And sometimes also going totally out of the progressive genre and of metal. Help you discovering what has been done of value around the world in my opinion.
This was another project where DC Cooper was in between appearances in Royal Hunt, this album Walk the Earth from 2007 is one of the albums, I leave you my favourite Track with the same name, Walk The earth is a song about finding our place on this Earth
After my last Post, some might ask what DC Cooper did out of Royal Hunt? so the answer is an amazing solo album, where for instance he has also David Readman, Ex-Adagio, Pink Cream 69 with him as back vocals.
All The album is so much a must hear, I decide to leave you my favourite ones, one that I felt the need to upload it to Youtube, and two more of my recent addictions.
Starting with Three Generations, the song is about having an absent/bad father and being eager to not be like him, but realising we ended just like him
Then to Take Me In, a romantic song a bit about forgiveness
This one is heavy emotionally, Forgive Me, where the one who sings it apologizes for something he must have made
After quitting in 1997 a lot of fans never ceases to ask for the return of North American DC Cooper to the band
in 2011, after a first appearance live with the band, DC returned to the band to a new official album "Show me How to Live". Now we can hear, DC Cooper is more mature as the sound of the band, more than 10 years passed.
In 2013 another Album "A Life to Die For", here I leave you Signs of Yesterday my favourite track from this album, for me the album is a bit weaker than the 2011 one, but still pretty good:
In 2015, Royal Hunt started a Crowdfunding to get the funds to make a new album, Devil's Dozen, Here I leave you the song, Until the day, I think some of you might still enjoy the sound, but for me is not so pleasurable has other albums it lacks some originality, the major point to me is still DC Cooper's voice. The things is even the less good works of Royal Hunt are still so much better than several mainstream albums of most bands
In 1995 album Moving Target, Royal Hunt not only embraces completely the progressive metal in its splendour as DC Cooper enters the band, the difference is immense, DC is for me one of the best metal vocalists, clean with good range voice. With DC Cooper enters the band also some need to embrace higher social worries.
DC Cooper
In Moving Target, the Single taken is called Last goodbye, Checking the part Down to the Needle Park on lyrics, is easy to understand the music is about a drug addicted.
In 1997, Royal Hunt Release my favourite album so far, Paradox, the one I felt the urge to Buy it as soon as i Found it, they touch strong thematics like religious scepticism, anguish, the markings of time and how a dependence of someone just to be able to live is too strong. The song I will leave you is Called Message to god, here the edited version of the official video
cross this Post and the last one and check the difference in the era with or without DC Cooper
