Frontiers Music Srl will release Royal Hunt's new live album, titled Cargo on March 18th. The power metallers haven't released a live album in a few years but after releasing their latest album XIII - Devil's Dozen last year, they played in three widely known festivals around the globe in the fall of 2015: ProgPower USA, Loud Park Japan and Rockingham UK. The band found the time to gather in the studio and pick out the best performances recorded during their festival trek: an hour and a half of Royal Hunt's trademark sonic assault, skillfully captured on tape.

Keyboard maestro and principal songwriter André Andersen explains why now: "Well, mostly because we haven't released any live recordings for - roughly - 10 years or so. 2006 was great and many fans consider it to be our best (some will pick 1996 or Closing The Chapter as their favourite) but anyway - it's been a while, so we assumed that it might be interesting for you to check out our 'new swing' at this live set. Just think about it: last time we recorded Paradox live was almost 20 years ago! Add a few new songs, the excitement of the festival performance, a couple of new faces to the line-up and - all of a sudden - things are sounding quite a bit different. We'd say it sounds fresh but let's see what's your opinion on this matter will be."
