'Message to God' from the album 'Fear,' is an epic and symphonic rock masterpiece, with its complex guitar sequences and Cooper's soaring vocals amplifying its emotional weight.
Royal Hunt has established itself as a touring powerhouse and continues to play sold-out shows worldwide. One of their most notable concerts was at the ProgPower festival in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006. The concert included many of their best songs, and the band's live performance was described as electrifying, with the stage lighting and sound effects adding to the already mesmerizing performance.
Critics of Royal Hunt's music often cite the band's tendency to indulge in lengthy and complex song compositions as one of its weaknesses. However, for the avid listener of progressive metal, this only adds to the appeal of the music, giving it depth that few other bands can match.
