Royal Hunt—the Danish neo-classical metal treasures led by the legendary Andre Andersen—toured Japan in support of their album *Cast in Stone*! This release features a complete recording of their April 17, 2018, Osaka performance, captured with top-tier, ultra-high sound quality that delivers impeccable power and a vivid sense of presence.

Experience a perfect recreation of this blissful live show, featuring rich, realistic vocals and instrumentation, along with superb stereo imaging. The atmosphere and the feeling of unity between the band and the audience are simply irresistible! Naturally, this superb release features the meticulous mastering characteristic of the Sylph label—it is guaranteed to get you fired up!

As a bonus, the set also includes the performance by the opening act, Veil of Obscurity!

The setlist strikes a perfect balance, featuring three tracks from the *Cast in Stone* album—"A Million Ways to Die," "The Last Soul Alive," and "Fistful of Misery"—alongside classic hits from their back catalog. D.C. Cooper is in top form, delivering excellent vocals and masterful crowd engagement; the performance is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the tight-knit energy that only a long-standing, stable lineup can achieve. There is even a humorous moment early in the show when D.C. mistakenly greets the crowd with "Good evening, Tokyo"—only to be playfully called out by André. After apologizing, he redeems himself by singing the end of the song with a loud "Good evening, Osaka!!!" You can also enjoy a somewhat spontaneous call-and-response segment during "Cold City Lights"!

The album is packed with highlights! Immerse yourself in a blissful 1 hour and 50 minutes of the "Royal Hunt World," featuring outstanding musicianship from seasoned veterans and a collection of truly rewarding songs. This is a must-listen for fans! Brought to you by the Sylph label with beautiful artwork and superb sound quality, this is the definitive release to relive the Osaka show—an essential memorial item for any fan!
