six years ago, Royal Hunt briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “River Of Pain”. Now signed to Royal Hunt’s Savoy Records, the title track from second album “Paradox” leads Royal Hunt’s back-to-school campaign. Royal Hunt was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Royal Hunt and Paradox together. Great Rock: Guitar Virtuoso right here!
I find myself hearing bits of River Of Pain here and there throughout my waking hours. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. In Message To God the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Long Way Home is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Time Will Tell is probably one of Royal Hunt’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Silent Scream is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. I’ve found myself listening to It’s Over back to back and back many times. Tearing Down The World is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. I have all of Royal Hunt’s tracks and Message To God is probably the most his introspective effort. Time Will Tell is a fine track on any terms. Silent Scream defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Martial Arts is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. All of songs on Paradox and have something to say letting alone Restless.
