15th album from 2020 by Danish veterans ROYAL HUNT and an ambitious concept work inspired by Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. "Dystopia" serves as the opening chapter of a two-part story, showcasing the band's mature blend of Progressive Power Metal, symphonic arrangements and André Andersen's unmistakable neoclassical touch. The appearance of several guest vocalists adds further depth and theatrical character to the album.
One of the album's greatest strengths is its cinematic scope, featuring rich orchestration and a carefully constructed narrative without sacrificing memorable melodies. Rather than resting on their legacy, ROYAL HUNT once again prove their ability to craft sophisticated yet accessible music, delivering one of the most ambitious releases of their later career.
Recommended for fans of: VANDEN PLAS, SYMPHONY X, ELEGY, CONCEPTION, PAGAN'S MIND.
