"By the time I got through the third track,I could tell this CD just wasn't for me.'Land Of...' was apparently their debut effort.I can honestly say there is some solid playing as well as decent melody intact.Some of the cuts here I thought were 'okay' are "Age Gone Wild","Kingdom Dark" and "Easy Rider".Basically just straight ahead rock and roll(or maybe indie pop?)without much to offer."
Pretty dam GOOD!!!

"This is the first RH album and it is a great debut which they would go on to surpass on later releases. However as a beginning this is great melodic metal with a neo-classical feel. nice melodic choruses invade most songs which will have you raising your voice in no time. There are two neo-classical instrumental pieces which also sound great. I bought the Cd in a used shop for £3 in London and unfortunately it is the only RH Cd I've got. but I do know that they became way better after this with a world class vocalist called DC Cooper. If you find it cheap somewhere get it!!!!"
A good start.

"Royal Hunt has evolved over the years. The band's original vocalist, Henrik Brockmann, sounded like your typical metal guy with a foreign accent. It's amazing how much better Paradox is."
