Royal Hunt is a progressive metal band based in Denmark, founded in 1989 by keyboardist Andre Andersen. The band is known for creating melodic music with a progressive and symphonic flair. They made a huge success during mid-90s with vocalist D.C. Cooper on their classic albums Moving Target and Paradox mainly in Japan and Europe. They have experienced several lineup changes throughout their history, in 2007 they acquired singer Mark Boals, who replaced former vocalist John West. In 2011 after numerous requests from fans and promoters worldwide they decided to reunite with their former vocalist D. C. Cooper for a special tour, covering the first four albums of the band. They have since recorded a new album entitled Show Me How to Live featuring the returning D.C. Cooper as their permanent vocalist moving forward. They have sold more than 1 million albums worldwide.

The Fifth Element

The Fifth Element (French: Le Cinquième Élément) is a 1997 English-language French science fiction action film directed and co-written by Luc Besson. It stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Milla Jovovich. Primarily set in the 23rd century, the film's central plot involves the survival of planet Earth, which becomes the responsibility of Korben Dallas (Willis), a taxicab driver and former special forces major, after a young woman (Jovovich) falls into his cab. Dallas joins forces with her to recover four mystical stones essential for the defence of Earth against an impending attack.

Besson started writing the story that became The Fifth Element when he was 16 years old; he was 38 when the film opened in cinemas. Besson wanted to shoot the film in France, but suitable locations could not be found; filming took place instead in London and Mauritania. Comics writers Jean Giraud and Jean-Claude Mézières, whose comics provided inspiration for parts of the film, were hired for production design. Costume design was by Jean Paul Gaultier.

    Blood Red Stars

    by: Royal Hunt

    I'm walking tonight under these blood red stars
    They're spreading their light across the sky
    We're moving apart me and these blood red stars
    It's breaking my heart
    I'm wondering why
    How could I forget to once again
    Raise my glass to you
    The land of sorrow
    You remember wasted years full of pain
    And full of angry tears
    Why this tortured soil is still alive
    How with all those scars
    It keeps on living?
    Hopes and dreams are in the dirty
    Every soul's been badly hurt
    But look up there
    Above the wall
    Red stars refuse to fall
    As they should, Dead cold
    I'm walking tonight under these blood red stars
    They're spreading their light across the sky
    We're moving apart me and these blood red stars
    It's breaking my heart
    I'm wondering why
    Wondering why
    Hey, it's all gonna change one day
    I'll close my eyes and pray all your pain away
    I'm walking tonight under these blood red stars
    They're spreading their light across the sky
    We're moving apart me and these blood red stars
    It's breaking my heart
    I'm wondering why
    Where bloody stars
