Veteran stalwarts Royal Hunt are at it again with their 13^th studio album entitled Devil’s Dozen. After several lineup changes over their storied career, including a couple-three vocalist reshufflings, D.C. Cooper once again mans the microphone for this 8-track Progressive/Light Symphonic/Melodic Metal release. Royal Hunt’s simply at its best with Cooper … oddly, he’s really not that talented by “normal” Metal standards, but somehow his smooth delivery and “basic” tonal qualities just seem to blend in perfectly with Royal Hunt’s style like lemon and sugar in iced tea, making Devil’s Dozen a skillfully made, refreshingly reflective album.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
