Danish progressive and power metal legends Royal Hunt have just released a brand-new live performance video for “The Mission” , captured at the Posada Rock Festival 2023. Premiered on December 19, 2025, the video delivers Royal Hunt in full command, firing on all cylinders in front of a massive, fully locked-in crowd.
Pulled from the band’s latest EP Behind the Curtain , this performance showcases everything Royal Hunt does best. Precision musicianship, cinematic arrangements, and a commanding vocal performance from DC Cooper , who brings the song to life with authority and fire. The sound is crisp, the energy is sky-high, and the connection between band and audience is impossible to miss.
“The Mission” stands as a live highlight from Behind the Curtain , preserving a moment where everything clicked. The crowd was loud, the band was tight, and the atmosphere was electric from the first note to the last chorus. This video is not just a performance, it’s a statement that Royal Hunt remains a dominant live force decades into their career.

The release was made possible through overwhelming fan support and stands as a celebration of Royal Hunt’s global community.
