Royal Blood have announced their fifth studio album.
The Brighton duo are set to release 'Dead Company' through Warner Records on November 13, following up 2023's 'Back To The Water Below'. The self-produced 10-track album began to take shape last year, when vocalist-bassist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher returned to the studio without a deadline or distractions, just a simple goal: to see what two people and 12 notes could create. They explained:
"After putting the Royal Blood engine in neutral for a couple of years, we've been building up the revs and are playing faster and harder than ever with this album. Written and recorded with the stage in mind, we cannot wait to play it live for years to come."
To celebrate the announcement, the duo have shared the new single Ten Over Ten, which is driven by a thundering bass riff, pounding drums and Kerr's powerful vocals.
Following dates in France and the Netherlands, Royal Blood will return to the UK for intimate comeback shows at Margate's Dreamland, Guildford's G Live and Southampton's O2 Guildhall in late August. Tickets are on sale now.
Since their last album, the band released a 10th anniversary reissue of their self-titled debut album in 2024.
