Royal Blood are well and truly back and doing what they do best with a brand new album and a quintessential new tune.
The new track is called ‘Ten Over Ten’, and is a song that feels like a capsule back to the very roots of the band, with an atmosphere reminiscent of their debut album. From the blistering blastbeats to the perfectly crafted hooks, it is as catchy, cathartic and crushing as anything else that their discography boasts.
Though in looking to the past, the band are in no way taking a step there, as the song feels as fresh and thoroughly modern as can be.
And the album it will appear on is called ‘Dead Company’, which will be released on November 12 via Warner Records.
The band had this to say about it:
“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.”
The artwork looks like this:
