Royal Blood announce new album Dead Company

Royal Blood have announced their fifth studio album Dead Company, out November 13.

Alongside the news, they shared ‘Ten Over Ten’, the first single on the record.

The self-produced album follows their 2023 album Back To The Water Below. It has been in the works since last year.

"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," said the band members. "Written and recorded with the stage in mind, we cannot wait to play it live for years to come."

On August 20, they will begin a short run of European and UK summer shows – starting with a date in Strasbourg, France. They will then travel to Biddinghuizen in the Netherlands, before heading to the UK to perform in Margate, Guildford and Southampton.

Since their last record, the band also released a 10^th anniversary reissue of their self-titled debut album in 2024.

Royal Blood was formed in Worthing in 2011. The hard rock duo features Mike Kerr on vocals, bass and keyboard and Ben Thatcher on drums.

Their self-titled album, released in 2014, became the fastest-selling British rock debut album in the UK in three years. They also won Best British Group at the 2015 Brit Awards, and have since toured worldwide and supported acts like Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys.
