Royal Blood are back. The Brighton duo of Mike Kerr (vocals/bass) and Ben Thatcher (drums) are gearing up to release their fifth studio album, Dead Company, via Warner Records. If you caught our coverage of the Royal Blood drop 'Dead Company' single news, you already know the title track. Now the full album picture is coming into focus, and it is the band's first album since 2023. It also arrives on the back of an unbroken run: all four of Royal Blood's previous albums have hit UK No. 1.
According to reports, Dead Company is self-produced, with the pair describing the process as "anti-produced". Expect something rawer and more direct than a typical big-label rock record.
