ROYAL BLOOD DROP "DEAD COMPANY" SINGLE + VIDEO — FIFTH ALBUM OUT NOVEMBER 6 marks the latest chapter in a whirlwind year for Royal Blood. The Brighton duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher have charged through 2026 with a string of landmark moments, and "Dead Company" — released October 6 via Warner Records alongside a striking hand-animated official video — arrives as the title track of their fifth studio album, due November 6.
Since their breakthrough, the pair have sent all four of their previous albums to No. 1 in the UK, sold more than a million records, and won the BRIT Award for Best British Group in 2015. This year alone, Royal Blood have played sold-out intimate UK shows, made a surprise appearance at Reading Festival, recorded a Zane Lowe session for Apple Music, and performed on SNL UK and BBC Later… with Jools Holland.
