Royal Blood release their fifth album Dead Company, following 2023’s Back to the Water Below. Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher recorded the album themselves, aiming for something raw and direct while exploring what they could achieve as a two-piece. Written with live performance in mind, it finds the duo playing faster and heavier. First single Ten Over Ten brings desert rock heft and Motörhead-style force, with lyrics inspired by Kerr’s marathon training and the physical demands of endurance.
