DEAD COMPANY

Royal Blood, one of the most important British rock bands of their generation, return today with an explosive new single ‘Ten Over Ten’ and announce their long-awaited fifth studio album, ‘Dead Company’, released via Warner Records on 13th November.

‘Dead Company’ marks a powerful new chapter for the duo, who last released an album in 2023.  Following a period away from the spotlight, Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher entered the studio in 2025 with no deadline, no distractions and a simple ambition: to see what was possible with two people, 12 notes and infinite outcomes.

Self-produced – or more “anti-produced” – by Royal Blood, they set out to make an album as raw, human and visceral as possible.  ‘Dead Company’ strips everything back to its core.  Immediate and uncompromising, it captures Royal Blood at their most powerful.

The band adds “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 first track to be revealed, ‘Ten Over Ten’, is a menacing desert rock meets Motörhead behemoth of a single. The lyrics and vibe were inspired by the frontman training for a marathon, and it became all about endurance and pushing yourself.
