Royal Blood, das sind: getriebene Vocals, ein wildes Schlagzeug und ein treibender Bass, der mit Effekten so weit gepitcht wird, dass er wie Bass und rotzige Gitarre zugleich klingt. Ihr treibender Rocksound bewegt sich zwischen Led Zeppelin, White Stripes und Queens of the Stone Age. Ab Ende Mai ist die Band als Support von Muse durch Europa und UK unterwegs. Köln steht am 9. Juni auf dem Tourplan, außerdem kommt die Band für ein paar Solo- und Festivalshows nach Deutschland[info sheet from distr.]

Royal Blood today ignite an epic summer ahead as they announce the September 8th release of their fourth album ‘Back To The Water Below’ and share its lead single ‘Mountains At Midnight’.

From the very beginning, Royal Blood’s story has been one of two life-long friends whose shared passion and dedication for writing and performing has led them on a remarkable adventure together – a story that has yet to be repeated, and is a feat as rare as it is remarkable. Long before Royal Blood were even formed, they spent years together in various bands playing to half empty bars around Brighton - and only then did they suddenly become a decade-in-the-making overnight success story. One day they were plotting how to recoup the meagre £300 they had spent on their first recording, but within a year they were at the top of UK album charts, storming Glastonbury and winning the BRIT Award for Best British Group.

‘Back To The Water Below’ is now available to pre-order or pre-save. In addition to its digital release, physical formats include deluxe vinyl (packaged with a bonus 7” featuring two additional tracks) and two cassettes, all of which are available exclusively from Royal Blood’s official store. Amazon will stock an exclusive gold vinyl, while HMV and select indie stores offer an exclusive clear vinyl. The range is completed by a CD and a regular black vinyl.

In the meantime, Royal Blood are playing a host of leading summer festivals and some stadium shows as special guests to Muse, culminating with a landmark homecoming headline show at Brighton Beach. both of which sold-out immediately.
