One of the most important British rock bands of their generation, ROYAL BLOOD 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 November 13th.
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 (bass, vocals) and Ben Thatcher (drums) 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 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 first track to be revealed, ‘Ten Over Ten,’ is a menacing desert rock meets MOTORHEAD 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.
