The song will join the previously released single ‘Trouble Coming’, which was the first new material from the band since their 2017 album ‘How Did We Get So Dark?’.

Talking about the previous single ‘Trouble Coming’, Vocalist Mike Kerr said The song was a real turning point for the third album, saying “It was the moment something started to click – where we started playing over those much more rigid dance beats. The breakthrough was realizing that there was real common ground between that and what we’d done before. It’s that AC/DC aspect: where the quality that makes the riffs seem so cutting is because of that beat. Although on the surface we were stepping outside what we’d done before, it didn’t feel at all unnatural; it felt like we were returning to music we’d loved from the very beginning: Daft Punk, Justice, things that were really groove-orientated. It was all about the beat. It felt like familiar territory, but something we’d censored in ourselves.”

Drummer Ben Thatcher adds “When we first broke out, there were only two elements to the band. I didn’t just have to carry the beat, I’d have to color in the changes. We were both bearing a lot of freight, sonically. But this was a different challenge; less varied, maybe, but so satisfying as a drummer.”

Royal Blood also recently teamed up with Hip-Hop Duo Run The Jewels, to release a remix of ‘The Ground Below’ from RTJ4.
