About this Album
Dead Company is the fifth studio album by Royal Blood, due on Warner Records on 13 November 2026 and following 2023's Back to the Water Below.[1] The duo recorded and produced it themselves in 2025 with no deadline, aiming for a stripped-back sound made with live performance in mind.[2] It has ten tracks, led by the single "Ten Over Ten."[1]
The record follows a break in which drummer Ben Thatcher became a father and singer Mike Kerr got engaged. Recording began on 2 January 2025, and the band cite Motörhead as a reference point. The second single, "Swallow The Bomb," was the first song written for the album, and Kerr has called the record pretty relentless.
