Royal Blood Announce New Album 'Dead Company', New Single 'Ten Over Ten' Out Now

Royal Blood return with fifth studio album Dead Company, out November 13 via Warner Records, led by new single 'Ten Over Ten'.

Royal Blood have announced their fifth studio album, Dead Company, out November 13 via Warner Records, alongside a new single, "Ten Over Ten," released today. It's the duo's first new music since 2023, marking a return for one of British rock's most consistent forces.

Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher went into the studio in 2025 with no deadline and no distractions, self-producing an album built around a simple ambition: what's possible with two people, twelve notes and infinite outcomes. "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," the band said. "Written and recorded with the stage in mind, we cannot wait to play it live for years to come."

"Ten Over Ten," the first track revealed from the record, is a desert-rock-meets-Motörhead single Kerr has described as being shaped by his own marathon training — the lyrics and vibe built around endurance and pushing past your limits.

Since emerging twelve years ago with one of the fastest-selling rock debuts of the century, Royal Blood have sent all four of their albums to Number One in the UK, sold more than a million records, and grown into an arena-filling, festival-headlining act credited as forerunners of the current guitar rock revival. Dead Company is a ten-track record the band calls the most immediate and uncompromising of their career.

"Ten Over Ten" is out now, with Dead Company arriving November 13 via Warner Records.
