The duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher are set to return with their fifth studio album in November.

Royal Blood have announced details of their long-awaited new album, Dead Company.

The duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher are set to release their fifth studio album on Warner Records on 13th November 2026 and have dropped the new single Ten Over Ten as teaser.

The track was inspired by frontman Kerr training for a marathon and concerns endurance and pushing yourself to the limit.

The ten-track album is Royal Blood's first new material since the release of Back To The Water Below in September 2023.

The self-produced LP was kick-started last year, and the pair claim they had no deadline and no distractions, resulting in a "raw and visceral" collection of songs.

The band say in a statement: “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.

"Written and recorded with the stage in mind, we cannot wait to play it live for years to come.”

Dead Company is available to pre-order now via the band's official website, https://royalbloodband.com.
