THE ROYAL have premiered their new single and video for ‘Nine For Hell’, the first track taken from the 3rd studio album Deathwatch which will be released on March 8th, 2019 via Long Branch Records.
Dutch metal band THE ROYAL keeps exploring the wide variety of today’s metal scene. After the release of their first label release Seven – which was hailed for its catchy riffs and uplifting songs – THE ROYAL played numerous club shows and festivals across 25 European countries during a two month tour. This was followed by a series of intercontinental shows during a four week tour in Japan and China.
Having spend much time on tour writing songs and discussing heavy topics, THE ROYALdecided to explore the darker side of metalcore on their upcoming album Deathwatch. The new record is a mix of catchy riffs with heavy breakdowns and ambient sounds. There is a lot of raw emotion put into this upcoming record, in which the band processes what has been a very emotional past year.
THE ROYAL’s DIY work ethic with writing, producing, design and more has resulted in an album true to the band’s vision. Whether it’s vocalist Sem Pisarahu writing about life struggles, or the exceptional guitar work of JD and Pim, if you like shadowy, epic sounding, emotional metal music, rest assured, this album is for you.
