In 2021, they released their third studio album, “Typhoons,” which showcased their evolution towards a more dance-oriented sound while maintaining their rock roots. The album included the popular single “Trouble’s Coming,” which was featured in multiple video game soundtracks, expanding their reach to new audiences.

Most recently, Royal Blood released their fourth album, “Back to the Water Below,” in September 2023, continuing their trajectory of success. The duo has also supported renowned acts like Muse, demonstrating their ability to captivate audiences worldwide. With a commitment to pushing musical boundaries, Royal Blood remains a vital and influential presence in the rock genre.
