Dead Company is the upcoming fifth studio album by English rock duo Royal Blood, scheduled for release on 6 November 2026 through Warner Records. Self-produced by the band, the album has been preceded by the singles "Ten Over Ten", "Swallow the Bomb" and "Dead Company". Background
In 2023, the band released their fourth studio album, Back to the Water Below, which was supported by the Back to the Water Below tour from 2023 - 2024. Following the tour, the band took a small break, but announced in a statement at the end of 2025 that they "Can't wait to see you all again soon".
Release
In June 2026, the band began to tease new music online, and subsequently announced a small set of three UK shows for the summer, stating that they would “play you a couple of new songs”.
On 12 August, the band released the lead single "Ten Over Ten", and announced the upcoming release of their fifth studio album, Dead Company, on 13 November. The album was self-produced by the band, who called the production style "anti-production" due to its raw and stripped back nature.
Royal Blood announced on 21 August that they would be supporting the album with a UK headlining tour in the winter, debuting song "Swallow The Bomb" in a Pukkelpop concert on the same day. On 24 August, the band played a concert in Dreamland, Margate and debuted "Dead Company". Both songs were eventually released as the second and third singles of the album on 16 September and 6 October respectively.
