What Is The Best Song By Royal Blood

Fox’s Recommendations

What better place to start than the bands breakout single! How does a band re-invent the powertrio? By removing the guitarist altogether and making it a duo! Overdriven bass and massive drums fills the stage. That being said the bass run through octave and fuzz pedals somehow gives the illusion of a guitar! How they make so little feel like so much is the mastery behind this song.

Royal Blood – Figure It Out (All Rights Are Retained By Royal Blood)

This song is filled with intent. Jagged, metallic and asserting dominance from the very first note. The imagery of betrayal is portrayed well through the raw instrumentation. The use of stops, starts and silence is a very effective weapon here.

Royal Blood – Out Of The Black (All Rights Are Retained By Royal Blood)

Fox’s Wildcard

Little monster rather than being mega heavy has this swagger to it. The bass riff has a slide to it rather than a stomp. This song is incredible live and demonstrates the bands ability to have control over the tension they build. A firm favourite of mine.

    I’ve heard only odd songs but I’m vaguely curious about them (if only I could shift them out of the Royal Trux folder in my mental filing cabinet). What’s the best place to start, would you say?

      I love their debut album + their follow up. I think if you dont like them after that then its worth stopping 🙂

    Big fan of Royal Blood. It wasn’t as well-received as their first two albums, but I loved Typhoons. Several top songs on it, including the title track, but my favourite is probably Boilermaker, closely followed by Trouble’s Coming. Maybe a bit more poppy than the earlier stuff, but still driven by hard-core bass playing.
