Back to the Water Below, the fourth studio album by British rock duo Royal Blood, was released on September 8, 2023. This record sees the band taking their signature blend of bass-driven rock and thunderous drums into new, introspective territory, while still delivering the electrifying energy that fans have come to love.

Self-produced by the duo—Mike Kerr (bass and vocals) and Ben Thatcher (drums)—the album balances gritty rock anthems with more melodic and experimental tracks, showcasing their growth as musicians and songwriters. Tracks like "Mountains at Midnight" deliver the high-octane intensity Royal Blood is known for, while songs like "Pull Me Through" and "The Firing Line" highlight a softer, more vulnerable side of their sound.

Thematically, Back to the Water Below dives deep into personal struggles, self-reflection, and renewal. The album title itself evokes imagery of navigating emotional depths and emerging stronger, offering a sense of resilience and catharsis.

Critics have praised the record for its dynamic range and willingness to push boundaries, marking it as a pivotal moment in the band’s career. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Royal Blood’s sound, Back to the Water Below is a bold and compelling addition to their discography.

The album is available on vinyl, CD, and digital formats, and its release has been accompanied by a series of energetic live performances, further cementing Royal Blood’s reputation as one of the most exciting acts in modern rock.
