ROYAL BLOOD - 'OUT OF THE BLACK' EP
British rock duo Royal Blood have only been around for a short time but have already became a favourite of Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders. Vocalist/bassist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher have expanded upon their debut single Out of the Black with an EP.
The title track's stuttering drums, grunting guitars and howling vocals are an audacious arrival onto the music scene for the duo. Kerr's voice is a carnal, virile twist on the intense, piercing high notes of Matt Bellamy from Muse. The random, staccato beat of the drums in between choruses and verses, as well as the sped-up outro, are nicely unsettling to listeners. They show that the duo will not stick to the traditional four-to-the-floor rock song structure.
The EP then launches headfirst into second single Little Monster (which is clearly not a reference to one of Lady Gaga's fan base). It's a dirty, slinky offering (‘love on my fingers, lust on my tongue…come on and get some’), anchored by economic yet fullbodied riffs. The final chorus has some marvelously murky, melodic ‘oh-oh-oh’ harmonies and ad-libs that allow the track to reach the climaxes that few bands like Queens of the Stone Age reach.
