In a four-star review of “Back to The Water Below”, NME described the album as “a knee-jerk return to the roots”.

“This time, singer/doors Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher chose to record the album themselves in their studio in Brighton. It was a deliberate decision made by the long-time friends, understanding that their chemistry and trust were at the heart of their success,” he read.

“Back to the Water Below” feels like the return of Royal Blood. Honoring their instincts, as Kerr said they did in the studio, showed fruitful results for his band.”

In other Royal Blood news, Kerr recently spoke to NME about the trust Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme put in him, and how that helped shape the album.

“Josh Homme said, ‘If you expect anything from music, you expect too much’… Tomorrow is never promised, and it amazes me that we’ve come as far as we can do this yet,” he said.

“We never had any ambitions to play this venue or do that tour. Our only ambitions now are to keep digging and pushing forward creatively.”
