Royale Lynn releases debut album ‘Black Magic’

Today, Nashville rocker Royale Lynn shares her new album “BLACK MAGIC” out now via Epitaph Records. A record that defies easy categorisation, on her full-length debut the self-professed “metalhead from a small town” proves her prowess for bridging the gap between two seemingly different worlds. Listen to “BLACK MAGIC” here.

For “BLACK MAGIC”, Lynn provides a raw exploration of her personal struggles with mental health, woven through a narrative inspired by her fascinations with horror, mythology and fantasy. Drawing from the legend of Pandora’s Box, each song on the record represents an “evil” that escaped Pandora’s box into humanity. Royale kicked things off with the heavy riffs of ‘GREED‘ before delving into ‘E.V.I.L.‘, taking listeners on a very intense, personal and intentional journey both lyrically and musically.

Today she shares the rebellious focus track ‘WTCH‘ where her angelic tone cuts through a soundscape of heavy instrumentation and industrial production. Boldly taunting her enemies through a defiantly catchy hook, the song ends with a breakdown that features her first ever recorded screams. Royale brings the heat on the vampy accompanying visual, performing as a witchy video vixen leading a hoard of lost souls at an industrial rave.

I love the lore of magic and things that we can’t see with our own eyes, so I thought ‘WTCH’ fit perfectly into the album concept. There are people out there who think I sold my soul, and with this song I’m telling them, “Maybe you just don’t understand the art and that’s okay.”  It’s okay to be different.
