Out of the Black by Royal Blood
Out of the Black is an EP by Royal Blood, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Little Monster”, on 5 lists with a best position of #6.
Out of the Black, Royal Blood's debut EP and first major-label release, hit American shelves on 11 March 2014 through Black Mammoth and Warner Bros. The Worthing duo produced its four songs themselves with Tom Dalgety, and the whole trick is right there: Mike Kerr runs his bass through enough pedals and amps to sound like a guitar and a bass at once, while Ben Thatcher pounds the drums like he's trying to break through the floor.
It's a fat, heavy, stripped-to-the-studs hard rock racket that makes a two-piece sound like an arena act. The first three tracks went on to the self-titled debut album later that year, while "Hole" resurfaced as the B-side to "Little Monster".
