Offering ten new songs with How Did We Get So Dark? the dangerous twosome has brought desire back into dark and deadly, accompanied by album art which is silent and somber. Like lighting as it strikes in the sky, it simply can not be defined. So much sound from just two men, Royal Blood are showing how they have become refined, more creative, all while bringing along some hellish riffs the second time around.
