With the release of their previous singles, ROYALIST could already prove that they stand for the fusion and innovation of genre boun daries, and they push this idea even further. During the pandemic, they have completed a whole variety of songs detached from the events of this world. Thus, the quartet combines quiet, melancholic passages with stomping, aggressive, digital rhythms and melodies in their songs: The song „Anyway“ is probably one of the most outstanding rock ballads from 2021, while the song „Voices“ will even reach some metal fans due to the feature of the Hamburg metalcore band „Half Me“.
The focus track „Twentysomething“ is probably the most exciting song on the album. A doped emo-rock number based on beats, vocal samples and strong guitars that fly around the listener‘s ears paired with an incoming rhythm.
