Palaye Royale announce new album ‘The Bastards’

PALAYE ROYALE have announced a new album!

Titled The Bastards, the upcoming album from the band will be their third full-length studio album and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Sumerian Records.

The band have been teasing their third studio album since last year. Surrounded by a utopian world created by the band, the upcoming album is set in a place that is a reflection of their own lives, but in a mythological sense. Speaking on this special world he and his brothers have created, drummer/pianist Emerson Barrett says, “it takes place around the island of Obsidian and it’s set in 1888. In short, it’s a world that started off with intentions where the island encouraged free thinkers and artists to exist and, as everything does in life, eventually it becomes this political power and evil toxicity that comes with everything. To remain a true individual in the society, you must wear a gas mask.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; titled Lonely. Speaking about the track, vocalist Remington Leith says, Lonely is about the mental and physical abuse I endured as a child. Growing up, I went through so much shit and at points felt so low I couldn’t see a way out. It has effected me deeply throughout my life but I want the world to know that no matter what you’re going through, if I can make it out on the other side, so can you.”
