Royale Lynn Exorcises The Voices In Her Head With New Single “E.V.I.L.”
Debut Album ‘BLACK MAGIC’ Out June 27 Via Epitaph
“Royale Lynn has experimented with a plethora of sonic aesthetics, from electro-spiked country to black velvet trap-pop to ebon-hearted nu-rock.” – Revolver
Nashville based artist Royale Lynn today unleashes her high-octane new single, “E.V.I.L.,” fresh off a massive North American tour alongside Asking Alexandria and a triumphant performance at Welcome To Rockville. Lifted from her debut album ‘BLACK MAGIC’ out on June 27th, the record draws inspiration from the legend of Pandora’s Box to explore themes of mental health with unflinching honesty.
On “E.V.I.L.”, an acronym for “Every Voice Inside Lies,” Royale pushes genre boundaries with a potent fusion of EDM and metalcore. Adding a four-on-the-floor beat to a wall of crushing instrumentation, the track is equally at home on the dancefloor or in a moshpit.
Royale explains, “E.V.I.L is such a special song, we really tried to push outside of the box incorporating dance elements to a nu-metal song. It has dark lyrics with a fun beat behind it, that is sure to get your head bopping.” Check it out below:
From small-town girl to now a part of the Epitaph Records family, Royale Lynn has been experimenting with a nostalgic alt-metal influenced, hard-rock sound that has resonated with over 1 Million followers across socials and over 70 Million global streams. Proving her prowess for bridging the gap between two seemingly different worlds, on her full-length debut, BLACK MAGIC, the self-professed “metalhead from a small town” brings an extensive musical acumen and deep songwriting roots to elevate her visual and sonic identity.
Over the past year Royale has previewed the record with hard-hitting singles like “DEATH WISH” featuring Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria), a song dedicated to first responders which landed at #27 on the rock radio charts. Unafraid to tackle serious topics within her music, “BATTLEGROUND” chronicles the tumultuous experience of escaping a toxic relationship and emerging stronger and more resilient, while the powerful music video for “SACRIFICE” paints a visual picture of the darkness that can accompany mental illness.
“Every song on BLACK MAGIC is about mental health; I want to tell my stories in hopes that it might help others,” Royale explains. “I think that music saves lives. Growing up, I struggled with managing my mental health, and I know some of my best friends struggled, too. I think this music gives us a safe space where we can be honest with ourselves. I wanted to show the community that they aren’t alone.”
After signing to Epitaph Records, Royale took 2024 by storm. Earning the distinction of being named one of Loudwire’s Artists To Watch, she was also heralded by Billboard as “a ferocious newcomer with ceiling-scraping vocals.” Spending much of the year on the road, Royale toured North America alongside Skillet and Seether, played festivals like Louder Than Life, Rocklahoma and Aftershock; where she then received the once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform onstage with metal legends, Disturbed. With her crossover sound resonating with the next generation of music fans, Royale Lynn is poised to claim her throne as active rock’s new queen.
