i love using the world instruments also. they sound great good song

Fuck yeah i was hooked from the first note!!!!!

great song, but after it mellows you need a slow build up to the scream. most metal core bands just scream for the entire song, you need a bit of singing in there with a catchy tune and some cool lyrics people will remember!

Amazing song, I think I found a new favorite band

uurgh

I've been wandering around for too long
I always ask myself
Why am I living in this lie?

I never asked for this
To be the one who holds the key of deceit.

There is nothing to hold on to
Now let me stand firm with my feet on the ground.
I need to break free from what is written in stone
So i can live this life on my own terms

Perjurer!
You are the cancer of life.
Sent from the heavens to destroy
And take avantage of the blind  

Murderer
you think that you're saving lives
But they are already dead
By shoving your words in their minds

So Keep preaching to your so called creator
These words won't help you to get up on your feet
Gather your hopes and dreams to fight for your existence
Never wait for an answer that you'll never receive

Stop feeding the society
with words they don't want to hear.
Express yourself with the purpose to save
But all you do is leave them in fear

 “Construct the throne of truth
   And name me king without a crown
For i will rule this world
Restore what has been depraved
and rebuild what has been destroyed

Now, and forevermore
I will shine the brightest light, for you to see
That happiness and bliss
Are made by the choices you make.”x2

I break the chains of my anchors.
And let you drown amongst your own kind
 For they will never survive
As I will rise after every fall

Surrounded by chaos
As I stand on the highest mountain
Where I will look down on you

Watching you suffocate
in a sea of your own lies.
While you're fighting for your fictitious life.
You  witnessed the fate of the ones before you.

Your life flashes before your eyes
As you spill your last breath  out of your lungs.
Take one final look at your surroundings.
Before I send you to the depths of hell.

The Royal - Arga

The Royal + logo
“your roots are your essence”


The Royal is a Dutch metalcore band that distinguishes themselves by bringing back the raw focus on metal into today’s overrated metalcore scene while maintaining a modern twist. Metalcore and progressive metal seem to fuse together perfectly in The Royal’s sound, and it’s being delivered in a spot on and advanced manner by this Dutch band. Given their ability to draw the listener in with brutally honest lyrics supported by technical but easy listening instrumentals The Royal shows solidarity for their future as a band to be taken very seriously. A fast growing, national and international, fanbase, selling cd’s and merchandise throughout the world, and touring the Netherlands with the biggest bands in their genre led them to be playing with the big names like Parkway Drive, The Ghost inside, Asking Alexandria and A Day To Remember on the big festivals. Now they are ready for more!

Formed in 2012 The Royal began writing and recording songs. These 5 ambitious young men show incredible promise through songs that showcase poignant and powerful writing, both lyrically and musically while still staying in touch with their metal roots. They released their EP, "Origins", in late 2012 and their single, "Blind Eye", in early 2013. 

The Royal released their highly anticipated album ‘Dreamcatchers’ on July 31st. The tracks, however, aren’t the only thing this band has addressed properly. The record features guest vocals from Shawn Spann from I The Breather and Ryan Kirby from Fit for a King. The artwork for this album was done by renowned artist Dan Mumford, who has worked for bands like A Day To Remember and Parkway Drive. To top it off they collaborated with American producer Cory Brunneman. All this shows this upcoming  band is serious about its ambitions and are determined to make it to the top.

The album contains 13 tracks, including an orchestral version of Origins, the title track of their EP from 2012. The songs definitely cover a great deal of metal and core elements, without being boring or monotone. Riffs that stick, brutal vocals combined with raw backings with tone, recognisable oriental spheres combined with exquisite melancholic parts and big tempo switches. All this will preserve your attention to the very last minute. Together with the release of their video for the title track ‘Dreamcatchers’ it obviously shows that this band is striving for a place among the big ones.

This quickly emerging band are planning a tour in Europe this fall to promote ‘Dreamcatchers’ to a wider and international audience.
