Palaye Royale’s has released their latest album, Death or Glory and it is a musical masterpiece. We’ve been following Palaye Royale since our first listen back in 2013. We declared them as the Best Indie Rock Band You Have To Hear. Over the past decade, we’ve watched them grow in every sense—artistically, musically, and personally. Their evolution has been incredible to witness, especially considering the obstacles they’ve faced along the way. One of the most significant challenges and life changing moment was the heartbreaking loss of their mother, Stephanie, who was not only their biggest supporter but also their greatest champion and a true bright light in this world.

To see them move forward and come through all of that and deliver Death or Glory is nothing short of amazing. This album feels like a culmination of everything they’ve been through, with their raw talent and vulnerability on full display. It’s a testament to their resilience and unwavering dedication to their craft. Death or Glory is not just another album—it’s the result of years of perseverance, passion, and an unbreakable bond. The album feels like a bold statement from the band—a declaration of their identity, rawness, and artistic vision. They lay it all out with a “this is us – take us or leave us” and we are definitely taking it!

Each track offers a glimpse into the band’s soul, exposing vulnerability while simultaneously embracing their rebellious, unapologetic nature. The emotional depth and eclectic range of sounds on this album come together in a way that feels both deeply personal but yet universally relatable. The album is packed with 12 songs that will surely become the soundtrack to the moments of ups and downs and everything in between of your life. It effortlessly transitions from dark, introspective ballads to high-energy, anthem-like tracks.

Death or Glory cements Palaye Royale as a band that isn’t afraid to bare it all, truly pushing the boundaries of what modern/alt rock can be while staying true to their signature style. This is the kind of album that will resonate with listeners long after the first listen. For longtime fans to new ones, this is an album that will definitely grab their attention.

One standout track from Death or Glory is “Ache In My Heart,” a song that perfectly captures Palaye Royale’s ability to blend emotion with sensuality. It’s a sultry piece that draws you in with its hypnotic rhythms and addictive melody. The way the song flows is both seductive and intense, making it impossible to listen just once. It’s a track that lingers, leaving a lasting impression that pulls you back for more. Definitely one of the highlights of the album. Check out a video:

The track “For You,” which has begun making waves on Alt Nation. It’s the perfect song to express the deep emotions you feel for a significant other, capturing the intensity of love and devotion in a way that feels both personal and universal. With its infectious melody and heartfelt lyrics, “For You” is destined to climb the Alt18 countdown, so get your requests in! It connects with listeners on a deeply emotional level and resonates long after it ends, making it one of the album’s undeniable highlights.

Another favorite from Death or Glory is “Mr. Devil,” a track that brings an edgy, raucous vibe and is absolutely addictive. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to let go and go wild, maybe make a few bad decisions, filled with raw energy and an irresistible pull. The grit and rebellious spirit in the song highlights Palaye Royale’s essence, “Mr. Devil” perfectly captures that unfiltered chaos that the band is so great at channeling.

A truly personal and vulnerable track is Self Loathing Conversation and although it is a slower track, it carries such depth and vulnerability that cuts right through your soul. It’s a blend of darkness and introspect that we all need more of.

The album is a daily playlist worthy and must have. Even better, pick up a vinyl and you really will get drawn into the music.
