How Did We Get So Dark?

There's no denying that Royal Blood is, at least in some small way, indebted to Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA), who played a key role in pioneering the sound that has made the English blues rock duo so famous. The muscular bass riffs, earth-shaking drums beats, and crooning vocals that have become Royal Blood's trademark would undoubtedly sound right at home on an album like Rated R or Songs for the Deaf.
