Electrifying Los Angeles trio Palaye Royale today share their highly anticipated fourth studio album “Death or Glory” via Sumerian Records.
Across a series of increasingly bold records, the band have laid out their grand rock & roll vision inspired by everyone from The Libertines to The Rolling Stones, by way of My Chemical Romance. Those first four records were driven by a desire to prove just how much the band could actually do, nailing everything from epic heartbreak to snarling vengeance. 2020’s genre-hopping The Bastards showcases a band out to take on the world while 2022’s Fever Dream takes rebellious punk rock and twists it around orchestral beauty. By contrast, new album Death Of Glory has absolutely nothing to prove.
Inspired by years of chaotic, communal gigs, album five sees Palaye Poyale comfortable in their own skin. “We’ve learned that writing radio hits or soundtracking viral moments on social media is great, but we don’t need to chase those things. We’ve got this dedicated fanbase, and that’s the most important thing,” says Remington. “Death Or Glory is definitely our most confident record.”
It's also their most fun. Following the success of the sprawling Fever Dream world tour, the Palaye Royale brothers and touring bassist Logan Baudean reconnected with guitarist Dave Green, who played with the band on their first ever tour. They set up shop in his garage studio alongside producer Matt Squire and “got back to the roots of the band,” says Sebastian Danzig. “We just had so much freedom.” In one day, they wrote the party-starting rave of Pretty Stranger and the empowering snarl of Death & Glory, setting the tone for everything that would come next. “The whole thing has this energy of not caring about being too perfect.”
“We’re not taking ourselves too seriously and just having a good time this time around,” Remington continues. “In a band, there’s always so much pressure around the decisions you make but this record was all about making music in a room together. All we cared about was being happy in that moment,” he adds, with Death Or Glory driven by a sense of euphoria. “Most of our albums are dark and depressing, but this one is all about having fun.”
Death Or Glory may see Palaye Royale fully embrace the giddy recklessness of their celebrated live show, but there’s a lot of heart behind the album as well. As the band were recording the last song, they got the news that their mom Stephanie Rachel had been diagnosed with stage four cancer. She passed away nine months later. “This album is coming out at the perfect time,” says Sebastian. “Instead of living in this dark, depressing headspace after losing someone so important, so loved by all of us, Death Or Glory is forcing us to chase fun and excitement.” It’s about connection, unity and strength in numbers, which is something the world could do with more of.
“This record means so much more to us now, because life is short. You need to enjoy every single moment while you can and surround yourself with people you care about,” Sebastian continues. “We’re really trying to be the best band we can be, so we can make our mom proud. As silly as it might sound, I just want people to have fun with this record.”
Palaye Royale consists of brothers Remington Leith (vocals), Sebastian Danzig (guitar), and Emerson Barrett (drums). The creation of "Death or Glory" was a cathartic return to their roots, combining their deep musical knowledge with an innovative approach. The album's tracks were developed during a period of introspection, drawing from their extensive experience and growth as artists. Each song on the album is meticulously crafted, showcasing the band's profound connection to their music and their fans, lovingly dubbed the Soldiers of the Royal Council.
“When we first started out, the goal was Wembley arena. Now that show has been announced, it’s about planning the way forward from there,” says Sebastian. The mantra of Palaye Royale remains “always be ambitious, always be driven and always stay true to yourself,” he continues. “And I’m not worried if that pisses people off anymore.”.
