Royal Thunder finished recording their new album back in October, and now we finally have its release date. Royal Thunder will be releasing Wick on April 7th via Spinefarm Records, and according to guitarist Josh Weaver, “WICK is different, a bigger jump as far as our sound goes. But it’s still us — it’s just the sound of Royal Thunder’s evolution.”

Mlny Parsonz adds, “Out of all of the albums, WICK was the hardest one to make. It was a fight, but to hear it now, to see it finished, is so gratifying. Finally, it’s over, it’s amazing to be done with it. I’m looking at it, going, ‘We’re done, it’s over, be free.”

Royal Thunder‘s last record, Crooked Doors, is still in my weekly rotation, and I can not wait to lose myself in the entire Wick album. I was lucky enough to hear some of the new material at their New Years Eve show in Atlanta, and I completely agree with the press release as it simply states, “prepare to be moved.”
