As New Found Glory can attest, life moves quickly. Just three years after forming in Coral Springs, Florida, in 1997, the group were fast-tracked from local upstarts to mainstream stars on the back of ebullient pop melodies and hardcore-tinged breakdowns, setting off a blast of pop-punk dynamite that still lights the torch for modern acts more than two decades later.

Undisputed masters of murderous riffs, pugnacious grooves and ferocious hooks since 1991, Machine Head are long established as one of the most influential and incendiary bands in the metal world. Exploding into the world’s consciousness with 1994’s seminal Burn My Eyes album, the now legendary Oakland crew brutishly redefined what it meant to be heavy, incorporating a wild array of influences into some of the sharpest and most brutal metal anthems ever written.

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.
