The band will embark on a European tour with Einar Solberg in September, including appearances at Euroblast and ProgPower;
Royal Sorrow return with “Covert,” the first single after their acclaimed debut album Innerdeeps(2025). The song is a testament to the band’s unique place in the metal scene. Royal Sorrow has quickly built a reputation of being a voice for introspection and finding solace in the darkness.
“The ashen wings unfold”
The track features Royal Sorrow at their most versatile, and at the heart of what the band’s fans have grown to love. It features an incredible range of vocals and a trademark confluence of groove and harmony.
From dark and heavy, to soaring and epic, the song brings together beauty and fury like never before – pure progressive drama from start to end.
The band explains, “Covert is a meditation on transformation and the will to live on despite hardships.Itis a journey of growth through fire. Change is never easy, but sometimes pushing through the pain is necessary to become the most authentic version of yourself.”
