Royal Thunder has been announced as the direct support for the upcoming headline tour from Alice In Chains. Royal Thunder is touring in support of their recently released new album Rebuilding The Mountain (Spinefarm Records). Read our review here .
On Thursday, July 20th, I was fortunate enough to be amongst many others in attendance at Wally’s in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, where Royal Thunder took the stage in support of their newest album Rebuilding the Mountain (Spinefarm Records). This was the first time I had seen a Royal Thunder performance since they toured for their previous record Wick in 2017. After some time away from touring, the Atlanta rock band soared back into our ears & hearts in a way that only Royal Thunder could. With an awe-inspiring spell of entertainment right on Hampton Beach that evening. As the lights dimmed and the house music dissolved to a halt, Josh, Mlny, and Evan sauntered onto the stage into view. The trio that gave us such fantastic records previously were reunited at last. The energy between the three bandmates before us seemed to resonate throughout the room like an unheard sound. It was hard to ignore the feeling of anticipation building, for the heart of Royal Thunder was whole again.

Ghost Cult reconnected with our old friend Josh Weaver of Royal Thunder to discuss their new album “Rebuilding The Mountain” out now via Spinefarm Records! Josh was very candid about the struggles the band had before making the album, nearly breaking up. We go deep on this essential band, and why there is so much heart and soul in all their music! Catch the band on tour coming to a town near you soon!
This band from Atlanta transcended the vest metal tag assigned to them early on, to become one of the most underrated new acts to coast under the radar of mainstream rock. The lengthy seven-year break since their last album did not help this, but Rebuilding The Mountain (Spinefarm Records) finds the band taking inventory of their demons before returning, reconfigured, with drummer Evan Diprima back in the fold.
