We from ROYAL DESOLATION are 5 passionate Swiss metalheads. Even before our first release, we played extensively in various Swiss clubs. The five-track EP "Lost" was then released in 2019.

Due to the global pandemic, we decided to produce our first series of singles and videos. The first single "WE WILL NOT FALL" was released in September 2020. The second single "BORN IN ASHES", echoing the theme of "WE WILL NOT FALL", was followed by the third single "ARMY OF DESOLATION" in October 2021.

 

Since these have been released, we have become more and more experimental with the synthesizer, especially the 80s synthesizer.

In the meantime, it is impossible to imagine our songs without it.

 

Since April 2022, our first album "Puppet Dance" is available on various streaming platforms such as Spotify, Youtube, Aple Music and lots more. 

 

Our second album "Demon King" was released september 2024. Follow the the epic story of the rise and fall of the Demon King and the bands battle against his demons of hell, written down in the booklet of "Demon King". Available on our website as well as Patreon and Bandcamp.

​

The mixture of 80s synthesizer and catchy melodies are going to be even stronger, as you can hear in our new album "Demon King".

This has become our trademark along with the pure energy in our music and at our live shows.

However, our lyrics thematise and process the decay and disorder in today's society.
