ROYALE LYNN Unveils New Single 'Altar'

Aylmer, Ontario, Canada-raised, Nashville-based metal/pop/country genre-blender artist Royale Lynn returns with a video for her new single "Altar", co-written with Cody Quistad of WAGE WAR. Emerging from the confines of her 2025 LP "Black Magic", Royale moves through a series of striking archetypal vignettes and sonically deepens the dark-pop elements introduced on fan-favorite "Wtch". Anchored by soaring vocals and thunderous synth-driven breakdowns, "Altar" captures Royale's empowering declaration: "Devotion is choosing you in every version of reality," as she unfolds the layers of femininity and desire.

Royale Lynn's music video for "Altar", filmed by Maya Sassoon, can be seen below.

With over 135 million global streams and over 1.5 million followers across socials, Royale Lynn has established herself as a powerhouse in the hard rock scene. She has brought her "ceiling-scraping vocals" to festivals like Louder Than Life, Welcome To Rockville and Aftershock, received the once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform alongside rock legends DISTURBED and toured North America with SKILLET, SEETHER and ASKING ALEXANDRIA.

Praised by Billboard, Loudwire and Revolver, her 2025 release "Black Magic" tore through the rock scene. Hard-hitting singles like "Death Wish" featuring Danny Worsnop (ASKING ALEXANDRIA) landed at No. 27 on the rock radio charts, "Inside Out" spotlighted on a Times Square billboard by Amazon Music, and the smoldering "Greed" ushered in the 2025 WWE Summer Slam. The powerful music video for "Sacrifice" painted a visual picture of the darkness that can accompany mental illness.

Royale will kick off her "Royale Pain In The A$$" tour on July 9 in Knoxville, Tennessee, supporting MEMPHIS MAY FIRE, before starting her headline dates on July 16.

A small-town girl turned Nashville singer/songwriter, Lynn grew up with Avril Lavigne and BREAKING BENJAMIN in her CD Walkman and makes music with gutsy abandon and charm. Lynn's songs resonate with folks equally cozy at Stagecoach festival or Sonic Temple.

Heralded by Billboard as "a ferocious newcomer with ceiling-scraping vocals," Royale Lynn's boundary-smashing amalgamation of hard rock and country demonstrates the growing appetite for her brand of genre-bending.

"I know there are a lot of people who grew up in the country that love rock, and vice versa," Lynn previously said. "I want to bring together a community of people who embrace being different and who are open to talking about mental health in small towns."
