Black Royal is a Finnish sludge metal band from Tampere, Finland. http://www.blackroyal.fi Black Royal was founded in the spring of 2013 to create music that hadn't been played much in Finland but was what the guys in the band would’ve wanted to listen. The group shared an urge to play crushingly heavy, blackened declamation. From the start the idea was to combine different styles of heavy music from the 70’s metal to more current sludge and death metal stylings.
