RJ is a 4-piece metal/HxC/metalcore band influenced by many old and new bands found in metal, metalcore, hardcore and all its sub-genres. The band became active in 2010 as a 3-headed band and released their first demo 'Triple Crown Demo' in 2012. They released a first EP called 'tenacity' halfway 2015. Getting more support within the Belgian scene, 2016 brings a new release for the band. No compromise were made this time, and the band recorded 5 brutal new songs for their EP ‘Retaliate – the Answer’. 2019 was the year Tijs joined the band and became a year filled with many great shows. Fueled with inspiration, 2020 was going to be the year in which ROYAL JAKE was going to record their first full length. And then there was the pandemic…

Through the years they have played many shows all over Belgium and The Netherlands, and shared stage with bands such as As Prayers Fail, BEAR, Empty Handed, Cedron, Reach The Shore, Knives To A Gunfight, Hexa Mera, Whatever it Takes, Colors Dead Bleed, Pushed To Far,, Reject The Sickness, Carrion, Signs Of Algorithm, Carry the Weight, Ciconia, Descomunal and many more...
