Three Times Royal - Do You Know What It’s Like?

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    7 oktober 2022

Three Times Royal is a multinational (hard rock band based out of Los Angeles, CA. Iris Goessens adds with her vocals the Belgian touch and does it with power and I can confirm she still has a very good voice and fits here really well!


Three Times Royal was inspired by the hard reset of 2021. They create a cathartic experience of a checked past and satisfying stories of femme fatales. The project features blood-curdling screams, strong pop melodies, fresh hooks and power-driven instrumentals.

“Do You Know What It’s Like?” is about being absorbed by an internal monster. The single expresses a poignant view of substance abuse. The subject struggles between being a villain and being a victim of their own story. Who will help save the emotional impetus of a drowning addict? Do you know what it’s like?

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.” – Norman Cousins.

Vocalist, Iris Goessens has acclaimed success in Western Europe for her work in Spoil Engine. She has been praised by media outlets for her screaming range and exciting stage presence. Bassist, Mayson Ivy grew up in the hardcore punk scene in San Diego, CA. She found her home in metal and has since been everywhere in the scene. You may have seen her creeping around the backstage, FOH and music studios in the US and Europe. She is a familiar face backstage but song writing and live performance is her passion and she is ready to take her long awaited position on stage. Willa RoseAshley is a LA raised guitarist born into a music industry family, with a guitar in her hand. Her father worked with Blink-182, New Found Glory and BB-King. She grew up backstage at pop punk shows. After taking a few years to grieve the passing of her father she’s ready to return to the industry that raised her and connect with the people who she considers family.

Next to the great and lived through lyrics the vocals are strong, professional and really fit the song! The name of the band is also well chosen as I really feel these are 3 ladies who know what they are doing and they do it on a royal level! If you would hear them for the first time you wouldn’t guess they just launched their first song together! I already feel the chemistry and the symbiose! It’s a real wow track and the perfect one to launch this bran new band!
