"Out of the Black" is a song written by Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher of British rock duo Royal Blood. The song was originally recorded by the duo for release as a single, appearing on the band's debut single of the same name, released by Black Mammoth Records on 11 November 2013. The track later appeared as the opening track on the band's debut extended play Out of the Black, and as the opening track on the band's eponymous debut studio album, Royal Blood. The track was also part of the soundtrack to the film Who Am I – No System Is Safe, as well as the video games Forza Horizon 2 and EA Sports UFC. It was also used in a featurette for the Netflix series Daredevil at the 2015 New York Comic Con. The song was also the official theme song for the 2016 professional wrestling event WWE Roadblock. This song has also been covered by Billie Marten.

Scott Kerr of AllMusic called the opener "a riff-fueled onslaught that belies their two-piece status; with just a heavily processed bass guitar and a drum set between them, they make some four-piece rock bands look inconsequential."DIY editor Stephen Ackroyd repeated what Kerr said about "Out of the Black", saying that it "remains an incendiary calling card - a roaring, snarling Godzilla levelling sky scrapers at will."

All tracks written by Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher. All tracks produced by Tom Dalgety with Kerr and Thatcher.
