Queens hard rock band Ryder has announced Burn The Sky, its forthcoming studio album, due in August 2026. Following Menagerie, the upcoming full-length marks a darker turn in the band's sound.

Heavier, sludgier, and grittier, Burn The Sky drives deeper into lower tunings, bleak subject matter, and influences drawn from doom metal.

The songs explore loss, temptation, betrayal, resilience, revenge, and vindication. It isn't happy, but it's real.

The announcement arrives with clear momentum behind it. To date, Menagerie has earned 226,746 Spotify streams, while its three singles have also connected with listeners: “Southbound” has reached 72,067, “One Eye Open” has reached 49,758, and “Queen Viper’s Kiss” has reached 40,983.

Additional details on Burn The Sky, including music, visuals, and release information, will be announced in the coming months.
