After achieving everything she’d spent her life fighting for – a UK Top 10 album, sobriety, love, family and a second chance at music – RØRY found herself confronting a darkness she thought she’d already survived.
“BLOODLETTING” is the result: a fearless exploration of grief, rage, mortality and what it truly means to be alive. Produced by long-term collaborators KINGDOMS with additional production and mixing from Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse), the album expands RØRY’s sound into heavier territory while retaining the raw honesty that defines her songwriting.
At its heart lies a simple question: do you want to die, or do you want to live?
“BLOODLETTING” is a beautiful, devastating record that journeys through catharsis in its purest form. Set for release on 4th September 2026, the album sees her artistry take a dark turn, channeling her alluring vulnerability into her most daring music to date. Pre-order and pre-save the album here.Speaking on the announcement, RØRY shares:
“I realised I was sick from being nice. I’d spent so much of my life being the bigger person, forgiving people, understanding people, making excuses for people. I’d become disconnected from huge parts of myself. BLOODLETTING was about reclaiming them.”
The album will feature all of RØRY‘s recent singles – ‘DEGRADATION‘, ‘DEAD GIRL WALKING‘ and ‘KIDS THESE DAYS’ – as well as her brand new anthem ‘STRANGE‘, which is streaming now.

What happens when the dreams come true but the grief remains? When the wounds heal but the anger stays buried beneath them? When mortality, loss and heartbreak continue to exist regardless of how much progress you have made?
For much of her life, RØRY had been comfortable writing about sadness. Anger was another matter entirely.
As therapy forced her to confront decades of suppressed emotions, she found herself face to face with feelings she had spent a lifetime avoiding: rage, resentment, jealousy, revenge, even hatred. Emotions that felt dangerous. Emotions that had never appeared in her songwriting before.
The title itself became the perfect metaphor. Historically, bloodletting was an ancient medical practice where blood was released from the body to cure illness. For RØRY, it became a spiritual act. A release of everything buried too deep for too long.
The result is the heaviest, most ambitious and most expansive music of her career. Working once again with long-time collaborators Kingdoms alongside additional production and mixing from Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse), RØRY pushed herself further than ever before. Inspired by the emotional weight of modern heavy music and determined to evolve as an artist, she began taking vocal lessons and learned to scream for the first time, discovering a new language capable of expressing emotions clean vocals could never fully contain.
In a few short weeks, RØRY will be making her Download Festival debut, performing at the critically acclaimed festival alongside headliners Limp Bizkit, Guns N Roses and Linkin Park. See the full festival line-up here.
Keep your eyes peeled for more RØRY and “BLOODLETTING” news in the near future.
