RØRY unleashes self-assured heavy hitter ‘Dead Girl Walking’

The evolution of RØRY continues. Today, the critically-acclaimed alternative artist has unveiled her new single ‘DEAD GIRL WALKING‘, a pulverising anthem that represents strength, confidence and and the inextinguishable fire that’s fuelling her ascension through the alternative scene. Listen to the new single here and watch the music video here.

Following the huge success of her Top 10 UK debut album “RESTORATION”, a Heavy Music Award win for Best UK Breakthrough Artist in 2024, two huge headline UK tours and her first ever live shows in Europe, ‘DEAD GIRL WALKING‘ plays an important part in the next chapter of her story. Following the visceral surprise of recent single ‘DEGRADATION‘ that saw her explode into the world of heavy music, the new single sees RØRY continue to expand her metallic palette in the only way she knows how; authentically.

Speaking on the new single, RØRY has a very simple message:
“They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks… allow me to fucking disagree.”

RØRY was also recently announced among the first wave of artists to perform at Download Festival 2026, joining the critically acclaimed festival line-up alongside headliners Limp Bizkit, Guns N Roses, Linkin Park and many, many more incredible bands. 

In a viral announcement video that has now has over a million views, RØRY joked:
“I’m disappointed in the Download line up this year, and quite frankly somebody has got to say it. It’s not the headliners – Linkin Park, Guns N Roses, Limp Bizkit, that’s really good. Bad Omens, Architects, amazing. Have you seen that delusional old ADHD bitch on there?! Download have let themselves go.”

RØRY‘s music serves as a form of therapy for her fans and it provides the same service for her, too. Anger and rage are new emotions for her and learning how to harness them has opened up an exciting, new and shadowy world to explore. ‘DEGRADATION‘ saw her take her first steps in that world, ‘DEAD GIRL WALKING‘ sees her get more comfortable with her surroundings, and there’s plenty more to come. Keep your eyes peeled for more RØRY news in the coming months.
