| Last week, critically acclaimed alternative artist RØRY released her stunning second album BLOODLETTING via her own SADCØRE label; 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. Her debut album RESTORATION debuted at #10 in the UK Album Charts, an enormous feat for an independent artist. This week, BLOODLETTING has entered a battle for a spot in the UK Album Chart Top 5, currently sitting at the #5 spot in the midweek charts. The self-released album is less than 200 copies from #4, with physical records accounting for 95% of her midweek chart units. She’s fighting for her place in the Top 5 alongside some giants of the music world, including Michael Jackson, Olivia Rodrigo, Bloc Party and Bonobo. Stream and purchase BLOODLETTING here RØRY finds herself in this position not because of a major-label campaign or streaming numbers, but because of the fantastic support from The 37 Club, her incredibly passionate and loyal fan base that she’s built around her music. They’ve collectively driven the release to this point by rallying around her throughout the entire album campaign and showing up in droves to RØRY‘s recent sold-out in-store signing sessions, reinforcing the unifying power of the heartwarming community. There are more in-store signings happening this week – find more information here. To celebrate The 37 Club, RØRY has launched a very special deluxe digital edition of the album that’s only available for one week. The deluxe edition features exclusive artwork, a previously unreleased bonus track ‘WHY I’M ALIVE (demo)’ and a track-by-track commentary from RØRY, telling the stories, meaning and moments behind every song on the record. This edition also includes a very special 58-minute extended version of ‘ [do you want to live?]‘, featuring the voices of every 37 Club member who submitted a voice note to become part of the album. Find the deluxe digital edition of the album here. |

ABOUT RØRY AND BLOODLETTING:
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. |
