Hard rockers Ryder released the newest single, ‘Queen Viper’s Kiss,’ from their upcoming album “Menagerie,” out January 31st.
The band explains, “This track is a venomous tale of betrayal and survival, wrapped in a
ferocious mix of searing vocals and relentless guitar riffs. ‘Queen Viper’s Kiss’ captures the
essence of resilience and strength amidst chaos.” On Menagerie, Ryder reveals, “Menagerie
represents a bold new chapter for Ryder. Following a lineup change in January 2024, this is the
first album to feature the band’s fresh dynamic and renewed creative energy. The record is a
vivid tapestry of human experience, blending raw emotion with powerful instrumentation. Each
track offers a unique lens into themes of struggle, triumph, and identity, reflecting Ryder’s
evolution as artists. From blistering hard rock anthems to haunting melodies, Menagerie
showcases the band’s ability to tell stories that resonate deeply while delivering high-energy,
unforgettable performances.”
Ryder is a hard rock band hailing from Queens, NY, blending the best of classic rock with a modern edge. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist and rhythm guitarist James Ryder, the band draws inspiration from legendary rock acts while carving out their own distinct sound. On lead guitar, Max Knight delivers electrifying solos that pay homage to the greats but with a fresh, dynamic twist. The thundering backbone of Ryder comes from Rod Viquez on bass and Nick Bavaro on drums, whose tight, heavy grooves create the perfect foundation for the band’s explosive energy.
