Ghost Riff Riders – Riff Notes: New Projects, New Collaborations, and a Special Physical Release?

Hey, Riff Riders! Sam and Crew Here

Big things are brewing in the storm of riffs, fire, and magic that is the Ghost Riff Riders. We’ve been pushing boundaries with our music, blending supernatural themes, groove metal power, and symphonic storytelling. Now, we’re looking at taking things to the next level with some exciting new projects, fresh collaborations, and—if all goes well—a limited run of a physical CD release for our fans!

A Physical CD? A Limited-Run Collectible?

That’s right! If the contract deal goes through, we’re looking at a special, limited-edition physical release—something tangible, something powerful, and something exclusive to the diehard Ghost Riff Riders fans. We’re likely keeping it website-only, making this a true collector’s piece for those who have ridden with us through the storms and the veils between worlds.

The big question is which album should we run? Do we bring back a past favorite, giving it the proper physical release it always deserved? Or do we go all-in on a new album designed for this special edition? We want to hear from you! What’s the album that defines your journey with us?

Graphic Style EarBook? Inspired by the Legends

We recently got our hands on Avantasia’s A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society and the Here Be Dragons EarBook edition—absolutely stunning. That got us thinking: what if we did our own take on this?

Instead of a traditional booklet, we’re toying with the idea of a graphic-style EarBook, blending metal, supernatural storytelling, and illustrations that bring our world to life. Think Mirage, Texas in visual form. Think Ryder breaking through the veil, the flames of his hellbike licking at the edges of reality, the Sirens, the angelic battles, and the lavender fields of eternity. Imagine an art-filled experience that tells the deeper story of our music.

Would you want to see something like this? Let us know, because if enough of you are on board, we’ll make it happen!

New Collaborations and Projects in the Works

While we’re keeping some details under wraps (because mystery makes for the best riffs), we can tease a few things:

• A powerful new song collaboration with an artist who knows how to channel raw emotion and symphonic grandeur. This could take the Ghost Riff Riders sound into an even more epic direction.
• Exploring deeper themes of light vs. darkness, love and loss, and the supernatural battles that shape the unseen world.
• Luna’s albums continues to evolve—this project is bringing some unexpected but deeply magical elements into the mix. Fans of folk-metal blends, soaring vocals, and powerful love ballads—you’re going to love what’s coming.
• The Next Chapter of Ryder’s Story—his return from the afterlife was just the beginning. The veil between life and death isn’t done with him yet, and neither are we.

Sound Off! We Need Your Voices!

So, metal warriors, let us know:

• What album (past or future) should we release physically?
• Would you want a graphic-style EarBook to tell our stories visually?
• What themes, visuals, or special features would you love to see?

Hit us up in the comments, on social media, or through the whispers of the supernatural wind—however you reach us, we’re listening.

The ride continues. Stay loud. Stay wild. And stay tuned.
