German heavy rock outfit MIDNIGHT RIDER announce the release of their third studio album “Limited Infinity”, set to be released on May 22nd, 2026 via Massacre Records.
The album will be available as Digipak CD, limited vinyl LP and digital formats, continuing the band’s dedication to classic heavy rock inspired by the late ‘70s era, channeling influences such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest while maintaining their own distinctive identity.
To mark the beginning of this new chapter, MIDNIGHT RIDER unveil the first single and lyric video “The Renegade”. Watch it here.
With “The Renegade”, the band present a powerful and memorable track built around a strikingly simple yet effective riff - a spontaneous idea born during a studio soundcheck that evolved into one of the album’s standout moments.
Lyrically, the song addresses what it still means to be a woman in the metal scene, highlighting the challenges of going against the mainstream and carving out an authentic path in a traditionally male-dominated environment.
Serving as a first taste of “Limited Infinity”, the track encapsulates the band’s approach: classic heavy rock energy, strong songwriting and a timeless sound enriched by a fresh and powerful production.
On “Limited Infinity”, MIDNIGHT RIDER further refine their sound while staying true to their roots. The album introduces notable lineup updates, including Chris Black (High Spirits) on vocals, whose distinctive voice and layered choir arrangements bring a new dimension to the band’s sonic identity, alongside new members Hendrik (drums) and Nik (bass).
Produced and mixed by Christian Benner and Ralf Grett, and mastered by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony Studio, the album combines an authentic retro feel with a modern production approach, capturing the spirit of classic heavy rock in a contemporary context.
With “Limited Infinity”, MIDNIGHT RIDER deliver a passionate and uncompromising homage to classic heavy rock, reinterpreted with their own character and attitude.
