Zach Bryan recently unveiled his highly anticipated sixth studio album, “With Heaven on Top,” through an Instagram announcement that playfully warned fans, “Hope you don’t hate it.” This new project follows the success of his previous album, “The Great American Bar Scene,” released in 2024. With a sprawling 25 tracks, Bryan continues his tradition of producing extensive album collections, having previously released 19 tracks on his last album and even 34 on “American Heartbreak” in 2022.
After an intensive three years that saw the release of three studio albums alongside numerous EPs and live recordings, Bryan took a step back last year to recalibrate his life and career. The break came amid personal challenges, including a high-profile breakup with podcaster Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia and a public altercation at the Born & Raised Festival. He also made headlines with a controversial song that seemed to criticize ICE. During this time, Bryan revealed that he was grappling with intense “earth-shattering panic attacks.”
Reflecting on his journey, Bryan stated, “Being in the military for a decade and then thrown into a spotlight that I hadn’t fully comprehended the scope of had some subconscious effects on me as a person.” He emphasized the values of resilience instilled in him, noting the importance of facing challenges despite his fears. Finding a path to stability through sobriety and love, he married Samantha Leonard in a private ceremony in San Sebastian, Spain, at the end of 2025.
