French stoner rock power trio GREYBORN team up with Outlaws Of The Sun to present their rocking live rendition of Red Fang's all-time classic "Wires" today!
Drummer and vocalist Théo Jude comments: "We discovered Red Fang about 10 years ago with the "Murder The Mountains" album. For Theo (vocals/drums), it was a gateway to stoner music, and today we can say that Red Fang is one of our main influences. The "Wires" video obviously impressed us, but less than the song in itself, which has a form of balance that we also try to reach. You can feel the angst and heaviness, clean and punchy vocals with a sharp playing from all four musicians... Each time we listen to "Wires", we are caught by the dramatic and epic bridge, then crushed by the riff that follows. That's the kind of feeling we try to give our audience."

The drummer-fronted trio delivers the soundtrack of mass disenchantment with their dark, fuzzy and anthemic heavy rock, dealing with topics such as civilization decay and the ethical issues stemming from our swiftly changing societies. Taking its cue from the likes of Red Fang, Queens of the Stone Age or the Melvins, their decadent brand of stoner rock feeds in the world's darkest corners and follows its own rules, and was acclaimed as "a modern, moody kind of fuzz-laced groove; uptempo and catchy and melodic, but owing as much to brooding ’90s melodies as heavier desert push” by The Obelisk, and "a unique brand of psychedelic heavy rock” by The Sleeping Shaman.
'Leeches' was released on CD and digital through F2M Planet. It was recorded at CCM John Lennon in Limoges, mixed by Greyborn and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén (Katatonia, Lowrider, Crippled Black Phoenix). ► Watch their videos for "After Dark", "Bits & Pieces" and "Jharia".
GREYBORN - Debut EP 'Leeches' Available on F2M Planet and Bandcamp
Beholding the ashes of their former band Mama’s Gun, the rhythm section made of Théo Jude (vocals and drums) and Guillaume Barrou (bass) felt the urge to materialize their new ideas and ambitions, and quickly invited guitarist Maxime Conan (also bandmate of Jude in Blackbird Hill) to seal the lineup of thier new project: GREYBORN was alive. A handful of demoed tracks and salutary jams later, the trio gave birth to their 5-track debut EP, to be released on March 18th, 2022 via French imprint F2M Planet.
GREYBORN's story begins in this small interval between light and darkness, somewhere in the cold and mineral city of Limoges. The hopes of a hedonistic generation get shattered as they come up against the programmed decline of our civilization. The trio is the messenger of a mass disenchantment, providing its corrosive yet highly anthemic soundtrack, while taking their cue from the likes of Red Fang, Queens of the Stone Age and the Melvins.
