Brace yourselfâFIRSTBORNE, the hard rock and heavy metal juggernaut featuring some of the genreâs heaviest hitters, has officially joined the ranks of M-Theory Audio. To celebrate, the band has dropped a blistering new single and music video, âWake Up,â now streaming for those brave enough to hit play.
đĽ Watch âWake Upâ now
Directed by Drew Kaufman (Two Minutes to Late Night), the video blends thunderous riffs with tongue-in-cheek flair, giving fans a dose of FIRSTBORNEâs signature mix of shred, swagger, and self-awareness.
FIRSTBORNE isnât just a supergroupâthey’re a full-throttle collision of talent and tone. Featuring legendary drummer Chris Adler (Lamb of God, Megadeth), guitar hero Myrone (yes, the soft shred pioneer himself), and powerhouse vocalist Girish Pradhan (Girish and the Chronicles, The End Machine), the band fuses classic metal roots with modern energy, soaring hooks, and surgical-level precision.
Formed in 2019, FIRSTBORNE made early waves with a series of independently released EPs and singles from 2020â2023, blending melodic mastery with enough groove to shake tectonic plates. Now theyâre leveling up with their first full-length album Lucky, produced by the one and only Machine (Clutch, King Crimson, Crobot)âand due out July 18th via M-Theory Audio.
đ Pre-order Lucky now on limited-edition colored vinyl, CD, or digital.
Guitarist Myrone offers a glimpse into the creative chaos:
âWhen Chris, Girish, and I finally got in a room together, it was a dream. We wrote everything in real-time at Machineâs barn in Texas. I came in with 150 songs⌠and we used zero. What you hear was born right there, right then.â
Between Adlerâs iconic rhythm work, Myroneâs neon-shred precision, and Pradhanâs genre-defining vocals, FIRSTBORNE is an electrified fist to the face of the modern metal sceneâbuilt for stages, playlists, and repeat button abuse.
