M-Theory Audio is pleased to announce the latest signing to the label – hard rock and heavy metal powerhouse Firstborne.
Today we premiere the first single and music video for “Wake Up”, giving fans a taste of what to expect from their highly anticipated debut full-length effort.
“Wake Up” video was directed by Drew Kaufman (Two Minutes to Late Night) and is a welcome introduction to the group’s penchant for infectious hard rock with a humorous and relatable twist.
Watch the video for “Wake Up” below.
Firstborne features legendary drummer Chris Adler (Lamb of God, Megadeth), virtuoso guitarist Myrone (known by some as the originator of soft shred), and electrifying vocalist Girish Pradhan (Girish and the Chronicles, The End Machine). Formed in 2019, Firstborne blend high-energy riffs, soaring vocals, and thunderous rhythms to create a modern yet timeless sound rooted in classic metal, hard rock, and shred guitar.
The band first gained attention through a series of independently released singles and EPs between 2020 and 2023, showcasing their signature fusion of melody, technical precision, and relentless groove. In late 2023, Firstborne recorded their debut full-length album “Lucky” with acclaimed producer Machine (Clutch, King Crimson, Crobot).
Guitarist Myrone explains how the album came together:
“When Chris, Girish, and I got connected in 2019 I said my number one goal in life was to get us all in the same room to jam. Four years later not only did we get in the same room, we went to Machine’s barn in Texas for a month to create 10 piping hot metal jams for the whole world to enjoy. I had written around 150 song ideas before stepping in the studio, and we ended up using none of them. What you hear on the record was entirely written and recorded in Texas”.
“Lucky” will see a release on July 18th, 2025, via M-Theory Audio and pre-orders are available now for limited-edition colored vinyl, CD and Digital.
