The Limoges-based heavy rock trio GREYBORN has signed with Mrs. Red Sound for the release of their album “Insoluble” this fall. They've unveiled the first single with an accompanying music video: “Cold Metal Bowels.”
The cold, disillusioned heavy rock of the trio GREYBORN is being released as a full-length album for the very first time! After two brilliant EPs, the band has signed with Mrs Red Sound and announced the release of their album “Insoluble” on November 20, 2026. We’re unveiling the first music video from the album for the track “Cold Metal Bowels.”
A major milestone in GREYBORN’s history, the new album “Insoluble” marks a lineup change: drummer-vocalist Théo Jude has traded his drums for a guitar. The project takes on a whole new depth and seems to reveal even greater potential.
Sonically, GREYBORN skillfully navigates the boundary between different styles without ever wavering or veering into nonsense. The solid heavy foundation—at times doom, at times psychedelic, and even metal—is highlighted by clear, ’90s-style vocals. “Insoluble” strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity, between impact and atmosphere. Themes of the ego, of letting go of oneself and others, of disappearance, and of fading away are very present throughout the album.
“Insoluble” was recorded by Théo Jude and Guillaume Barrou, assisted by Thomas Marchand and Alexis Bardet, and mixed by Théo Jude. Mastering was handled by Thibault Chaumont of Deviant Lab.
Much like the album it represents, GREYBORN’s track “Cold Metal Bowels” straddles genres, featuring clear, very pop-rock-style ’90s vocals but purely stoner instrumentation. The disillusionment is palpable and comes through in the meticulous crafting of atmospheres and themes, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. The apparent coherence is never quite what it seems.
Guitarist-vocalist Théo Jude explains: “In Greyborn, we want to find our balance between pop and "metal", between simplicity and complexity, between directness and atmosphere, melody and rhythm. Instinctively, the theme that emerged for ‘Cold Metal Bowels’ is that of emptiness. Like many people, I feel trapped in a society and a system that I don’t understand but of which I am inevitably a part. To try to portray this lack of faith, this disillusionment, this feeling of being trapped with no possible escape, Seb and I decided to depict lonely characters, lost in everyday settings that have been rendered empty and strange.”
The music video was directed by Seb Antoine.

GREYBORN emerged in 2021 from the space between light and darkness, somewhere in the cold, damp, mineral-rich landscape of Limoges. Led at the time by a drummer-vocalist, the band forged its own balance, shaping its raw materials: crushing heaviness, contemplative violence, epic melodies, and hypnotic atmospheres that were at times gloomy, at times radiant.
“Leeches,” their first EP released in 2022, led them to play about thirty shows in France with Mondo Generator, Nebula, My Diligence, Pogo Car Crash Control… “Leeches” was followed by a second EP in March 2024, “Scars.” “Leeches” and then “Scars” weave a chronology and a causal link between the themes of these two EPs. Matthieu Giordano of The Heavy Chronicles listened to “Scars” and wrote that “the trio’s music intensifies with this second EP, which has a massive, raw sound. Full of heaviness and rage, more disjointed yet just as refined as ever, it’s the gifted and carefree little brother to ‘Leeches.’ Grittier and far more unapologetic in its spontaneity and stoner roots, this second effort pushes all the knobs into the red.”
In 2025, drummer-vocalist Théo Jude became a guitarist-vocalist, and after a few shows that solidified the new lineup, GREYBORN recorded their debut album that fall. While retaining the influences of their previous EPs, “Insoluble” also reveals a darker, more melancholic, and aggressive side. It was released on November 20, 2026, via Mrs Red Sound (vinyl, digital) and F2M Planet (CD).
