French heavy psych/stoner rock trio Greyborn to release new EP »Scars« on March 8th; watch music video for latest single »Ravenous«!

Limoges, France based heavy psych/stoner rock trio Greyborn is gearing up to release their new EP »Scars« on March 8th, 2024.

The first single »Ravenous« is available now on all major streaming platforms!

»Leeches« and a second EP planned for 2024, »Scars«. Leeches and scars, weaving a timeline and a causality between the themes of these two EPs. With »Scars«, we continued shaping our music, led by the search for some kind of balance between crushing heaviness, contemplative violence, epic melodies, hypnotic atmospheres sometimes bleak, sometimes radiant.

Matthieu Giordano from The Heavy Chronicles reviewed »Scars«, writing: “The trio’s music is getting more intense with the massive and dirty sound of this second EP. All heaviness and rage, more dislocated but still as refined, it’s »Leeches«’ gifted and careless little brother. More granular and much more in tune with its spontaneity and stoner origins, this second release turns all the knobs to 11.”

»Scars« is about things that leave a mark on us or hurt us forever, how we’re sometimes a part of it, and how we can assimilate these marks in order to grow. It deals with the path to healing, to a resignation that can be either sweet or sour. Another dizzying subject addressed in the EP is our vacuity and the unconscious efforts we deploy to be able to ignore it. We choose causes, fights to give our all to so we don’t feel the void, so we feel alive. There can therefore only be use in DOING things, fully submerging into them because they are our only reality.

What could make more sense then, than to continue on a DIY path for this 2nd EP, recording and mixing our own creations again, before releasing them through F2M Planet, a local label self-managed by musicians? For the imagery of »Scars«, it also felt natural to call upon artist Frédéric Chhim, who shapes materials as well. Film photographs printed onto fragments of clay make a puzzle whose very goal is to be created, not reassembled.
