Архив новостей | Русская версия
FIRSTBORNE, the band featuring Grammy Award-winning artist Chris Adler and MEGADETH bassist James LoMenzo, has released the official music video for its latest single, "Intercontinental Champions". The clip was built on the Unreal engine by video game artist Matt Burdette.
Commented FIRSTBORNE guitarist Myrone: "Believe it or not, this is NOT a rendering. We look like this now. We're ready for cyberspace, the metaverse, Goldeneye DLC and whatever comes next!"
Added Burdette: "With the power of Unreal Engine 5 we were able to move the needle forward in next generation rendering and animation — further blurring the definition of reality. FIRSTBORNE has never looked so real, today is a watershed moment in graphics, video games and music."
As was the case with "Bad Things" and "One Of A Kind", which were made available in September, and "Dead Rats", which came out in October, "Intercontinental Champions" was independently produced by the band — also featuring soft-shred pioneer Myrone (guitar) and rising-star vocalist Girish Pradhan — with mixing and mastering by longtime collaborator Gene "Machine" Freeman.
When "Bad Things" and "One Of A Kind" were released, Adler had this to say about the new singles and the trajectory of FIRSTBORNE: "We've made good use of the time. For the next year-plus we will be releasing a song a month, starting here and now with a one-two-punch.
"I'm thrilled to be in a creative partnership that can do just about anything. Feels like playing in 'God Mode' on Guitar / Band Hero. It's a passion project and it's fun for us to share. Dig in. Or don't. See you next month!"
Myrone added about the ethos of the group: "No Labels, No Management, NO GODS, NO MASTERS!!!!"
FIRSTBORNE's self-titled debut EP came out in 2020 and marked Adler's first dedicated band release since his departure from MEGADETH and LAMB OF GOD.
"Firstborne" included five songs and two lyric videos. The EP represented several years of dedicated introspection and refined effort to the idea of a heavy and positive message.
