Official press release:
Solid State is thrilled to welcome French metal band Sunborn to the label roster.
The band shares the video for glitchy yet moody battering ram of a new single “Infinity Pool”. Watch below and stream it here.
Be forewarned, though. It might haunt your dreams and replay in your mind when you close your eyes. The band’s vocalist Lino Chesnel says:
“The song is a haunting take on emotional isolation, disconnection, and the quiet paralysis of watching life move forward without you. This track captures the surreal feeling of existing inside your own enclosed world: Suspended between reflection and reality, unable to fully connect with the lives unfolding around you. ‘Infinity Pool’ explores what it means to remain emotionally stranded. There’s a constant tension between longing and surrender, a desire to break free colliding with the fear that nothing will ever truly shift.”
Chesnel continues:
“At its core, it is about my own experience of dissociation in a hyperconnected world, but also searching for meaning inside the echo chamber of your own thoughts. I think that’s something a lot of people experience but struggle to put into words.”
Sunborn hail from Montpellier, in the south of France. This group of adventurous musicians aims to blend unconventional influences by bridging the gap between digital and analog art while embracing modern sounds.
Thus, Sunborn shine a new light on what is sonically possible.
At the heart of Sunborn’s songwriting is melody. Whether drawing from the crushing intensity of Knocked Loose or the infectious global rhythms of Bad Bunny, the band approaches music without boundaries, blending influences from every corner of the musical spectrum into something uniquely their own. Their vision is simple yet ambitious: To bridge the gap between violence and harmony in the most innovative way possible.
Over the past year, Sunborn have continued to build momentum through powerful live performances, with standout moments including their successful headline tour in January and a nationwide support run across France alongside Resolve.
The road ahead marks a new chapter for the band. Following a summer packed with festival appearances, Sunborn will join acclaimed Nordic outfit Atlas for an extensive UK and European tour this September. At the same time, the band is preparing to unveil the most expansive and ambitious version of their sound to date — pushing its artistic vision further than ever before while remaining true to the emotional core that defines their music.
For Sunborn, the past is a source of inspiration, but the future is where their story truly begins.
