About the Band
Based in Kohima, Nagaland, Fifth Note is a new band from the Italy based Frontiers label. The group was started in the middle of 2019 evolving from the original foundations of a Christian themed band. They also draw most of their musical influences from the secular progressive metal and classic old school hard rock genres of music. While progressive music can run the risk of being self-indulgent, Fifth Note manage to offer a sort of primal urge in their music still offering very catchy melodies and a very polished sound.
Like many other bands of the genre, Fifth Note started out performing cover songs over the years including songs from label mates such as Stryper and Circus Maximus and also bands such as Dream Theater, Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Journey and so on. Nevertheless, with the growing interest in original music and demand from the fans, the band released their original ‘Misfortune’ and ‘Here We Are’ singles in the year 2021. With those original songs released, the band gained prominence and garnered attention from music enthusiasts, inspiring them to explore new horizons.
With widespread support from around the state and beyond, the band has ascended to greater heights, gracing various stages with their live performances and winning several awards in their homeland, solidifying a substantial and dedicated fan base in their country.
Their original music piqued the interest from the Frontiers label which works hard to scout the most exciting musical talents around the globe and it resulted in “Here We Are”, the band’s debut full length album. The record also includes Fifth Note debut singles and a superbly crafted set of hard rock songs with a progressive metal edge. The band is active in promoting good time music with no use of drugs, alcohol or things of that sort.
