Five专辑介绍
Platinum recording artists HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD will release its fifth full-length album, "V" (Five), on October 27, 2017.
The number five holds a deep significance. We have five senses. Five points adorn a star. Five represents man in theology. For the five members of Hollywood Undead—Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog, Charlie Scene, Funny Man, and Danny—the digit perfectly encapsulates their fifth full-length offering—FIVE [Dove & Grenade Media/BMG].
For Hollywood Undead, the number five holds a deep significance. Humans have five senses, five points adorn a star, five represents man in theology. For the five members, the number perfectly encapsulates their fifth full-length offering — FIVE.
“We’re five brothers, and this is our fifth record,” outlines vocalist Johnny 3 Tears. “Nothing gets to the essence of the music like this number does. Numerology has a lot of power. When we said Five, it just made sense. The fact that we could all agree on one word codifies who we are. It also nods back to ‘No. 5’ from our first album, because it was our fifth song. Moreover, it hints at this secret society of fans supporting us for the past decade. The number is significant, and this is a significant moment for us.”
Infused with raw rap-like vocals and head banging riffs, the first single/video from their forthcoming album is “California Dreaming.”
“It dissects both sides of California,” guitarist J-Dog reveals. “You’ve got the glitz, glamour, sun, and surf. Then, you’ve got the super f–ked side of people not being able to afford rent, celebrities being a–holes, and that fake façade. We wanted to do a heavy song with a Red Hot Chili Peppers-esque chorus. It’s an old school vibe explored in a new way.”
Known for atomic live performances, the quintet regularly sells out shows around the world from Massachusetts and Miami to Moscow and Manchester. They’ve toured alongside the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, and Stone Sour in addition to notching features from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Revolver, and more.
The band is pleased to announce a new set of dates in support of V which will begin on September 30th at the Louder Than Life festival. Tickets and VIP Packages for all shows go on sale this Friday at 10AM local in each city. For all U.S. headline shows, Butcher Babies will serve as direct support.
