"Here we are" CD by Fifth Note

Fifth Note is a new signing of the Frontiers label and another band from the northeastern region of India, based in Kohima, the capital of the state of Nagaland. The group was formed in mid-2019 and has evolved from its original foundation as a Christian band, although it now draws most of its musical influences from secular genres such as progressive metal and classic hard rock. While progressive music runs the risk of being self-indulgent, Fifth Note manages to provide a primal instinct in their music that still offers highly catchy melodies and a sophisticated sound.

Like many other bands in the genre, Fifth Note began by performing cover songs over the years (including songs by label mates like Stryper and Circus Maximus). However, with the growing interest in original music and demand from fans, the band released their original singles 'Misfortune' and 'Here We Are' in 2021. These original songs brought the band recognition among music lovers and inspired them to continue and propelled the band to reach higher levels with support from across the country and beyond. The band has performed live at numerous events and programs and has won several awards, gaining a substantial following in their country.

Their original music caught the attention of the Frontiers label, which works hard to discover the most exciting musical talents around the world, and thus 'Here We Are' was created: the band's first full-length album. The album also includes Fifth Note's debut singles and a series of excellently crafted hard rock songs with a progressive metal edge that is not too far from what their peers About Us presented on their celebrated debut album in recent months. The band actively advocates for good music without consuming drugs, alcohol, or similar substances.
