Hallelujah! This album is the final piece of the puzzle which was started in March 2020 with the launch of Ignorance is Bliss. At the time, the only thing bands could do was write new material; creativity was riding high back then and indeed, has carried through to 2025. The intention was never to write and record five albums back-to-back, but the creative juices have continued to flow thick and fast.
I like to think we have both developed and refined our sound along the way, and the reviews we’ve had are very complimentary in that department. The band is very proud of 5, and collectively, we consider it to be the best album in our run of five. It contains ballads, quick riffs, mid-tempo, quirky, blues-crunch and many other diverse elements which usually make up a Nightblade album.
5 will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we hope you guys love it too!
