5R6 (Alternative Prog)

Guys, just drop me a line if you need any additional info about 5R6.

Thanks.

Scott from Oresund Space Collective wrote a review for a gig in Copenhagen where we were supporting his band and Stoned Jesus

BTW, it contains a short video.

Thanks.

Here is more recent bio, not to exhaustive though:

5R6 is a Ukrainian progressive rock band. 

Their first EP “Knots & Spirals” was released in October 2010. Musically it was highly influenced by the Seattle scene of 90’s and progressive bands such as Tool, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Mastodon etc.

In august 2012 the band released their second EP “+6.5 And Brighter”, which is more proggy and even somewhat psychedelic, it has incorporated more classic rock, 90’s post-hardcore and stoner rock influences, rather than metal. The band’s intention was to create a unique sound and solid compositions remaining within heavy rock to give food for a listener imagination making his/her limbs and head moving to the rhythm while his/her mind taking a transcendental trip to the inner and outer space. 

In September 2012 5R6 went to their first European tour with Stoned Jesus, a stoner-rock band from Kiev. Currently, 5R6 is preparing to record first full-length album.

5R6 are:
Igor Zubko – vocals, guitars
Kirill Brener – guitars
Eugene Zinchenko – bass
Dmitry Zinchenko - drums

I hope this will help.

 

The procedure is that one of the three pre-evalution guys who regularly monitor this forum will listen to your music via the link you have kindly provided and decide firstly whether the music is 'prog', and if so, what the most suitable progarchives sub genre would be for the band to be added into. They would then pass the suggestion on to a team of (usually four) members with expertise in that particular sub genre, who would also listen to your stuff and vote either 'yes', 'no' or maybe 'move' to a more appropriate sub genre if they agree that the music is prog, but not really suitable for their own sub genre. A majority vote 'yes' means that the artist is 'cleared', and from thereon in they are just awaiting a bio to be written and their official releases collated in order for a page to be constructed for them, and the band or artist finally added.

 

This can sometimes take time - especially for the more obscure acts, and the process can be much speeded up if the band/artist actually supply a bio themselves, which can then be given a minor 'tweak' and used.

 

As for your music - I don't see any problem at all - this sounds like out and out Prog Metal to me, and the addition should be a breeze (Prog Metal team is one of the quicker ones on here).

 

One of the New Suggestions team will probably pick this thread up later on today and let you know whether you have passed the first stage of the process.
