5ive

Two-member experimental group from Boston, Massachusetts, described in the DeBaser review as formed/born in 1998. Their self-titled debut was released on Tortuga Records (1998) and is characterized by long, ritualistic drone/desert-metal pieces and tribal percussion.

Mr.Moustache's review celebrates 5ive's self-titled 1998 debut as an intense, ritualistic experiment in drone-desert metal. The review praises the two-member band's long, immersive tracks and evocative use of distortion and tribal rhythms. The album is presented as challenging, ecstatic, and richly detailed.

For:Fans of experimental, drone and desert metal; listeners who enjoy long immersive compositions and ritualistic sonic textures.
