   About Colony 5
 

And a new album was announced despite several rumors of Colony 5 splitting up or not releasing anything else. It was planned for early that year but this fourth album being their uncompromising, fun album they continued working on it until November and set a early 2008 releasedate instead. The new single “Knives” is being released inside 2007 though. And it's promising an album with heavier sounds, dirtier sound and less commercial melodies, but with the ever present soul of C5 always being there.
C
olony 5 also changes their GermanyAustriaSwitzerland record company, signing a deal with Infacted Recordings. They also work closely with Epicentre Booking for their shows in mainly Germany.

 

2006 is a silent year, the only release is ReFixed which is the FIXED album remixed by Amplifier straight through.
Colony 5 also did not perform so much this year, playing only Arvikafestivalen and some gigs around Norway, Denmark and Germany.

 

Colony 5 has now been a duo for over a year and now it's time for the first real release. The first single "Plastic World" was unleashed in Feb/March, it is taken from the album FIXED which is then released the 18th of April worldwide.
It is a more diverse album than before still within the regulated formula we've worked with since the very beginning of Colony 5. It's dance floor friendly, melodic and emotional.
This time Colony 5 wins a SAMA award for best song with "Plastic World"

 

2004 was a good year for Colony 5 despite only releasing a singles collection "Colonisation" featuring three new songs (the single was supposed to be a double A-side called "Fate/Accelerate" with Science as a B-side but they opted to released it exclusively on  "Colonisation". They also visited some new countries (Russia and Mexico for example) but kept the amount of gigs down to focus on the new album. But the work put in to C5 in 2004 didn't become visible until the beginning of 2005 when the release of the new single "Plastic World" and the album "FIXED".
Colony 5 also shot a video for "Plastic World" as a low budget but humorous minimalistic adventure.  Colony 5 again got nominated for a SAMA award, this time looses out to Statemachine.

 

On the 31st of March Colony 5 releases their new single "Black" with three new songs on it. It's followed by the second album "Structures" on the 19th of May. On the album there is also a video for the song "Black" that got some respectable air-time on Onyx.tv
Colony 5 are also nominated at SAMA as Best Newcomer, but sadly looses to Melody Club.
During the summer Colony 5 plays the big festivals, Arvikafestivalen, Wave Gotik Treffen and M'era Luna. They also appear on the NBC Giga channel as special guests and did an interview for the program Starsearch on Onyx.tv
The fall is time for more production and a much needed vacation for all. Sadly it also becomes more than a vacation for Johan who leaves the band 1. Nov.

P-O and Kalnins keep the name and works on.

 
Colony 5 releases their first own CD in the form of the EP "Colony 5" followed by the full length CD "Lifeline".
In the summer of 2002 Magnus Kalnins joins the band and C5 releases the second single, "Follow Your Heart", with three brand new songs.
 
Johan Nilsson joins the band in March. In April C5 performs live in a contest called "Quest for Fame". Most of the demo synthbands from Sweden participates in the contest and Colony 5 ends up at second place right after Michigan.
In July C5 appears with the song "Stay Young" on the Compilation Monument 7 (released by Powerspot / Memento Materia).
In August Magnus Löfdahl leaves the band.
 
C5 appears with the song "Liquid Love" on two compilations: Monument 6 (released by Powerspot / Memento Materia) and Shadow Dancing released by A Diffrent Drum.
 
Colony 5 is founded by P-O Svensson and Magnus Löfdahl in March. The whole project is more of a hobby than a serious music band, and the music is more or less influenced by synth pop. After a while the music changes and the sound becomes harder and faster.
