5RAND have released their brand new album “Ordhalia”, out now via Art Gates Records.

To celebrate this milestone, the Italian band has unveiled the official video for the title track, a fierce centerpiece that captures the record’s darkest emotional core. “Ordhalia” expands 5RAND’s signature blend of modern metal intensity and cinematic melancholy, driven by angular riffs, relentless rhythms and Julia Elenoir’s striking dual vocals. The new album marks the band’s most ambitious and immersive work to date, offering a powerful journey through introspection, resilience and transformation.

“Ordhalia” was produced by Marco Mastrobuono (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth).

Album tracklist:

1. Lullaby for the Broken
2. Bloodlife
3. Ordhalia
4. The Nihilist (feat. M. Silvestro / Fear Factory)
5. Double Bind
6. Turbid
7. Ritual of Silence
8. Lethargy
9. Resurge in Death
10. Silent Line

Hailing from Rome, Italy, 5RAND builds on a punishing modern metal foundation, layered with the cinematic depth of melodic death metal, creating an intense and emotionally immersive soundscape. Fronted by the dynamic dual vocals of Julia Elenoir – shifting seamlessly from visceral growls to haunting clean melodies – the band has carved out a distinctive place in the modern metal scene.

Founded by Pierluigi Carocci (guitar), Acey Guns (bass), Andrea De Carolis (drums), and Elenoir (vocals), 5RAND first made waves with their debut “Sacred/Scared”, followed by the critically acclaimed “Dark Mother”. The band has since toured extensively across Europe, sharing the stage with iconic acts such as Dark Tranquillity, Vader, Butcher Babies, Infected Rain, and many others.

In 2025, 5RAND will unveil their most ambitious work to date – a bold new album mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, featuring a powerful guest appearance by the new Fear Factory vocalist, Milo Silvestro. This upcoming release signals a sonic evolution: darker, more introspective, and conceptually daring.

The band’s name, drawn from a chance encounter with a shaman and a South African 5 Rand coin, symbolizes unexpected paths and transformative experiences. Their music explores themes of identity, emotional detachment, philosophy, and human resilience, all woven together through a multidisciplinary artistic vision that spans both sound and visuals.

Line-up:

Julia Elenoir – Voice

5RAND unveil their brand new single “Turbid”, the third preview from their highly anticipated third album “Ordhalia”, out November 28th via Art Gates Records.

Stream it at THIS LOCATION.

“Turbid” is a furious hymn for those who still dare to dream when the world demands obedience.
The song portrays the loneliness of walking an unbeaten path, where every dream feels like a wound and every step cuts deeper. To chase meaning in a world built for comfort is to bleed, to fall, to rise again while others hope you stay down. “Turbid” is that defiance, the refusal to become numb, the rage of someone who chooses truth over apathy.
“Turbid” is a call to arms for the dreamers, the outcasts, and the broken a reminder that every scar is proof you tried to live your own way.

Musically, “Turbid” channels 5RAND’s signature modern metal intensity: angular riffs, visceral grooves and Julia Elenoir’s voice shifting between primal fury and aching clarity. It’s chaos sculpted into form; melodic yet merciless, an anthem for those who keep fighting even when everything around them whispers “give up”.

“Ordhalia” was produced by Marco Mastrobuono (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth).

Italian melodic death metal band 5RAND will release their long-awaited third album, “Ordhalia”, on November 28th, 2025 via Art Gates Records. The record was produced by Marco Mastrobuono (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth).

The video for the new single “Bloodlife” is out now – watch it HERE.

“Bloodlife” is a suffocating descent into the labyrinth of mental neuroses, where every breath feels stolen and every shadow weighs like stone. The song portrays life when anxiety and anguish become constant companions: signals from the body screaming that something is wrong, yet at the same time trapping us in an exhausting cycle. It is like breathing through a gas mask: survival is possible, but always at a cost.

The music video turns this torment into a visceral tableau where horror and reality collide. Frontwoman Julia Elenoir is imprisoned and tortured by a female figure in a gas mask, symbolizing that inner alarm which both suffocates and consumes. It is not just a representation, but a true visual exorcism… Raw, cinematic and deeply unsettling.

Musically, “Bloodlife” erupts with relentless riffs, hammering rhythms, and a growl that explodes like a buried scream, ferocious and desperate at once. 5RAND channel their modern metal roots into a vortex that is both devastating and intimate: a sound that chains, overwhelms and leaves no room to breathe.

Album tracklist:

1. Lullaby for the Broken
2. Bloodlife
