Formed in late 2014, The Five Hundred are the latest in technical, melodic metal from the rough streets of Nottingham, UK. Dealing in an array of down-tuned riffs and barbed hooks performed on beastly 8-string guitars, the band unleash an avalanche of crushing technical groove and belligerent aggression, broken up by some searing leads, haunting vocal melodies and devastating, earth-shaking breakdowns.

Formerly known as DAOR, the band have shared stages with groups ranging from metal media favourites Tesseract, Mushroomhead and All Shall Perish, through to brutal grind-fathers Napalm Death and industrial pioneers Fear Factory.
