Five (stylized as V) is the fifth studio album by American rap rock band Hollywood Undead. It was released on October 27, 2017 through MDDN and BMG. It is the first album to not feature Matthew "Da Kurlzz" Busek who departed from the band in early 2017. It is also the first release for BMG Rights Management since they departed from Interscope Records, successor of A&M Octone Records, its first label they signed, after release of Day of the Dead. The album features guest vocal appearances from B-Real.

Background

Vocalist Johnny 3 Tears spoke about the album title, stating "We’re five brothers, and this is our fifth record. Nothing gets to the essence of the music like this number does. Numerology has a lot of power. When we said Five, it just made sense. The fact that we could all agree on one word codifies who we are."[1][2]
