'''Colony 5''' is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[futurepop]]/[[synthpop]]/[[Electronic body music|EBM]] band founded in March 1999. P–O Svensson started the band as a hobby with Magnus Löfdahl. The music style has changed with group membership and their sound became more consistent. They have toured through Europe – Denmark, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Poland, Norway, Estonia as well as the United States, and Mexico.

On 14 December 2007 Colony 5 released the first single from their then-upcoming full-length album, ''Buried Again''.<ref>[http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=27803_0_2_0_C Colony 5 releases "Knives" MCD], Side-line.com</ref> The "Knives" MCD showed off a harder sound as a first taste of what the album would sound like. ''Buried Again'' was released in February 2008 on Memento Materia for Scandinavia, Infacted for Germany and ArtOfFact in the USA.
