CG5 RETURNS WITH EPIC MINECRAFT ROCK OPERA “HOLD THE MINE”

The viral music creator returns to his pixelated roots with an ambitious, guitar-driven saga inspired by the Minecraft universe.

After four years away from Minecraft-inspired music, top-charting artist CG5 is making a powerful return to the blocky universe with his latest project: a sweeping rock opera titled “Hold The Mine.”

The brand-new single dropped May 9th, riding the wave of excitement sparked by the recent Minecraft movie.

“This isn’t just a comeback single—it’s a full-scale musical adventure,” says CG5.  “With big emotions, big guitars, and a storyline that hits home for any Minecraft fan, I wanted to create something that felt like the game itself: immersive, unpredictable, and deeply personal.  The movie reminded me how many people Minecraft has impacted, and I knew it was the perfect time to go all out.”

“Hold The Mine” is now available on all major streaming platforms accompanied by a music video on CG5’s official YouTube channel.
