History

[edit]

Formation, The Way of the Fist and Roberts' departure (2005–2009)

[edit]

Five Finger Death Punch was founded in 2005[1][2] by former U.P.O. bassist[1][3] Zoltan Bathory and drummer Jeremy Spencer, Zoltan deriving the band's name from classic martial arts cinema.[4] Bassist Matt Snell joined in early 2006.[1][5] Later that year, Bathory contacted former Motograter vocalist Ivan Moody, sending him some of the material the band had recorded and asked him to audition for the vocalist position.[1] Moody flew from his home in Denver Colorado to Los Angeles and quickly began recording material with the band.[6]

Jason Hook, who replaced guitarist Darrell Roberts in 2009

By the end of 2006, their debut album, The Way of the Fist had been recorded and entirely self-produced.[1] The album was recorded with Stevo "Shotgun" Bruno and Mike Sarkisyan and was mixed by guitarist Logan Mader.[1][7] After searching for a second guitarist, they found Caleb Bingham who played some shows with the band, but was later replaced by Darrell Roberts.[1][8] Shortly after recording the album, they signed a record deal with Firm Music, a branch of "The Firm".[1][9] On July 10, 2007, they released an EP, Pre-Emptive Strike exclusively through the American iTunes Store.[1][10] The album's lead single, "The Bleeding", was released on July 13, 2007.[11] The Way of the Fist was released on July 31, 2007.[12] The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 199 and was certified gold in 2011.[13]

From July 30 to September 2, 2007, the band went on their first major tour cycle as one of the supporting acts on Korn's Family Values Tour.[14] They were also a supporting act of the North American leg of Korn's Bitch We Have a Problem Tour from September 22 – October 27, 2007.[14] They were set to tour with Chimaira and All That Remains from January through March 2008, but due to singer Moody developing cysts on his vocal cords they were forced to pull out.[15] He made a full recovery and they began to tour again.[16] They supported Disturbed on their Indestructible US Tour from April through May 2008.[17]

The Way of the Fist was re-released on May 13, 2008, with 3 bonus tracks.[18] One of the bonus tracks, "Never Enough" was released as the album's second single on July 15, 2008.[19] Later that year they were a part of the 2008 Mayhem Festival playing the Jägermeister Stage.[20] The third single from The Way of the Fist, "Stranger Than Fiction" was released on September 17, 2008.[19] The Way of the Fist was released through Spinefarm Records in Canada on November 4, 2008,[21] and in Europe on January 19, 2009.[22] In January 2009, Darrell Roberts was rumored to have been fired;[23] the split was confirmed a few days later, and Roberts was replaced by guitarist Jason Hook.[24] They ended their support for their first album playing the main stage at the 2009 Download Festival.[25]

War Is the Answer (2009–2010)

[edit]

In May 2009, Five Finger Death Punch announced their second studio album, War Is the Answer.[26] The album was produced by Kevin Churko and mixed by Randy Staub.[27] The album debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200[28] and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.[29] The first single from the album, "Hard to See", was released on July 21, 2009.[30] To promote War Is the Answer, Five Finger Death Punch embarked on "The Shock and Raw" US Tour. Main support on the tour was provided by Shadows Fall, with additional support coming from Otep and 2Cents.[31] Upon completing the US run of the tour, Five Finger Death Punch then brought the Shock and Raw tour to Europe, finishing off with a run of dates in the UK. Main support for these dates was again Shadows Fall, and opening acts for the UK portion of the tour were Rise To Remain and Magnacult.[32]

The second single from War Is the Answer, "Walk Away", was released on November 2, 2009.[1] The album also spawned two UK-only singles, "Dying Breed", released on November 16, 2009,[33] and "No One Gets Left Behind", released on March 8, 2010.[34] During March 2010, Five Finger Death Punch traveled to Iraq and played 10 shows for the U.S. troops.[35] The band's cover of Bad Company's self-titled song was released as the fifth single from War Is the Answer on May 17, 2010.[36] On their way to perform at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park Zoltan Bathory, Matt Snell and Jeremy Spencer were detained by German police for alleged international weapons violations. After recognizing the event as a misunderstanding, German police released the band members and they appeared at both Rock im Park on June 4, 2010, and Rock am Ring June 6, 2010, as scheduled.[37]

Five Finger Death Punch also played the Maurice Jones Main Stage at the 2010 Download Festival on June 12, 2010.[38] While playing the song "Dying Breed", their set was cut due to too many people crowd surfing up to the stage.[39] They were allowed to play one final song, "The Bleeding".[40] They played the main stage at Mayhem Festival 2010 with Korn, Rob Zombie and Lamb of God from July 10 until August 14, 2010.[41] On August 17, 2010, they performed the songs "Bad Company" and "Hard to See" on the ABC show Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[42] On September 16, 2010, The band released "Far from Home" as the sixth single from War Is the Answer.[43] They supported Godsmack on their "The Oracle 2010" tour from October 3 – November 4, 2010.[44][45] The song, "Dying Breed" was featured on the soundtrack for Namco Bandai Games' remake of Splatterhouse, released on November 23, 2010.[46]

Got Your Six (2015–2016)

[edit]

On December 12, 2013, Five Finger Death Punch revealed in a radio interview that they had already begun working on a sixth studio album.[81] On January 14, 2015, Five Finger Death Punch announced US Spring headline tour dates from April 25 to May 9, 2015, and their intention to enter the studio to write and record a new album.[82] On May 2, 2015, the band released the title of their sixth album, Got Your Six as well as a teaser for a new song titled "Ain't My Last Dance" on their official Facebook page.[83] The album, which was slated for release on August 28, 2015, was later pushed back to September 4.[84][85] On May 19, 2015, the band announced a co-headlining North American Tour with Papa Roach to promote the upcoming album and were accompanied by In This Moment as special guests with support by From Ashes to New for the tour.[86][87][88] The band also performed on the main stage as part of Download Festival 2015.[89][90]

And Justice for None and Spencer's departure (2016–2019)

[edit]

On April 27, 2016, Billboard reported that Five Finger Death Punch's record label Prospect Park had filed a lawsuit against the band on April 21, 2016, for breaching their contract.[91] The basis of the claim cites that the band began working on a new album without Prospect Park's consent and will be working with Rise Records. In a recent interview, vocalist Ivan Moody has said he will be completing the current tour and leave the band at the end of 2017.[92] The next day however, an announcement was published on the official site of FFDP, where it was revealed, that rumors about Ivan's departure are false. According to the announcement, the vocalist plans to start a side project beside Five Finger Death Punch, which does not mean he has plans on leaving.[93][94]

However, during a concert in the Netherlands, Moody did not show up to perform the first song, which was sung by Tommy Vext, with Moody saying he was running "a little bit late". Vext also sang a second song during the set later in the evening while Moody walked off stage. During the show all of the members left the stage for long periods on several occasions, and Hook also threw his guitar down and walked offstage at one point. During the set, Moody said that "there is no other singer for Five Finger Death Punch", and then later said "This is my last show with Five Finger Death Punch" before making a slit-throat gesture.[95] Bathory shortly after the show tweeted that the events that transpired were "not a publicity stunt."[96]

The day after the show in Tilburg, Netherlands, the band announced a headline European tour with In Flames and Of Mice & Men in late 2017.[97] Later that same day, the band released a statement addressing what happened at the show via their Facebook page, stating that bands that tour as heavily as they do will "inevitably have a few derailments, but the train always keeps on moving", implying that all shows would proceed as planned and that Moody would remain as the band's frontman.[98] Ivan Moody subsequently checked himself into rehab and sat out the remainder of the tour. Tommy Vext filled in for Moody while he sought treatment.[99][100] On August 19, Ivan Moody returned to the stage at the Illinois State Fair, although just days prior it was still unknown if he would be taking the stage.[101]

In December 2017, it was announced that the band was working on their seventh studio album.[102] The album, And Justice for None was released May 18, 2018.[103] On December 21, 2017, the band released a video for their cover of "Gone Away" by The Offspring. The cover song was featured on Five Finger Death Punch's greatest hits album, A Decade of Destruction.[104][105] On April 5, 2018, the band released "Fake" as the lead single from And Justice for None.[106][107] On April 20, 2018, a second single was released, titled "Sham Pain".[108][109] A third single "When the Seasons Change" was released on May 4, 2018.[110][111]

For a Fall 2018 tour with Breaking Benjamin, Charlie Engen replaced Jeremy Spencer to allow him to undergo back surgery.[112] On December 18, it was announced that Spencer had departed the band permanently.[113] In June 2019, it was announced that Jeremy Spencer has continued the band's support of first responders and was sworn in as a reserve police officer in Indiana.[114]

Five Finger Death Punch have also worked with Brantley Gilbert, Brian May of Queen, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd to re-record a new version of Sheperd's song "Blue on Black". The proceeds from the recording support The Gary Sinise Foundation. While a cover of the song had already appeared on And Justice for None, this new version merged Sheperd's blues rock, Gilbert's country, May's classic rock and Five Finger Death Punch's mainstream rock styles.[115]

F8 and Hook's departure (2019–2021)

[edit]

On May 9, 2019, the band released a video announcing a "new record in the making".[116] The album, F8 was released on February 28, 2020.[117][118] The album's lead single, "Inside Out", was released on December 2, 2019.[119][120] "A Little Bit Off" was released as the second single in June 2020.[121][122][123] Both songs topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock songs.[124] On February 4, 2020, it was announced that lead guitarist Jason Hook was forced to miss the remaining shows of the European tour due to health issues. Andy James was named as substitute lead guitarist for the rest of the tour.[125] It was confirmed on October 12, 2020, that Hook officially left the band,[126][127][128] with James replacing him permanently.[128]

AfterLife (2021–present)

[edit]

In May 2021, it was announced that the band planned on recording their ninth album in 2022.[129][130] They will also make a 15th anniversary re-recording of their debut album, The Way of the Fist.[130] On April 12, 2022, the band released the title track from their ninth studio album, AfterLife.[131][132] On the same day, the band announced a U.S. tour with Megadeth, The Hu, and Fire from the Gods, set for August through October 2022.[131][132] On May 13, 2022, the band released the second single, "IOU". They also announced the release of their ninth studio album, AfterLife, which was released on August 19, 2022.[133] On June 9, 2022, the band released the third single, "Welcome to the Circus".[134] On July 8, 2022, the band released the fourth single, "Times Like These".[135]

The band toured across the U.S. at the end of 2022 with country rock artists Brantley Gilbert and Cory Marks serving as the opening acts.[136]

On January 12, 2024, the band announced the release of a digital deluxe edition of "AfterLife" which was planned to be released on February 9, but was delayed to April 5.[137][138]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Five Finger Death Punch's musical style has been described as heavy metal,[140][141][142][143][144] groove metal,[143][145][146][147] alternative metal,[148][149][150][151] hard rock,[152][153][154][155] nu metal,[156][157] thrash metal,[145] and arena rock.[118] Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote that Five Finger Death Punch's "instantly recognizable sound is comprised of equal parts melodic and meaty guitar riffs, fat vamps, catchy hooks, tight, flashy solos, and hard-grooving bass and drums".[151] Bathory described Five Finger Death Punch as "a straight-up heavy metal band with a hint of thrash metal—maybe a hint of the Euro stuff in there".[158] Five Finger Death Punch vocalist Ivan Moody's vocals alternate between screaming and clean singing.[151] The band has released successful ballads as well.[159]

Bathory cited Pantera, Voivod, Iron Maiden, Accept, W.A.S.P., and Yngwie Malmsteen as influences.[160][161] Ivan Moody cited vocalists such as Mike Patton, Phil Anselmo, Layne Staley and Lynn Strait as influences.[162] Moody credited the witty lyricism of Tool's Maynard James Keenan and Faith No More's Mike Patton as great inspirations.[163] The singer also said, "Pantera is one of our biggest influences".[164] Jeremy Spencer cited drummers such as Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan, Dave Grohl, Buddy Rich and Tommy Aldridge as influences.[165][166] Spencer also cited Prince and David Bowie as influences.[167]
