Five Finger Death Punch

Five Finger Death Punch might be a newcomer on the metal scene - the band formed in 2005 - but its members sure aren’t. The Los Angeles, California heavy metal supergroup boasts an all-star lineup, with frontman Ivan Moody (formerly of Motograter and Ghost Machine) growling over guitar riffs and double-bass drum by ex-Anubis Rising bassist Matt Snell and guitarist Zoltan Bathory, an well as 80’s shock rock band W.A.S.P. veterans Darrell Roberts (guitar) and Jeremy Spencer (drums). Just as intense as their name, Five Finger Death Punch (sometimes abbreviated to 5FDP) has risen to the top of the metal scene with their exciting, violent brand of thrash-infused metal.

Soon after its formation, Five Finger Death Punch secured a record deal with The Firm, Inc., the colossal Beverly Hills-based entertainment and promotions company behind the success of acts like Korn, Snoop Dogg, and Linkin Park. Contract firmly in hand, the band began recording material for their debut album as early as 2006, aided by famed Motley Crue producer Stevo "Shotgun" Bruno and former Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader. After over a year of hard work in studios from California to Oklahoma, Five Finger Death Punch finally released their freshman album The Way of The Fist in mid-2007, along with their three track Pre-Emptive Strike EP.

The Way of the Fist proved to be an immediate success, charting on the Billboard 200 and moving over 200,000 copies to date. The record - which drew lofty comparisons to metal stalwarts like Pantera and Shadows Fall - has so far produced two singles, 2007’s "The Bleeding" and 2008’s "Never Enough". Both singles have charted at #8 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks index, with the former remaining on the charts for a staggering 8 weeks.
