Five Finger Death Punch spreading an important message with their video for Wrong Side of Heaven

August 15, 2014

Five Finger Death Punch have always been one of my favorite bands. They are not only a band of great musicians but some of the nicest, caring guys in the industry. They were recently featured as one of our Aftershock Festival Bands of the Day as they will be making stop from their co-headlining tour with Volbeat next month for the festival. They have recently released their video for Wrong Side of Heaven and are hard at work delivering an important message about the staggering statistics of returning veterans afflicted and living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Check out the emotionally driven video and truly poignant message here: The video has surpassed a million views in less than weeks time. One thing is certain, Five Finger Death Punch not only wanted to make everyone aware of the situation, but they are doing more than that by insuring that people join forces to assist these veterans. In tandem with the video’s premiere, the group ignited a special crowd-funding campaign for a jersey entitled 5FDP4VETS “No One [Read More]

Five Finger Death Punch is our Monster Energy Aftershock Festival Featured Band of the Day

July 21, 2014

Today our spotlight is on a band that delivered one of the best sets at last year’s Aftershock Festival. We are pleased to announce the return of Five Finger Death Punch and they are our Featured Band of the Day. Their performance was awesome last year. These guys came out with adrenaline running through their veins and they did not let up on their fierce energy. The crowd was intense and Ivan had control of them from the front of the pit to the very back of the crowd. His magnetic drew them all in as they were then treated to the spectacular guitar shredding by Jason Hook and Zoltan Bathory. But then you couldn’t help but watch the beard, the man himself, Chris Kael, bassist extraordinaire. Then you couldn’t help but look back and see the ever smiling Jeremy Spencer who just KICKS ASS on the drums and doesn’t miss a beat. He is always so damn happy and looks like he is having a hell of a time, they all do. These guys truly [Read More]

Five Finger Death Punch release video for “House of the Rising Sun”

March 24, 2014

One of our favorite bands, Five Finger Death Punch have released their new video for their cover of “House of the Rising Sun”. It is awesome and one thing is for sure,, when 5FDP do something, they always do it with a 150% passion. One of the reasons, I love this band so much. The Mad Max style video was filmed in the high deserts of Nevada and was directed by the band’s guitarist Zoltan Bathory in conjunction with Thought Pirates Film’s Brian Neal. Zoltan explains, “The song’s lyrics are about gambling and drinking and we wanted to recreate those gun swinging outlaw poker scenes familiar from classic western movies, however I just couldn’t see us riding horses in the video so we shifted eras and went for a Mad Max-like post apocalyptic vibe with the cars and the bikes we ride anyway. We didn’t want any performance footage; the plan was to make the song sort of a soundtrack to a short story.” Five Finger Death Punch have had great success with their two-part masterwork, THE WRONG SIDE [Read More]

Five Finger Death Punch Tribute Video and Countdown to Vol. 2

November 5, 2013

First off, I may need to remind you we are 2 WEEKS away from the release of Five Finger Death Punch‘s album, “The Wrong Side of Heaven and The Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2”. It is set for a November 19th release via Prospect Park in North America and Eleven Seven Music elsewhere. You can still pre-order your copy here. They have been garnering such great success from Volume 1 and I can’t wait to see what Volume 2 brings. They played at the Aftershock Festival in September and were absolutely amazing. At Aftershock, these guys come out with adrenaline running through their veins and they do not let up on their fierce energy. The crowd was intense and Ivan had control of them from the front of the pit to the very back of the crowd. His magnetic drew them all in as they were then treated to the spectacular guitar shredding by Jason Hook and Zoltan Bathory.
