New Five Finger Death Punch Album and Tour


09/17/2009
.
(PR) Five Finger Death Punch are about to unleash their highly anticipated new album, War Is the Answer, on September 22nd, and will kick off their headlining SHOCK AND RAW Tour that same day. Before leaving for tour, Death Punch will start with a sold-out, hometown record release party and show in Las Vegas on Friday, September 18th at Wasted Space in the Hard Rock Casino.

In addition to the standard version of the album, 5FDP has also packed in some amazing extras into a deluxe edition of the album including a bonus DVD, locker poster, decal, special digi-pack artwork, two bonus tracks, and a fan club membership.

5FDP's legions of fans propelled their first album, The Way Of The Fist, to sell over 350,000 copies. With the new album and tour, Death Punch are ready to cement their reputation as modern icons of heavy music.

Guitarist and founding member Zoltan Bathory relates, "This band is really the 'people's band' - we are able to do what we're doing because of the undying support of our fans. We know this, and we put every ounce of energy we got into this to make sure we return the favor."

Recorded in their hometown of Las Vegas, War Is The Answer was produced by the band and Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne), and was mixed by Randy Staub (Metallica, Motley Crue, Nickelback). The record evolves the band's already mature sound ranging from the undeniable melodies in "Hard to See" to the brutally nihilistic "Burn It Down" � destined to please fans both new and old. As the hottest new metal artist to emerge in the last two years, 5FDP are poised for stratospheric heights with War Is The Answer: "Hard To See," their first single from War, is a smash hit at Active Rock radio and the brand new acclaimed video (directed by Matt Silverman) can be seen here. 5FDP are indisputably one of the most popular heavy metal bands today.
