Five Finger Death Punch Surprised At Their Success

04/20/2011
. (Rock AAA) Five Finger Death Punch are working furiously on their fifth album but the success of their last release, War is the Answer, continues to take them by surprise with six top ten singles and sales still healthy. Guitarist Jason Hook recently took time out from their Las Vegas studio to explain to Bravewords.com how things have unfolded:

"We had a truly amazing year. We won a bunch of awards for 'best this' and 'best that'. War Is The Answer produced six top-ten singles; two of them went top five. We travelled our asses off and got to play in front of a sh*tload of cool people."

"You know, the truth is a couple of those songs were not released as singles. The radio stations put them into rotation on their own. I was watching the charts to track 'Walk Away', and I would see 'Bad Company' creeping up fast, before we even released it. Then I'd check back two weeks later and saw 'No One Gets Left Behind' at number 13! I was calling everyone, freaking out, saying, 'Do you guys realize we have three songs on the charts right now?'
