No bells, no whistles...just straight-ahead bludgeoning metal. Playing a vintage style of thrash and groove, Five Finger Death Punch have been pummelling audiences since their inception in 2005.

Garnering their name from the Kill Bill movies, Five Finger Death Punch released their debut album ‘Way Of The Fist’ in 2007 bringing to life a brawling, burly metal monstrosity that flattens the listener more like a piece of heavy industrial machinery than a fist. Listening to ‘The Way of the Fist’ ”is the musical equivalent of going 10 rounds in a heavyweight fight. The record should come with a spit bucket and a cutman to patch up the listener between songs.” – Live Metal.net
A number of bands (Shadows Fall and Trivium foremost among them) have harkened back to metal’s glory days on their latest albums trying to resurrect the sounds of Slayer, Iron Maiden and early Metallica. “None has done it as brilliantly as Five Finger Death Punch.” – Blistering Magazine
This August see why Metal Edge calls Five Finger Death Punch “the sound of violent exhilaration, giving contemporary metal a belligerent shove in an exciting direction.”
