FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH ANNOUNCE JULY 23 FOR FIRST OF TWO NEW STUDIO ALBUMS IN 2013

To share this release: 03 May 2013 (Toronto, ON) - Five Finger Death Punch has announced the release of their fourth and fifth studio albums, through Prospect Park/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The first of these as-yet untitled releases will be available July 23 with the second scheduled for this fall. First single, “Lift Me Up”, will be at radio May 13th at 9am EST and available via digital retailers the following day. Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory reveals, “We came off the road after a couple of great years of touring and we were really amped up to write the fourth record. Everybody was in the right headspace and the band is tighter than ever so it was a perfect storm. We jumped in headfirst and found ourselves 12-13 songs deep fairly quick but were still coming up with better and better material so we looked at each other and said…. Ok why stop there?… let’s keep going. Once we passed the 24th song we knew we’re going to have to do a double album. We had this massive amount of music that’s very dear to us, possibly the best material this band has ever created. At that point there was no way to decide which songs to leave off the album. So we made the decision to release them all.” Five Finger Death Punch is among the more significant bands of recent metal history, playing sold out shows, headlining prestigious festivals and commanding an army of die-hard fans across the globe. In June, the band will return to Europe for a tour of major festivals including: Sweden Rock, Germany’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park, and the U.K.’s Download Festival at Donington Park,  concluding the run with a performance at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Ceremony in London.  The band’s last two albums, American Capitalist (2011) and War is the Answer (2009), are both certified gold in Canada.
