The PreOrder starts!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Following the release of their current single \"AfterLife\"<\/strong><\/a> , Five Finger Death Punch<\/strong>announce their new album of the same name for August 19, 2022. AfterLife<\/em><\/a> is available for pre-order everywhere now<\/a>. The band is also releasing \"IOU\"<\/strong><\/a> today, another track from the upcoming album including a Lyric video<\/a>that offers a sneak peek into the Metaverse project the band has been working on. The interactive virtual world was developed with the almost photorealistic Unreal Engine and will be an extension of the existing Fan Club App<\/a> in the near future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"AFTERLIFE<\/strong><\/em> was hands down my favorite record to make\u201d says 5FDP<\/strong>-guitarist Zoltan Bathory<\/strong> and adds: \u201cIt is our ninth album so at this point, we have legions of loyal fans, and our signature sound is more than established. It became its own island, our ground zero we operate from and we can always come back to. So when we started this record, there was an excitement of impending musical adventures, we knew we could step away as far as we wanted to, there was a freedom of truly \u201canything goes.\u201d This resulted in an album that is way more diverse than our previous ones, while it feels more unified, because there is a framework of overarching stories in Ivan\u2019s lyrics and interconnecting musical motifs between songs. It was not planned as a concept album, but we were so hyper-focused on painting a complete picture, it somehow feels like one\u2026 We are very proud of it and are just as impatient as the fans waiting for the release, can\u2019t wait to share it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AfterLife<\/strong> is the highly anticipated follow-up to their 2020 album F8<\/strong> which reached #1 on rock charts worldwide<\/strong> and entered the Top 10 mainstream charts<\/strong> in the U.S., Austria, Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K. and more (#2 on the official German charts, #2 in Austria and #2 in Switzerland). AfterLife<\/strong> will be available on CD, digital, vinyl and cassette. The full tracklisting for the new album can be found below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last month, the band released the first official single and title track from their upcoming studio album. Loudwire called it a \"hard-hitting rock radio gem you'd hope for from 5FDP<\/strong>, starting with a solitary atmospheric guitar lick, giving way to bullet-like drums and a fleshed out full band assault brimming with energy and a pulsing low end.\" Their longtime producer, Kevin Churko<\/strong> (Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Skillet) once again handled the work for the Las Vegas band's ninth and arguably most diverse album to date. The lyric video for \"AfterLife\" can be seen HERE<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The band also recently announced their upcoming U.S. headline tour<\/strong> , which will be hosted by Live Nation<\/strong> . The tour kicks off on August 19 and will feature over 30 shows. Joining the band will be rock icons Megadeth<\/strong><\/a>In addition, label mates The HU<\/strong><\/a> and Fire From The Gods<\/strong><\/a> will complete the line up, promising a diverse night of intense heavy rock music.
