Five Finger Death Punch (FFDP or 5FDP for the hardcore fans) is the archetypal band everyone loves to hate. Nonetheless, their fanbase continues to grow album after album. Their frontman, guitarist Zoltan Bathory, is a fervent advocate of the pro-gun movement and has supported Donald Trump on numerous occasions - something that’s made the five musicians a point of contention across America. The band took a stand against wearing masks in the middle of the pandemic with their video for the single Living the Dream in 2020. The band’s redneck attitude is as much about metalcore as it is about stadium choruses, all wrapped up in a layer of bling made in Las Vegas, their hometown. With such a pedigree, it’s not surprising that each new release divides opinion.
Nothing stops FFDP; not even death. Quite the contrary in fact. Having closely brushed against the reaper’s robe, two band members—Zoltan Bathory and singer Ivan Moody—decided to focus on this subject, transforming their last studio production into a concept album, something unheard of until that point. This record uses the same basic recipe: the opening single, ‘Welcome To The Circus’, alternates big metal riffs and catchy choruses, whilst the tracks ‘Afterlife’ and ‘Pick Up Behind You’ feature melodic vocals that instantly evoke a time when neo-metal reigned supreme on the American airwaves. The polished compositions and production also bring the band’s new soloist, Andy James, into the spotlight. He replaced Jason Hook who quit the band after 11 years.
If you trek to the centre of this saturated jungle that’s alive with FM vocals, you’ll find the band rubbing shoulders with trap rhythms on ‘Judgment Day’, which leans towards current urban music but without the auto-tune. Five Finger Death Punch will hardly surprise its audience despite the discreet musical experimentation that they’ve dotted here and there. However, this album confirms that they’re still a huge machine that was born to perform live and get crowds moving. Though it might seem to lack spontaneity, their music is perfectly conceived and is guaranteed to get fists pumping and heads banging. © Chief Brody/Qobuz
