FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's 'Got Your Six' Certified Gold In U.S.

August 19, 2016

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's sixth album, "Got Your Six" was officially certified gold on August 8 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for sales in excess of 500,000 copies.

Effective February 1, the RIAA started including on-demand audio and video streams and a track sale equivalent in determining which releases get the coveted album awards, a change that follows a similar tweak in 2013 to include on-demand streams for its digital single award.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory told RockSverige.se that "Got Your Six" is "our best album. Best album in a way of… We always do pretty diverse records, and we believe that if you have just one color throughout the whole record, it's not really that interesting. So we usually have a ballad and then super-heavy songs and everything in between, so that's usually how we operate. And [on this record], everything got a little bit more focused, so nothing is really that light, and nothing is really that heavy. Yet it's still diverse enough. So I think we kind of found a tone we wanted where it's just one solid record of heavy metal and hard rock and doesn't really venture into weird places, so to speak. We always develop. Things are getting better… and lyrics as well. Most bands usually run out of juice by record five or six, and it's pretty amazing that we actually [haven't hit a creative wall]."

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH recently signed a North American deal with Rise Records. The band's first album with Rise, the BMG-owned rock label, will be released following the completion of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's obligation to its current label, Prospect Park.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH announced a new co-headlining arena tour with SHINEDOWN that will kick off on October 18 in Little Rock, Arkansas and run into December. SIXX A.M. and AS LIONS will be along as support.
