FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Performs For Troops In Kuwait (Video)

March 14, 2012

Las Vegas metallers FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH played a handful of shows for the troops earlier this month in Kuwait. Video footage of a couple of the performances can be seen below.

When FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH travelled to Iraq in February 2010 to perform for U.S. troops in what was the band's first visit to the country, singer Ivan Moody said. "We just wanted to come over here and give them a piece of life.

"We know that it becomes monotonous out here — it's a seven-day-a-week job — and we really wanted to break it up and make them feel human, and I hope that we gave them that.

"We've spent a lot of hard time on the road, as well as you guys have earning the freedom that we have. It's the least we can do."

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will hit the road in the U.S. and Canada for a spring tour that will kick off on March 23 in Las Vegas.

The group was last seen headlining the Share The Welt tour as the group continues to support its third studio album, 2011's "American Capitalist".

"American Capitalist" debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling 91,000 copies in its first week of release. Both the chart and sales numbers were career highs for the group.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH fans are able to get the brand new cover art for "American Capitalist". It features an illustration of the group's ubiquitous "mascot," Knucklehead, over the backdrop of Times Square in New York City.

The new Knucklehead illustration only replaces the regular edition album version of "American Capitalist", while the deluxe edition artwork remains the same.

"American Capitalist" was released as a standard CD, and a limited-edition deluxe CD format complete with special packaging plus second disc containing a number of exclusive remixes, including one for "Under And Over It". Meanwhile, the iTunes version carries the bonus track "The Tragic Truth".
