FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH kicked off the Share The Welt tour on October 16 in San Francisco. The trek is the first for new FIVE FINGER bassist Chris Kael, who replaced Snell earlier this year. Kael has played just a handful of gigs so far with the group but was looking forward to his first full tour: "It's very liberating to kind of free the ties of quote-unquote real life and go up there and, you know, play the role as the new bass player for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, playing in front of thousands upon thousands of people that are into you and you really feel that vibe," he said. "I'm real excited about it, finally glad to be quote-unquote living the dream, and it's a damn good feeling."

Joining FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH on the Share The Welt tour are ALL THAT REMAINS, HATEBREED and REV THEORY.
