FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's Debut Album To Receive European Release Via SPINEFARM

September 29, 2008

Finland's Spinefarm Records will release "The Way of the Fist", the debut album from FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH — the Los Angeles-based band featuring ex-W.A.S.P. guitarist Darrell Roberts, former MOTOGRATER vocalist Ivan Moody (Ghost),ex-U.P.O. guitarist Zoltan Bathory, former DEADSETT bassist Matt Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer — in Europe in early 2009.

Headbanger's Blog recently conducted an interview with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH vocalist Ivan Moody about the success of the group's debut album, "The Way of the Fist", FFDP's love for mixed martial arts fighting, and the emotional and physical scars that have impacted the band's churning, melodic metal. You can stream the interview below.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's video for the song "The Way Of The Fist", which was helmed by the band's longtime friend, writer/director Sxully Essex (whose bread and butter is working on horror movies),can be viewed below.

According to Ivan Moody, "'The Way Of The Fist' is not quite a Shakespearian depiction of anger and revenge. This song was more my way of releasing all the pent up aggression I felt against some people who wronged me beyond the point of any kind of forgiveness or mercy."

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH has announced a full U.S. headlining tour this fall. They will be joined by IN THIS MOMENT, BURY YOUR DEAD, and ANOTHER BLACK DAY. The tour kicks off September 29 in Colorado Springs, and wraps up December 4 at the House of Blues in San Diego.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH recently released the song "Never Enough" as a free download to fans who have already bought or are now buying the band's debut album, "The Way Of The Fist". The track, which is also the band's new single, was written and recorded during some down time while singer Ivan Moody was recovering from a throat problem.

"The Way Of The Fist" was re-released on May 3 with "Never Enough" and two additional new tracks included.
