If you cure cancer there is an idiot somewhere who has a problem with that… If there is no self-reflection, if there is no empathy, if there is no common ground–then in the end everyone loses so there will be Justice For None…” The divide is so wide the screaming is so loud that no one is actually being heard and even if they were, everybody is offended by everything anyway. There is no dialogue, there is no conflict resolution, and everyone is launching rockets at each other, both verbal and actual. The album cover and title is a somewhat sarcastic metaphor of the state of the World Today. Zoltan Bathory, Guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch offers “We always explore and comment on current, socially relevant events and this album is no exception. We’re honored by them, so we do what we do: we made another Five Finger Death Punch record.” We’ve had a loyal fan base who empowered us to grow from side stages to arenas. We came along at a time when there wasn’t a lot of heavy stuff being played on radio. We definitely tried some new flavors on these songs. We always try to push ourselves and do slightly different things while sticking to our sound. “ And Justice For None is the next natural step in our evolution,” explains Spencer. A brash bloodletting of airtight riffing, muscular grooves, and seismic melodies, these 13 tracks see Five Finger Death Punch maintain that signature intensity, while getting ballsier, bolder, and bigger. This unbelievable story continues in 2018 with their seventh full-length the aptly titled, And Justice For None. Recognizing their staunch commitment to supporting the military, The Association of the United States Army honored the boys with the prestigious “Soldier Appreciation Award.” Moreover, they’ve graced the covers of Revolver, Metal Hammer, and Kerrang!, to name a few.īacked by sky high flames and blockbuster production befitting of their ambition, no crowd has been safe-from Downloadand Rock Am Ring to Rock on the Range and Jimmy Kimmel Live! On international headline runs, millions of “Knuckleheads” congregate at sold out arenas everywhere.
As they became “one of the most-streamed rock acts in the world, ”2015’s Got Your Six catapulted to #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart and #2 on the Top 200.
Arriving with a bang in 2007, they’ve unleashed a total of three RIAA platinum-certified albums, three gold albums, a platinum single, and generated 2 billion global streams to date (in this century). Raising the preferred middle digit, the quintet- Ivan Moody, Zoltan Bathory, Jeremy Spencer, Jason Hook, and Chris Kael -fuel the beating bloody heart of 21 st century hard rock. Try telling that to Five Finger Death Punch… However, the canned modern millennial response to such a narrative is, “It’s impossible now,” “Kids don’t listen to that”–or the evergreen favorite, “Rock is dead.” It’s a similar storyline shared by everyone from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest to Metallica and Iron Maiden. A hard rock band sticks to its guns in face of a fickle mainstream market, refuses to compromise its principals for anybody, amasses millions of fans by doing so, and quietly ascends to multiplatinum chart-topping success in every corner of the globe.
