The album has debuted at No. 1 on on rock charts worldwide with a Top 10 Mainstream chart in US, Austria, Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and more.

The rockers have amassed over three billion streams to date, over two billion video views and is the third biggest artist in the hard rock space measured by total consumption (digital sales added to digital streams converted to sales) – surpassed only by Metallica and AC/DC.

Over the last decade, Five Finger Death Punch has become one of the most recognizable names in music. The band has sold over one million concert tickets in the past two years and over $40 million in merchandise sales globally.

Every record since the release of the band’s 2007 debut album The Way of the Fist, has been certified gold or platinum by the RIAA – four platinum and six gold records. The band has earned numerous awards and honors and is one of the few recipients of the prestigious Soldier Appreciation Award from the Association of The United States Army. Recently, Five Finger Death Punch was nominated for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Artist at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The new album, F8 includes the band’s No. 1 single “Inside Out,” as well as instant grat tracks “Full Circle” and “Living The Dream.” The standout track for press and fans alike since release has been “A Little Bit Off,” with charts in the US, Canada and Germany highlighting the song with No. 1 debuts.

F8 was produced by the band with long time producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Slash, etc). “F8, the group’s eighth, is their most mature offering to date,” Billboard states. “It features singer Ivan Moody chronicling his daunting path to sobriety over music that traverses a diverse range of styles, from sensitive ballads to balls-out barnstormers.”

Five Finger Death Punch will kick off the next leg of its U.S. arena tour in April 2020 and will bring along special guests Papa Roach, I Prevail, as well as highly acclaimed newcomer Ice Nine Kills.
