FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH landed onto the Billboard charts this week with their sophomore album War Is The Answer, moving 44,398 copies and ranking at #7 on the Top 200. “Hard To See,” the lead single from War, is a smash hit at Active Rock radio and the video (directed by Matt Silverman) is in current rotation on F– USE and mtv2.com.
The top 10 debut is the latest accomplishment in 5FDP’s hot streak, and has certified their status as one of the most important bands in hard rock today. The group has sold nearly 400,000 copies of their debut album, The Way Of Fist, and has shared the stage with bands like KoRn, Disturbed, Slipknot, Mastodon, Kid Rock, and other heavy hitters. 5FDP are currently bringing their exhilarating live show to the masses on an extensive headlining tour of North America and Europe. Keep a lookout for second single “Walk Away” to hit airwaves soon.
