FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have unleash another new track “Welcome To The Circus“, which is taken from the upcoming album Afterlife due to be released on August 19th via Better Noise Music. Make sure to check out the video for the new track below.
The “Afterlife” title track, which was released as a single in April, has just given FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH the most consecutive No. 1s on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The song is the band’s 12th total No. 1 and eighth entry on the chart in a row. FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH broke out of a tie with DISTURBED and SHINEDOWN, each of whom has seven consecutive No. 1s on the chart.
“AfterLife was hands down my favorite record to make,” says FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory. “It is our ninth album, so at this point we have legions of loyal fans and our signature sound is more than established. It became its own island, our ground zero we operate from and we can always come back to. So when we started this record, there was an excitement of impending musical adventures. We knew we could step away as far as we wanted to; there was a freedom of truly ‘anything goes.’ This resulted in an album that is way more diverse than our previous ones while it feels more unified, because there is a framework of overarching stories in Ivan‘s [Moody, vocals] lyrics and interconnecting musical motifs between songs. It was not planned as a concept album, but we were so hyper-focused on painting a complete picture, it somehow feels like one… We are very proud of it and are just as impatient as the fans waiting for the release. Can’t wait to share it.”
