FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (5FDP) F8 CD (2020)

Say what you want about Five Finger Death Punch, and plenty of people have, but F8 landed in early 2020 like a fist through drywall and their fanbase didn't flinch. It's the band operating at peak velocity, doubling down on the groove metal muscle and radio-ready aggression that made them one of the most divisive and best-selling acts in modern heavy music.

Released in February 2020, F8 is their eighth studio album and probably their most emotionally raw, guitarist Zoltan Bathory and Ivan Moody publicly addressing recovery and personal collapse in the run-up to recording. Whether that context matters to you or not, the riffs are there and so is the punch. Tracks like Inside Out and A Little Bit Off got serious airplay across the metal and alternative radio world, while the heavier cuts kept the pit contingent satisfied. Love them or tolerate them loudly, 5FDP move units and this one shows why.
