Rapid-fire riffs. Heavy instrumentation. Bold vocals. You know the recipe of one of rock music’s heaviest and most successful bands, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. Since their formation, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH has forged a vaunted reputation as one of the most important, influential, and successful voices in modern metal.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH returned today with the release of their blistering new single, 'IOU'.
The official lyric video for IOU provides fans with their first look into the Metaverse project the band has been working on, an interactive virtual world that will work as an extension of the band’s existing Fan Club app. The video is a real-time animated graphic novel that uses the viewer's lyric submissions to advance the story.
“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, and 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 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." (Zoltan Bathory - FFDP guitarist)
