Explosive, cathartic and impossibly-addictive, by the end of this song in their live set, the entire venue looks like a sprawling, windswept field of fists and horns. Buried in the middle of their debut album, White Knuckles emerged as a surprise hit with its propulsive attack and mountain-cracking breakdown. Live, Moody often introduces this song with the lyric, ‘I’m taking back control…’, whipping the legions into a frenzy. While 5FDP’s catalog boasts a raft of catchy ballads and mid-tempo favourites, they made their bones with the heavy stuff and this is one of their best. 1)? It’s all there - the two guitarists’ bludgeoning low-end chug, the bouncy Pantera-flavoured tempo, Moody’s vitriolic, “come-at-me” delivery and a horn-throwing guest turn from Rob Halford in the second verse. FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCHs seventh full-length LP, which was finished nearly a year ago, will follow up 2015s 'Got Your Six' and will be released in spring 2018.

Seems about right.With its absurdly-hooky, alt-metal grooving and Moody’s steroidal snarl, the band took on all of the trolls, rumour-mongers and puffy-chested keyboard warriors with American Capitalist’s slamming first single. I mean you wouldn’t expect to see that thing on the wall of anyone who both has decent taste and is old enough to legally drink. Regardless of the what the explanation ends up being, I think it’s hilarious that someone noticed this within hours of Five Finger Death Punch’s original announcement.
