Med sin hybrid av old school- och new school-metal har Five Finger Death Punch l\u00e4nge varit en snackis p\u00e5 undergroundscenen. Genom turn\u00e9er tillsammans med bland andra Korn, Disturbed och Slipknot \u00e4r bandet idag mycket mer \u00e4n s\u00e5. Den 24 februari spelar de p\u00e5 Klubben i Stockholm. Biljetterna sl\u00e4pps imorgon den 21 november.<\/p>\n
Five Finger Death Punch\u2019s riff och slingor doftar melodisk Euro-trash blandat med grova f\u00f6rol\u00e4mpningar och fansen har l\u00e4nge refererat till Los Angeles-bandets musik som \u201dtrue metal\u201d. F\u00f6rra \u00e5ret sl\u00e4pptes debuten \u201dThe Way of the Fist\u201d i USA. Den kl\u00e4ttrade rakt in p\u00e5 Billboardlistans topp 200 och l\u00e5g imponerande sju m\u00e5nader p\u00e5 Rock Radio\u2019s Top 40. Billboard Magazine omskrev f\u00f6rsta singeln, \u201dThe Bleeding\u201d, med orden \u201dThe concert anthem of 2007\u201d och resten av v\u00e4rldens rockpress var inte sena med att h\u00e5lla med. Nu \u00e4r det \u00e4ntligen dags f\u00f6r \u201dThe Way of the Fist\u201d att sl\u00e4ppas utanf\u00f6r USA:s gr\u00e4nser. Den 19 januari landar albumet i svenska butiker och singeln \u201dThe Bleeding\u201d h\u00f6r vi i Sverige i dagarna. I februari dyker bandet upp p\u00e5 svensk mark.<\/p>\n
