WTF! This album kicks ass! Ok... So here I am strollin through Best Buy the other day when I glanced down and seen my homies band chillin in the new section of cds. Lucky Bastard!
Actually I am stoked to see him, "Zoltan" doing great and going out on the Family Values tour with Korn and all. I've known Zoltan for years, or as I like to call him "Control Z" cause not many of you guys know that he's not just a bad ass guitar player and writer, but the sickest artist and designer as well.
I Thought I'd throw this up here to share in there success and give them some props on bringing metal back and smacking us in the f%^king head! Thanks guy's. So make sure to go out and support the tour and buy the new album, The Way of The Fist, which by the way has a single in the top 20 now! Wait till you hear this singer! Holy Shit!

Even before 5FDP existed, every member of the Death Punch earned their
black belts in metal, and their individual stories are nothing short of
amazing. Yet, It’s still a paramount task to write a biography about a
band that’s very essence is “walking the walk” instead of “talking the
talk”.
Five Finger Death Punch would rather leave “blowing their own horn” to the angels of the apocalypse – but - provide the soundtrack for the celestial event.
Since the conception of the band, 5FDP just did what had to be done, and has done it in a rapid pace. They have pulled together a world class production team: Including Stevo Shotgun Bruno – (Motley, Crue, Prong) Mike Sharkysian (Spineshank) and Logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly) for recording their first album “The Way Of The Fist”.
According to the diehard fans they rapidly acquired, “Five Finger Death Punch” turned out to be a fairly descriptive name regarding the band’s iron fisted delivery of their vision. In the overwhelming response, the phrase that echoed the most, was “True Metal” – something the band ended up picking up as a short description of their music.
5FDP seems to hit a chord that is sorely lacking in today’s musical climate. Their melodic aggression, the fast technical riffage contrasted by arena ready epic pieces - invoke the spirit of the glory days of metal. However, the down tuned subsonic assault definitely reminds us we’re in the 21st century. The band perfected today’s sound but fused it with yesterday’s songwriting values.
On the first week of it's release The Way Of The Fist landed on the Billboard 200, and became the most added record to rock/metal radio. A couple of weeks later it claimed the number 1 spot on Billboard's new artists chart and their first single "The Bleeding" is currently number 25 and climbing on the rock radio charts.
5FDP spent the summer of 2007 on the road headlining the Guitar Hero Stage on Korn's Family Values Tour. Shortly after, they headed out with Korn and Hellyeah on The "Bitch we have a problem tour" conquering town after town. The Way Of The Fist is IN STORES NOW !!
Here is a pic of some tattoo work I did on Z's arms about 8 years ago! Can't wait to get him in the chair and torture this fawker again! I was also surprised to see how many fans are getting tattooed in honor of this band. If that's you reading this, send me an email and we'll get you scheduled for an appointment. Email me at: jason@jasonclaydunn.com
Until then, GO BUY THE ALBUM! The Way of The Fist!
