The next era of Five Finger Death Punch is upon us as the band has just released the new song “Eye of the Storm.”
The band is in the midst of an incredible run of 12 straight chart-topping singles on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, most recently hitting with “The End” off their Best Of, Vol 2 album last year. Will “Eye of the Storm” follow that path?
About Five Finger Death Punch’s ‘Eye of the Storm’
Having re-recorded their biggest hits for their Best Of, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 collections in recent years, Five Finger Death Punch are ready to kick off their next era. “Eye of the Storm” is the first taste of new music since their career-spanning recaps.
The song is a driving, furious banger that kicks off what’s expected to be a new album cycle in grand fashion.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory shares, “The new music has been turning out heavier than anything we’ve done in years, with a cinematic undertone running beneath it. We had three years to write this record and really live with it. We started with nearly 30 songs and carved it down to 14 or 15, we even considered a double album at one point. This is our 10th studio album and our 20th anniversary as a band, we knew we had to hit it hard.”
He continues, “What excites me most is that I’m hearing the early era again, that grit, that bite, that aggression, while simultaneously exploring completely new territories. I wrote the music for the entire first album and most of the second, so that energy isn’t nostalgia for me, it’s where I come from. Those are my roots. It feels like coming home at full speed, while my brother Ivan is bringing some incredible lyrics and melodies and his voice sounds absolutely huge on this record. I am really looking forward to the next decade.”

Five Finger Death Punch, “Eye of the Storm” Lyrics
Oh Father please forgive us ’cause we know just what we’ve done As we dance around a tombstone and we crash into the sunAs the fires rise around us and we bear our crown of thorns We can finally rest in pieces in the eye of the storm
AggressionIts the only thing you’ll hear It’s just like music to your ears And thats why I blame you Deceptionits a pain that burns insideIt only hurts when its applied (sign here)And that’s why I blame you for feeling the way that I do
Oh Father please forgive us ’cause we know just what we’ve done As we dance around a tombstone and we crash into the sunAs the fires rise around us and we bear our crown of thorns We can finally rest in pieces in the eye of the stormBurn! DescensionIt’s a bitter pill to takeKnowing you are not a saint (you lose) And that’s why I blame youReflectionLook directly in the mirror and tell me what it is you fear (it’s me) And that’s why I blame you for feeling the way that I do
Oh Father please forgive us ’cause we know just what we’ve done As we dance around a tombstone and we crash into the sunAs the fires rise around us and we bear our crown of thorns We can finally rest in pieces in the eye of the storm
Burn!
Oh Father please forgive us ’cause we know just what we’ve done As we dance around a tombstone and we crash into the sunAs the fires rise around us and we bear our crown of thorns We can finally rest in pieces in the eye of the storm
What Five Finger Death Punch Have Said About New Music
Back in January, Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory told Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong, “There’s always something going on. We recorded a bunch of pieces and we have about 25, 26 ideas that are pretty worked out musically. And then…what’s the 13, 14 songs that are going to make it, at least for this record, and the rest go back to the vault.”
