Five Finger Death Punch Sign To BMG

Hard rock band Five Finger Death Punch have signed a North American recording deal with BMG label Rise Records. Following the completion of Five Finger Death Punch’s last album with their current label, Prospect Park, they will release their first album with Rise Records.
The heavy metal band, comprised of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarists Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook, drummer Jeremy Spencer, and bassist Chris Kael have been hitting the stage with their elaborate guitar riffs since 2005. They dominate genre with the release of six successful albums, five of which have been certified gold, and one reaching platinum status.

Five Finger Death Punch joins the ranks at Rise Records alongside Of Mice & Men, PVRIS, Crown The Empire, and many more.

Craig Ericson, CEO of Rise Records, adds, “I’m honored to be working with one of the biggest arena rock bands in the world. I’m very confident in the future of Five Finger Death Punch and Rise Records and can’t wait to hear the music they make with our company.”

“We are looking forward to the next phase of our recording career. We have had great success with our current label, Prospect Park, and will continue to enjoy further success with our next and final album (subject to surmounting the label’s court action to prevent us from recording it), after which we will commence a new and exciting label partnership with the people at Rise and BMG,” said guitarist/founding member Zoltan Bathory.

Five Finger Death Punch will go on a Fall arena tour with co-headliners Shinedown and special guests Sixx:A.M., in addition to support from As Lions. They are also expected to make appearances at summer festivals throughout North America and Europe.
