That's just kind of how we approach it."įIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH released "The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell" in two parts last year, with the first arriving in July 2013 and the second following last November. Just write the best songs you can that are as honest as possible and that you like to listen to, and the rest will take care of itself. It was self-induced more than anything, and I realized it's a waste of energy to worry about that stuff. After 'War Is The Answer', following up with 'American Capitalist', there was a lot of pressure. You can't get caught up in trying to worry about, is this gonna sell more or is this gonna be better? I've certainly gone through that already. We always write what we feel at the time. Spencer told Live Metal: "Well, now we're gonna do three records! No. Spencer added that the band has demoed four songs so far, saying, "I'm liking what I'm hearing, but there's a long way to go… We'll judge the body of work when it's done."Īsked how FIVE FINGER is going about following up last year's "The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell" albums. And after we finish the tour with VOLBEAT, we're gonna go back in and try to finish up everything in the winter and then get something out late spring early summer." Spencer told Artisan News, "We're at the studio right now, and we're recording some new material. That's when awareness of the band went way up."ĭespite releasing two albums' worth of material last year, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH is already looking toward its next studio project. So it just depends on the situation, but I've definitely found that since we've had a lot of success and push at radio that a lot more people have heard of our band, especially when we released 'Bad Company', that cover. But it's actually not always the case, because I see some bands that have Number One singles that sell 60,000 copies of their album. It seems like the bands that are having success at radio are definitely selling more records. "It's really tough to sell records these days. He continued: "It's important these days to have radio supporting you because it helps set up your tours and it just brings more awareness to everything that's going on. It sounds like DEATH PUNCH, yet it's not brutal enough to where they're not gonna play it." It became obvious that after 'The Bleeding' broke at radio, they were, like, 'We would love to play something else, but we can't exactly play 'The Way Of The Fist', because it's all double bass and F-bombs.' They're, like, 'It would be great if you could have something else to play.' It was this weird spot for us, but we just decided, 'Hey, let's write something that we like that could still work for what they're asking for.' So we came up with 'Never Enough', which is one of our fan favorites, especially when we play it live. I thought we made a record that was what I wanted to hear and what I wanted to play. So we just did everything we wanted to do.

Zoltan and I started tracking the record before we even had a full band. We made a record before we had any help at all. We were the only band forever on this label. It's us and KORN we're the only two bands. A major label put them together,'" Jeremy told Live Metal in a recent interview. "I've certainly seen a share of negative comments about, 'This band is just a sell-out band. Oh, yeah, and the one time I saw Deftones live it was before Indiana went DST, so it was dark out, the stars were shinning, the moon was bright, it was a cool night (all great things to have while listening to them), and the crowd surfing was going clear from the top of the lawn section all the way down to the bottom of the lawn section in one continuous line.FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH drummer Jeremy Spencer believes that radio support is essential to a band's success these days and he credits radio airplay for helping each one of the first three FIVE FINGER albums go gold in the U.S. People are wrong to call them "disciples of Korn" because they sound nothing like Korn (7 Words is the closest they come to sounding like Korn) and they were around before Korn (Deftones is 80s, Korn is 90s), the riffs are smooth and the grooves make for great "green" music, Chino has some awesome screams, Chi was an amazing bassist, and Maynard James Keynan (singer of Tool, APC, and Puscifer) cowrote and provided background vocals for their song Passenger.
And I don't care much for the frequent use of military imagery.īut I band that I really love that many people don't and I don't know why is The Deftones.
They didn't do very well for making a metal cover of Bad Company, and they should have never covered House of the Rising Sun (a song that no metal band has any business covering).
