And Justice For None

Description

It's unprecedented today. A hard rock band stands firm in the face of a capricious mainstream market, refuses to compromise on its principles, gathers millions of fans, and quietly rises to multiplatinum success around the world. It's a similar story shared by all, from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest to Metallica and Iron Maiden. Yet, the ready-made response of modern millennials to such a narrative is: "It's impossible now," "Young people don't listen to that anymore" - or the timeless classic: "Rock is dead." Try telling that to Five Finger Death Punch... By raising the middle finger, the quintet - Ivan Moody [vocals], Zoltan Bathory [guitar], Jeremy Spencer [drums], Jason Hook [guitar], and Chris Kael [bass] - fuels the beating heart of 21st-century hard rock. Bursting onto the scene in 2007, they have released three albums certified platinum by the RIAA, three gold albums, one platinum single, and generated 2 billion streams worldwide to date (in this century). They have thus become "one of the most listened-to rock bands in the world."
