Five Finger Death Punch released their ninth studio album, AfterLife . The album is available on all streaming platforms, and you can listen to it in the player at the end of this article.
After releasing four singles, the group unveils this work, a favorite of guitarist Zoltan Bathory . In a press release, he described the album as "much more diverse" than F8 (2020) and its predecessors.
“ AfterLife was by far my favorite album to make,” Bathory comments. “It’s our ninth album, so we have a legion of loyal fans at this point and we’ve also better established our signature sound. It’s become our own island, ground zero where we started and to which we can always return.”
“When we started this album, there was an anticipation of venturing into imminent musical territory. We knew we could step outside our comfort zone as much as we wanted; there was a freedom to really think 'anything goes'. This resulted in an album that is much more diverse than the previous ones and also feels more unified because there is a structure of interconnected stories in Ivan [ Moody , vocalist] lyrics and themes that connect between the songs.”
To celebrate the new release, the group launched the music video for "Times Like These," a single from their new album. The video shows behind-the-scenes footage from the band's tour and, as indicated at the beginning, was filmed over 30 days, across 19 countries and 26 cities.
