Money raised from this release will be donated to The Gary Sinise Foundation, which helps veterans and first responders
Five Finger Death Punch has teamed up with legendary Brian May of Queen for a new version of "Blue on Black." The new track also features guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd and country star Brantley Gilbert .
The collaboration will donate its profits to The Gary Sinise Foundation , which supports programs for veterans, first responders, and their families.
“We want to raise awareness of the cause, as this is an issue that has always been very important to us,” said Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory . “Brave men and women leave their homes every day not knowing if they will ever see their families again. And yet they choose to fight for the greater good.”
“Blue on Black” was originally recorded by Shepherd for the album Trouble Is… (1997) and last year it received a version by FFDP on the album And Justice For None .
To accompany the song's release, a moving music video was released featuring real footage of disasters that occurred in the United States, highlighting the importance of veterans and first responders. Watch the video below.
