What do you do if you are celebrating 20 years of being a band? Well 5FDP has worked up a full plan for their fans. They have just announced the first song, “Eye of the Storm” from their 10th album that is still in the studio being built. They have a very aggressive and fun two years planned for their fans. With also continuing to support the community that they serve through donations to a great cause.
“Eye of the Storm” is a strong bold heavy song that will be a little change from the norm but still have the fire of what 5FDP brings with each song. The song during pre-release snippets has gone viral, and their fans are now anticipating excellence once again from this new album. With that it brings us to what we are to expect from their 5FDP 19th album, The best way to describe it all is from a statement from Zoltan Bathory the founder and guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch, “The new music has been turning out heavier than anything we’ve done in years, with a cinematic undertone running beneath it. We had three years to write this record and really live with it. We started with nearly 30 songs and carved it down to 14 or 15, we even considered a double album at one point. This is our 10th studio album and our 20th anniversary as a band, we knew we had to hit it hard. What excites me most is that I’m hearing the early era again, that grit, that bite, that aggression, while simultaneously exploring completely new territories. I wrote the music for the entire first album and most of the second, so that energy isn’t nostalgia for me, it’s where I come from. Those are my roots. It feels like coming home at full speed, while my brother Ivan is bringing some incredible lyrics and melodies, and his voice sounds absolutely huge on this record. I am really looking forward to the next decade.”
For 2026 the band has put together a North American/European World Tour in 2026 they have set up a 48-state tour that will roll into 2027 with a 21-city tour all to celebrate their 20-year anniversary and album release The North American tour will include special guest Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire. The European tour will have Lamb of God and Bleed From Within joining them. The 2026 World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band’s journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades.
Besides all this 5FDP who has always been a supporter of so many organizations on each of their tours have chosen for this tour supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.
