Five Finger Death Punch will release two studio albums this year, with the first volume scheduled for release on Tuesday, July 23, via Eleven Seven Music.
The band revealed that Rob Halford provides guest vocals on new single ‘Lift Me Up’ when he performed it with them at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards on Thursday.
“We came off the road after a couple of great years of touring and were really amped up to write the 4th record. Everybody was in the right headspace and the band tighter than ever, so it was a perfect storm,” said Five Finger Death Punch guitarists Zoltan Bathory.
“Once we passed the 24th song we knew we’re going to have to do a double album – we had this massive amount of music that’s very dear to us, possibly the best material this band has ever created.”
He said the band decided to release both their fourth and fifth records in a single year because there was no way to decide which songs to leave off.
The band will return to Europe in June for a tour of major festivals including Download Festival at Donington Park on Sunday, June 16, and the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Ceremony in London.
Upon their return to the US, they will co-headline the 2013 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival alongside Rob Zombie, kicking off in San Bernadino, CA at the San Manuel Amphitheatre on Saturday, June 29.
