F8 was produced by the band with long time producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Slash, etc). “F8, the group’s eighth, is their most mature offering to date,” Billboard states. “It features singer Ivan Moody chronicling his daunting path to sobriety over music that traverses a diverse range of styles, from sensitive ballads to balls-out barnstormers.”
Five Finger Death Punch will kick off the next leg of its U.S. arena tour in April 2020 and will bring along special guests Papa Roach, I Prevail, as well as highly acclaimed newcomer Ice Nine Kills.
