History
Formation, The Way of the Fist and Roberts' departure (2005–2009)
See main article: The Way of the Fist. Five Finger Death Punch was founded in 2005[1] [2] by former U.P.O. bassist[1] [3] Zoltan Bathory and drummer Jeremy Spencer, Zoltan deriving the band's name from classic martial arts cinema.[4] Bassist Matt Snell joined in early 2006.[1] [5] Later that year, Bathory contacted former Motograter vocalist Ivan Moody, sending him some of the material the band had recorded and asked him to audition for the vocalist position.[1] Moody flew from his home in Denver Colorado to Los Angeles and quickly began recording material with the band.[6]
By the end of 2006, their debut album, The Way of the Fist had been recorded and entirely self-produced.[1] The album was recorded with Stevo "Shotgun" Bruno and Mike Sarkisyan and was mixed by guitarist Logan Mader.[1] [7] After searching for a second guitarist, they found Caleb Bingham who played some shows with the band, but was later replaced by Darrell Roberts.[1] [8] Shortly after recording the album, they signed a record deal with Firm Music, a branch of "The Firm".[1] [9] On July 10, 2007, they released an EP, Pre-Emptive Strike exclusively through the American iTunes Store.[1] [10] The album's lead single, "The Bleeding", was released on July 13, 2007.[11] The Way of the Fist was released on July 31, 2007.[12] The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 199 and was certified gold in 2011.[13]

The Way of the Fist was re-released on May 13, 2008, with 3 bonus tracks.[18] One of the bonus tracks, "Never Enough" was released as the album's second single on July 15, 2008.[19] Later that year they were a part of the 2008 Mayhem Festival playing the Jägermeister Stage.[20] The third single from The Way of the Fist, "Stranger Than Fiction" was released on September 17, 2008.[19] The Way of the Fist was released through Spinefarm Records in Canada on November 4, 2008,[21] and in Europe on January 19, 2009.[22] In January 2009, Darrell Roberts was rumored to have been fired;[23] the split was confirmed a few days later, and Roberts was replaced by guitarist Jason Hook.[24] They ended their support for their first album playing the main stage at the 2009 Download Festival.[25]

And Justice for None and Spencer's departure (2016–2019)
See main article: And Justice for None and A Decade of Destruction.
On April 27, 2016, Billboard reported that Five Finger Death Punch's record label Prospect Park had filed a lawsuit against the band on April 21, 2016, for breaching their contract.[91] The basis of the claim cites that the band began working on a new album without Prospect Park's consent and will be working with Rise Records. In a recent interview, vocalist Ivan Moody has said he will be completing the current tour and leave the band at the end of 2017.[92] The next day however, an announcement was published on the official site of FFDP, where it was revealed, that rumors about Ivan's departure are false. According to the announcement, the vocalist plans to start a side project beside Five Finger Death Punch, which does not mean he has plans on leaving.[93] [94]
However, during a concert in the Netherlands, Moody did not show up to perform the first song, which was sung by Tommy Vext, with Moody saying he was running "a little bit late". Vext also sang a second song during the set later in the evening while Moody walked off stage. During the show all of the members left the stage for long periods on several occasions, and Hook also threw his guitar down and walked offstage at one point. During the set, Moody said that "there is no other singer for Five Finger Death Punch", and then later said "This is my last show with Five Finger Death Punch" before making a slit-throat gesture.[95] Bathory shortly after the show tweeted that the events that transpired were "not a publicity stunt."[96]
The day after the show in Tilburg, Netherlands, the band announced a headline European tour with In Flames and Of Mice & Men in late 2017.[97] Later that same day, the band released a statement addressing what happened at the show via their Facebook page, stating that bands that tour as heavily as they do will "inevitably have a few derailments, but the train always keeps on moving", implying that all shows would proceed as planned and that Moody would remain as the band's frontman.[98] Ivan Moody subsequently checked himself into rehab and sat out the remainder of the tour. Tommy Vext filled in for Moody while he sought treatment.[99] [100] On August 19, Ivan Moody returned to the stage at the Illinois State Fair, although just days prior it was still unknown if he would be taking the stage.[101]
In December 2017, it was announced that the band was working on their seventh studio album.[102] The album, And Justice for None was released May 18, 2018.[103] On December 21, 2017, the band released a video for their cover of "Gone Away" by The Offspring. The cover song was featured on Five Finger Death Punch's greatest hits album, A Decade of Destruction.[104] [105] On April 5, 2018, the band released "Fake" as the lead single from And Justice for None.[106] [107] On April 20, 2018, a second single was released, titled "Sham Pain".[108] [109] A third single "When the Seasons Change" was released on May 4, 2018.[110] [111]
For a Fall 2018 tour with Breaking Benjamin, Charlie Engen replaced Jeremy Spencer to allow him to undergo back surgery.[112] On December 18, it was announced that Spencer had departed the band permanently.[113] In June 2019, it was announced that Jeremy Spencer has continued the band's support of first responders and was sworn in as a reserve police officer in Indiana.[114]
Five Finger Death Punch have also worked with Brantley Gilbert, Brian May of Queen, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd to re-record a new version of Sheperd's song "Blue on Black". The proceeds from the recording support The Gary Sinise Foundation. While a cover of the song had already appeared on And Justice for None, this new version merged Sheperd's blues rock, Gilbert's country, May's classic rock and Five Finger Death Punch's mainstream rock styles.[115]
F8 and Hook's departure (2019–2021)
See main article: F8 (album) and A Decade of Destruction, Volume 2. On May 9, 2019, the band released a video announcing a "new record in the making".[116] The album, F8 was released on February 28, 2020.[117] [118] The album's lead single, "Inside Out", was released on December 2, 2019.[119] [120] "A Little Bit Off" was released as the second single in June 2020.[121] [122] [123] Both songs topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock songs.[124] On February 4, 2020, it was announced that lead guitarist Jason Hook was forced to miss the remaining shows of the European tour due to health issues. Andy James was named as substitute lead guitarist for the rest of the tour.[125] It was confirmed on October 12, 2020, that Hook officially left the band,[126] [127] [128] with James replacing him permanently.[128]
