Five Finger Death Punch in Sacramento

About Five Finger Death Punch

Five Finger Death Punch formed in Las Vegas in 2005 and became one of the loudest metal bands of the 2010s. They built their audience on heavy groove riffs and Ivan Moody's vocals, which range from melodic singing to full-throttle screaming depending on the song. Wrong Side of Heaven became their biggest crossover moment, landing mainstream radio play in 2014. Their approach has always been about straightforward metal delivered with maximum volume—no prog complexity, no genre experimentation, just heavy riffs and lyrics about struggle, loss, and survival. Songs like Remember Everything and Wash It All Away showed they could write hooks as catchy as they are crushing. They've sold millions of albums worldwide and consistently pull enormous crowds, the kind of band that fills arenas with the kind of people who don't usually go to concerts.

Their shows are loud and aggressive in the most literal sense. Massive crowds, lots of metal horns in the air, mosh pits that swallow people whole. Moody commands the stage without much talking. You go to see riffs executed at maximum volume. It's relentless.

Known for Wrong Side of Heaven, Wash It All Away, House of the Rising Sun, Remember Everything, Got Your Six
