The Way of The Fist and 2009′s War is the Answer have both surpassed Gold status. Darwin himself would be impressed at their list of accolades. Since their formation in 2006, Five Finger Death Punch continue to progress in the face of all odds and opposition. Zoltan Bathory – Rhythm Guitar | Jason Hook – Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals | Chris Kael – Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals | Ivan Moody – Lead Vocals | Jeremy Spencer – DrumsĮvolution gave birth to American Capitalist. For today, AFGM brings you and metal genre favourite. Anyways, 3 albums later and now the guys are a cornerstone in the metal industry for their catchy hooks, hard hitting kickers and Ivan's melodic vocals. I'm still surprised they didn't get shut down. Ivan was literally screaming at people in the front row as the mosh pit pretty much were throwing the barriers at this point. These guys had more energy and intensity than pretty much all other bands combined. They had barriers in front of the stage but pretty much went to the wayside as soon as the first song started up. Long story short, I had no idea who these guys were until I saw them light up the second stage at Korn's Family Values Tour a few years ago. These guys I have been following by default since their first tour. If you know of someone going to the festival, pass the articles along and get them just as stoked as we are!
I'm going to keep all feelings aside and just report on some need to know facts about these bands to make your experience at the festival a little more enjoyable. Now, for these articles, I usually throw around some opinions and constructive criticisms. For some reason, I had a feeling it was going to be a good year :-) and even purchased the tickets before the band were announced. I was fortunate enough to hit up the 2011 edition of HEAVY T.O.
