KORN's new, untitled album sold 123,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 2 on The Billboard chart. This is slightly more than half of the 221,000 first-week tally achieved by its predecessor, "See You on the Other Side", which landed at No. 3 back in December 2005.
KORN guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer recently told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette why the band chose not to continue working with veteran drummer Terry Bozzio, who played on the band's new album. Shaffer explained, "There were certain demands that he made. We weren't ready to meet those demands...He was a great guy and a phenomenal drummer. But the demands that he made were offensive. He wanted to be a member of the band, and that included ownership. We were like, 'What? You want to have 25 percent of everything?' We can't just sign away the rights to music on a whim."

Five Finger Death Punch Interviewed On UVTV
Ivan Moody, lead vocalist of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, chatted with Underground Video Television (UVTV) recently during the Family Values tour stop in Saratoga Springs NY. Ivan describes how the project & band came to be, how he got involved & shopping for a record deal. The UVTV “In Their Own Words” feature with Ivan Moody can be seen at the UVTV website.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH is a Los Angeles-based band featuring ex-W.A.S.P. guitarist Darrell Roberts, former MOTOGRATER vocalist Ivan Moody (Ghost), ex-U.P.O. guitarist Zoltan Bathory, former DEADSETT bassist Matt Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer. Their debut cd “The Way Of The Fist” (The Firm Music) is available now.
Five Finger Death Punch Release Digital EP
Los Angeles metal outfit FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will be releasing a three song EP which will be made available for purchase on I-TUNES beginning today, Tuesday, July 10th. This comes 2 weeks prior to the band's Firm Music debut, THE WAY OF THE FIST, due out nationwide on July 31st. The EP will feature both studio and acoustic versions of the lead single - "The Bleeding" - as well as a live version of the track "The Devil's Own."
The band just shot a video in Los Angeles for "The Bleeding" with Director Bradley Scott, known for his work with The Comas, Midnight Movies and Ringside. The clip deals with a familiar subject for many of us- unhealthy relationships. Zoltan Bathory (guitarist) says of the impetus for the clip "We're getting a lot of fan mail about how this song is helping people through these relationships, where there's nothing left but the thorns, not the roses. A huge number of people living their lives in these emotional prisons… I should say emotional crack houses… hitting that 'pipe of pain'. ’We actually shot a “mini movie.” Also appearing in the video is prolific actress Danielle Harris-- star in the upcoming and updated version of Halloween directed by Rob Zombie. Her gritty performance brings the drama to new heights in the clip.
To top off this week of work, the band will have a Friday The 13th 2007 WRECKERD RELEASE party at Los Angeles' famous ROXY. To celebrate, all fans in attendance will be eligible to win a guitar signed by the FFDP boys themselves. Five Finger Death Punch will meet fans and VIPs alike after the show.

Between sets, a national "Guitar Hero II" competition will take place on stage, with competitors vying for an autographed Korn guitar, band access passes and a chance to challenge Korn frontman Jonathan Davis to a game after the show.
The 30-city trek starts in Maryland Heights, MO, and makes its way across the US, wrapping in early September with four shows in California. The caravan of rockers is also set to stop in Toronto July 31st. Details are listed below.
As they did last year, organizers will offer $9.99 lawn seats in most cities.
Family Values, which Korn created with its management company in 1998, returned to the stage last summer following a five-year hiatus and saw its most successful run to date.

Five Finger Death Punch Sign To Firm Music
LA rockers, Five Finger Death Punch, have officially inked a deal with Firm Music, a branch of the highly successful entertainment talent management company, The Firm. The band will release their debut opus, THE WAY OF THE FIST worldwide on July 31, 2007.
THE WAY OF THE FIST was recorded at Next Level Studios by Stevo "Shotgun" Bruno (MOTLEY CRUE, PRONG) and at No Name Studios by Mikey Sarkisyan (SPINESHANK) with mixing and mastering duties being handled by Logan Mader (MACHINE HEAD, SOULFLY).
The label are excited about the addition of these metal-vets to their roster. Deb Klein, GM for Firm Music says about the signing, “We were so excited to bring FFDP into our fold. We believe that this band’s material and live show speak volumes. With our company’s history in the metal world coupled with this bands mastery of the genre we are poised for world domination!”
Euro-Metal veteran and previous U.P.O. guitarist, Zoltan Bathory, was the architect of what has morphed into Five Finger Death Punch, recruiting standout studio Metal drummer, Jeremy Spencer to add his trademark ‘double-bass mayhem’ to the equation. Vocalist, Ivan Moody’s previous band, MOTOGRATER, had played to huge crowds on Ozzfest and beyond, while guitarist Darrell Roberts toured with metal legends W.A.S.P.. Matt Snell, bassist of acclaimed experimental outfits ANUBIS RISING and DEADSETT, completed the circle by lending his considerable fretboard mastery to the band’s music.
You can check out some of FFDP's material on their MySpace page.

Former MOTOGRATER vocalist Ivan (Ghost) has issued the following update on his current activities:
"I get more e-mails than I can possibly reply to, so I decided to publicly answer all the questions about what I'm up to and where I stand with MOTOGRATER.
"First off, I'd like to thank all the fans for their continuous support. I also would like to thank KORN, SHADOWS FALL, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SEVENDUST, CHIMAIRA, MARILYN MANSON, DISTURBED, KITTIE, MINISTRY, Ozzy, Sharon and the Ozzfest crew and everyone else I had the honor and privilege to tour with.
"I had an awesome time with MOTOGRATER and I have NOT separated from my MOTO brethren with any malice or bitterness! We are just as much family now, as we have always been. We have achieved more than I ever imagined. We stormed Ozzfest in 2003, were the featured band on 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', NASCAR 2004, and voted 'Best Band' of 2004 by Hit Parader. What a ride! …But times change and the pages of my musical life have changed as well.
"I am proud to announce that I'm fronting a new ULTRA MEGA METAL band
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH.

Everyone who heard it understood why I have to do this, and gave me their blessings and best wishes. I am putting my undivided attention, and full efforts into FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. And believe me when I say, IT'S FUCKIN WORTH IT!!
