According to HardDrive Radio, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH — the 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 — will take part in this summer's Rockstar Mayhem tour, also featuring SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED. The outing, sponsored by Rockstar Energy drink, will run in July and August, with additional artists and dates to be announced.

Rockstar Mayhem is being assembled by Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman and John Reese, Lyman's partner on the Taste of Chaos tour.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will be the featured guests on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline", hosted by Bob Coburn, airing Monday, January 14 at 11:30 p.m. EST/8:30 p.m. PST. Fans can talk live with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH by calling 800-344-ROCK (7625). To find a station near you or to listen to the show live via the Internet, go to www.rocklineradio.com.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's debut album, "The Way of the Fist", entered the The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 199. The CD shifted over 5,400 copies via traditional retail outlets and moved another 1,400 units in digital downloads in its first week of release.

"The Way of the Fist", was released on July 31 via Firm Music, a branch of the highly successful entertainment talent management company The Firm. The CD was recorded at Next Level Studios with Stevo "Shotgun" Bruno (PRONG, MÖTLEY CRÜE) and at Complex Studios with Mikey Sarkisyan (SPINESHANK). Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Logan Mader (MACHINE HEAD, SOULFLY).

I like FFDP - Five Finger Death Punch is ex-MOTOGRATER[vocalist], ex-W.A.S.P. guitarist, and U.P.O. Their music is pretty damn good, heavily melodic, not too heavy. The ex-WASP guitarist can really shred...this is good SHI+!

Five Finger Death Punch is a kick a$$ band. Maybe those of you who say 5FDP sucks should go to one of their shows or see them on tour. The audience is pumped and if you are weak stay out of the mosh pit it is brutal!!! This is going to be a great tour. 5FDP is new improved metal :~)

Why does eveyone feel the need to condemn nu-metal. Its obvious the metal genre has changed and evolved since early bands. It will keep evolving. I like some of the nu-metal bands. I also like other more traditional metal bands. Does anyone else out there listen to a variety of metal instead of condemning stuff that tries to break the tradition mold.

It breaks the mold by dumbing down and simplifying what metal is. That isn't a good thing either. Nu-metal isn't traditional, but it isn't even really metal, it's just more aggressive alternative rock music. The only thing that it has in common with metal is the distortion and loudness of it. I feel the need to condemn nu-metal because it is a shallow genre filled with lame cliches, hilarious band images, really really simple song structure, and terribly stupid lyrics and a lot of the fans of the genre think that it is honestly the heaviest thing that could ever exist.

I would agree with the more agressive sounding rock. But some of these bands in my opinion do not dumb down the genre becuase nu-metal is classified, as such, a different genre. For the fan comment every genre has a bunch of dumb a$$ holes who think there genre is the best. Its all a matter of opinion.

Well if you had any actual SENSE about MUSIC of ANY KIND, you would realize the fundementals in FFDP are for the most part extremely complicated to play. I listen to ALL music. But not music that is as easy as playing twinkle twinkle on the piano.. The Jeremy drums like the best of the best (not as good as joey though) and Zoltan is sick, and EVERYBODY knows that...

And, Dark_Funeral,...i would like to bring your "Ignorant" attention to the first comment on this "*vomits all over thread*"...oh so you dont like my music so that means it sucks?

Shut the f*** up.

No spirit poison you don't understand, Dark was trying to write how much he like all those band, especially ffdp but he had a stomach flu and couldn't really say what he wanted to say. When he gets better he will tell you exactly what he was thinking...no no, it's not true, I am not implying that you are a dumbass.
