Today, Thursday, April 19, the multi-platinum, hard rock band Five Finger Death Punch have unveiled the new song “Sham Pain,” off their long-awaited seventh studio album ‘And Justice For None’, due out May 18. The new song marks the second of three brand new pre-order tracks and follows last week’s release “Fake” (out 4/6) which generated just under 1 million streams in the U.S. during its first week and made the viral chart on Spotify in multiple countries. Fans can expect one more additional song to be revealed on May 4.
“Sham Pain” also kicks off immediately calling out Blabbermouth saying “Blabbermouth can fucking suck it cause they never fucking knew me.” The song has that iconic Five Finger Death Punch flow with Ivan’s deep rhythmic tone and incredible riffs by Zoltan and Jason Hook. It’s another stand out track with lyrical content to back it up. The band calls out not only Blabbermouth, but also TMZ and their former record label in which Ivan sings “My label tried to sue me”. It’s one of those tracks that you really have to listen closely to the lyrics because they are truly giving you some insight into the bands inner thoughts.
“’Sham Pain’ is a lyrical snapshot of probably the biggest, yet most chaotic year of this band’s career,” says guitarist ZOLTAN BATHORY. “Everyone has a different way of dealing with the moments when life hands them lemons…some complain and some make lemonade. Us, we pour gasoline on it and then hit it with a rocket launcher. Sarcasm has always been our ‘Art of War’ (if from naming the band ‘Five Finger Death Punch’ you haven’t figured it out yet), but just wait until you see the video we made for this song.”
Last month, 5FDP announced they will be hitting the road for a massive series of co-headlining North American dates with Breaking Benjamin this summer, along with special guests Nothing More and Bad Wolves. The summer amphitheater tour, co-produced by Live Nation and Frank Productions, kicks off on July 16, 2018 in Seattle, WA and will make stops in 32 North American cities. For tickets to the biggest, can’t-be-missed rock event of the summer, VIP offerings and more info on the tour go HERE.
