Spotted on Billboard:
Neither volume of Five Finger Death Punch’s “The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell” is a year old yet, but the heavy rocking quintet already has its next project in motion.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory tells Billboard that 5FDP has “five, six ideas or roughs already in the can,” with plans for a 2015 release. “I would say next spring we would want to put something out,” Bathory says, “so that means this year we’ll be recording here and there and probably go into the studio in December or January. But we definitely want to have something out before next summer for sure. In this environment I don’t think that bands can allow themselves to stay in a studio for two, three, four years and wait and try to write some masterpiece. In four years people are going to forget about you. You have go put out records. Thank God we have plenty to say and plenty of material. We don’t struggle for material — obviously.”
5FDP will spend the spring and summer playing festival dates in the U.S. and Russia, and it begins a just-announced 27-date arena tour with Volbeat on Sept. 16 in Salt Lake City.
