Armed with their new album coming soon, Five Finger Death Punch will share a new song this Sunday night (12/1), dubbed ‘Inside Out’. The track will likely be the first single from the band’s upcoming eighth studio album, due out in early 2020. Watch a teaser of the track below.
Singer Ivan Moody told The Pulse Of Radio that he wanted to experiment with the way the band writes songs on the new LP. “I’m really sick and tired of safe music,” he said. “There’s this structured way that everybody has to write their fucking music, and it’s got to be ‘verse, chorus, verse, chorus, breakdown, OUT!’ You know? And it’s so monotonous to me.”
Moody spoke about “Inside Out” with Metal Hammer magazine earlier this month, saying: “It’s about alcoholism. It’s about my family leaving. It’s about my bandmates. It’s about looking at myself in the fucking face and saying, ‘Dude, you’re going to have to do this because nobody else is coming.'”
He said about the record in general: “This album has not been fucking easy to make. There was always somebody fucking quitting. Somebody wants to fire another guy, somebody’s unhappy with someone’s lifestyle. These things happen on a daily basis.”
