Marks Tenth Straight Top Ten Track at Active Rock
THE METAL HAMMER PRESENTED TRESPASS AMERICA FESTIVAL CONTINUES TO RECEIVE RAVES FROM MEDIA AND FANS ALIKE
Five Finger Death Punch has hit #1 with the band’s current single “Coming Down.” The track is the tenth consecutive Top 10 hit at the Active Rock format, cementing the act’s position as one of the most relevant at the format. Going back to “The Bleeding” in the spring of 2008. Five Finger Death Punch is one of the most heavily played bands at rock radio, as “Never Enough,” “Stranger Than Fiction,” “Hard To See,” “Walk Away,” “Bad Company,” “Far From Home,” “Under And Over It,” and most recently “Remember Everything,” each has become an anthem in its own right. The band’s current album, American Capitalist, continues to sell extremely well with 436,254 copies sold since its debut at #3 on the Billboard charts October 11th. The imminent certification of the band’s third record to hit RIAA-Certified Gold status over the last two years, and cumulative track downloads exceeding one million sold, displays that there are few acts more successful than Five Finger Death Punch.
Singer Ivan Moody shares, “radio stations across the U.S., and basically the whole World, have been very supportive of the band. We are grateful and remain indebted to them for stepping behind us, and as our fan base continues to grow year after year, it is clear that rock radio is far from dead. People are listening. With ‘Coming Down,’ there is obviously a deep message of hope this song lyrically offers. To have success on the radio with a track that is so meaningful to me personally, and many others, is an amazing feeling.”
