There have been some rumors circulating as of late that seem to suggest that Five Finger Death Punch may have parted ways with guitarist Jason Hook. According to The PRP, fans have been looking for evidence and they recently discovered that members of the band have stopped following Hook on social media. Furthermore, those that have asked frontman Ivan Moody about Hook on Instagram have been having their questions dismissed. On top of that, the guitarist has also been missing from the band’s recent posts including a photo celebrating 1 million followers on Instagram. However, that picture did feature Andy James (ex-Sacred Mother, etc.), who previously filled in for Hook while he was undergoing gallbladder surgery. Notably, James was previously planning to join Butcher Babies as their second guitarist, but has not appeared in their recent promo photos. That being said, it is possible that he could have joined Five Finger Death Punch instead.

During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Zoltan Bathory offered an update on Five Finger Death Punch’s current plans. Interestingly, the guitarist seemed to suggest that a new movie focusing on the band is among the various things that they have in the works.
Bathory said the following:
“I’m good with the gas pedal, but didn’t really figure out how the brakes work yet, so even though these days I jump in the pool once a day, it’s full-tilt boogie here.
We just built a Death Punch app, which is in the final testing phase, we’re working on video treatments for the next couple of singles and working on a Five Finger Death Punch movie.
I’m also designing props for whenever we can tour again, designing new Death Punch merch, new signature guitars, training Jiu-Jitsu and renovating a castle which is a fun side-project.
And besides navigating the Five Finger Death Punch battleship, I also co-manage Bad Wolves and Fire From The Gods, so I’m pretty busy. Oh, and the Illuminati won’t run itself either, so…”
It’s worth noting that the group have been filming parts and working on a music video for the new horror movie “The Retaliators.” However, it is unclear if that’s what Bathory was referring to.
In other news, Five Finger Death Punch have also been named as the “Best Live Act” at the 10th anniversary edition of the AIM Awards. The band said the following about that:
“We want to take a second to tell you what a tremendous honor it is to receive the best live act AIM Award 2020 and an extra special shout out to AIM for always providing growth and opportunities for independent artists and labels. WE are proud to be one of them. We look forward to seeing every last one of you out on tour sooner than later, stay safe out there, keep well!”
Dan Waite, MD Europe Better Noise Music, added:
“It’s fantastic to have AIM as a backer and champion for the independent music community. AIM’s knowledge support and guidance is invaluable to independent record labels. Five Finger Death Punch winning AIM Best Live Act is testament to the bands passion, integrity, vision and lack of compromise when putting together Global Arena filling shows. Their fans recognise that and voted accordingly. Thank you.”
Five Finger Death Punch have premiered a lyric video for their song “This Is War.” This track is from the band’s latest album “F8.”
Five Finger Death Punch‘s 2018 album “And Justice For None” has officially been certified gold by the RIAA. The band received the honor after moving 500,000 units of the record in the U.S.
Five Finger Death Punch have premiered a new video for their song “A Little Bit Off.” This track is from the band’s latest album “F8.”
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory commented:
“Our new record ‘F8‘ came out right at the exact moment Covid 19 smashed into western society and (naturally) all attention was diverted to the pandemic. It placed us in a difficult situation, where on one hand this is probably the best album we have ever made, on the other it felt insensitive to promote a record on full tilt boogie while people were dying all across the world, businesses closed down, and the economy went face down in a ditch.
Since it affects all public events, and tours are cancelled for who knows how long, artists also became victims of the fallout. So we decided to make this video a snapshot of the unprecedented times and underline it with some humor to at least lighten the overall gloomy vibes.
However, here we are today ready to release it … but thinking once again … is it insensitive to debut the video now that the world is on fire…I guess this will turn out to be the anthem for 2020… We are all ‘a little bit off today’.”
Five Finger Death Punch’s Ivan Moody has launched a new series called “Guitar Zero: Legends Of The Fail.” The series will follow the singer as he learns to play guitar. The band commented:
“Presenting the brand new series Ivan Moody’s ‘Guitar Zero: Legends Of The Fail’ Episode 1. This week Ivan checks in with Tom Maxwell of HELLYEAH and gets advice that maybe he should take up cooking instead of playing guitar… Join Ivan on his journey to learn to play guitar with new episodes each Wednesday on 5FDP youtube, IGTV and Facebook.”
Five Finger Death Punch have shared the 10th episode of their “Quarantine Theater 2020” series. This one finds the band discussing the video for their song “The Pride.”
