Touring in support of their highly acclaimed sixth album, Fiver Finger Death Punch threw down their heavy-metal hits by the handful during their show Monday at Consol Energy Center.
Since the release of their latest album, “Got Your Six,” FFDP have teamed up with the hard-rock band Shinedown to co-headline an arena tour that filled Consol Energy Center with headbanging fans Monday night. FFDP are also celebrating the platinum certification of their 2009 album “War Is The Answer,” as well as the gold certification of their 2013 album, “The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell, Vol. 1.” The Las Vegas-based band has grown exponentially in just a few years, racking up 16 consecutive top 10 hits, five No. 1 hits and five gold albums. With the release of their two volumes in 2013, the band created continuous new content with which they outsold the majority of bands in their genre, selling over 2 million albums over the past three years in North America alone. “Got Your Six” hit new sales heights for the band around the world with its September 2015 debut. In the U.S., it debuted at No. 1 on the Top Album chart, No. 1 on the Overall Digital Album chart, and No. 1 on the the Hard Music Album chart, as well as at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200, and sold 115,000 in the first week of release. This was the first No. 1 album for the Las Vegas hard-rockers.
Shinedown recently launched “Asking For It” — the third single off of the multiplatinum rock band's current album “Threat to Survival” — with an electrifying performance on ABC's “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “Asking For It” follows the album's back-to-back No. 1 singles “Cut The Cord” and “State Of My Head,” and looks to build upon the band's already record-setting tally of 20 chart-topping singles. Released last fall, “Threat to Survival” debuted at No. 1 on both Billboard's Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums chart, and No. 5 overall on the Billboard 200.
