Bob LeVoy Review: Afterlife by Five Finger Death Punch

AfterLife is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch, released on August 19, 2022, via the Better Noise Records label. It is the first album since 2007’s The Way of the Fist not to feature longtime lead guitarist Jason Hook, who was replaced by Andy James in 2020.  Current lineup for this amazing band is Zoltan Bathory on rhythm guitar. lead guitar and bass, Ivan Moody on lead vocals amd keyboards,  Chris Kael on bass and backing vocals, Charlie Engen on drums and Andy James on lead guitar and backing vocals.  This twelve-track album of new material features the singles IOU, the title track Afterlife, Welcome To the Circus and Times Like These.  In addition to these singles the album features such amazing other tracks as Pick Up Behind You, All I Know, The End and much more. 

I enjoyed this album from start to finish with a brilliant performance, as well as the bands excellent songwriting talent plus a superb job of recording and production.  I enjoyed this whole album from start to finish and had the opportunity in the past to see this amazing band perform live in concert with a spectacular light show and a driving performance.  I really appreciate their support of us veterans and hope one day I can get one of my vinyl albums signed by the band.  I highly recommend that you add this album to your rock library which is available on Vinyl, CD and digital download from Amazon, Spotify, and other music retailers as well on their official website https://fivefingerdeathpunch.com/ where you can learn more about the band and where they will be playing near you.
