Five Finger Death Punch – ex-Motograter, U.P.O. – Adds ex-W.A.S.P. Guitarist to Fold
Former W.A.S.P. guitarist Darrell Roberts has joined FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, the new band featuring drummer Jeremy Spencer (a former W.A.S.P. accomplice) better known for his double bass shreddage on the “Drums From Hell – Extreme Metal Loops” CD, ex-U.P.O. axe man Zoltan Bathory, ex-DEADSETT bassist Matt Snell, and former MOTOGRATER vocalist Ivan Moody (aka- Ghost).
“I will continue to write and record my own material, but when I heard 5FDP, I knew I had to be a part of this band,” Roberts writes in a statement. “They are fucking brutal, extremely talented and the debut CD, ‘The Way of the Fist’, contains some of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time! I haven’t been this excited to play music in years!!!”
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH’s debut album, “The Way of the Fist”, was recorded at Next Level Studios with Stevo “Shotgun” Bruno (PRONG, MOTLEY CRUE) and at Complex Studios with Mikey Sarkisyan (SPINESHANK). Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Logan Mader (MACHINE HEAD, SOULFLY).
The band is currently in negotiations with various labels about the release of the album. Street date is TBA. In the meantime, 5FDP is getting some “love” from radio DJ’ s across the world. XM Satellite’s Liquid Metal was the first to put “The Way Of The Fist” in rotation and others are stepping up to spin some of that “true metal”.
