Five Finger Death Punch To Tour With Godsmack

Five Finger Death Punch is unquestionably one of America’s flagship metal/hard rock artists, which is a statement further validated by the overwhelming success of their “Bad Company” Active Rock Radio campaign. The song has been charting (Top 40) for 15 straight weeks now on the Active Rock charts and continues to gain more momentum each week. It is currently at #2 this week chipping away at the heels of the coveted #1 spot. This is a massive accomplishment and a true testament to their work ethic considering they are the only band on an indie label that is anywhere near the top of the Active charts. Make no mistake, this is just the beginning of the group’s legacy that is quickly evolving into a global phenomenon.

Norma Jean To Release ‘Meridional’ This July

Fans of Norma Jean won’t have to wait much longer to hear the bands’ fifth album ‘Meridional’ which will be released July 13th on Razor & Tie.  ’Meridional’ revisits the abrasive and chaotic roots of classic Norma Jean while offering fans a dark experimental side – the band stretching out on moody, slow-burn jams.  It is an album that finds the band comfortable in its legacy but progressive and bold in its creativity.

‘Meridional’ was recorded in February 2010 at Glow in the Dark Studios in Atlanta with producer Jeremy Griffith.  The band recorded eleven official tracks for the record as well as a few extra bonus tracks and B-sides.  Vocalist Cory Brandan described ‘Meridional’, “It’s a heavy record, multifaceted with epic sounding, experimental songs, some fast, chaotic songs, and some melodic, commanding interludes.  Any track we didn’t think had reached its utmost sonic prowess was given a second look, revised to be as powerful as possible.”

Doc Coyle (guitars, vocals) further states: “This is quite a surprise to announce GOD FORBID’s participation in the Five Finger Death Punch, Shadows Fall and 2 Cents tour. This was a tour we were looking at when it was first being put together, so the fact that we eventually landed it, even though it was a last minute thing, is a stroke of good fortune. We do wish our friends in Throwdown well, and hope whatever happened turns out ok in the end. Big thanks to FFDP for bringing us out! We have become good friends with them over the last couple years, and the fact that they are making this huge gesture is awesome. We go all the way back with our brothers in Shadows Fall to our first tour in 2000, so this will be another trip around the rodeo with some old friends. We’ve never toured with 2 Cents, but know Adair from Manttis and the other guys seem super cool. Combined with the spring tour with Lamb of God and the summer Mayhem Festival, this will be the most successful US touring cycle GF has ever had, so it’s a big reason to be positive in 2010!
