As the Fall TV Season kicks off, 5FDP has several things worth tuning into: a new tour, a new single, and a deluxe re-release.  On November, 23rd all die-hard knuckleheads can rejoice: 5FDP’s groundbreaking debut, Way of the Fist, will be reissued as a deluxe box set. The Way of the Fist: Iron Fist Edition celebrates the landmark album for the metal genre that has sold over 425,000 copies and continues to scan over 1,000 copies a week three years after its original release. 
The Iron Fist Edition box set features the original 13 album tracks with all-new artwork, a brand new in-depth documentary DVD: The Legend of The Fist Vol. 1 (featuring never-before seen footage and interviews spanning 5FDP’s career), a bonus CD with 11 B-sides and rarities, 5FDP trading cards, and an exclusive poster and calendar. 
Meanwhile, this October 5FDP continues their hard rock dominance on a massive tour with Godsmack. “The Oracle 2010″ tour is easily one of the most exciting events to come along this year as these two rock titans unite for the first time.  5FDP tour dates kick off Friday, October 1, and will run through November 5th.  For details, visit fivefingerdeathpunch.com.

As the anticipation surrounding the kick off of “The Oracle 2010 Tour,” one of the biggest hard rock spectacle tours of the fall, continues to build to an all time high, America’s flagship metal/hard rock artist FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH announces a number of special headlining shows. Either see below or visit www.fivefingerdeathpunch.com to view all tour dates. Tickets for 5FDP’s headlining shows go on sale Saturday, September 11th to the general public- however, the fan club pre-sale begins Thursday, September 9th at 3pm Local. As an added bonus, the first 50 people to buy pre-sale tickets to the headlining shows get early entry to the venue at no additional cost. 
 
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH continues their hard rock dominance this fall on a massive tour with Godsmack. “The Oracle 2010” tour is easily one of the most exciting events to come along this year as these two rock titans unite to bring fans a spectacle that they will remember for a lifetime. The history of radio hits between these two bands is astonishing and there are few bands out there right now that can match each group’s intensity and desire to bring their fans the very best each and every night. Expect the unexpected and a remarkable stage show yet reminiscent of Iron Maiden and Tool’s larger than life production.

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.

Korn’s boycott of BP has started a ground swell of like-minded musicians intent on making a statement against the devastation in The Gulf caused by BP’s record setting oil spill.  The following top touring artists have joined the cause and have committed to avoid the use of fuel sold by BP or its affiliates on their upcoming tours for 2010: Disturbed, Lady Gaga, Rise Against, Godsmack, Backstreet Boys, Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, Slightly Stoopid, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Black Label Society with Zakk Wylde, Anthrax, Creed, Filter, Hellyeah and Flogging Molly.
 
“This is the worst thing that has ever happened to the environment in U.S. history.  From everything we’re hearing about now, it’s become clear that BP cut corners to put profit ahead of safety.  The message we are sending should tell all the oil companies to spend the money and take the necessary precautions to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” said Jonathon Davis of Korn. “I’m really proud that this many artists have already come on board, and I hope more will join soon.”

MG 4530web Bloody Disgusting Rock On The Range Report #1: Being At ROTR 2010
This past weekend, I was in Columbus, Ohio for the 2010 Rock on the Range Festival which had bands like Godsmack, Three Days Grace, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit and more performing.  I spent most of my time with my photographer/videoperson Chrystal in the media tent, chatting with musicians like CJ from Drowning Pool, grabbing a minute with Chino from Deftones as well as all the guys from Taproot. I got interviews with Paul Phillips from Puddle of Mudd, ST1TCH from Mushroomhead and Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit, so check back each day for a new video interview exclusively here on Bloody-Disgusting.
With over 30,000 people at this years Rock on the Range (the most attended year since the festivals inception), the two-day festival was overall great success. The weather on Saturday was a mix of rain and sunshine, making the Jagermeister and the Kicker stage fields muddy and filthy, something the audience took full advantage of. Day one had Godsmack and Three Days Grace as the headliners with bands like Deftones and Drowning Pool drawing huge numbers during the three-stage exchanges. Killswitch Engage also drew an enormous crowd with people lining the stairs and rails of the stadium to watch the band.
