FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Re-Record Early Hits After Losing Masters, Drop Three Updated Tracks

Five Finger Death Punch are commemorating two decades of dominance with the upcoming release of BEST OF (Volume 1)—a newly re-recorded collection of some of their most iconic tracks, arriving July 18th via Better Noise Music.

While the multi-platinum hard rock titans are marking their 20th anniversary milestone, the release also serves a greater purpose. The band is reclaiming their legacy after losing control of the masters to several early recordings—sold without their knowledge or involvement.

Fans familiar with the band’s tumultuous past with former label Prospect Park may recall a drawn-out legal battle, which culminated in a countersuit back in 2017 and was eventually settled out of court. Now, guitarist Zoltan Bathory is speaking out on this latest turn of events:

“We would have loved to have a shot at reclaiming our masters, or at least to be involved in the transaction, but we found out after the fact. Surprised, but not surprised. These kinds of behind closed doors deals have become far too common in the music industry. Labels buy, sell or trade artist’s work without their knowledge or consent, reducing them to soulless commodities. But life is a chess game, so when this happened to Taylor Swift, she responded by re-recording her catalog. After that respectably bold move, her fans switched to streaming the new version out of protest and loyalty. We have one of the most hardcore and loyal fan bases on the planet, so I know our fans will do the same.”

The 17-track compilation includes 2025 versions of favorites like “Under And Over It”, “Wrong Side Of Heaven”, and their take on Bad Company’s “Bad Company”. It also features a brand new rendition of “I Refuse” with guest vocals from Maria Brink of In This Moment, and a trio of live tracks to close it out.
