FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Announce ‘Best Of (Volume 2)’, Join Forces With BABYMETAL On “The End”

Five Finger Death Punch will continue their re-recording project with the release of Best Of (Volume 2) on October 24. Much like Taylor Swift’s move to reclaim her catalog, the multi-platinum heavyweights opted to re-record their earlier material after the masters to their early works were sold without their knowledge. The effort also lines up with the band’s 20th anniversary.

The band’s history with their former label Prospect Park was a turbulent one, resulting in a million-dollar lawsuit in 2016 before both parties eventually reached a settlement. Taking matters into their own hands, the band dropped Best Of (Volume 1) this past July, featuring 17 tracks, 14 of which were re-recorded.

Now comes the second volume, highlighted by a brand-new version of “The End”, which includes guest vocals from Japanese metal sensation BABYMETAL.

SU-METAL shared her excitement about the collaboration, saying:

“We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project featuring guest artists on past songs. Five Finger Death Punch and BABYMETAL had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then. I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of ‘The End,’ and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track.

My favorite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with ‘Negai o kakete’ right after the chorus into the break — I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”

Alongside “The End (feat. BABYMETAL)”, the band have also shared re-recorded versions of “Hell To Pay” and “M.I.N.E. (End This Way)”, now streaming.
