Flat Black, the fledgling new outfit spearheaded by former Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook, have released their debut single “It’s Your Lack Of Respect“. A music video for that song was shared tonight. Also surfacing from the group is another song, “Halo“. Joining Hook in this newly launched band are vocalist Wes Horton, bassist Nick Diltz and drummer Rob Pierce.
Hook commented:
“I didn’t want to play it safe with the first release. “Sure, there are other songs on the album that are more geared towards radio, but to me, ‘It’s Your Lack of Respect‘ makes a statement. It’s unapologetically defiant, which is how I feel as a songwriter and we feel as band in today’s seemingly homogenized rock landscape.”
He continued:
“I love ‘Halo‘ because the song sets a dark, sinister mood. Its charm is all about the contrast between the piano part and the guitar riff, not to mention the big chorus and guitar solo — to me, that’s the Flat Black sound.”
While the group have already signed with Fearless Records, release details for Flat Black‘s debut album are being kept under wraps for now. They’ve also confirmed the following round of touring:
