Ex-Five Finger Death Punch Guitarist Jason Hook Announces His New Band Flat Black

Having soft-launched the outfit earlier this week, former Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook has now provided a proper introduction to his new outfit, Flat Black. Newly signed with Fearless Records, plans are being laid for the release of the group’s already recorded debut album, which Hook himself produced.

The group were announced for a pair of tours with Godsmack earlier this week, dates for which can be found below. Hook commented of that opportunity:

“I feel like Flat Black is a secret I’ve been keeping for three years. It’s finally time to unleash this band on the world. I’m grateful to Sully from Godsmack for giving us the chance to get out on the road and play for such an amazing group of fans.”
