Multi-platinum hard rockers/alternative metal band Five Finger Death Punch are locking in new material for their upcoming tenth studio album. Bassist/vocalist Chris Kael recently spoke of that with Kilpop, revealing that the group have six or seven songs coming together for that effort thus far. After speaking of a photoshoot the band had scheduled, he stated:
“…We’re here in [Las Vegas] working on new stuff as well. Going back to the old days, like the very first record. [On that album] I believe it was Zoltan [Bathory, Five Finger Death Punch guitarist] just in his apartment in Los Angeles, writing and recording right there in his apartment. He said that he didn’t get a bed, he didn’t get none of that, ’cause he didn’t want anything to hold him down. He wanted to be able to go in there, record, be uncomfortable, and then get out and go do it. So, he’s got a bed now and a much bigger house. But we’re essentially doing it the way that it was done on that first record, just in the living room — set up and record and go.”
He went on to say:
“I think there’s about six or seven songs at this point. Yeah, [we’re] just kind of working on that and taking our time and really just kind of enjoying the break, with no rush. There’s no deadlines, no impending tours. We’ve got six shows this year. I know we’re doing Arizona Bike Week, playing up in Anchorage, Alaska, Sturgis, a couple shows in Wisconsin. We just announced ‘Rocklahoma‘ as well. And then other than that, we’re just gonna be here writing and recording, going out to do those shows to get the live vibe again, get excited and then come back and bring that live energy back into the studio.”
