Five Finger Death Punch have shared a new track titled "Times Like These." This is the fourth song they've released from their upcoming new record Afterlife, following the title track, "I.O.U." and "Welcome to the Circus."
"Times Like These" is the most melodic of the aforementioned three songs, with a slower pace and gentler instrumentation from the band and vocals from Ivan Moody. Based on the melancholy lyrics, it seems to really fit with the overall existential mood of the record that guitarist Zoltan Bathory has openly discussed a few times over the last few months."Ivan generally writes very personal lyrics anyway, if you read his lyrics from [The Way of the Fist], he's an open book, it's his life and his experiences. So everything is very personal, nothing is fictional. We're not talking about mythology or historical events really, it's all real and actual events and actual feelings that he has," Bathory explained to Loudwire Nights host Toni Gonzalez.
The rockers set a new record for the most-consecutive No. 1 singles on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart when "Afterlife" became their 13th No. 1 earlier this year.
Afterlife will be out Aug. 19, and you can pre-order/save it here now. To coincide with the album release, the band will also head out on the road with Megadeth, The Hu and Fire From the Gods that same night. See all of the dates and get tickets at this location.
