Five Finger Death Punch have gone hard over the pandemic - releasing F8 back in February 2020 (our review here) and following it up with new album Afterlife in August this year. With millions upon millions of streams, an ever-growing fanbase, a bloody significant role/cameo in the feature film The Retaliators and intense returning touring, there's nothing getting in their way.
We grabbed bassist Chris Kael to find out about the music he was jamming to this year and what the band has in store next...
