20TH ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR UNDERWAY ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WITH CODY JINKS + EVA UNDER FIRE; UK/EU ARENA LEG WITH LAMB OF GOD AND BLEED FROM WITHIN FOLLOWS IN EARLY 2027

LAS VEGAS, NV (July 31, 2026): Twenty years and 10 albums into one of the most successful hard rock careers of the modern era, Five Finger Death Punch today released Legacy, the record the band regards as the definitive statement of everything they are. The album arrives on the heels of current single “Eye Of The Storm,” delivering the band’s 18th No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, extending their own record for the most consecutive No. 1s in the chart’s 45-year history. Few bands reach a 20th anniversary. Fewer still reach it at the height of their commercial power.

Revolver praised the track’s blend of battering riffs and melody driven by Ivan Moody‘s introspective vocal performance, while Loudwire called it “a furious opening statement for the new album cycle.”

Founding guitarist  Zoltan Bathory left no doubt about where Legacy stands in the band’s catalog: “This album is our loud and clear answer to the question of whether a band can stay true to the signature sound that has become the soundtrack to millions of fans’ daily lives and still write something new and exciting. Legacy is an absolute monster, an unapologetic monument to how far we’ve come, and a clear signal that we’re not even thinking about slowing down. If you asked me to pick the one record that best represents the essence of this band, I would hand you this one.”

Alongside the album, the band today unleashes new song “Nails In The Coffin” (listen here). Bathory offered his perspective on the track: “Ivan never defines the meaning of his lyrics. He doesn’t want to rob the fans of their own interpretation, so a song means whatever it’s supposed to mean to each listener. That’s by design, and I love that about him. But to me, ‘Nails In The Coffin’ is about burying the things that tried to bury us. Every doubt, every prediction that we wouldn’t last, every catastrophe that was supposed to be the last nail in our coffin. 20 years later, we are still here and we’re the ones holding the hammer.”

Five Finger Death Punch are currently on the first leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour which takes the band all across North America with special guest Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire before hitting arenas in the UK/EU with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within in early 2027.

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band’s journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Punch’d Energy, the 48-city North American tour is currently underway and will wrap up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on October 23.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the U.S., as his beneficiary, while vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams. “Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.” Vocalist Ivan Moody added, “These athletes represent the best of who we are. Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.”

The 20th Anniversary World Tour also marks the newest addition to the Death Punch family: Punch’d Energy joins as the tour’s official sponsor, bringing a whole new way to get energized. Their stackable caffeine gummies are each dosed with 10mg of pure, natural caffeine, so fans can stack as many as they need to build their own dose. At every show, fans 18 and over can scan the on-screen QR code for a free sample shipped straight to their door, no purchase necessary. For more info, visit punchdenergy.com.

Next up, after the North American tour, 5FDP will head across the pond for an early 2027 UK/EUROPEAN tour leg with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within. The second leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour will kick off in the UK in Manchester on Saturday, January 16 and will see the band perform in 21 cities across the continent, ending in Helsinki on February 22, 2027.
