Here’s your chance to win a vinyl copy of Five Finger Death Punch’s new Best Of, Vol. 1 collection along with a signed drumhead from the band. This latest offering comes via the Loudwire Nights radio show and provides an exciting addition to the Loudwire Record Club.
Re-recording Their Legacy
Five Finger Death Punch has been in the spotlight recently due to their decision to re-record early material. This move came after the band discovered that their former record label had sold off their catalog without consulting them. Guitarist Zoltan Bathory shared insights on this situation during a conversation with Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong.
A Lesson from Taylor Swift
“They sold the masters,” Bathory explained. “It happens to so many artists; one of them was Taylor Swift. She has a massive, loyal fanbase. So what did she do? She re-recorded the album, put it online, and the fanbase just switched. They understood, they supported the artist.”
He continued, “We were like, ‘Okay, if that’s the game you want to play, we can play this game.’ We’re going to re-record the whole thing, and that’s what it is, that’s kind of why it happened.”
The Best Of, Vol. 1 Collection
The outcome of this endeavor is a new vinyl recording featuring 20th anniversary mixes of their early hits. This collection spans their journey from the breakout track “The Bleeding” to more contemporary hits like “Wash It All Away,” “Gone Away,” and the current Billboard Mainstream Rock chart-topper “I Refuse,” which includes a collaboration with In This Moment’s Maria Brink. The vinyl is pressed on 140-gram recycled slate-colored material.
Live Performances Included
In addition to studio tracks, the Best Of, Vol. 1 set showcases live performances, featuring concert versions of fan favorites such as “Trouble,” “Welcome to the Circus,” and “The Bleeding.” The collection is now available in stores, but here’s your chance to win it along with a signed drumhead from the band by entering the contest.
