FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH reveal video for ‘When The Seasons Change’
15th September 2018FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have released their new video for When The Seasons Change. Written by FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory, the video is dedicated to those Police Officers and First Responders around the world who selflessly put their lives on the line every day. Among them, a hometown hero of the band, fallen Army Veteran and Las Vegas Police Officer, Charleston Hartfield lost his life in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting, using his own body to shield and save others from the hail of bullets.
When asked for a comment Zoltan said: “Instead of giving you a typical quote about the music video, let me give you some data to ponder…Medical malpractice is the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA, right behind heart-disease and cancer. Some research says an average of 250,000 people die every year because of medical errors. In contrast, Police Officers make an average of 50 fatal errors annually, that’s 245,950 less – and most of them are due to split-second decisions in high-risk situations. Of course, loss of life is always tragic but we don’t put all medical professionals on blast or call them names, disrespect them and demonize them. Of course not. They’re doing their best and it would be just as ridiculous as the current, grossly unfair rhetoric against Police as a whole.”
A rare voice of support in the entertainment world, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have been longtime supporters of veteran and law enforcement entities. Just this week the group again made good on this promise and donated a portion of the ticket sales from their massive summer North American outdoor Amphitheater Tour equalling $95,000 to C.O.P.S – Concerns Of Police Survivors, whose mission is rebuilding shattered lives of survivors and co-workers affected by line of duty deaths, through partnerships with law enforcement and the community.
The new single and video for Sham Pain, which hit the #1 spot at US Active Rock last week, marked the 6th #1 radio hit for the band. You can pick up or stream the band’s current album, And Justice For None here: https://fivefingerdeathpunch.com.
2018 marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCHwho overcame a well-documented legal battle with their label alongside a near break-up, only to defy the odds and to come back together stronger than ever. OnAnd Justice For None, the band re-teamed with longtime producer Kevin Churko(Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed) and once again stepped up their game maintaining their signature intensity, all while pushing themselves into new territory.
