The official music video for “Times Like These”, a brand new song from FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, can be seen below. The track is taken from the band’s ninth album, “AfterLife”, which is out now. The “Afterlife” title track, which was released as a single in April, recently gave FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH the most consecutive No. 1s on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The song was the band’s 13th total No. 1 and eighth entry on the chart in a row.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory said: “‘AfterLife’ is my favorite FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH record to date and it was also the most fun to make. If the previous album ‘F8’ was dubbed as the ‘rebirth’ of the band, then this one is our ‘transcendence’ for sure. One of the most difficult achievements for a traditional ‘drums-guitars-bass-vocals’ rock band is to establish a recognizable signature sound,” he continued. “The second most difficult thing is to keep evolving while holding on to that signature sound. I believe for us ‘AfterLife’ isn’t just an evolution but possibly even a paradigm shift in our career, because this record is so vastly different from all the previous ones yet it still unmistakably sounds like us. Very proud of this one and can’t wait to share it. Our fans are in for a few surprises.”
“AfterLife” is available on all streaming platforms, in CD- and cassette format and in various limited vinyl editions across the globe, as well as a limited collector’s edition lenticular cover cd exclusive at Walmart. Check out the various vinyl editions . In addition, an exclusive brand new “AfterLife” merchandise collection, as well as limited edition red apple color vinyl is available at the official Five Finger Death Punch webstore.
“AfterLife” was once again recorded at the Hideout Recording Studio, the Las Vegas, Nevada facility owned and operated by Kevin Churko, the Canadian record producer/engineer and songwriter who has worked on all of FIVE FINGER‘s albums beginning with the band’s sophomore release, 2009’s “War Is The Answer”.
“AfterLife” is FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH‘s first album with its latest addition, renowned British virtuoso Andy James, who replaced Jason Hook in 2020. James was previously featured on “Broken World”, a song that was included on the second installment of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH‘s greatest-hits collection, “A Decade Of Destruction – Volume 2”, which came out in the fall of 2020.

It produced four No. 1 hit singles with “Inside Out”, “A Little Bit Off”, “Living The Dream” and “Darkness Settles In”, the latter of which saw the band tie DISTURBED‘s record for most consecutive No. 1s on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with seven chart-toppers in a row.
