Five Finger Death Punch have dropped another new song from their forthcoming album Afterlife. The new track is called “Welcome to the Circus,” and an accompanying visualizer video has been dropped as well. It’s the third song they’ve unveiled from the record, following the title track and “I.O.U.” “Welcome to the Circus” serves as the opening track on the album, which will be out Aug. 19th.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory recently spoke about the new album with Loudwire. Bathory touched on the very personal reason as to why the album is called Afterlife.
“The reason we called it Afterlife, Ivan [Moody] and I share a couple of experiences that, generally are private things people don’t really talk about, but we both had near-death experiences being on the other side. Ivan generally writes very personal lyrics anyway, if you read his lyrics from [The Way of the Fist], he’s an open book, it’s his life and his experiences. So everything is very personal, nothing is fictional. We’re not talking about mythology or historical events really, it’s all real and actual events and actual feelings that he has.”
Important to note that Bathory also announced on social media that in his mind, Afterlife is the best Five Finger Death Punch album yet. If they’re not already, fans of FFDP should get excited. Check out the visualizer for “Welcome To The Circus” below!
Afterlife serves as the band’s first record since their 2019 release F8, and is set to be released on Aug. 19th of this year. The self-titled track, which the group unveiled back in April, became their 13th No. 1 single this week. Afterlife is available for pre-order now.
Five Finger Death Punch will hit the road in the U.S. in support of Afterlife this summer with Megadeth, The Hu and Fire From the Gods. The tour will stop through Milwaukee at American Family Insurance Amphitheatre on Oct. 7th.
