Five Finger Death Punch is an American heavy metal band formed in California. Their discography currently consists of three studio albums, one extended play, ten singles and six music videos. The band was started in 2005 by guitarist Zoltan Bathory and drummer Jeremy Spencer. Bassist Matt Snell and vocalist Ivan Moody, joined shortly after.[1] After searching for a second guitarist for the band, they found Caleb Bingham, who was quickly replaced by Darrell Roberts.[2]

The band began their rise to fame with their debut album The Way of the Fist in 2007. The album peaked at number 107 on the Billboard 200 and number 28 in Finland. They also attracted attention supporting Korn on their Family Values and Bitch We Have a Problem tours in the summer of 2007.[3] Guitarist Darrell Roberts was replaced by Jason Hook in 2009.[4] The band's second album War Is the Answer furthered their success, selling 44,000 copies in its first week[5] and debuting at number 7 on the Billboard 200. It also did well in other countries, peaking at number 14 in Finland and number 64 in the UK. In 2010 bassist Matt Snell was fired from the band[6] and in 2011 Chris Kael was announced as his replacement.[7] Both of their albums were certified gold by the RIAA in 2011.[8]

The band's third studio album, American Capitalist was released on October 11, 2011.[9]
