FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will mark two decades together with their tenth studio album, "Legacy," arriving this summer. The digital edition drops July 31, while CD, vinyl and cassette formats follow on September 18.
To herald the record, the band has released a new single, "De Oppresso Liber" — the Latin motto of the U.S. Army Special Forces, meaning "to free the oppressed." Guitarist Zoltan Bathory framed it as more than a title: "It's a calling. It's a philosophy. It represents a willingness to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves."
Bathory also reflected on what the album's name means after twenty years: "Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and 'Legacy' is exactly what the title suggests. It's a reflection on the journey — the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we've experienced over the last two decades." He credited the band's audience for the milestone: "We didn't make it alone. We traveled this road alongside millions of fans around the world."
Vocalist Ivan Moody was quick to stress that the record looks ahead rather than back: "Twenty years is a milestone, not a destination. We're incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH while also pointing toward where we're headed next."
The album's opening salvo, "Eye Of The Storm," landed last month and has already cracked the Top 5 at rock radio, racking up more than 3.9 million Spotify streams and 1.6 million YouTube views. The ten-track "Legacy" runs from the title cut through "Nails In The Coffin," "Joke's On Me," "Shelter" and closer "Scapegoat."
The band will spend the summer on a 48-city, 20th-anniversary North American run produced by Live Nation, kicking off July 20 in Camden, New Jersey and wrapping October 23 in Bristow, Virginia, with Cody Jinks and EVA UNDER FIRE in support. A European leg follows in early 2027 alongside LAMB OF GOD and BLEED FROM WITHIN, launching January 16 in Manchester and closing February 22 in Helsinki. A portion of North American ticket sales will support U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes preparing for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
