Five Finger Death Punch will go into the studio next month to work on their 10th album

Author Benedetta Baldin - 18.1.2026

Guitarist Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch was questioned about the status of the songwriting and recording sessions for the band’s planned follow-up to its ninth studio album, “AfterLife,” which was released in 2022, in a recent interview with longtime radio host Abe Kanan of Audacy. This is what he stated, as per Blabbermouth

There’s always bits and pieces in the vault, so that’s kind of, like, when you have ideas… Today’s technology allows you to just grab whatever you want, and it’s in a pretty decent quality, usable quality, basically. So, we’ve been capturing things, ideas and this and that. And right now — I just went through the folder of what we have, [and] we have about 25-ish songs that eventually are gonna get chopped down to the ones that gonna make it. But that’s where we are. Maybe two or three of them have vocals on it already, to some degree. So, we’re working on it. And this is still the demoing phase, kind of. Actually, I don’t even say ‘demo’, because we don’t really demo [music]. That’s what I meant by technology is there now that you can start recording and it’s keepers [for the album]. But we are going to the proper studio probably somewhere in February.

Zoltan made this statement regarding the forthcoming Five Finger Death Punch material’s musical direction.

The new record has a little bit of this soundtrack quality. The songs that we are writing, almost all of them has a little bit of that. It was actually sort of a goal to kind of… We don’t wanna write a concept album, but it has a little bit of a soundtracky vibe to it.
