That’s right folks, Knucklehead has met the Fox God.
Hot off the heels of the ‘Best Of – Volume 1′ release in July 2025, Five Finger Death Punch is back for more remakes with the announcement of a ‘Best Of – Volume 2’ release coming on Friday 24 October 2025.
Leading the charge as the first single from Best Of – Volume 2 is the 2025 version of “The End” featuring BABYMETAL which also arrives with a a brand new lyric video.
When speaking about the opportunity to be a part of FFDP‘s 20th anniversary celebrations, Su Metal from Baby Metal said how much of an honour it would be to cross paths with Five Finger Death Punch again after playing festivals together a decade ago in 2015.
“Five Finger Death Punch and BABYMETAL had performed at the same overseas festival back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then.”
Going further to speak about her time recording, Su explains that the words she sings in this feature are only inspired by the original and just what kind of approach needed to be taken for an already established tune:
“I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of “The End,” and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track. My favorite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with “Negai o kakete” right after the chorus into the break — I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”
The decision to re-record songs from 5FDP’s extensive back catalogue came after the band’s original master recordings were sold by their former label without their knowledge or the chance to reclaim their work.
Faced with this unexpected challenge, Five Finger Death Punch turned it into a powerful opportunity. Instead of settling for a remix or remaster, the band chose to fully re-record these fan favourites for a 2025 edition — a tribute to both the songs themselves and the fans who have stood by the band through every step of their journey.
An additional two songs, ‘Hell To Pay’ and ‘M.I.NE (End This Way) are also available for fans to listen to over on Spotify.
‘Best Of – Volume 2’ drops on Friday 24 October. and Five Finger Death Punch fans can pre-order ‘Best Of – Volume 2’ here.
