You’ve heard the teasers, now it’s time to brave the storm…
Five Finger Death Punch has officially released its new single, “Eye of the Storm,” giving fans the first look at the band’s next chapter following 2022’s AfterLife album.
The track arrived after several days of teasers shared across the band’s social media channels and quickly sparked strong reactions from fans online. For many fans, the excitement around “Eye of the Storm” has been building all week as teaser clips spread rapidly across TikTok, Instagram and fan pages.
Now that the full song has arrived, Knuckleheads everywhere are finally getting the chance to hear the complete track in all its heavy glory. Featuring heavy riffs, aggressive vocals and the signature sound that helped make Five Finger Death Punch one of modern metal’s biggest bands, “Eye of the Storm” marks the group’s first new music of 2026.
The release also begins a new era for the Las Vegas-based band as work continues on its upcoming studio album. Guitarist Zoltan Bathory previously revealed the band had been developing a large amount of new material following the success of AfterLife and the group’s recent 20th anniversary celebrations.
Zoltan Bathory said, “The new music has been turning out heavier than anything we’ve done in years, with a cinematic undertone running beneath it. We had three years to write this record and really live with it. We started with nearly 30 songs and carved it down to 14 or 15, we even considered a double album at one point. This is our 10th studio album and our 20th anniversary as a band, we knew we had to hit it hard.”
He continues, “What excites me most is that I’m hearing the early era again, that grit, that bite, that aggression, while simultaneously exploring completely new territories. I wrote the music for the entire first album and most of the second, so that energy isn’t nostalgia for me, it’s where I come from. Those are my roots. It feels like coming home at full speed, while my brother Ivan is bringing some incredible lyrics and melodies and his voice sounds absolutely huge on this record. I am really looking forward to the next decade.”
The official lyric video for “Eye of the Storm” is available now, with the single streaming worldwide across all major music platforms.

This summer, Five Finger Death Punch will launch the first leg of its 20th Anniversary World Tour, beginning a massive run across North America with special guests Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire.
Produced by Live Nation, the 48-city trek kicks off July 20 in Camden, N.J., at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and wraps October 23 in Bristow, Va., at Jiffy Lube Live. The tour continues the band’s 20-year celebration, moving from their 2005 formation and breakthrough debut The Way of the Fist era into their current status as global arena headliners, with setlists expected to span new material alongside classic anthems and No. 1 hits.
In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognised as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028.
As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition
UK and European arena dates follow in early 2027, featuring Lamb of God and Bleed From Within. with the tour getting under way in Manchester on Friday 16 January 2027 at the AO Arena.
