Five Finger Death Punch releases song with Babymetal

Multi-platinum selling modern metal giants Five Finger Death Punch are celebrating their 20th anniversary with two compilation albums – Best Of – Volume 1 was released in May, and the band has just announced that Best Of – Volume 2 will be released on October 24, 2025, via Better Noise Music.

The first single from the upcoming compilation is a new version of the hit song The End, featuring Babymetal singer Su-Metal, who comments on the collaboration:
“I got to sing part of the song in Japanese, and I tried a lot of different vocal styles that would fit such a powerful song. My favorite part is when my own voice gradually gets drowned out by Ivan’s roar. It gave me chills, and I hope the listeners experience the same!”

So the new compilation albums are not just remasters, but the band has re-recorded their biggest hits from the beginning. The releases mark the band’s response to their former label, which had sold the rights to the masters of Five Finger Death Punch’s previous albums without informing the band.

The album features reinterpretations of classics such as Sham Pain, Blue On Black, Trouble and Burn MF. The band emphasises that this is a tribute to both the songs and the fans who have stood by the band for two decades.

With over 13 billion streams, countless number one hits and numerous gold and platinum albums, Five Finger Death Punch has become one of the most successful rock bands of the millennium. Best Of – Volume 2 features 16 re-recorded classics and three previously unreleased live versions of the songs Wash It All Away, Wrong Side Of Heaven and Jekyll And Hyde.

Five Finger Death Punch Celebrates 20 Years of Career with Best Of – Volume 1 Album – First Single Featuring In This Moment’s Maria Brink

Five Finger Death Punch, one of the biggest bands in heavy metal, announces that they will release the Best Of – Volume 1 compilation album on July 18th. The publisher is Better Noise Music. The album celebrates their 20th anniversary and takes a stand against their former record label. The label had sold the rights to the masters of Five Finger Death Punch’s previous albums without informing the band.

“We would have liked to have had a chance to redeem these rights, but we only found out about the deals after the fact. We weren’t really surprised, as these kinds of closed-door deals have become all too common in this industry. Labels buy, sell, and trade artists’ art without any notice or approval. This devalues ​​the songs into soulless products,” comments Zoltan Bathory, one of the founding members of Five Finger Death Punch, and continues:

“Life is a game of chess, though – when Taylor Swift faced the same fate, she responded by re-recording her entire catalog. As a result of this respectable, shameless move, her fans switched from loyalty to listening to new versions of the songs. Our fan base is one of the most loyal on the planet, so we know they will do the same.”

The band also says they have been thinking about how to celebrate Five Finger Death Punch’s 20-year career. When the news of the catalog being sold came as a surprise, they decided to turn it into a positive. The original idea of ​​remixing or mastering wasn’t enough, so the band decided to re-record the songs completely. In the recordings, the band wanted to honor the original recordings and the people who made them, but at the same time they wanted to breathe new life into the songs that fans loved.

The first single from the Best Of – Volume 1 album is a re-recorded version of the hit I Refuse. The new version features a guest appearance by In This Moment singer Maria Brink.

Best Of – Volume 1 tracklist:
1. Under and Over It (2025 Version)
2. Wash It All Away (2025 Version)
3. Battle Born (2025 Version)
4. I Refuse (feat. Maria Brink of In This Moment) (2025 Version)
