It shows Five Finger Death Punch‘s roots. The lyrics are still lame, but thankfully the music and melody do enough talking to make the songs special.Įven No Sudden Movement, the one insensibly heavy track in the middle of these melodic tracks, sounds pretty solid as a modern groove metal track.
This continues with the tracks This Ain’t My Last Dance and My Nemesis. Five Finger Death Punch show me that they have actually improved melodically and musically. As soon as I got about five seconds into the chorus of Wash It All Away I officially gave Got Your Six a clean slate, and rightfully so. Thankfully after these two opening tracks, Got Your Six starts to really get somewhere. Not to say I didn’t like the track at first listen, because I did, just it’s nothing new by any stretch. This song didn’t have me excited for the album, but I got it anyway, and when I turned it on, the opening track, which is also the title track Got Your Six, was even more generic. I found it to be just another display of music that was heavy for the sake of being heavy, with no help from Ivan Moody‘s generic lyrics about hating people and wanting to harm them, very typical of the band. The first track Five Finger Death Punch released from Got Your Six a few months before the album’s release was Jekyll and Hyde and I was far from impressed. Now, barely over two years since the release of part 1, Five Finger Death Punch have released yet another collection of new tracks called Got Your Six (I’ll give you a guess how many albums the band has now) but do the metal giants show that they are capable of writing worthwhile songs in such a short amount of time? You can read my reviews for both, part 1 here and part 2 here, and you can see which one I reviewed favourably and which one I didn’t. There was, of course, the two releases in 2013, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side Of Hell Volumes 1 and 2. “My daughter was the one saying, ‘Please, not now.’ Her voice pulled me back and that was the wake-up call for me.Five Finger Death Punch‘s way of maintaining their spot as one of the top acts in modern metal is by releasing album after album. “The next thing I know, I was laying there with two paddles on my chest, and my daughter was crying in my face,” he said. Moody, who apparently suffered a seizure, was revived by a defibrillator. It was the afterlife and I was on the edge.” There was no matter involved, I was pure energy, and I saw this incredibly blue light. It was wide, and I could see and feel everything. The singer, who has battled alcohol addiction for years, described himself as being in a “blue haze,” adding, “It was very quiet and peaceful, and I remember not worrying about anything. And for the first time in my existence, I felt peace.” I say ‘there,’ because I was not in this shell. I was dead for about three and a half minutes, and I became part of something while I was there.
He continued, “If you quit drinking without the right medications and whatever else, you will die.
