Five Finger Death Punch – ‘Got Your Six’ [Review]
This album feels like a black eye. A broken nose. Fractured ribs. And a punctured lung.
It’s big, it’s ear-bruising, and it. Is. Badass.
LV / LA-based metal heavyweights Five Finger Death Punch are synonymous with a direct, no-nonsense approach to heavy metal. There’s a definite emphasis on the heavy here, but Got Your Six is far from impenetrable. Great songcraft drives these guys as much as great riffs and irresistible grooves.
These facts are immediately obvious from the moment the “play” button gets pressed. Opening tracks Got Your Six and Jekyll And Hyde twist, turn, drop and energise in equal measure. Two of 14 tracks in, and you can already tell that this is one long-playing monster – and the ball never gets dropped at any point.
Strident, spectacular, and just straight-up winning, this is nothing less than a metal album you need in your ears immediately. I’d go so far as to say this is one of the best metal albums you’ll hear in 2015. Get started below!
