FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have released the official music video for their new single, “Darkness Settles In”. The track, a fan favorite taken from the band’s latest studio album, “F8”, was produced by the band, alongside Kevin Churko (OZZY OSBOURNE, DISTURBED). Sonically, it takes listeners on a journey, starting from a place of stripped-down rawness and eventually reaching explosive, anthemic heights, truly embodying the full emotional spectrum of the band’s sound that has made them one of the top two listened-to rock bands in the world, based on sales and streaming data. The single follows in the footsteps of the album’s three previously released smashes “Inside Out”, “A Little Bit Off” and “Living The Dream”, all of which reached No. 1 on U.S. rock radio.
The new video highlights the band’s high-energy spirit that has captured millions of fans worldwide. It combines epic performance shots, showcasing the group’s eagerness to get back out on the road, and an exclusive first look at footage from the upcoming horror-thriller film “The Retaliators”. The track will be included on the film’s original soundtrack, of which the band take center stage in an all-star tracklisting from some of the biggest names in rock. Additionally, the band will be seen starring in special cameos in the movie, due later this year.
“F8” was released in February 2020. The follow-up to 2018’s “And Justice For None” capped a turbulent period for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH in which singer Ivan Moody finally got sober after a near-fatal struggle with addiction, while co-founding drummer Jeremy Spencer bowed out of the band due to physical issues.
Much of “F8″‘s lyrical content deals with Moody’s battle with addiction, its aftermath and his recovery. The singer celebrated three years of sobriety in March.
