While Five Finger Death Punch dominate on a European arena tour, last night Rob Halford, legendary frontman for Judas Priest, joined the rock group on stage surprising fans with an epic performance of the group’s “Lift Me Up,” a #1 U.S. Active Rock Radio chart hit off the band’s The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell -Volume 1 album.

Released on November 19, via Prospect Park in North America and on Eleven Seven in all other territories, USA Today proclaimed that Volume 2 elevates the group “…to the top of its game. Offering more than blind rage, though there’s certainly plenty, the songs live in the tension implied by the album’s title ~ aware of the implications of lashing out, ready to accept the consequences” (11/19/2013).
5FDP ~ known for their uncompromising musical intensity and razor-sharp lyrics–are currently on an extensive European arena tour with Avenged Sevenfold through early December. Next up, Five Finger Death Punch will headline the five-day Shiprocked cruise, scheduled to depart from Miami, Florida on January 26, 2014. 5FDP will then perform at the Bandit Rock Awards in Stockholm, Sweden on March 8, 2014 to kick off their own headlining European tour next Spring.
