Five Finger Death Punch Win Revolver Golden Gods Award


JEREMY SPENCER NAMED BEST DRUMMER

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT PLANNED FOR APRIL 24th

Last night in Los Angeles it was announced that Five Finger Death Punch drummer Jeremy Spencer was named Best Drummer at this year’s Revolver Golden Gods Awards.

“What a great feeling to win best drummer,” remarked Jeremy.  “I was completely honored just to be nominated in the same category with these other drummers! To win it is incredibly humbling and I'm extremely grateful.  Thanks so much to everyone that took the time to vote, and thanks to Revolver and DW!”

Five Finger Death Punch are currently winding down a tour with Soulfly and Windowpanewinds.  During the month of May, the band have several major music festivals scheduled including Rock On The Range, Lazerfest 2012 and Welcome To Rockville.  Stay tuned for an upcoming special announcement from the band on April 24th about their plans for this summer.

The band’s current single, "Remember Everything," has been Top 5 on the Active Rock radio charts for months.  This is the band's ninth straight Top Ten single at Active Rock Radio going back to "The Bleeding" in the spring of 2008.  Five Finger Death Punch are one of the most heavily played bands at rock radio, as "Never Enough," "Stranger Than Fiction," "Hard To See," "Walk Away," "Bad Company," "Far From Home," "Under And Over It," and now "Remember Everything," each has become an anthem in its own rite.  The band's current album, American Capitalist, continues to sell extremely well - with over 360,000 copies sold since its debut at #3 on the Billboard charts October 11th.  Speaking of "Capitalist," the aptly titled release is on pace to go Gold by June, which would be the band's third record to hit RIAA-Certified Gold status in the last two years. Cumulatively, track downloads from 5FDP have exceeded one million sold- a staggering amount in rock today.

Similar success has been witnessed in the Great White North, with the band's second album War is the Answer on the cusp of Canadian Gold certification from the CRIA.  American Capitalist has just gone Gold.
