BAND FILMS PSA AND 31 DATE SUMMER
METAL HAMMER TRESPASS AMERICA FESTIVAL PLEDGES $1.00 F0R EVERY TICKET SOLD
Five Finger Death Punch has announced a
suicide prevention initiative promoting the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline. In cooperation with the Lifeline, the band has filmed a
public service announcement, which will be placed on all broadcast, cable and
web outlets interested in supporting the initiative. The PSA can be
screened here: http://youtu.be/X3NcwG87Nxw.
In addition, Five Finger Death Punch has independently filmed a visually
arresting video that accompanies the single release of "Coming Down,"
which will premiere on VEVO on June 12 at 9:00AM Pacific. The
final screen of the music video offers a call to action in sharing, "Don’t
ignore the chance to get help for you or someone you know who might be in
crisis. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline now at
1-800-273-TALK (8255), suicidepreventionlifeline.org."
Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory shares,
"Through support and awareness, suicide can be prevented. Five
Finger Death Punch is promoting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
to build awareness that there is support out there for those in need through
the Lifeline's service, and others. This is an important initiative we
have taken on to place it on the consciousness of the public that you are not
alone when in need." Dr. John Draper, Director of the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline offers, " By sharing the message with their
fans that suicide is preventable, the members of Five Finger Death Punch will
undoubtedly save lives. We are thrilled that they are helping get the word out
about this valuable 24/7 service.” The National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline is administered by Link2Health Solutions Inc., a wholly owned
affiliate of the Mental Health Association of New York City.
The Metal Hammer Trespass America Festival has pledged $1.00
for every ticket sold this summer to provide for its network of crisis call
centers . The 31-date tour, headlined by Five Finger Death Punch, will
also feature Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Pop Evil, Emmure, God Forbid, and
Battlecross. The complete itinerary follows below.
5FDP's current single, "Coming Down," recently
debuted as the #1 rated track at Active Rock Rate-the-Music, and is on pace to
be the band's tenth 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 most recently "Remember Everything,"
has become an anthem in its own right. The band's current album, American
Capitalist, continues to sell extremely well with 396,125 copies sold since
its debut at #3 on the Billboard charts October 11th. The imminent
certification of the band's third record to hit RIAA-Certified Gold status over
the last two years, and cumulative track downloads exceeding one million
sold, displays that there are few in rock more relevant than Five Finger Death
Punch over the last several years.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is an asset for the
general public that also provides a special service for veterans and members of
the military. When calling 800-273-TALK (8255) the individual dialing
will be linked to the nearest of over 150 local crisis centers across the
country to speak with a trained crisis worker. The caller may "press
1" if he/she is a veteran, military service member or concerned about one,
which will route the call to the confidential national Veterans Crisis
Line. Earlier this year, the band returned from a visit to military
bases across Kuwait, where they touched down for performances and or visits on
bases that included Camp Moreell, Camp Beuhring, Camp Patriot and others.
This was 5FDP's second visit overseas to perform for the troops in two years
. At the time, singer Ivan Moody shared, "What a stellar way to
start the spring. Playing for the troops is always an honor and seriously
humbling. Can't say enough about the experience- everyone was so respectful and
warm. I hope we helped morale and it was a privilege to give back to those that
give so much for us."
