Five Finger Death Punch will premiere the video for
"Coming Down" on VEVO TODAY TUESDAY, JUNE 12 at 9:00 a.m.
Pacific / Noon E.S.T. The visually arresting video that addresses teen
suicide was directed by Nick Peterson, with Randi Wilens serving as executive
producer, in association with NXTdream Films LLC. 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."

Last week, Five Finger Death Punch 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:

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory shared,
"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 offered, " 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 over 400,000 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."
