Five Finger Death Punch – War Is The Answer

Releasedate: 25-09-2009; Label: Prospect Park

Five Finger Death Punch is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles California, formed in 2005. “War Is the Answer” is their second studio album.

It comes right at you blasting out loud with metal riffs and shouted vocals, but there is also a lot of melody going on in each track. So even for non-hardcore metal people this album is actually very nice. You can also find a balance between sung and shouted vocals. On the first track the chorus is sung, the rest is quite fast with metal riffs. The songs are very catchy. They are not only great to mosh along, but also to dance and sing along.
The lyrics are straight forward and honest. “Bulletproof”, “Hard To See” and “No One Gets Left Behind” are the catchiest ones on the album. The chorus is easy to memorize and sing along.

This album is far better than I had expected. Five Finger Death Punch have slower and faster songs on the album, but always sticking to their style. “War is the Answer” definitely doesn’t leave you forget it easily.
