Five Finger Death punch is a heavy metal band that is literally on fire.
Since the July 2007 release of their debut album The Way of the Fist (CD
review), the group has moved more than 96,000 copies worldwide. That's a
pretty impressive
number considering they've released only one single, and have yet to be picked
up by mainstream rock radio. Five Finger Death Punch tore up the stage with
Korn and Hell Yeah! in 2007 and look to tear it up some more in 2008 with
Machine Head, Slipknot, and Disturbed. Rock Is Life.com caught up with ax-slinger
Darrell Roberts (ex-W.A.S.P.).
