![]() My Nemesis is another sure fire hit with a chorus designed to be echoed across arenas and festivals alike while Question Everything has a haunting main riff over which Ivan Moody shows his full range with some of his best lyrics (often regarded as a FFDP weak spot) to date. The only complaint (again) is that the solo feels like it’s been heard before. Wash It All Away sees Five Finger Death Punch hitting their stride, with a song that follows some of their previous hits like Hard To See in it’s ability to come across as hard hitting yet have massive mainstream appeal, particularly with it’s huge chorus. This is a band who’ve never paid too much attention to critics and have proven their doubters wrong time and again. This review leans towards the latter, as the song feels clichéd and borders on making FFDP seem overly obnoxious, but then perhaps that’s the point of it. Lead single Jekyll & Hide has proven very divisive, with fans and critics alike either loving it or hating it. The album’s opener and title track sounds exactly how you would expect a typical Five Finger Death Punch song to sound, with galloping riffs and Ivan Moody’s trademark aggressive vocals firing away, though the guitar solo sounds like they took the one from Under & Over It (from American Capitalist) and recycled it with a few changes. Can they continue their relentless climb to the top of the metal world with their latest record? With various well documented upsets surrounding the band in recent months, their sixth album Got Your Six provides a timely opportunity to refocus back onto the band’s musical output. Overall Score: 8/10 Sing-along Potential: 9/10 Riffs: 8/10 Originality: 6/10 Pros: Huge Anthems | Ivan's Vocals | Honed Sound Cons: Won't Win Over The Doubtersįive Finger Death Punch are always going to divide opinion in the metal world.
