Today, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, one of the most iconic and successful acts in modern music, dropped the official music video for their new single “Darkness Settles In.”
The track, a fan favorite taken from their latest #1-charting and critically-praised studio album, “F8,” was produced by the band, alongside music super-producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, DISTURBED, Slash, etc.). Sonically, it takes listeners on a journey, starting from a place of stripped-down rawness and eventually reaching explosive, anthemic heights, truly embodying the full emotional spectrum of the band’s sound that has made them one of the top 2 listened to rock bands in the world, based on sales and streaming data. The single follows in the footsteps of the album’s three previously released smashes, “Inside Out,” “A Little Bit Off,” and “Living The Dream,” all of which reached number one on U.S. rock radio.
The new video highlights the band’s high-energy spirit that has captured millions of fans worldwide. It combines epic performance shots, showcasing the group’s eagerness to get back out on the road, and an exclusive first look at footage from the upcoming horror-thriller film The Retaliators. The track will be included on the film’s original soundtrack, of which the band take center stage in an all-star tracklisting from some of the biggest names in rock. Additionally, the band will be seen starring in special cameos in the movie, due later this year.
The band was also recently announced as one of the top 5 finalists for Top Rock Artist at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. The BBMAs will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 23 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC. They were also announced as a nominee for Rock Artist of the Year at this year’s iHeart Radio Music Awards, which air on FOX on Thursday, May 27 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
