The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2 is the upcoming fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch and the second of two albums to be released by the band in 2013, with Volume 1 having been released on July 30. It will be released on November 19, 2013. Preorders for the album went up on iTunes on August 10, 2013.
Even though the band recorded two albums worth of material this time around, singer Ivan Moody told The Pulse Of Radio hes not a fan of working in the studio. "No, I dont spend a lot of time in the studio, man," he said. "I truly dont. Ill be in there when I have to. I hate the containment, I cant stand the schedule crap. The monotony drives me frickin crazy, you know, Do it again, do it again, lets try that again, and its just, its so frustrating to me. Sitting in the booth and feeling like, basically its just a cold, dead coffin, and a lot of the time people want to know why my lyrics are so angry — that has a lot to do with it."
The first half of "The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell" came out on July 30 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album chart, selling 113,000 copies in its first week of release.
The first single from "Volume 1", "Lift Me Up", featured JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford and hit the top of the rock radio chart.
"Volume 1" has sold more than 210,000 copies to date. FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCHs three previous albums have all gone gold for sales of 500,000 copies or more.
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will kick off a North American fall tour at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, California on September 15.
