Spinefarm Records have confirmed an October 10th UK release for the new album from FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH entitled American Capitalist. The album will be available in North America via Prospect Park/Universal on October 11th.

Produced and mixed by Kevin Churko (OZZY OSBOURNE, HINDER) at The Hideout in Las Vegas, this is the band’s third studio outing since first coming together back in 2006.

In addition to the first single ‘Under And Over It’ - due for single release in the UK on September 26th complete with sarcastic, OTT, genre-celebratin’ video directed by Ethan Emaniquis, whose credits number ‘Sin City’ and ‘Grindhouse’ - the album also contains such classic 5FDP moments as ‘The Pride’, ‘Coming Down’ and ‘Generation Dead’; in addition to the standard CD, there will also be a ltd edition deluxe CD format complete with special packaging plus second disc containing a number of exclusive Remixes, including one for ‘Under And Over It’. Meanwhile, the iTunes version carries bonus track, ‘The Tragic Truth’.

Says guitarist Zoltan Bathory: “This record crystallises the sound of Death Punch. The band has really come into its own. Everyone contributed to the music, and this is what we are capable of as a unit.

“The overall message is to fight for your survival and success. You can be a zebra or join the lion pride. You have to rebel against your circumstances, laziness and mediocrity – not the system. The best will make it, and that notion is genetically embedded within our fabric. If we were all equal, evolution wouldn't exist. The human spirit encourages us to excel."

Following the release of American Capitalist, the band - completed by Ivan Moody (vocals), Jason Hook (guitar), Jeremy Spencer (drums), and new boy bassist Chris Kael - head out on a major US tour under the Share The Welt banner, headlining a package that also includes ALL THAT REMAINS, HATEBREED and REV THEORY. This tour starts in mid-October and runs through into November, with more dates likely to be added. Check out the first revealed-dates below.

In terms of international touring, 5FDP are planning to visit Europe in the first quarter of 2012, having already made a very healthy mark on this side of the Atlantic with album sales in excess of 100,000, appearances at the Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park and Download Festivals in Germany and the UK (the latter on two occasions) and a sold-out headline tour (UK).

Concludes Moody: "I literally laid every ounce of blood I had on the street with this one. We are a people's band. Our fans admire and understand us because of who we are. We've never tried to be anybody else. We're Five Finger Death Punch."
