FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Addresses Teen Suicide In 'Coming Down' Video
June 12, 2012, 12 years ago
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have released a music video for the track ‘Coming Down’ off their latest album American Capitalist. The video shows two teens, horribly bullied (both in real life and in the cyber world), who fight the urge to take their own lives. The clip was directed by Nick Peterson, with Randi Wilens serving as executive producer, in association with NXTdream Films LLC.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory commented: “Through support and awareness, suicide can be prevented. Five Finger Death Punch is promoting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to build awareness that there is support out there for those in need through the Lifeline’s service, and others. This is an important initiative we have taken on to place it on the consciousness of the public that you are not alone when in need.”
