Rise Records has announced the signing of Five Finger Death Punch to a North American recording deal. The first album with Rise Records will be released following the completion of the band's obligation to its current label, Prospect Park.

The hard rock juggernauts, comprised of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarists Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook, drummer Jeremy Spencer and bassist Chris Kael formed in 2005 and have released six highly successful albums, five of which have been certified Gold, with one reaching Platinum status and another soon to follow.

The Portland, Oregon-based label is excited to work with the band, welcoming them to a roster that includes Of Mice & Men, PVRIS, Crown The Empire and more. Craig Ericson, CEO of Rise Records, states, "I'm honoured to be working with one of the biggest arena rock bands in the world. I'm very confident in the future of Five Finger Death Punch and Rise Records and can't wait to hear the music they make with our company."

"We are looking forward to the next phase of our recording career. We have had great success with our current label, Prospect Park, and will continue to enjoy further success with our next and final album (subject to surmounting the label's court action to prevent us from recording it), after which we will commence a new and exciting label partnership with the people at Rise and BMG," said guitarist/founding member Zoltan Bathory.

Five Finger Death Punch recently put tickets on sale for a fall arena tour with co-headliners Shinedown and special guests Sixx:A.M., with support from As Lions.  They will play a handful of festival dates this summer in North America and Europe.
