Five Finger Death Punch have put out a music video for “Legacy“, the title track of their tenth studio album, timed to the record reaching physical formats on September 18. The album goes on sale on vinyl, CD and cassette in North America that day, seven weeks after its digital release. Copies will not reach European and UK shops until October 9.
Legacy first appeared digitally on July 31, 2026 through Better Noise Music, 19 years to the day after the band issued their debut, The Way Of The Fist. The timing was not incidental. Zoltan Bathory framed the record around the two decades the band has spent working under the name.
“Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and Legacy is exactly what the title suggests,” he said when the album was announced. “It’s a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we’ve experienced over the last two decades.”
He added: “What makes that journey meaningful is that we didn’t make it alone. We traveled this road alongside millions of fans around the world and somehow became part of each other’s lives. That’s an incredible thing to reflect on twenty years later.”
Vocalist Ivan Moody pushed back on the idea that the album is an exercise in retrospect.
“At the same time, Legacy isn’t about looking backward. 20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We’re incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about Five Finger Death Punch while also pointing toward where we’re headed next,” he said.
He finished: “Our philosophy has always been that this journey doesn’t come with a self-imposed ceiling. Every goal we’ve reached simply revealed another horizon beyond it. We never believed the sky was the limit; if anything, it’s where the true journey begins. Here’s to our shared legacy.”
Two details set the album apart in the band’s catalogue. At 36 minutes and 43 seconds across ten tracks, it is the shortest full-length Five Finger Death Punch have released. It is also the first album since The Way Of The Fist not produced by Kevin Churko, who had handled every record the band made between 2009 and 2022.
The rollout began on May 15 with lead single “Eye Of The Storm“, followed by “De Oppresso Liber” on June 26. The latter takes its title from the motto of the United States Army Special Forces, which translates as “to liberate the oppressed”.
“‘De Oppresso Liber’ is more than just a motto,” Bathory stated. “It’s a calling. It’s a philosophy. It represents a willingness to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves. Throughout human history, there have always been people who were drawn to accept that responsibility. This song is our way of paying respect to that mindset.”
