Five Finger Death Punch Team Up With Babymetal For Fresh Version Of ‘The End’

Five Finger Death Punch are celebrating their 20th anniversary with a fresh take on one of their fan favorites. The hard rock giants recently released Best Of – Volume 1 and are set to drop Best Of – Volume 2 on October 24, 2025. Both collections feature re-recorded versions of the band’s biggest hits, created after the sale of the original masters by their former label—a move the band had no control over.

Rather than simply remixing or remastering their classics, Five Finger Death Punch decided to fully re-record the tracks, bringing renewed energy and intensity to songs that have defined their career. Highlights include updated versions of “Sham Pain,” “Blue On Black,” “Trouble,” and “Burn MF,” giving longtime fans a new perspective on beloved anthems while introducing their music to a new generation.

The first single from Best Of – Volume 2 is a standout: the 2025 version of “The End,” featuring Babymetal. Su-Metal shared her excitement about the collaboration: “We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project featuring guest artists on past songs. Five Finger Death Punch and Babymetal had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then. I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of “The End,” and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track. My favorite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with “Negai o kakete” right after the chorus into the break — I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”

With over 13 billion streams, numerous #1 hits, and multiple gold and platinum certifications, Five Finger Death Punch remain one of the most influential rock acts of the 21st century. Best Of – Volume 2 will include 16 re-recorded classics plus three previously unreleased live versions of “Wash It All Away,” “Wrong Side Of Heaven,” and “Jekyll And Hyde.” The album will be available worldwide on standard CD, vinyl, limited edition CDs exclusive to Walmart, collectible vinyl editions at Best Buy, Walmart, the band’s webstore, indie retailers, and a Revolver Magazine exclusive.
