Five Finger Death Punch, often shortened to Death Punch and abbreviated as 5FDP or FFDP, is an American heavy metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Formed in 2005, the band’s name is derived from a fictional martial arts maneuver in the 2003 film Kill Bill. The band originally consisted of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarist Zoltan Bathory, guitarist Caleb Andrew Bingham, bassist Matt Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer.
Bingham was replaced by guitarist Darrell Roberts in 2006, who was then replaced by Jason Hook in 2009. Bassist Matt Snell departed from the band in 2010 and was replaced by Chris Kael in 2011. Drummer Jeremy Spencer was replaced by Charlie Engen in 2018 due to recurring back issues.
In February 2020, in the middle of the European leg of their world tour, Jason Hook departed the band due to medical reasons. He was quickly replaced by Andy James, who became a permanent band member in October 2020.
They are one of the most successful groove metal bands and are known for their raw aesthetic voices.
