3. Five Finger Death Punch, "The Bleeding" - Way Of The Fist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BAiDKOqfvc A relative newcomer to the metal community, Five Finger Death Punch (5FDP) burst on the scene in 2007 with their debut album. The band's delivery is heavy, punchy and driven by double-kick drumming. Vocalist Ivan Moody is capable of delivering a beautifully melodic lyric as well as aggressive growls and screams. Many songs effectively have elements of both. 5FDP represent modern metal for our potential converts and interestingly those that are hardcore about metal have been known to denigrate them for being a shallow, trite, one-trick pony. The band however is a constant fixture on the festival scene and have recently released their fifth studio album, quite a prolific output since their inception, and an excellent recommendation for introducing non-metallers to the genre.
