Five Finger Death Punch<\/a><\/strong> just released the deluxe version of their latest record Afterlife, featuring a new song called “This Is The Way” with the late DMX<\/strong> on vocals. The song comes alongside a video directed by influential filmmaker Hype Williams<\/strong>, a longtime friend and close collaborator of DMX<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “Music is meant to be universal and without boundaries, and it starts at the top with us, the artists,” said Five Finger Death Punch<\/a><\/strong> guitarist Zoltan Bathory<\/strong>. “We have always embraced the mixing of genres, whether it be the remake of LL Cool J<\/strong>‘s ‘Mama Said Knock You Out’ featuring Tech N9ne<\/strong> as a guest, or our collaboration with blues warrior Kenny Wayne Shepherd<\/strong>, country star Brantley Gilbert<\/strong>, and Brian May<\/strong>, the legendary guitarist of Queen<\/strong>, on the song ‘Blue on Black.'”<\/p>\n “The idea of collaborating with DMX<\/strong> had been in discussion for years, and it was a long and winding road to turn this particular item on our wish list into reality. He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly. We have always viewed DMX as ‘the metalhead of hip-hop’ because of his aggressive, raw, and untamed style.<\/p>\n “He growled and snarled, aiming to rattle some cages\u2013an attitude we share, as Five Finger Death Punch<\/a><\/strong> has always been drawn to the fearless and the real. It made all the sense in the world, but today this is more than just a song; it’s a salute to a legend, a way to honor DMX<\/strong>‘s memory.”<\/p>\n The deluxe version of Afterlife<\/em> also offers three acoustic versions of the album’s songs “The End”, “Judgement Day”, and “Thanks For Asking”. Afterlife<\/em> is out now on all streaming services.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
