Five Finger Death Punch release new single wrong side of heaven

“We wanted to do something impactful to help our veterans in need. With this video and the accompanying campaign we hope to shed more light on the seriousness of their issues. The statistics are shocking, and if any change is to take place it will start with general public awareness. We have been playing numerous military shows but wanted to do more; educate, reach out and donate to the organizations that are making a difference to better the lives of our veterans.” - Five Finger Death Punch

Global rock heavyweights FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH have enjoyed tremendous support from their military fans over the years and have decided to give back to veterans and those suffering from PTSD with the video to “Wrong Side Of Heaven” which exclusively premiered on VEVO: http://vevo.ly/wM96O1 and has over 4.6 million views to date. The track will be released as a single on November 17th 2014 via Eleven Seven Records.

The video was written by the band and directed by Nick Peterson and is intended to increase knowledge about the plight of veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its larger repercussions by way of affecting their mental and physical health, family life, assimilation back home after service and garnering quality job placement, among many other issues.

5FDP have partnered with a multitude of national and local veterans and PTSD help organizations, contact info for which runs at the end of the video for “Wrong Side Of Heaven” and is also available at www.5fdp4Vets.com. The band created this website to provide a destination with more info on veterans affected by PTSD & the issues they’re facing.

To support the release of the video and the partner organizations for veterans suffering from PTSD, Five Finger Death Punch launched a crowdfunding campaign via Indiegogo for a special, limited edition “No One Gets Left Behind” jersey, designed by guitarist Zoltan Bathory. Whilst the original goal was to raise 50,000, the campaign ended this week with a final total of 225,000." Profits will go to benefit partner organizations and support their efforts to help veterans suffering from PTSD: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/5fdp4vets-no-one-gets-left-behind
