Five Finger Death Punch has announced a new compilation called Best Of – Volume 1.
The set, due out July 18, consists of rerecorded versions of the biggest Death Punch hits from throughout the band’s discography. FFDP decided to create Best Of – Volume 1 after their former record label sold their original master recordings, which a press release says was done without the band’s knowledge.
“We would have loved to have a shot at reclaiming our masters, or at least to be involved in the transaction but we found out after the fact,” says guitarist Zoltan Bathory. “Surprised, but not surprised. These kinds of behind closed doors deals have become far too common in the music industry. Labels buy, sell or trade artist’s work without their knowledge or consent, reducing them to soulless commodities.”
“But life is a chess game so when this happened to Taylor Swift, she responded by re-recording her catalog,” Bathory continues. “After that respectably bold move, her fans switched to streaming the new version out of protest and loyalty. We have one of the most hardcore and loyal fan bases on the planet so I know our fans will do the same.”
You can listen to the Best Of – Volume 1 version of the 2018 song “I Refuse,” featuring guest vocals from In This Moment‘s Maria Brink, now via digital outlets.
