Five Finger Death Punch with manager Jackie Kajzer (10th St. Entertainment) and Rise Records CEO Craig Ericson
Rise Records have announced the signing of Five Finger Death Punch
to a North American recording deal. The first album with Rise Records,
the BMG-owned rock label, will be released following the completion of
Five Finger Death Punch's obligation to its current label, Prospect
Park.
The
hard rock juggernauts, comprised of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarists
Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook, drummer Jeremy Spencer and bassist Chris
Kael formed in 2005 and have released six highly successful albums, five
of which have been certified gold, with one reaching platinum status
and another soon to follow.
The
Portland, Oregon-based label is excited to work with the band,
welcoming them to a roster that includes Of Mice & Men, PVRIS, Crown
The Empire and more. Craig Ericson, CEO of Rise Records, adds, "I'm
honored to be working with one of the biggest arena rock bands in the
world. I'm very confident in the future of Five Finger Death Punch and
Rise Records and can’t wait to hear the music they make with our
company.”
“We
are looking forward to the next phase of our recording career. We have
had great success with our current label, Prospect Park, and will
continue to enjoy further success with our next and final album (subject
to surmounting the label’s court action to prevent us from recording
it), after which we will commence a new and exciting label partnership
with the people at Rise and BMG,” said guitarist/founding member Zoltan
Bathory.
Five
Finger Death Punch recently put tickets on sale for a Fall arena tour
with co-headliners Shinedown and special guests Sixx:A.M. with support
from As Lions. They will play a handful of festival dates this summer
in North America and Europe.
