In a recent interview, vocalist Ivan Moody has said he will be completing the current tour and leave the band at the end of 2017. The next day however, an announcement was published on the official site of FFDP, where it was revealed, that rumours about Ivan 's departure are false. According to the announcement, the vocalist plans to start a side project beside Five Finger Death Punch, which does not mean he has plans on leaving. However, during a concert in The Netherlands, Moody did n't show up to perform the first song, which were sung by Tommy Vext, with Moody saying he was running `` a little bit late ''. Vext also sung a second song during the set later in the evening whilst Moody walked off stage. During the show all of the members left the stage for long periods on several occasions, and Hook also threw his guitar down and walked offstage at one point. During the set, Moody said that `` there is no other singer for Five Finger Death Punch '', and then later said `` This is my last show with Five Finger Death Punch '' before making a slit - throat gesture. Bathory shortly after the show tweeted that the events that transpired were `` not a publicity stunt. '' The day after the show in Tilburg, Netherlands, the band announced a headline European tour with In Flames and Of Mice And Men in late 2017. Later that same day, the band released a statement addressing what happened at the show via their Facebook page, stating that bands that tour as heavily as they do will `` inevitably have a few derailments, but the train always keeps on moving '', implying that all shows will proceed as planned and that Moody will remain as the band 's frontman. As of yet, Ivan Moody has checked himself in rehab and will sit out the current tour. Tommy Vext will be filling in for Moody as he seeks treatment. Five Finger Death Punch plans to release two new albums before the end of 2018.

He then said, `` We have an energy and a rhythmical style that 's different than what 's happening out there. We have songs that grab you and stay with you and rip your face off. Hooks, balls, melodies and energy -- that 's us ''. Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory cited Pantera as an influence.
