Rock n' Load Mag
The eighth album from Five Finger Death Punch has dropped and it is outstanding.
-
Meaww
There are bruising riffs, melodic interludes, soaring vocals, barking growls, and some effortlessly epic, creamy guitar solos on this new FFDP masterpiece.

Sputnik Music
Average.

Metal Planet Music
This album will keep all fans happy.
-
Cryptic Rock
A hair-raising package, there is a bounty of good new music on F8.
-
Ultimate Guitar
Even if you're not a fan of the band, it's undeniable that there is some serious guitar playing talent on tap.
-
Rock Sins
Massive tunes, stunning ballads, even bigger hooks and Zoltan Bathory sweeping like a janitor on This Is War.
-
Insert Review Here
To be honest, nothing is missing from this album. It is a FFDP album through and through.
-
All Music
Five Finger Death Punch are a band who know their product and have become ruthlessly efficient at manufacturing it.
-
Photo Groupie
This isn't just a return to form, it's the start of something far bigger and greater for the band.
-
Outright Geekery
I’ve been a fan of Five Finger Death Punch from the start but F8 is their best album to date.
-
Get Rocked
This album is the proclaimed rebirth of the band after getting clean and trying to return to form.
-
The Mighty Decibel
F8 sound like a bunch of talented hired guns who decided to make a blueprint metal record. The end result is average and cliché.
-
The Paper Cut
An Album Well Worth the Wait.
-
Metal Temple
Overall I rally have immensely enjoyed reviewing FFDP new album “F8”.
-
GBHBL
Moody seems to have cleaned himself up and the band seem to have grown and matured dramatically culminating in a really strong new release in F8.
-
Moshville
Certainly it’s a strong release and one I’m sure will appeal to existing fans.
-
Maximum Volume Music
Pressing “F8” hasn’t meant an entry into Safe Mode here, that’s for sure.
-
Tuonela Magazine
The album sounds like a classic FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH but heavier than ever.
-
The Sound Board
It’s not even like the final results are bad, but the blandness and frankly aggressive mediocrity on display is probably more palpable than ever here.
-
Get Ready to Rock
This album only confirms what I thought when I caught the band live last month, the guys are at the top of their game and have released a record which reflects the new found energy within the FFDP camp.
-
Backseat Mafia
One thing is for sure, after eight albums the band do not seem to be slowing down their ambition to become one of the biggest hard rock groups in the world.
-
Continuous Thunder
Overall, this album… just… it isn’t good.
-
Uncivil Revolt
To Five Finger Death Punch, I salute you. Horns up, and fists in the air!!!
-
Deadpress
Returning with their eighth record, Five Finger Death Punch have doubled down on their riffs and tightened their structuring for the short yet aptly titled ‘F8’.
-
The Sentry
Five Finger Death Punch’s new album, F8, is as much a banger as anything they’ve released before.
-
Hysteria Magazine
F8 is a powerful album.
-
Silver Tiger Media
Bravara, FFDP. The musical Midas touch at work. Utterly astonishing.
-
Subculture Media
F8 is a phenomenal album that shows just how good Five Finger Death Punch can be at their best.
-
Planet Mosh
Jam packed full of expletives, raw honesty and rebellion, would you want a Five Finger Death Punch album any other way?, I doubt it.

Stargazed
The new album “F8” are by far the best record released so far this year and it will definitely end up on my top ten chart when it’s time to sum this year up.

Live Metal Blog
Ladies and gentlemen, Ivan Moody is back—a focused, reinvigorated and, most importantly, sober Ivan Moody, that is.
-
Outburn
F8 is the band’s best album in years, and to be honest, the argument could be made that this is the best album they have ever released.
-
Metal Invader
We know what we’re going to hear from FFDP and you know which of you want to hear their new work. They do not disappoint but unfortunately, they no longer offer that something extra.
-
The Gallery
It lacks the heaviness and the inspired riffs that the Americans had us used to. However, the catchy choruses as well as the dynamites “Bottom Of The Top” and “This Is War” make the album worth listening to.
-
JB Hi-Fi
5FDP have proved time and time again that the formula paid off. That process is repeated on F8 and their fanbase will love them for it.
-
The Music
With plenty of Gold and Platinum records on their walls, and an army of rusted-on fans who will stream these songs (even naff bonus track Death Punch Therapy) by the millions, this is a band nigh on critic-proof.

Beautifully insane.
