Multi-platinum hard rock band Five Finger Death Punch continue to mark their 20th anniversary and will be bringing out a companion greatest hits collection, Best Of – Volume 2 – following on from Volume 1 – due 24th October 24, 2025 via Better Noise Music.
Both collections feature newly rerecorded versions of the band’s biggest anthems, created in response to their former label’s sale of the original song masters – made without the band’s knowledge or the opportunity to reclaim their legacy.
Turning that setback into something powerful and positive, the band chose not to simply remix or remaster but to fully rerecord fan favourites across two volumes of greatest hits – both as a tribute to the songs and to the fans who’ve stood with the band over the last two decades.
The first single from Best Of – Volume 2 is the 2025 version of ‘The End’ featuring Babymetal. Vocalist Su-Metal reflected: “We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project featuring guest artists on past songs. Five Finger Death Punch and Babymetal had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then.
“I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of ‘The End’, and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track. My favourite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with “Negai o kakete” right after the chorus into the break — I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”
Best Of – Volume 2 is being released worldwide in multiple formats, including standard CD and vinyl, a limited edition CD exclusive to Walmart, multiple collectible vinyl editions available at Best Buy, Walmart, the Five Finger Death Punch webstore, indie retail, and a Revolver Magazine exclusive.
