Five Finger Death Punch Unveils Nails In The Coffin Video as 10th-Album Legacy Launches
On July 31, 2026, Five Finger Death Punch hit two milestones at once: the official music video for “Nails In The Coffin” premiered on the band’s YouTube channel, and their tenth studio album, Legacy, became available digitally. The video, which echoes the hard‑rock swagger that defined the band’s early catalog, swam to millions of views in hours.
In a short interview, guitarist Zoltan Bathory unpacked the song’s core idea: it’s about “burying the things that tried to bury us,” a nod to the group’s 20‑year resilience. He added that the lyricism is deliberately ambiguous, letting each listener carve out their own meaning.
Legacy dropped digitally on July 31 and will reach CD and vinyl fans on September 18. The 36‑minute, 43‑second record is the band’s shortest to date and the first since The Way of the Fist to be produced without longtime collaborator Kevin Churko. It follows the singles “Eye of the Storm” and “De Oppresso Liber” and marks the 20th anniversary of the band’s formation, celebrating two decades of touring, charting, and fan engagement.
The group’s summer tour, launched in early August, carries Legacy across the country. Co‑headliners Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire join 5FDP on the road. Remaining dates include shows in Montreal, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Washington, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia; some dates, such as those in Phoenix and Albuquerque, feature only the band.
Formed in Las Vegas in 2005, Five Finger Death Punch has released ten studio albums, four of which earned platinum status. Vocalist Ivan Moody and guitarist Zoltan Bathory are the only members to appear on every record. Recent releases F8 (2020) and AfterLife (2022) continued the group’s tradition of aggressive, dynamic songwriting.
With the video premiere, digital album launch, and a nationwide tour, Five Finger Death Punch is actively celebrating its 20‑year legacy while pushing forward with new material and live performances, underscoring its sustained influence in the heavy‑metal genre.
