FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH are celebrating 20 years of heavy-metal dominance with Greatest Hits – Volume 2, out October 24 via Better Noise Music — and Jai from Metal on Tap sat down with Zoltan Bathory to talk about this milestone release, re-recording the band’s biggest songs, and their explosive new collaboration with BABYMETAL on “The End.”
Zoltan opens up about the band’s two-decade journey, how re-recording fan favourites reignited old memories, and why FFDP chose to reclaim their catalogue instead of letting the past define them. From “Blue on Black” to “Burn MF”, “Cradle to the Grave”, and “Wrong Side of Heaven” (Live) — this collection captures the evolution, energy, and emotional core of one of modern metal’s most powerful bands.
He also dives deep into how the BABYMETAL collaboration came together, what it means to see Japanese lyrics hit Top 10 radio in America, and how the song “The End” channels cinematic, samurai-style imagery with a global sound that bridges cultures.
Plus, Zoltan talks about working smarter (not harder) on the road, recording every live show for “virtual soundchecks,” and the connection between the fans and the band’s ongoing success: “It’s always been a people’s band — by the people, for the people.”
🎧 Best Of – Volume 2 features 16 re-recorded anthems and three unreleased live tracks, available worldwide on CD, vinyl, and limited editions.
