Five Finger Death Punch have shared another track from their upcoming album, AfterLife.

The band dropped the hard-hitting ‘IOU’ along with the lyric video that teases the band’s upcoming Metaverse project, described as a ‘gamified fan club experience”. FFDP also confirmed AfterLife will arrive August 19th.

In recording AfterLife, the band took an “anything goes” approach. That’s according to guitarist Zoltan Bathory, who says the group’s fan base has grown to the point where he and his bandmates can afford to experiment a little when they’re in the studio.

“At this point we have legions of loyal fans and our signature sound is more than established. It became its own island, our ground zero we operate from and we can always come back to. So when we started this record, there was an excitement of impending musical adventures. We knew we could step away as far as we wanted to; there was a freedom of truly ‘anything goes.’ This resulted in an album that is way more diverse than our previous ones while it feels more unified.”
