Here is the lead single from their upcoming pair of albums:
There are going to be two volumes of The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell and I'm not sure which one this will be one. I'm assuming volume one. It's a pretty weak lead single. I would take all 4 of the singles from the last album over this.

I like it more than some of those singles. Damn you set this one up for failure but I think it's pretty good haha.

A bit generic, but I liked it a bit.

It is the new #1 on active, their 2nd hit to top the chart:
3 1 Up this week FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Lift Me Up f/Rob Halford 1878 1702 176 4.804
So is it just me, or has the prestige of hitting #1 on this chart really died this year? I've lost track of how many #1s we've had, and a lot of them will be receiving minimal recurrent airplay 6 months from now. This whole year has been a mess because there haven't been any "major" hits.

This whole year has been a mess because there haven't been any "major" hits. I'd say "The Hangman's Bodycount" is the closest thing we've seen to a "major" hit. But let's be honest, "Active rock" and "major" are two things that no longer really go together.

^Yeah, I have to agree that "The Hangman's Body Count" had the biggest impact of any active single this year. I just don't see it on the same level as "Chalk Outline" last year, or "Another Way To Die" back in 2010.
Active isn't major anymore, and I hate admitting that since it will be my format of choice when I do my demo. I think it peaked in relevance during the early 2000s, and has been on a steady decline ever since. Now with bands that are relatively unknown to the average person hitting #1 (like Pop Evil, Volbeat and these guys), it just takes it down even lower.
