The platinum-selling arena rockers' eighth studio effort -- and first to feature new drummer Charlie Engen -- is aptly named. Puns aside, F8 also happens to be the function key used to access the Windows recovery system, which dovetails nicely with Five Finger Death Punch wildman Ivan Moody, who underwent his own bit of rehabilitation in 2017. Having successfully sworn off the booze, Moody and company have crafted a baseline-angst bonanza that rolls in with the subtlety of a Michael Bay action sequence and never looks back. Produced with sizable modern rock radio heft by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed), the overlong set (16 tracks if you count the bonus cuts) commences with a bit of orchestral bombast before unleashing a pair of groove-laden stadium bangers ("Inside Out" and "Full Circle") that are among the heaviest of the band's career. The punishing "Scar Tissue" and "This Is War" follow suit, with the poppy "A Little Bit Off" and the heartfelt closer "Brighter Side of Grey" doing their due diligence as palate cleansers. Moody's vocals have never sounded better, even if the material tends to play it safe -- F8 ticks off all of the FFDP boxes, and to be fair, moves at a steady clip, with only two tracks clocking in over four minutes. Love them or hate them, Five Finger Death Punch are a band who know their product and have become ruthlessly efficient at manufacturing it. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
