Surprised, but not surprised. These kinds of behind closed doors deals have become far too common in the music industry. Labels buy, sell or trade artist’s work without their knowledge or consent, reducing them to soulless commodities. But life is a chess game so when this happened to Taylor Swift, she responded by re-recording her catalog. After that respectably bold move, her fans switched to streaming the new version out of protest and loyalty. We have one of the most hardcore and loyal fan bases on the planet so I know our fans will do the same.”</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Coincidentally, this year marks the band’s 20th anniversary, and they were already thinking about how to commemorate two decades worth of music, so when this curveball was thrown, they chose to turn it into something positive and powerful. </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The idea of a remix or remaster wasn&#x27;t enough, so the band created a completely re-recorded 2025 edition to honor the songs and the fans who have made them matter by being with Five Finger Death Punch every step of the way.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The band emphasized their respect for the original recordings and the people they made them with but are also excited to breathe new life into fan favorites like <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6LRmV5GZUjKLgxi7lBWriQ?si=8847e920eead45e4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“The Bleeding”</u></strong></a> <strong><u>“Bad Company”</u></strong> and <strong><u>“Wrong Side of Heaven”</u></strong> and to share this new chapter with fans around the world.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KAuyEG7JPbE?si=Gw7QDHhNNebQUh7X" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">The first offering from the 20th Anniversary Edition, in a poetic coincidence happens to be titled <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0fMIhVO47aLOTwYgizGmPc?si=fb68706207924e2d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“I Refuse,”</u></strong></a> a fan favorite that was always meant to be a single.
