Undoubtedly one of the most relevant and successful rock bands globally, Five Finger Death Punch dominated 2013 with the releases The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell - Volume 1 and Volume 2. Both volumes debuted on the U.S. Billboard album chart at #2 (more notably, within a four-month period) and in the top ten mainstream charts all across the globe. The two albums feature three #1 radio hit singles (“Lift Me Up” featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest, “Battle Born” and “Wrong Side Of Heaven”) and have combined sales of over 800,000 units to date. The multi-million selling rock titans’ single “The Wrong Side Of Heaven” was their 14th consecutive top ten hit at Active Rock Radio and the video for the song has over 24 million views online. The band will release their highly anticipated sixth album this summer. Visit www.fivefingerdeathpunch.com for more information.
Since their formation in 1999, Seether has become one of the most successful bands in the world. The hard-rocking outfit has released seven albums, two of which have gone Platinum and two more that are certified Gold. The consistent hit makers have enjoyed massive support at rock radio with singles sales topping seven million. Additionally, Seether has emerged into global headlining mainstays, regularly delivering blistering performances at many of the world's biggest rock festivals. Their sixth studio album, Isolate and Medicate was released in July 2014 to rave reviews and impressive sales with a #4 debut on Billboard’s Top 200 Album chart. The album’s first smash single “Words As Weapons” spent five weeks at #1, making it the band’s 12th #1 hit. “Nobody Praying For Me,” Isolate and Medicate’s just-released third single, has quickly been embraced by rock radio as Seether sets up for another dominant run on the airwaves.
Widely acknowledged as one of modern hard rock’s most explosive live acts, Halestorm made a stunning Top 5 chart debut in April with their acclaimed new album, Into The Wild Life. The GRAMMY® Award-winning band’s long awaited third studio album arrived at #5 on the Billboard 200, and #3 on SoundScan’s “Top Current Albums” chart while also entering their “Top Current Rock Albums” chart and “Top Current Hard Music Albums” chart at #1, marking Halestorm’s highest placement to date on all charts.
