Five Finger Death Punchin Ivan Moody: ”Halusimme luoda albumin, joka kestää aikaa, eikä unohdu saman tien”
Yhdysvaltalainen metalliyhtye Five Finger Death Punch julkaisi uuden, ”F8”-nimisen albuminsa viime viikon perjantaina Better Noise Recordsin kautta. Bändin laulaja Ivan Moody on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Michiganissa sijaitsevalle radiokanava Z93:lle levyyn liittyen. Haastattelussa Moody kertoi bändin pyrkineen luomaan aikaa kestävän albumin, joka ei pyöri ihmisten soitossa vain julkaisupäivänään. Moody kertoi aiheesta seuraavaa:
”It’s like going through a transmutation, man,” he explained (hear audio below). ”You get to a point where you start realizing that what you’ve done is amazing and you’re proud of it, but there’s so much more to accomplish. So many projects get to a certain level and they become content, and that’s all that they ever expected or wanted.

”We wanted to make a record that wasn’t just here today and gone tomorrow,” he continued. ”We wanted something that would be timeless. We wanted a piece that people could really hold on to and that covered all the different colors of the rainbow, so to speak, of this band and the individuals in it.
”I’m trying not to be too formal, but at the same time, I wanna drop F-bombs, dude,” he added. ”This is fucking awesome. This album is just out of this world. Every song has a story. We went off the beaten path from what a lot of people would have thought we would have done, and it was just really fun for us, man. And I think at the end of the day, the monotony was gonna get a hold of us. So to have time and to go in there and really develop, again… I mean, it is — it’s a phoenix for us, coming out of what I would call an artistical ash, so to speak.
”The last couple of albums, I’m proud of ’em, but, to me, they weren’t everything they could have been. There were songs that really stuck out, but as a whole, I think that they were kind of slacking in certain places. So, it was our responsibility to go in there and say, ’How sincere are we? Do we love music or do we love the job?’ And that’s the difference. We love music. And wanted to make sure the world knew. So I think we did a fucking fantastic job on that.”
