Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch announced today the digital deluxe edition of ‘Afterlife‘. Their critically acclaimed ninth studio album will now be released April 5 via Better Noise Music. The deluxe version includes the original 12 tracks recorded with the band’s long time producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne) in addition to four bonus tracks: acoustic versions of the album’s songs ‘The End‘, ‘Judgement Day‘, and ‘Thanks For Asking’ plus a brand new song, ‘This Is The Way‘ featuring the legendary late rapper DMX. The official music video for ‘This Is The Way’ (feat. DMX) is directed by none other than highly influential filmmaker Hype Williams, a long time friend and close collaborator of the late DMX. Hailed by the New York Times in 2024 as “The Nineties Wunderkind”, Hype Williams is known for his seminal work with luminaries like Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, and Jay-Z amongst others. The video will be released coinciding with the deluxe edition of ‘Afterlife‘ on April 5, 2024.
