Five Finger Death Punch Set ‘Legacy’ Album, Release “De Oppresso Liber”

Five Finger Death Punch have detailed their next album, Legacy. The 10-track record will be released digitally on July 31, with physical formats to follow on September 18. The title points directly at the band’s own timeline—this is a group marking two decades of existence, and the album operates as both a summation and a refraction of that history.

New single “De Oppresso Liber” lands with the announcement. Guitarist Zoltan Bathory nods to the Latin phrase—meaning “to free the oppressed”—as “a calling” and “a willingness to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves.” Musically, the song grafts arena-sized hard rock onto lyrics that wrestle with the human cost of political warfare, questioning how soldiers’ lives are spent in conflicts driven by distant decision-making.

“Legacy isn’t about looking backward,” vocalist Ivan Moody said in a statement. “20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We’re incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about Five Finger Death Punch while also pointing toward where we’re headed next.” The band previously shared “Eye of the Storm,” and a supporting world tour kicked off in June; the North American leg launches July 20 and runs through October 18.

The physical rollout is characteristically thorough—multiple vinyl colorways, three exclusive CD editions, a standard CD, and an indie-exclusive cassette. For a band that has rarely shied from large-scale gestures, Legacy sounds less like a final word and more like a firm restatement of intent.
