Five Finger Death Punch have released a video for their track My Nemesis.
It’s taken from their latest album, Got Your Six, which was launched last year.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory says of the song: “Everyone has a nemesis. It can be anything – a self-defeating thinking pattern, a bad habit, an addiction, an adversary. Something or someone that puts you in an impossible scenario. Sometimes there is no other choice but making a hard choice. You can give up and just suffer the situation, or you can use your pain to overcome it, as pain is truly the wind in the sails of change.
“We wanted to present a story about moving on, a story that probes and questions compassion and loyalty. Those are beautiful notions. But remember you have to be loyal and fair to yourself as well.
“So, will you sacrifice yourself for another or will you live with the guilt that you didn’t?”
5FDP want fans to join them in facing down personal demons by posting social media messages that complete the phrase “#MyNemesis is … and I will #OVERCOME.” Contributions can be seen on the band’s website.
They tour Australia and North America in the coming months, before returning to Europe in June, and they’ve just confirmed an appearance at this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals.
