Watch Zoltan Bathory crash his monster truck

Bathory was unhurt in the crash

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory is seen in a video crashing his Knucklehead monster truck.

He lost control of the giant vehicle during a turn and rolled it during an appearance at the Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City, Utah.

But he wasn’t injured – and later said: “I broke the fourlink bar so it buckled when I turned. Big crash. Alive is good.”

Ahead of the incident the band released a race preview video, in which Bathory predicted how he’d drive: “Big jump, wall is coming, oh shit, oh shit, brake!”

The Knucklehead truck was conceived when the guitarist met Monster Jam Free Style world champion Jimmy Creten in 2013, and first rolled into action the following year.

Five Finger Death Punch are in the process of recording their seventh album. They appear at this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK next weekend before heading out on a US tour starting on September 9 and ending on November 18.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
