When Five Finger Death Punch brought up legendary Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford out to perform a new track at the Golden Gods a few weeks ago, I was pretty shocked. Seems like an odd pairing, no? Well, the odd pairing's radio single just hit and here it is:

How the hell did Five Finger even get in contact with Halford? The track is a typical a Five Finger affair until about 1:37 when one of the greatest voices in the history of metal chimes in. If this track was blasting on the radio, I'm not sure I would even make it that far to even know Halford is on the track.
Either way, if you like Five Finger Death Punch, you'll dig this song. If you don't like them, the Halford guest appearance will surly not change your mind.
I will say, this is better than if Halford collaborated with Black Veil Brides, and I know Ivan Moody agrees with me.
Here is video of the live performance from the Golden Gods for another perspective on the track:
Five Finger Death Punch will be spending the summer on the Mayhem Festival. We are giving away tickets to each stop of the tour. Enter here.
