Five Finger Death Punch just released a video for their second single off their most recent album, F8, "A Little Bit Off." The video was shot post-quarantine on the Las Vegas strip, with frontman Ivan Moody walking on the now-desolate streets that were typically packed. It should be noted Vegas re-opened this weekend.
Zoltan Bathory explains: "Our new record, 'F8', came out right at the exact moment COVID-19 smashed into western society and (naturally) all attention was diverted to the pandemic. It placed us in a difficult situation, where on one hand this is probably the best album we have ever made. On the other, it felt insensitive to promote a record on full-tilt boogie while people were dying all across the world, businesses closed down, and the economy went face down in a ditch. Since it affects all public events, and tours are cancelled for who knows how long, artists also became victims of the fallout. So we decided to make this video a snapshot of the unprecedented times and underline it with some humor to at least lighten the overall gloomy vibes. However, here we are today ready to release it… but thinking once again … is it insensitive to debut the video now that the world is on fire? I guess this will turn out to be the anthem for 2020… We are all 'a little bit off today.'"
