BOOTLEG: EXCLUSIVE FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH TRACK, “HARD TO SEE”
In our never-ending quest to give you, the reader, the best music available, we present the Revolver Bootleg series. Throughout each month, we’ll post cool, new tracks right here for you to hear before anyone else.
This installment is an exclusive stream of the song “Hard to See” by power-groove bruisers Five Finger Death Punch, off their forthcoming album, War is the Answer (Prospect Park), which doesn’t hit stores until this fall. So crank up your speakers, and read on to see what guitarist Zoltan Bathory has to say about the making of the song, what it means, and why it was chosen as the album's lead single.
REVOLVER What’s the song “Hard to See” about?
ZOLTAN BATHORY It's about seemingly irresolvable differences. It's valid in just about any setting: politics, religion, relationships… Everything is “only an opinion” based on limited information, yet people sometimes get attached to their point of views to the extreme…in fact, to the point they would launch wars over them.
Which part of it did you guys come up with first?
We always write complete songs before Ivan [Moody, vocals] gets them to write lyrics to. Almost like, a song has to be strong enough to stand on its own as an instrumental piece. In this case, too, we had the music completely done first.
Was this an easy song to write or record?
This one came together really fast. It was one of those “magical moments” when all the stars aligned. This came together within a day.
How did you decide where to place “Hard to See” on the album?
We actually don't have the final sequence yet, but I think the flow of the album is very important. We are looking at the vibe, the speed, the overall mood of every song when we are deciding the order. Listening to an album has to be a journey.
What sort of feedback have you gotten on this song so far?
It became our first single because everybody who heard it so far got really excited about this song.

FFDP RULE!!!
CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE REST OF THIS ALBUM! KNUCKLEHEAD 4 LIFE, MOTHAFUCKAS!!!
"Hard to See"
What's up Knuckleheads and 5FDP! First off, I miss you! Secondly, I love this song. It seems more "radio friendly" than some off of The Way Of The Fist. I hope that translates into more airtime, fans, and ulitimately more record sales! Can't wait to hear all of it and get another interview with you guys! Great job, keep up the good work, keep it "Brutal". lol!

To the pussy that can't leave his or her name.
My name is Cory, and you obviously have no concept of good music or the great bands that create the music. So I recomend you go do what you do best and go hide in the closet that you came out of to write your post. 5FDP you guys Rock so just keep up the great work for your fans. New tune sounds good, and can't wait for the rest. Who knows maybe will see you at the Mayhem festival next year.

fuck ya this song rocks
fuck ya this song rocks
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!! TYPICAL BULLSHIT SLOWING THEIR MUSIC DOWN
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
They may have slowed their music down, but that doesn't mean that their music can't still kick ass. I happen to think that this song was very well put together.
Just because the music has
Just because the music has slowed down doesn't make it bad, its not as good as the fast heavy stuff but that happens because bands usually make singles that are for the radio and then they make the stuff they play live which is like their frist cd, its like the bleeding, thats their radio single which is a lot more mellow than their other songs so why aren't you dissing the Bleeding? This is the same as this new song. So stop dissing a good band.
You are a huge bag of douche...
Fuck off you pussy! This song rocks! Go listen to your gay ass Van Halen or whatever fags like you listen too, sip your wine cooler and shut your fucking mouth!!
nah
I heard a few songs from the new album, there are a couple of epic pieces like this one (Hard to see) but overall the album is heavy as fu*k!
nah
There are a couple of epic songs like this but the rest of the new album is BRUTAL
Fag, the rest of the album
Fag, the rest of the album is just as hard as always. you gotta love dumbasses too quick to judge. This song is a little slower but it still kicks your ass.
5FDP
knucklehead 4 life bitches!!! doesnt matter what these dipshits think! It fucking rocks if you dont think so, your a fag!!!!!!! What????? Fuck you!!!!!
If your desire is shitty
If your desire is shitty speed thrash metal go listen to something else . At least with FFDP you can understand the lyrics. You are obviously not a fan so why don't you post your opion up your own ass FUCK FACE!!!!
you
fucking fag, grow some balls this shit is so fuckin weak and that is coming from a ffdp fan
if u were a 5fdp fan then
if u were a 5fdp fan then you wouldnt only like the hardcore music but the fact that there lyrics are amazing and this song continues that trend.
That's such bullshit. I'm
That's such bullshit. I'm a 5FDP fan and this sound is fucking horrible. I'll go back and listen to the first album and maybe some Motograter to make me feel better.
This shit is so fucking weak. It always happens. A new band comes out and has an amazing first album. They get a little popular and then the second album has a softer, more "radio friendly" side. FUCK the radio.
ur full of bullshit!
ur a noob, u dono wat u talkin about, this jus 1 song of the new album, go hear "Burn it Down" these guys r still fucking awesomely brutal... nd u ssay ur 5fdp fan, so y u not dissin the bleeding, it was much slower then this, nd dats da track u know dat made u start listenin 2 5fdp.. so shut da fuck up u fucking noob!
why the fuck is everyone
why the fuck is everyone saying their songs are fuking slowing down, this is ONE song off thier album has anyone heard ''burn it down'' which is also a new song on thier ablum, its not slow thats for fuking sure. you cant judge a whole album or band on one song, you can get an idea on what the band might be like but thats about it just an idea not an actual placement on how the rest of the songs are gonna be
hey dipshit
Just cause one song is not as rough as their first cd doesn't mean the whole cd is the same. It's called broading their horizons and seeing what else the people like. So shut the fuck up and just wait and see what the rest of the cd is like.
This band is the shit! This
This band is the shit! This song is a reminder why 5fdp are fucking rockstars. Can't wait for the album
wow... i didn't think they
wow... i didn't think they could suck worse than the last album. i guess they can.
wow
dude seriously learn what good music is. their first album kicked ass and just from this song i'm positive that their next one will be just as good if not better
And if you dont like the
And if you dont like the band...why are you searching for their new single anyways? Go back and listen to your Widespread Panic bullshit
Fucking pussies!!
u bitches don't know what real metal is!! 5fdp is the shit and even tho they've slown down a bit they are still one of the most hardcore bands in the world! War Is The Answer!!!!
Hmm
Yea, I fucking loved about 90% of the first album, but the brutality has definitely taken a decline, The other streaming song, "Burn it Down," might as well be called "The Other Way of the Fist," IDK 5FDP always had the "we are gonna be Disturbed and suck it up mainstream style after we have one good CD," and I think that's what's gonna happen... Sorry Death Punch, I hope you prove me wrong, but I doubt it.
right
... and you KNOW that because..... ??? Like as IF these guys are talking to you and told you their "plan" ?
PFFFFFFF !
You know this is truly HILARIOUS !!! If you (would be able to) read what this song is about (above) - IT IS ABOUT A-HOLES LIKE YOU!

Here you are - "launching BBS wars" over "opinions" based on limited information (one song from the new album) - now THAT is irony. HAHA ! Stab yourself in the eye with a spoon you retard... obviously, the most important part of your face is your stupid mouth you can't control ! Haha - try to put your foot in it.

Peronally I love it.
5FDP has always pushed the envelope on in your face METAL, and with their second album due out on Sep. 22nd. I'm really stoked. I love this band and each member in it. They are great down to Earth guys who deserve to be considered one of the greats of out time.
this song is the most retarded thing i've heard
seriously. beyond gay. who listens to this band? besides the moron who posted the comment before me?
Then why did you click the
Then why did you click the 5FDP link dumbass, cause obviously you do.
hey jackass
Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you have to be so offensive. And, unless this is the first time you're hearing FFDP, why did you check it out if you don't like them? Anyway, love the new tracks so far. This new record is getting better and better!
Fuck you
Dude, you honestly have no taste if you hate 5FDP.
I love it!! Not as good as "The Way of the Fist", but, still good.
5FDP Rocks!
Just like ppl change their style everyday..My fave group isn't always going to sound the same on every song.. cut em some slack! We haven't even had a chance to enjoy the rest of the music on the disc yet and ppl are talking smack! Come on! get a life, Let's see you do better you naysayers! I am sure they will continue to rock our socks off for years to come(even tho i miss Darrell!)
You're a douchebag
Seriously, why be a troll? If you don't like their music, go to a different site and listen to something else.
Hey Asshole take your
Hey Asshole take your baseless, unresearched ignorant ass opinion, sit on it until its so far up you ass you can taste it. listen to their first album, they all have undeniable musical talent - maybe not the most shred/death metal style, but it is well produced, well thought out, and lyricaly sound. who listens to this band? probably people that will stomp your cum guzzling, ass rimming face into the ground.
fuck yeah bro what u just
fuck yeah bro what u just said..we all who hear this will stomp his little scared bitch ass to the floor like in mayhem tour in san antonio when that douch bag threw a bottle at a kid..he got his ass rolled by everyone..
