Five Finger Death Punch sued

2016-04-26 by Toondude | 60 Comments
Mainstream metal band Five Finger Death punch are being sued by their record label Prospect Park.

The label accused the band of "shamelessly attempting to cash in before the anticipated downfall of their addicted bandmate." Prospect Park also accused the band of failing to deliver another album as well as a greatest hits collection.

Prospect is currently seeking declaratory judgment that Five Finger Death Punch not only breached its contract with the label, but that they had no right to terminate it either (As the band threatened to move to a different label for the concern of lead vocalist Ivan Moody, who is currently dealing with Alcoholism). The label is also seeking an injunction and compensation.

The band has not issued a statement on the matter as of yet.

In my opinion that had at least three decent albums. But that's debatable.

No surprise there, what with albums titled War Is the Answer and American Capitalist.

With those sorts of titles you'd think they don't have much right to complain about being sued by their label. That's just the system working.

'shamelessly attempting to cash in...'

'..failing to deliver another album as well as a greatest hits compilation'

So basically they're being sued for shamelessly cashing in and then accused of failing to shamelessly cash in... Moar logicz..

but doing what's on your contract isn't 'cashing in' since you legally agreed to do it as part of your job. The label was going to cash in by making them agree to put out a compilation; since they didn't put out one ima just assume they didn't bc they didn't want to = not cashing in.

Worst thing that happens is the band breaks up. Which is coincidentally the best thing.

They're both as bad as each other.

Right wing band always brags about how great capitalism is etc.
Band tries to play system
Band gets screwed by system
System is still a crock of shite
Band is still shite.

Pretty sure supporting Trump is shamelessly cashing in by catering to the dumbass far-right anyway.. No surprises there, Trump's been doing that himself since he made his pitch. They'll probably run for office in another 4 years after they implode.

Weighing in a little late here but this band did a remix of one of their own tracks, using audio of Donald Trump calling refugee's rapists and murderers. Initially, people thought it was a joke, but then the guitarist came out and said something like "Fuck muslims" and said the whole band support Trump completely. So, not only is their music garbage, but they're a bunch of lowlife racist wife beaters (Ivan Moody has been known to hit his wives and girlfriends)

well I mean what other demographic would their music appeal to anyway? They're the 00's equivalent to Pantera but with energy drink back window decals instead of Confederate flags.
