Formed in 2005 with former members of Motograter and WASP, 5FDP has the backing of the management company of Korn, Staind, and Limp Bizkit which no doubt helped obtain the publicity needed to get the band a spot on TV, a tour, and a position on the music charts regardless of having a style that is being done to death by modern bands--harsh verses commingle with softer choruses within a punchy groove metal set (they border on Thrash, but don't think from the title they have much relation to Death metal). 5FDP can't be denied on the basis of originality alone with the hooks and combinations they have on The Way of the Fist. They sound like multitudes of aggro-metal bands busting people's chops across America, but when the final decision is made their energy, skill and hooks deserve a band-worth of fists be raised in triumph and victory.
