The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1, Five Finger Death Punch's fourth studio album, hit on July 30, 2013, through Prospect Park, the first of two records the Las Vegas bruisers put out that year. Kevin Churko produced it alongside the band, and it's groove metal with the chrome polished to a blinding shine: Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook trading chugging riffs, Chris Kael on bass and Jeremy Spencer on drums pounding out the low end, and Ivan Moody swinging between a throat-shredding bark and a big arena croon.
"Lift Me Up" is the fist-pumper, and "Wrong Side of Heaven" trades some of the aggression for a heavy heart; its video later won Video of the Year at the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Awards. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 113,000 copies, their best showing yet, and eventually went platinum.
