A band sporting a name like Five Finger Death Punch isn't making music for delicate ears, and new single "Stranger Than Fiction" follows the trail of previous Hot Mainstream Rock chart top 10s "Never Enough" and "The Bleeding": unflinching, ballistic metal with guitars that practically bleed shrapnel. But the Los Angeles quintet also displays a versatility with its vocals, lyrics and rhythms that sets it many notches above mindless thugging. The soothing intro to "Fiction" is kicked aside in seconds by Zoltan Bathory's and Darrell Roberts' zippery licks, Matt Snell's thudding bass and Jeremy Spencer's dexterous beats. And even though frontman Ivan Moody usually sends off squalls like a windstorm, he can sing laudably when a song like this one requires it. —Christa L. Titus
