From AfterLife (2022). AfterLife is a studio album by the American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch, released on 19 August 2022 by Better Noise Music. The album's personnel list credits Zoltan Bathory and Andy James with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson American Series Soloist SL3 through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Five Finger Death Punch's other songs from AfterLife, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
