Five Finger Death Punch - Share The Welt Tour with All That Remains, Hatebreed and Rains December 10, 2011

Los Angeles-based thrash outfit Five Finger Death Punch (named after the infamous "Dim Mak" - The Death Punch - as a nod to classic Hong-Kong Kung-Fu Cinema) was formed in 2005 around the talents of former U.P.O. guitar player Zoltan Bathory, former W.A.S.P. guitarist Darrell Roberts, vocalist Ivan Moody (Motograter/Ghost Machine), bass player Matt Snell (Anubis Rising), and former W.A.S.P. drummer Jeremy Spencer. The underground supergroup's volatile but groove-heavy debut, Way of the Fist, was released in 2007 and yielded three Top 10 U.S. Radio hits, a Top 5 MTV Metal Video, a Kerrang “Best New Band” Award Nomination, and brought home Metal Hammer's prestigious Golden God Award for “Best New International Band.” The albums success combined with brute power of the band's live shows built them a hardcore fan following (deemed the “Knuckleheads”) that are infamous on their own as one of the loudest and rowdiest crowds of recent history. The album War is the Answer followed in 2009 which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release. Death Punch’s first single, "Hard To See" took only a coupleof weeks before crashing the party in Rock Radio's Top 10 - becoming their fourth Top 10 Rock Radio hit in as many tries and cementing them as the most promising band in hard rock and metal. Since its release in September 2009 the album has sold over 150,000 copies in the United States alone. Their most recent album, American Capitalist, was released in September of this year and contained the hit “Under and Over It” and “The Pride.”

All That Remains was formed by guitarist Oli Herbert and ex-Shadows Fall vocalist Phil Labonte in 1998.
In 2002, the band debuted with the album Behind Silence and Solitude and showcased the band's blistering and heavy take on melodically-infused, hardcore death metal. In 2004, the album This Darkened Heart was released to rave reviews. The record landed the band on various shows and tours. The group’s third full-length album was The Fall of Ideals, which appeared in July 2006 and after the release spent time on the European leg of the Sounds of the Underground Tour and the summer's Ozzfest. The album Overcome was released in 2008 and their most recent album effort came in October of 2010 with For We Are Many.

Hatebreed formed in 1993 for the purpose of creating a "back to basics" hardcore band with heavy, metallic guitars, screaming vocals, and 30-second songs. By 1997, the quintet's debut full-length, entitled Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire was released followed by 2002's Perseverance and 2003's Rise of Brutality. The album Supremacy arrived in 2006 and then in May 2009 the band released For the Lions, a covers album, followed by a new, self-titled studio album in September of that same year.

Rains hails from a small town in northern Indiana and was founded by frontman Jeff Rains. Rains commands the stage with a powerful sound and raw emotion that draws the audience in from the first phrase and offers a window into the heart and soul of “the American dream.” The band’s first single, "Liar," was a Top 15 hit on SiriusXM Octane, and their second single, "Look In My Eyes," hit radio this past September.
