LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Eleven Seven Music Group) Hard rock band Five Finger Death Punch's highly anticipated 'The Wrong Side Of
Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell Volume 1' (Eleven Seven) has debuted as a global success. The album has achieved career highs for the band, as well as reaching #1 in the UK Official Rock & Metal Chart, it had a mainstream chart debut at #2 in Billboard 200 in the United States, #3 in Canada, #4 in Germany, alongside impressive entries in other territories across the globe. The lead single "
Lift Me Up" (featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest) is currently #1 on the U.S. Active Rock charts for the third consecutive week. This successful debut shows that
Five Finger Death Punch are challenging the notion that "Rock is Dead," as they look poised to deliver a fourth consecutive Gold certified album following the successes of The Way of The Fist (2007), War Is The Answer (2009) and American Capitalist (2011). Cumulative single sales have now exceeded 4.5 million. Wally Van Middendorp, General Manager International, Eleven
Seven Music Group said: "The great global first week sales and chart positions of the new album show that hard work pays off and that GREAT ROCK music can find a big audience."
