The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2

The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2 is the latter half of the two-part set, released in the wake of that year's first chapter — a record that widened Five Finger Death Punch's expression with darker grooves and melody. With Kevin Churko again producing, it plays weighty riffs and melodic choruses alongside introspective shadow. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Top Rock Albums. Selling about 77,000 copies in its first week, the album is also known by the alternate name The Righteous Side of Hell. The lead single "Battle Born," whose title derives from the state flag of the band's home Nevada, is a signature song that topped the Mainstream Rock chart. From the direct impact of "Wrecking Ball" and "Here to Die" to a bold reading of the traditional "House of the Rising Sun," a wide range of songs line up. On emotional numbers like "Cold," Ivan Moody's vocal conviction stands out. Forming a pair with the first chapter while presenting a more shadowed side, it is the completion of an ambitious double album.
