Five Finger Death Punch is being sued by their record label. The band released a statement on the lawsuit saying that the lawsuit is “the latest in a long line of exploitative and abusive bullying tactics used by our former manager and current label CEO Jeff Kwatinetz to extract money from and wield power against the band.”

The statement goes on to state that Five Finger Death Punch is prepared to record and deliver the final album this year under its recording agreement, but the label chose to sue instead of allowing them to record.
