Five Finger Death Punch, the legendary heavy metal band, has achieved yet another milestone by securing their 18th No. 1 hit. This incredible achievement was celebrated on Monday as their latest single, “Eye Of The Storm,” claimed the top spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
“Eye Of The Storm” was officially released on May 15 as the lead single from their upcoming 10th studio album, Legacy, scheduled to be released on July 31. This album marks their first release since the 2022 studio album, AfterLife.
This recent accomplishment marks the band’s 18th single to reach the pinnacle of the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, solidifying their position as record-breakers with the most consecutive number-one hits in the 45-year history of the chart.

When discussing the upcoming album, Bathory highlighted how “Legacy” is a reflection of the band’s journey and experiences, encapsulating their legacy as metal icons. He stated, “Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and ‘Legacy’ is exactly what the title suggests. It’s a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we’ve experienced over the last two decades.”
Bathory expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support of Five Finger Death Punch’s devoted fanbase, acknowledging that their fans played a crucial role in the band’s success over the years. He remarked, “What makes that journey meaningful is that we didn’t make it alone. We traveled this road alongside millions of fans around the world and somehow became part of each other’s lives. That’s an incredible thing to reflect on twenty years later.”
This noteworthy accomplishment comes at a time when Five Finger Death Punch is gearing up for the release of Legacy, their highly anticipated 10th studio album. With their 18th No. 1 hit, the band continues to carve out their place in the annals of heavy metal history, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in their storied career.
