Background

In January 2015, the band announced they were recording a new album due later in 2015. [4]

On May 2, 2015, they released the title of the new album as Got Your Six. [5] On May 19, 2015, they released the art work for their new album and announced that the album will be released on August 28, 2015. They launched a preview for their new single titled "Jekyll and Hyde" in a special video message. [3] They also announced the dates of a co-headlining North American Tour with Papa Roach and accompanied by In This Moment as special guests with support from From Ashes to New for the tour, during which they will promote the album. [3] The release date was later moved back a week to September 4, 2015. [6]

Drummer Jeremy Spencer said of the new album in an interview, "I'm digging it, man. It's actually more brutal, with more extreme dynamics. There are some really mellow parts and then some really brutal parts. So we're running the whole gamut of sounds.". [3]

With the standard edition having a runtime of 38 minutes and 23 seconds, it makes Got Your Six the shortest Five Finger Death Punch album to date.
