FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory has told British magazine Metal Hammer that the name of the group's sophomore album is "War Is The Answer". The disc, whih will be mixed by Randy Staub (noted for his work with METALLICA and NICKELBACK, among many others),is expected out sometime in late summer or early fall. Bathory told The Pulse of Radio that he wasn't worried about coming up with material for the band's second studio effort. "We have a lot to say," he said. "I tell you what, we're not going to be hurting for material for a long time probably. We have like three, four albums worth of stuff. So it's not gonna be an issue. It's pretty much just the mechanical part of like, you know, like properly recording the songs. You have to go to a good studio, you know what I mean, you have to spend some time. But all the material, yeah, we have a lot of stuff."

The band's next album will follow up its 2007 debut, "The Way Of The Fist", which has sold 323,000 copies.

The CD produced three singles, including "Stranger Than Fiction" and "Never Enough".

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH did confirm the departure of guitarist Darrell Roberts in January, replacing him with former ALICE COOPER axeman Jason Hook.
