In a pretty impressive feat for 2011, Five Finger Death Punch moved over 91,000 copies of their latest album, American Capitalist, in its first week on sale to land in the No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
For comparison purposes, 2009's War Is The Answer sold just over 44,000 copies in its first week, and landed at No. 7 on the charts.
You can check out the band's video for the first single off American Capitalist, "Under and Over It," below.
