Five Finger Death Punch have announced Chris Kael as replacement for bassist Matt Snell, who was fired at the end of last year. And the new man says he's "living proof dreams can come true". The band have not given a reason why Snell was dismissed, with guitarist Zoltan Bathory explaining: "Yes, he was fired. We have a contract with Matt and it says I can't tell you anything that would hurt his career if he goes any further." But they've now released photos of their most recent recruit and say: "You'll have the chance to see him this summer. It's time to get this ball rolling and get back on the road – we can't wait to hit it."
