* SelfReferentialTrackPlacement: The last song of ''Afterlife'' is titled "The End."

* JekyllAndHyde: "Jekyll and Hyde", the lead single off of ''Got Your Six'', is unsurprisingly about this trope.
-->''Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside!\\

* {{Mascot}}: The Knucklehead, noted for his [[SkullForAHead skeletal head]], red, hand-shaped FacialMarkings with a 5 in the middle and the spiky, four-fingered brass knuckle clenched in his teeth. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQUk1Bt0pz4 He was the subject of a video]] parodying The Most Interesting Man in the World ads.

* HeavyMetalMascot: The Knucklehead, noted for his [[SkullForAHead skeletal head]], red, hand-shaped FacialMarkings with a 5 in the middle and the spiky, four-fingered brass knuckle clenched in his teeth.

-->Damned if I do, damned if I don't\\

Damn you all to hell

--->Yeah, '''war is the answer''' like I told you before!\\

* TheAlcoholic: Ivan Moody, and it has taken a very significant and public toll on both him and the band as a whole. Moody has said that the lead single for ''F8'', "Inside Out", references his problems with alcohol.
** The video for “I Apologize” features Ivan walking around a graveyard, drinking from a flask as he honors the graves of past rock and metal stars. It ends with him finding his own grave and deciding to throw the flask into it.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Ivan was born in 1980, but he looks like he's in his early-to-mid-40s. Which is strange, because he was in his mid-''20s'' when the band's debut was recorded, and looked that age. As of 2020, he now looks much closer to his real age.

* TheAlcoholic: Ivan Moody, and it has taken a very significant and public toll on both him and the band as a whole. Moody has said that the lead single for their eighth album, "Inside Out", references his problems with alcohol.

* CallBack: "Inside Out" has the line "I give a shit, I never did", calling back to a similar line in "Under and Over It".

* JekyllAndHyde: "Jekyll and Hyde", the lead single off of ''Got Your Six'', seems to be about this trope.

--->Yeah, war is the answer like I told you before!\\

Round three, no mercy, it's the way of the fist!''

* TakeThat: They're quite... vocal critics to say the least.

* ChronologicalAlbumTitle: ''Got Your Six'' and ''F8'', being their sixth and eighth studio albums.

* {{Mascot}}: The Knucklehead, noted for his [[SkullForAHead skeletal head]], red, hand-shaped FacialMarkings with a 5 in the middle and the spiky, four-fingered brass knuckle clenched in his teeth.

! Five Finger Death Punch provides examples of:

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Far from Home" off ''War Is the Answer'', especially after its use in ''Series/CriminalMinds''. There's also "Crossing Over", which contains none of their signature heavy riffs or screaming vocals whatsoever. "Remember Everything" is probably the biggest example of this trope, and "Battle Born" also deserves a mention.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Zoltan Bathory.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually an 8 or 9, but they can drop down sometimes, even going as low as a 2 or 3 on some songs.

* BaldOfAwesome: Chris Kael. He also has a BadassBeard to go along with it.

* Jason Hook - lead guitar, backing vocals (since 2009)

* Janne Wirman - keyboards (since 2020)

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Ivan was born in 1980, but he looks like he's in his early-to-mid-40s. Which is strange, because he was in his mid-''20s'' when the band's debut was recorded, and looked that age.

** Then there’s “I Refuse”. Even more than “Remember Everything”, this song is incredibly “gentle” for 5FDP, to the point that if I hadn’t recognized Ivan’s voice, I wouldn’t have thought it was them.
