It was released on September 22, 2009 through Prospect Park. The album debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200, selling approximately 44,000 copies in its first week. It is also their last album to feature bassist Matt Snell, who departed from the band in late 2010.[5] War Is the Answer has been certified platinum in the U.S.,[6] with sales of 1,000,000.[7] Writing and recordingWar Is the Answer was announced as Five Finger Death Punch's second studio album in May 2009. The album was produced by Kevin Churko, who had previously produced Ozzy Osbourne's Black Rain, and mixed by Randy Staub, who had previously worked with Metallica, Nickelback, and Stone Sour.[8] Guitarist Zoltan Bathory, commenting on the style of the album, stated "we've continued the journey we started on the first album, so there's a healthy balance of melody and aggression, and as always we concentrated on writing strong metal songs in the traditional sense."[8]Bathory said to Metal Hammer about the album title: It's a phrase we've had up our sleeve for some time, and I've been talking about it a lot in interviews. In fact, somebody just said to me: "If war is the answer, then what is the question?", and I guess the answer to that is "life"! Basically, you're fighting against something or other right from the start – fighting for survival with pretty much everything against you, and there are occasions when the only really appropriate response is to punch someone in the mouth! It's a pretty involved subject once you really start to think about it, and this record covers it all – the deeper meaning and of course the more shallow one too![9] ReleaseAlthough War Is the Answer was originally announced to be released on June 8, 2009, but this was put back to October 6, 2009,[12] then brought forward to September 22, 2009.[10] On August 10, 2009, they announced the first leg of their Shock and Raw Tour, which will promote the new album. The second leg was announced on August 17, 2009. "Bad Company" was originally only played live. One of Jeremy's friends told him Five Finger Death Punch should record "Bad Company" and release it on their next album, "War Is The Answer" "Bad Company" was originally going to be a bonus track, but ended up making the standard edition of the album and became Five Finger Death Punch's biggest song. The two bonus tracks, "Succubus" and "Undone", were originally cut from their first album The Way of the Fist. A demo version of "Succubus" was leaked onto the Internet under the title "Hate Me". The band decided to re-record both songs and include them as bonus tracks on War Is the Answer. According to Jeremy Spencer's book, "Death Punch'd", Jeremy was drunk while editing "Succubus" and forgot to save the original edit. "Never Enough" was going to be on "War Is The Answer" but was then released as a bonus track on both the re-release and "The Iron Fist Edition" of "The Way Of The Fist" due to the band wanting to release the song before "War Is The Answer" Track listing{{track listing| all_writing = Five Finger Death Punch and Kevin Churko, except where noted | headline = Standard Edition | title1 = Dying Breed | length1 = 2:54 | title2 = Hard to See | length2 = 3:29 | title3 = Bulletproof | length3 = 3:16 | title4 = No One Gets Left Behind | length4 = 3:23 | title5 = Crossing Over | length5 = 2:54 | title6 = Burn It Down | length6 = 3:33 | title7 = Far from Home | length7 = 3:32 | title8 = Falling in Hate | length8 = 3:00 | title9 = My Own Hell | length9 = 3:35 | title10 = Walk Away | length10 = 3:42 | title11 = Canto 34 | length11 = 4:09 | title12 = Bad Company | note12 = Bad Company cover | length12 = 4:22 | title13 = War Is the Answer | length13 = 3:20 |total_length = 45:16 }}{{track listing | headline = iTunes Bonus Track | collapsed = yes | title14 = Walk Away | length14 = 3:40 | note14 = live |total_length = 48:47 }}{{tracklist | headline = Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks and Disc 1 of 10th Anniversary Edition | collapsed = yes | title14 = Succubus | length14 = 3:09 | title15 = Undone | length15 = 3:44 |total_length = 52:09 }}{{tracklist | headline = Disc 2 of 10th Anniversary Edition - Gone Rogue (live album) | collapsed = yes | title1 = Intro/Hard to See | length1 = | title2 = No One Gets Left Behind | length2 = | title3 = Far From Home | length3 = | title4 = The Bleeding | length4 = | title5 = Remember Everything | length5 = | title6 = Burn MF | length6 = | title7 = Coming Down | length7 = | title8 = Walk Away | length8 = | title9 = Bad Company | length9 = }} Charts

The first single from War Is the Answer, "Hard to See", began receiving radio play on July 13, 2009. The song was noted for having "undeniable melodies."
