Wie kommt das Album eigentlich im DF-Forum an?

[Aamon]

Keine Ahnung, aber es kommt überall gut an.
Ein Song wie Necromancer kann ja net ernsthaft gefallen.

sowas hätt ich mir mehr gwünscht wie der akustik mittelteil von children of the sun. das ist einfach göttlich. sowas gabs bei nostradamus zuhauf. gut, ich bin melancholiker, mag nur die große düsterkeit, das dramatische epos. mag nix nichtssagendes fröhliches

Wie kommt das Album eigentlich im DF-Forum an?

es ist eine Euphorie zu spüren, aber auch einige viele kritische Stimmen, also eher gemischt würde ich mal sagen

According to Billboard, JUDAS PRIEST's "Firepower" has entered the Billboard 200 chart at position No. 5, making it the band's highest-charting album ever. 2014's "Redeemer Of Souls" debuted and peaked at No. 6, while 2008's "Nostradamus" landed at No. 11 and 2005's "Angel Of Retribution" came in at No. 13.

"Firepower" moved 49,000 equivalent album units in first week of release. Of that sum, 48,000 were in traditional album sales, just shy of the 54,000 copies sold by "Angel Of Retribution" in that album's first week. The "Firepower" chart position was bolstered by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer in association with the band's current North American tour.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

As previously reported, "Firepower" landed at position No. 5 on the U.K. album chart. It marks the band's highest ranking, and first time in the Top 10, since "British Steel" reached No. 4 in 1980. Elsewhere, "Firepower" has also become PRIEST's first-ever No. 1 in Sweden.

"Firepower" was released on March 9 via Epic. The disc was recorded by British producer Andy Sneap, the band's longtime collaborator Tom Allom and engineer Mike Exeter (BLACK SABBATH). The cover artwork for "Firepower" was created by the Chilean/Italian artist Claudio Bergamin.
