MH Swarms Top 5 In Germany!

MH Swarms Top 5 In Germany!

Oct 04, 2011

The international numbers are starting to pour in today, and fans have officially vaulted "Unto The Locust" into the highest chart positions in Machine Head's 17 year history, charting higher than they ever have in every single country reporting to date! Machine Head's new album lands at #5 on the German charts, #6 in Austria, #10 in Australia and Switzerland, #13 in France, #18 in Japan, #19 in New Zealand, #22 in Belgium and #28 in Norway! Shockingly, the record also landed at #82 (#7 on the Rock chart) on the UK charts on the strength of digital album sales alone (Metal Hammer Album Fanpack sales don't count toward chart position)! Thank you all so much for the incredible support!

Well done guys!!! Awesome album. I'm surprised though that you done so well in the UK after I think everywhere has fucked up the release.

Preordered magazine on HMV a month before due out, on day it was due, came up saying that it wouldn't be delivered for another 17 -21 days.

Got the magazine edition but every store was only getting 2 or 3 in at a time, and were all gone early on.

Again checked my local HMV at lunchtime and still they don't have the album out on the floor!!

Also see website below, they have wrong release date and can't order, same with other websites in the UK:

Fuck ups like this is why people would rather download illegally, go rip them a new hole Robb!!

See you at the SECC in December - Machine Head on the Monday and Trivium on the Tuesdays - this is going ot be brutal...
