DARKANE's Demonic Art on Billboard Heatseekers Chart
Category: Music

DARKANE - DEMONIC ART - LANDS ON BILLBOARD HEATSEEKERS CHART

DARKANE’s fifth studio album, Demonic Art, has sold over 640 copies according to Nielsen Soundscan in the first week of release and landed at #104 on the Billboard Heatseekers (Top New Artist) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. With over 240 digital sales of Demonic Art, the total number of albums sold during the first week of release registers over 880 copies.

Checking in from their current North American tour with Soilwork, Warbringer, and Swallow The Sun, DARKANE guitarist Christofer Malmström responds to the positive news:
“We are very happy to have landed on the Billboard charts for the first time in our career! Thanks to everybody who has bought the album so far. This feels great and hopefully the huge North American tour that we are doing right now will make more people know about us. The tour has been very successful so far and we still have about 5 weeks left. If you haven’t bought the album yet, please go get it. DARKANE is here to stay!”

According to Metal Edge’s March 2009 interview with Malmström, inspiration for his lyrical contributions to the album “came from a variety of sources. ‘Execution 44’ was inspired by a book about a woman living in a Polish concentration camp and what her life was like before she was executed. ‘Wrath Connection’ was inspired by a Dean R. Koontz novel in which a sane person and a serial killer can see into each other’s realities. ‘Still In Progress’ acknowledges that the band remembers its fans and is continuing its journey forward.”
