It could probably go without saying, but Necrot released an absolute banger of a death metal record when they put out Lifeless Birth earlier this month. We liked it, you guys liked it, and apparently there’s enough excitement surrounding the band and the album that it’s hitting pretty hard on the charts.
Released back on April 12, Lifeless Birth has been tearing shit up. It’s been such a hit that Billboard revealed that the album landed at the number 3 spot on both Top New Artist and Top Albums – RED lists on its first week of release. And while that would be noteworthy in its own right, the album also received the following placements:
#4 – Current Hard Music Albums
#6 – Independent Record Label
#13 – Current Rock Albums
#23 – Internet Albums
#31 – Current Digital Albums
#39 – Current Album Sales
#39 – Digital Albums
#55 – Heatseekers
#57 – Album Sales
#61 – Top Albums – TEA
It’s great to see a band like Necrot getting their flowers for putting out one hell of a record. Here’s to seeing more of this sort of thing happen in metal!
