Carcass Comments On First Week Sales

Carcass' new album, "Surgical Steel", has hit the Billboard charts with the following numbers:

Finland: #6
Germany: #10
Austria: #24
Sweden: #42
UK: #47

Commented the band: "Wow! Well, we had every faith in the fact that we've recorded a very strong album and we had every faith in our label, Nuclear Blast, that they would work their asses off — but this is AMAZING news!!! This even more impressive when you consider that our album 'leaked' a month before the release date AND that we didn't target the charts in the summer when it was 'soft' and easier to chart high. "CARCASS was up against some strong mainstream releases this past week! "Thanks to all the listeners who bought the album — it goes to prove to all the cynics out there wrong — people DO still buy albums, especially metalheads! "If you bought the album, you should be proud of yourselves! "Again, thanks from us!"

Surgical Steel Was released on Sept 17 via Nuclear Blast Records.
