BLOODBATH: 'The Fathomless Mastery' First-Week Sales Revealed
- Thread starter BastardSonOfGod
- Start date
well, is USA... not the same as europe for european bands. Also, that was the first week only.
I would like to see the european first-week sales.

Euro sales should be much more.
And US sales would be even higher once they find the time to tour here

And you have to remember that the album leaked...I doubt everyone that downloaded it had the manners to buy the real thing.

is it? for a country with more than 300million people 1000 cd's sold is ..not that much
but it's only the first week though ..so i guess your right lol
and once the video's out the album will probably be sold out everywhere (since they don't export that many albums..at least here in Canada i cant seem to find it)

I'm assuming this doesn't include pre-orders (?)...if it does then that makes sense...every Bloodbath fan I know is damn ravenous. To this day I still get horns from at least one person when I walk around with a Bloodbath shirt.
Even better when I went to Opeth two months ago my friend had an Unblessing the Purity, I had my Breeding Death, and we found a Resurrection Through Carnage, a Nightmares Made Flesh, and a Wacken Carnage. If only we had all lined up in the middle of the set and Mike saw...that just calls for a Bloodbath cover.

The European sales are going to be shit loads more. Anyone know what Bloodbath's total sales worldwide up to this day are?

Disappointing Americans. No surprises, though. I meet alot of Americans that are all "American Death Metal only, European sucks!". I'm assuming the sales in Europe are much higher, especially considering the fact that Bloodbath has actually had gigs here

You still have to consider that it's a Death Metal album. To sell something in metal you have to go roadrunner trend or Power Metal. Also, I think many people order this album from internet shops etc. and all those doesn't count into the billboard rank, right?

I agree with Stefan. These are decent first week sales in a country where metal is NOT the most popular form of music. You also have to consider that for every sold CD there are at least 2-3 people that have downloaded it, especially in metal. Bands don't really make money off of cd sales, they make more on merch and touring SO BUY T-SHIRTS!
On a slightly related note, I was looking for Morbid Angel cd sale numbers and came across this article:

Valid conclusion...that's how I got into Bloodbath originally. I liked Opeth, but I liked older Opeth more....so I heard Bloodbath and was basically like "Oh cool, a band where he growls all the time; SOLD!". But fact is, if someone doesn't like death metal, they just don't like death metal. There is a guy at work here who despises the death metal I try to show him, but he loves Opeth. I ask him how he tolerates the growls in those songs and he just said "Meh, it's different". So I dunno....
-D
Well, it IS different. In Opeth I think they are kind of used "melodically" although that doesn't make much sense. But that's the feel I get from it, while in death metal it's just br00tality. But if you don't like death metal, you're just plain wrong.

Yeah, but he doesn't like melodeath either....
I just think Opeth has a certain something that appeals to a lot of people.
Death metal is still pretty niche after all these years and death metal that most would consider "mainstream" is still pretty fucked up to the average person, haha.
