The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on April 1 via Epic. The chart will be unveiled on Wednesday, April 9."La Gárgola" was recorded in Pasadena, California instead of the band's usual spot in their hometown of Chicago, and follows up 2011's "Hats Off To The Bull".The "La Gárgola" cover, which can be found below, features a dark figure wearing a buttoned up coat and a beak-like mask worn by plague doctors back in the days.

TwingeDrummer Sam Loeffler explained the group's sound to Loudwire Reloaded, saying: "At the end of the day I think we sound like our band without trying to sound like somebody else, and that's important. But at the same time you hope your music evolves. To me, it does evolve, but it's still melodic hard rock music which is what inspires us to want to write."The first single, "Take Out The Gunman", addresses the issues of guns and mass shootings, but Loeffler says it's also about more than that. "It is hitting a little close to home," he tells The Pulse Of Radio. "However, certainly it's about that but the real point is about how the media sensationalizes it and how it perpetuates it, because we talk about it so much and concentrate on it so much, which is when you put something on television, it just becomes bigger than life and then, you know, the age-old question is, if you don't put it on TV and nobody knows about it, will it happen less? I don't know."The official lyric video for "Take Out The Gunman" can be seen below.The trio is on the road as part of a headlining tour with MIDDLE CLASS RUT and OH BROTHER. The group is also scheduled to make appearances at the Rock On The Range and Welcome To Rockville festivals in April and May.Interview (audio):
