Does Deliverance sell good?

[Risedfromthedead]

How good does Deliverance sell across the world compared to the earlier albums?

Intresting.

 

[Alcapoth]

From what I have heard, it is their most successful album yet...the first album from them that debuted in the charts (at least in Europe I think)

 

[Speedkill]

It was on Billboards' Heatseekers and Indie rock charts, I think.

Where can you read soundscan totals for records? Is that something available to the public? Because I'm curious to see how a lot of bands that I like have sold...

I've looked for that too. I don't think that that info is publically available (at least I haven't found it yet...)

I came across this once at the Kreator message board. No Opeth mentioned though.

Ah, that's really interesting. Thanks, Third Eye.

I wonder if there is a way to find info on, well, better bands...

I interviewed Karl Sanders from Nile last week...he said "Black Seeds of Vengence" sold 55,000, and "In Their Darkened Shrines" will probably do twice that (!!!). Pretty impressive for such a brutal band, especially when compared to the figures of the previous post!

EDIT: Hmm, I just realized that those figures in the previous post aren't worldwide...so I'm sure they're more impressive when worldwide sales are factored in.
