MORBID ANGEL'S – “HERETIC” LANDS ON BILLBOARD CHARTS!

MORBID ANGEL's brand-new album, “Heretic”, shifted 3,884 copies during its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan, landing at No. 28 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums Chart. On Billboard's Heatseeker Chart, a chart that tracks the sales of up and coming artists who have never yet appeared in the top 100 of The Billboard Top 200 Chart, MORBID ANGEL debuted at No. 27, ahead of albums by such major label artists as THE RAVEONETTES and THE DANDY WARHOLS. “Heretic” was recorded and mixed at D.O.W. (Diet Of Worms) studios in Seffner, Florida and was co-produced by the band and longtime front-of-house mixing engineer Juan “Punchy Gonzalez. The album — the group's ninth overall release (including their 1986 “Abominations Of Desolation” demo and the 1996 live album, “Entangled In Chaos”) — marks a return to the fold of bassist/vocalist Steve Tucker, who originally left the band in early April 2001 due to “personal and family problems.”
