New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Razor & Tie) Razor & Tie's latest developing act For Today's new studio album Immortal crashes into the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart this week debuting at #15 and #3 on the Independent Chart with over 14,700 albums sold in its first week out. Immortal also lands on a number of other Billboard charts including: #1 on the Hard
Music Chart, #1 on the Christian Current/Contemporary Chart, #1 on the Top Christian/Gospel Chart and #7 on the Rock
Music Chart.
The impressive debut of Immortal nearly doubles first week sales of For Today's previous 2010 album, Breaker (Facedown) which sold 7,400 in its first week.
John Franck, Razor & Tie Senior Vice President of Marketing comments, "This is an exciting sales debut for Razor & Tie.
For Today is a band that our entire label feels deeply passionate about. They embody all the things we look for in a young, developing rock act—great songs, a tireless work ethic, and a deep, meaningful connection to their fan base which is very very real. This band is an important cornerstone in our continuing mission to build out our Rock presence. We congratulate them on their impressive sales week and look forward to working together in the months ahead."
Immortal, produced by Will Putney (Lamb Of God, Suicide Silence) features 11 new tracks and includes special guest appearances from
Sonny Sandoval of P.O.D., Jake Luhrs of
August Burns Red and Tommy Green of Sleeping Giant. The album was released to major critical acclaim with Outburn Magazine calling it "A formidable return" and
Revolver Magazine declaring it to be "Rife with crafty guitar hooks and scream-along choruses." Alternative Press also commented, "For Today have dialed back the bombast just enough to make their pounding combination of furious punk and vicious metal sound more immediate and live sounding."
