SUFFOCATION comments on breaking through Billboard charts

Selling over 3,600 copies of their gargantuan album, Blood Oath, since its July 14, 2009 (USA) release, New York based extreme metal legends SUFFOCATION have landed at #135 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, #22 on the Hard Rock Chart and at #2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) Chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

SUFFOCATION’s Mike Smith shares his thoughts on this accomplishment:
“When a label and band truly have the visions for success in mind, the only thing stopping us is ourselves. We can finally breathe, now that a real partnership is in place.”

Frank Mullen adds:
“I told you so, our fans are the sickest!”

Joann Gullo of EXTREME MANAGEMENT GROUP adds:
“We are all very grateful to have developed this relationship with Nuclear Blast. This is proof that the right partnership is in place and greatness will prevail.”
