VOIVOD: 'Infini' First-Week Sales Revealed - July 1, 2009
"Infini", the new album from Canadian metal innovators VOIVOD, sold around 840 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (Note: Internet/digital sales **ARE** included in the SoundScan totals.) The CD landed at position No. 67 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.VOIVOD's final album featuring the group's late guitarist, Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, "Infini" was released in the U.S. on June 23 via Relapse Records. The CD, which was issued in Europe via Nuclear Blast, contains the last thirteen songs written by Piggy and again features bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted (ex-METALLICA). Jason played bass on all the songs and mixed the album, which was released as a deluxe, digipack CD and was also issued on vinyl as a double LP. "Infini" was built from the final songs created by the band with D'Amour. All his original demo guitar tracks appear as they were recorded — with no re-amping and no overdubs; just Piggy as he played the tracks he envisioned in his small bachelor apartment, the amp in the bathroom, capturing his performance with the laptop given to him by Jason. -------------------- trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr

shit - thats not very many....you'd have thought just with newstead's name attached - at least some metallica fans would buy it. Especially as its infini-tely better than metallica's albums. It deserves a much bigger audience - like van der graaf generator too - I guess good quality music will only appeal to a tiny minority - as the vast majority of people are thick as fuck - and will buy any shit - thats why the worst songs you've ever heard frequently reach no. 1  ( -------------------- Steven Hargraves

I love it! Morpheus so far is my favorite and there's not one weak song on the disc in my humble opinion. I now must see Voivod again. Seriously, please come to the States (New Mexico in particular).........with Blacky!
