Impressive, but I live in the U.S. where there's not a chance in hell of them even making it on the charts but whatever...

Hey they made it in to the top 25 on the US Independent chart, thats gotta mean something.

Then again, since when was metal about making it on the charts, particularly in the US where music is dominated by the "Flavor of the Week" pop crap that pollutes the radios and mainstream? Quite honestly a band going for chart stats (especially here in the states) is gonna have to compromise their creativity and their individuality (look at Metallica) which is not anything I want to see happen.

They also got onto the Heatseekers chart, so for a European metal band, they really are doing good here in the States.

Not only in the States, dude... Here in Brazil is the same shit. Or do you think Angra is a constant presence in our sales charts?
