Ehhh maybe. I don't know. I am sure it did better than B2BX though.

The following are notable heavy metal/hard rock U.S. sales debuts for the week ending July 22, 2007, as reported by Nielsen SoundScan (all CD figures are rounded to the nearest hundred; The Billboard 200 chart position included, where applicable):

(HED)P.E. - "Insomnia": 5,400 (#138)
BEHEMOTH - "The Apostasy": 5,000 (#149)
NILE - "Ithyphallic": 4,600 (#162)
MALEVOLENT CREATION - "Doomsday X": 500
MONDO GENERATOR - "Dead Planet": 300
AKERCOCKE - "Antichrist": 300
SAMAEL - "Solar Soul": 200


- Blabbermouth.net

THEY MADE THE BILLBOARD! haha

they sold more than nile. thats quite impressive.

5400 units

like i said - it tanked

oia sold 20k its first week - which was horrible according to most industry standards - enough for even koch to say later

really 20 k???..well we will see how insomnia will do over longterm...

Yeah 5400 is not really that good but sales will probably pick up.

I heard it was around 10K?

no it was 30k total to date and nearly 20k the first week and a half - remember they did that presell thing so it was over 10k - it was just to fudge numbers - ill ask kim g about it to be sure but i remember that presale thing artificially jacked numbers up

peace

yeah i didnt expect much but i was hoping they would get a big underground following. hopefully more people hear about it and grab the cd

Only 30,000 to this date? Whoa I thought I was way more than that.

nope for sure on the aggregate total

Wow. Man this is disappointing. I thought maybe around 75,000+

ha 75k in their wildest dreams

i did ask kim g about it and she confirmed it was 30k to date and she further said you were right on the first week album sales being 10k - she also added the numbers were inflated the first week due to that presale thing at the shows - when they were selling the cds at the shows before the actual release date - so i got that right - but it wasnt 20k

peace

Hey man i knew Kim G was/is a very close friend to (Hed).
But i mean she ran the old website and seems to had loads
of things to do with (Hed) in the OIA period.
Was she employeed, or got paid for her work???

she managed hedrocks.com and worked very close with the band - specifically jahred and moke - she even worked with the old label koch - heds management at the time and the merchandising company and the booking agent and even venues - the chick did it all

the coolest thing about kim g - and i never knew this until recently - is she did all that shit for free - for over two years

she said after a while it got to be too much and she had to quit - consumed too much of her time and i guess there was some unnecessary drama - if there is one thing i know about kim g is she doesnt do drama

i dont think she keeps in touch with jahred anymore but i know she is very tight with moke to this day

oh yeah and i know she is tight with chad too

later

So is she still a fan of (Hed)?
Or did she just unhook after OIA?
I can understand why if she did.

Its a shame 'cause she made/managed
the best hed site to date.

If i was a manager at subnoize i would
contact Kim G and pay her to design Hed's site
or even re-launch hedrocks.com.

yeah she is still down with the music - i dont wanna speak on her behalf but i think she will even tell you the band isnt what it was when chad and wes were in the band - she is a broke era fan like me and many of us

i agree she was and is the shit - what she did with that website the fans and all the industry shit was amazing - im her biggest fan and would love to fuck her brains out - lol -

kim g has zero interst in doing heds website or any website for that matter - she quit cuz she didnt have the time - she has some big time exec job for a large internet company

Her site was the absolute best - always up to date and heaps of info. It was the best site they've ever had.

Yeah it's a shame that it doesn't exist anymore.

I wonder how different it would have been if hedrocks was still functioning today?

im sure the same but even more content since there was two releases since then

how time flies lol

i really want to bury my dick and face - not at the same time mind you - in the tits of kim g - yummy

Wow. She must be some woman.

Have you ever dated Kim G?

ha i fuckin wish - i met and saw her at a couple gigs in tampa

lets just say she has some big titties - that grouped with her big green eyes make me melt

peace
