NEILSTEIN SOUNDSCAM: IN THIS FACELESS MOMENT

In This Moment sold a shitload of records last week, shocker of all shockers. So did The Faceless, while Korpiklaani notsomuch. Those and more, after the jump:

1 IN THIS MOMENT – BLOOD
Last week: 20,385 (debut)

Century’s bottom line is clearly being gutted by their recent allegiance with Spotify. Not.

3 FACELESS – AUTOTHEISM
Last week: 7,570 (debut)

Almost the exact same number Veil of Maya’s recent release sold first week, and about 4k less than Periphery. Yeah, I’d say Sumerian’s still got the tech-metal market cornered, even if most of their Benjamins come from Asking Alexandria these days. And holyshityouguys, have you listened to this album yet? It’s incredible, srsly.

4 VAI*STEVE – STORY OF LIGHT
Last week: 5,539 (debut)

Didn’t even know Vai had a new one.

8 TESTAMENT – DARK ROOTS OF EARTH

Last week: 4,174
Cume: 31, 288

Wow, this record is, like, doing really well and stuff.

13 FOZZY – SIN & BONES
Last week: 3,400 (debut)

20 TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION – PEACEMAKER
Last week: 2,476 (debut)

49 BLACK LIGHT BURNS – MOMENT YOU REALIZE YOU’RE GOIN
Last week: 912 (debut)

65 ADRENALINE MOB – OMERTA
Last week: 698
Cume: 16,846

Not sure what’s responsible for the 142% spike; was there a sale or something? Anyway, 20k won’t be too shabby for this record when all is said and done.

76 KORPIKLAANI – MANALA
Last week: 566 (debut)

This is exactly the number of people I would expect to be interested in purchasing a Korpiklaani record first week.

98 LOUDNESS – EVE TO DAWN
Last week: 379 (debut)

And this is exactly the number of people I would expect to be interested in purchasing a Loudness record first week. Has anyone out there listened to this yet? Is it good?
