HEATHENKREATOR's new album,
"Hordes Of Chaos", sold around 2,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 165 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at No. 7 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.
The CD was released in three different versions. The jewel case edition includes the ten regular album songs, and the deluxe version features an additional bonus DVD with an atmospheric making-of in super-8 quality courtesy of a Berlin filmmaker. As a third option, the ultra-deluxe version comes with a t-shirt, a worthwhile photo book and an extended version of the bonus DVD, as well as the CD.
The
"Hordes Of Chaos" artwork was created once again by
Joachim Luetke.
Luetke designed the artwork for
KREATOR's last album,
"Enemy Of God", as well as past releases from bands like
DIMMU BORGIR,
ARCH ENEMY and
RAGE.
