Trivium And Amon Amarth Land On Billboard 200

Who ever said metal would never be big was a complete fool. Both Trivium and Amon Amarth have landed in the top 50 of the Billboard 200. Look at it this way. These metal bands are all in the top 100. There may be more.

• Metallica – Death Magnetic
• Slipknot – All Hope Is Gone
• All That Remains – Overcome
• Disturbed – Indestructible
• Underoath – Lost In Separation
• All Shall Perish – Awaken The Dreamers

So metal is pretty much kickin ass on the billboard charts as far as album sales go. Both Twilight Of The Thunder God and Shogun are great albums, so it wasn’t much of a surprise that these guys landed where they are. Trivium has sold just under 24,000 copies of shogun and Amon Amarth have sold more than 11,000 copies of Twilight’.
