\nAxioma Ethica Odini<\/em>, the new album by Norway\u2019s renowned progressive\/psychedelic black metal band ENSLAVED, has sold over 1,400 copies in the U.S. since its release on September 28th and has debuted at #16 on the Billboard Heatseekers (New Artists) chart, #40 in the Current Hard Music Albums chart, and #72 on the Independent Current Albums chart.
\n
\nENSLAVED guitarist\/songwriter Ivar Bj\u00f8rnson has checked in from the road in Europe with their reaction to the news:
\n
\n\u201cWe received news last week of the great first week sales in the U.S. with accompanying chart positions. Most important is the fact that we out-did our own previous achievements [with 2008\u2019s Vertebrae] in the U.S. market. We\u2019re not competing with anything else than our own ambitions. We want to express our sincere appreciation to the wonderful people at Nuclear Blast U.S. for their relentless efforts in promoting ENSLAVED, as this is also their achievement!\u201d
\n
\nAxioma Ethica Odini is the follow-up to 2008\u2019s Vertebrae, which sold over 1,100 copies its first week of release in North America according to Nielsen SoundScan and debuted on the American Billboard Hard Music chart at #11 and on the Billboard Heatseekers chart at #49. Vertebrae also won Terrorizer Magazine\u2019s coveted \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d award for 2008. In their native Norway, Vertebrae entered the official charts at #20 and earned ENSLAVED their third consecutive Spellemann award (the Norwegian equivalent of a Grammy).
