BURY YOUR DEAD CHARTING and NEW MUSIC VIDEO AND FAMILY VALUES TOUR ALL SUMMER LONG
Fresh off of a stint on the Strhess Tour, alongside Shadows Fall, Poison the Well and more, BURY YOUR DEAD's July 11th release, "Beauty and the Breakdown" (Victory) charted #129 on the Billboard 200, selling 7,039 copies in its first week. This record is the brutal follow up to the very successful Victory Records release, "Cover Your Tracks" which has sold 90,000 copies to date.
Regarding the release and charting of the album, guitarist Slim states, "If you had asked me when I started this band 5 years ago if anything we have accomplished by now would have happened I would have said Fuck off you're out of your mind. This is just another one of those things. I just like to think, what would M otley Crue do ?"
On top of the new record being released, the band are busy regarding their first music video from the new album, for the track "House of Straw". Slim comments, "We shot a video this past Sunday (July 23) in DC with Joseph Pattersal (Darkest Hour) for the first single on our new record, "House of Straw." Things are looking awesome and will be getting wrapped within the next few days. It's along the same lines as our layout and looks cool as hell. We feel this video is the equivalent of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" but with way less fog. Holla"
To date, Bury Your Dead's "Beauty and the Breakdown" has sold a respectable 10,745 copies in the 2 weeks since its release.
Drummer Mark Castillo compliments with, "Thank you to everyone who went out and actually bought the new record. We appreciate it and without all of your support we wouldn't be 129th best seller in the country an on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. Thank you. "
The band will be kicking off the FAMILY VALUES TOUR SATURDAY 7/29, in Tennessee and aboard til the tour's conclusion on 9/22 in Virginia Beach.. Fun for all on Family Values Tour; lawn tickets are only $9.99 for the whole tour!
