Highly influential Swedish metal band IN FLAMES’ new release, A Sense of Purpose debuted at #28 on Billboard's Top 200 chart last week. A Sense of Purpose, the quintet's debut release for KOCH Records, and ninth full length album overall, is the highest charting record in the band’s sales history.

A Sense of Purpose also debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Independent Album chart and #2 on Billboard’s Hard Music chart.  The Billboard chart positions continue what has been a very exciting week for IN FLAMES; one that also saw the band smash both the Swedish and Nordic MySpace records for the number of plays of an entire album within a one-week period.  IN FLAMES’ A Sense of Purpose was streamed over 1 million times as part of its MySpace “album premiere” for the week ending April 2, 2008.

On the topic of A Sense of Purpose’s first week sales and chart placements, IN FLAMES—as a collective—comments, “It feels extremely good that Swedish metal can receive this kind of attention in the U.S.  We are really looking forward to traveling to the States and to performing the new songs live on the ‘Gigantour’. See you all there!”
