WORLD UNDER BLOOD: 'Tactical' First-Week Sales Revealed

August 3, 2011

"Tactical", the debut album from WORLD UNDER BLOOD the melodic death metal side project featuring CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller alongside Tim Yeung (MORBID ANGEL, DIVINE HERESY, VITAL REMAINS, HATE ETERNAL) on drums, Risha Eryavec (DECREPIT BIRTH) on bass, and Luke Jaeger on guitar sold around 900 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 32 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 artwork for "Tactical" was brought to life by the twisted mind of Pr Olofsson (IMMORTAL, THE FACELESS, ABYSMAL DAWN) and can be seen below.

"Tactical" track listing:

01. A God Among The Waste
02. Into The Arms Of Cruelty
03. Pyro-Compulsive
04. Dead And Still In Pain
05. Purgatory Dormitory
06. Under The Autumn Low
07. I Can't Stand His Name
08. Revere's Tears (with intro)
09. Wake Up Dead (MEGADETH cover song)
10. Alliance Or War (iTunes-exclusive MALEVOLENT CREATION cover song)

In an early 2010 online posting, Miller stated about the WORLD UNDER BLOOD debut, "The goal for the eight original tunes that ended up on this album was that they would all be super-fast, extremely brutal and harsh, catchy, melodic, and occasionally offensive and disturbing. I also had to make sure that the entire band was satisfied with their work.

"Tim Yeung is easily the most impressive drummer in the world. He thinks that some kid is going to come along and dethrone him speed-wise, but as far as writing, arrangements, creative input and immediate knowledge of song structure, he will never be beat. It's like the guy can read my mind. I present a somewhat intricate song to him and 50 minutes later we're demoed and done."

Guitarist-turned-producer James Murphy, who worked on "Tactical", previously stated about the project, "WORLD UNDER BLOOD bridge a gap between genres that has never been bridged.... a few have tried with mixed results, but this is the first real resounding success of fusing brutal, blasting death metal with a melodic American rock vibe and it opens a door that will turn into a floodgate... I'm very happy to have been picked by Deron to mix this project ... he really pulls it together on this one musically and Tim's performance is stellar as well."

WORLD UNDER BLOOD is:

* Deron Miller (CKY) - Guitar/Vocals
* Tim Yeung (DIVINE HERESY, VITAL REMAINS, HATE ETERNAL) - Drums
* Risha Eryavec (DECREPIT BIRTH) - Bass
* Luke Jaeger - Guitar
