TYPE O NEGATIVE's latest album, "Dead Again", has sold just over 22,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 27 on The Billboard 200 chart, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD is the follow-up to 2003's "Life Is Killing Me", which debuted on The Billboard 200 chart at No. 39 in June 2003 after registering a first-week sales tally of 27,000 copies. TYPE O NEGATIVE's best-selling album to date is 1994's "Bloody Kisses", which has shifted around a million copies in the U.S.
TYPE O NEGATIVE, whose first LP, "Slow, Deep and Hard", was issued in 1991, fulfilled their contractual obligations to longtime label Roadrunner with the release of "Life Is Killing Me" and has since signed with SPV Records.
