HIGH ON FIRE lands at #62 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart this week with it's brand new album, Snakes For The Divine. The record shifted over 8,600 units in just its first week of release.

Snakes For The Divine, the band’s debut release for E1 Music, and fifth full length album overall, is the highest charting record in the band's decade-plus sales history. The sales more than double the first week tally registered by the group's last CD (2007’s Death Is This Communion).

The album also debuted at #6 on Canada’s Nielsen SoundScan Hard Music Albums Chart, #6 on its Independent Albums Chart and at #65 on the Canadian Hard Music Top 200 Chart.
