Nirvana's Nevermind has passed AC/DC's Back In Black to become the sixth best-selling album of all time, by one thousand copies: 66,832,000 equivalent album sales to 66,831,000, per Chartmasters. AC/DC still lead on physical copies, 37 million to 30 million. Scott Penfold on how the count works, why the streaming number is the honest one, and the fact that should bother everyone: nothing released since 1991 is in the all-time top ten.
Sleep Token have broken a year of silence with a rare statement saying they have "no affiliation with any outside musical project that invokes this name" and that such claims "are not made with our blessing." The band never names a target; fans are pointing at Arcus, a mystery project teased last month as being "from the co-creator of Sleep Token."
Dave Lombardo joins Scott Penfold six days after The Pulse Of Atoms, his first album with dark-ambient pioneer Lustmord, and one day after Reign In Blood turned forty. He explains why he 'wasn't ready' to make the Lustmord record twenty years ago, why he turned down William Shatner's metal album before calling back to say yes, and what happened in the backstage cubicle at Download 2004 when Metallica needed a drummer with hours to spare.
