Thousand Foot Krutch's "Oxygen: Inhale" is Their Highest Charting Album in Their Career

Thousand Foot Krutch's latest release "Oxygen: Inhale" was met with great success when it was released last week. The fan funded album gave TFK their highest ever positon on the Billboard Top 200 chart when it debut at #7. Simultaneously, it lodges in at #2 on the Top Current Rock Albums chart (just behind the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack at No. 1), No. 6 on the Top Internet and No. 1 on the Top Christian/Gospel Albums charts. The recording also spent most of last week at No. 1 on the iTunes® Rock chart and hit No. 5 on the iTunes overall Albums chart.
Driving the successful debut in part is the recording's lead single, "Born This Way," which hits No. 34 at Active Rock this week and becomes a Christian Top 5 Rock hit. NASCAR and Southeastern Conference (SEC) colleges also crank up the song's volume on ESPN through mid-December as the single continues to roar up the radio charts. The song further picks up well-over a quarter-of-a-million views and 4,000+ likes on YouTube pushing TFK's YouTube channel views to over 1,100,000 last month alone, a record for the band.
Lead singer Trevor McNevan has this to say about the new record: "We wanted to make a raw rock record. We decided to strip away all the background sounds and popular over-production, so that what you hear are just the instruments and the voice."
Although there are the adrenaline fueled rock songs TFK has become known for, OXYGEN:INHALE also dares to lower the volume on a few songs and allow the melodies and words to soar.
"To me, the words are as important as the melody," McNevan says. "The song has to say something important, to connect with the audience on a deeper level. I had this image of prostitutes, addicts, business men/women, people from all walks of life, holding up a sign that reads 'Breathe Through Me.' Love includes everyone. We were called to love one another, help and support one another, and to walk through life together."
