"World Management and MORBID ANGEL would like to announce that [May 16] was Morbid Monday with the new single, 'Nevermore', reaching #1 most downloads on Amazon.com for hard rock / metal category. The single as a remix also charted at #3.

"We thank all the fans for helping making this happen and hope they enjoy the first offering from the new album which we are all very proud of.
