Of Mice & Men album 'Cold World' debuts in Top 25

Cold World, the newly released album from Southern California alternative metal band Of Mice & Men, has landed at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 chart on the strength of 19,000 in first-week sales in the United States. Meanwhile, the record debuted at No. 3 and No. 1 on the Independent Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts, respectively. The showing represents a notable decline when compared to their previous album, 2014's Restoring Force. That record sold roughly 51,000 copies in its first week and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Going back further, Of Mice & Men's The Flood (2011) album bowed at No. 28 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 15,000.
