The Hunters and Collectors tribute album Crucible has debuted at #3 on the ARIA album chart! This instantly places Crucible at the second highest position ever reached by Hunters and Collectors in the Australian charts – narrowly behind the Demon Flower album which spent one week at #2 on debut nearly 20 years ago.

True Believers applauds the hard work of all who have been a part in Crucible, from Michael Gudinski and John O’Donnell through to Loud and Clear Management and the band. The solid belief in and support of the project was well demonstrated by the second to none print, television and social media promotion.

To those who picked up the album last week, well done. To those yet to grab a copy of Crucible, there is much to look forward too! 🙂
