Cold Chisel’s latest studio album, the critically acclaimed Blood Moon, has debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album Chart confirming the iconic band has lost none of its rock ‘n roll swagger over the years.
Blood Moon, the ninth studio album from Cold Chisel, lands loudly and proudly at #1 this week. It is their third #1 album in the ARIA Charts, after Twentieth Century (1984) and The Last Wave of Summer (1998). Cold Chisel had two more #1 albums before the ARIA Charts began – Circus Animals (1982) and Swingshift (1981).
It has been 21 years since Cold Chisel topped the chart, and in that time they hit #2 with The Best Of Cold Chisel: All For You (2011), No Plans (2012) and The Perfect Crime (2015). Cold Chisel has broken their #2 streak, and now takes the record for most time between their first #1 and their latest – 38 years from 1981 until 2019.
In typical Cold Chisel style, Blood Moon is a potpourri of ideas, sounds and genres from the chooglin’ boogie of the first single Getting The Band Back Together, to the angry, viscerally epic Killing Time, the high-speed oblivion of Drive, the crazed-carnival sounds of Boundary Street to Ian Moss‘ soulful closer You Are So Beautiful.
“We are really excited by Blood Moon hitting # 1 on the ARIA chart – an incredible 21 years after our last one,” says frontman Jimmy Barnes. “We never take anything for granted, so huge thanks to our loyal army of fans who have helped make this happen. We love Blood Moon – it’s our best collection of songs since the ‘80s.”
Watch ‘Killing Time’
Over 175,000 tickets to the outdoor Blood Moon Tour 2020 have been sold in Australia and New Zealand with A Day on the Green shows at Sirromet Wines in Queensland (1st show), Victoria’s Mt. Duneed Estate and Rochford Wines, Heifer Station in Orange, NSW and NZ’s Wharepai Domain show all SOLD OUT.
Tickets to all remaining shows on the tour are selling EXTREMELY fast so fans wanting to catch the iconic band on what’s likely to be their final major tour should act fast before they’re all gone.
Fans are reminded to only buy tickets by following the ticket links listed below. People who choose to ignore this clear advice and who instead use search engines like Google to find tickets typically get steered to unofficial reselling sites like Viagogo that often lead to rip offs.
Blood Moon is out now on the band’s own label via Universal Music.
