Memphis May Fire's Challenger Cracks The Billboard Top 20, Landing At No 16 In Its Debut Week

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Earshot Media) Dallas, TX's Memphis May Fire's latest Rise Records LP, Challenger, made an impressive debut last week, landing in the Top 20 at #16. The band's follow-up to 2011's The Hollow also reached #3 on the Top Hard Music chart and #3 on the Indie chart.

Memphis May Fire is currently canvassing the country as part of the 2012 Vans Warped Tour where they continue to build on their rabid and rapidly growing fan base.

Challenger features guest appearances by Sleeping with Sirens' Kellin Quinn and Asking Alexandria's Danny Worsnop. As front man Matty Mullins explains, "Challenger is a crystal clear representation of our growth as a band. It's heavier than anything we've done before & packed full of the most honest & transparent lyrics I've ever written.
