In the current context, in which certifications often arrive after months of remaining in the rankings, the result of Even heroes die takes on an even greater specific weight. It's not just about high numbers, but about an immediate concentration of ratings, sales and cultural attention.
The sales success is accompanied by a broad and transversal critical consensus. Far from gender standardization, Even heroes die it is read as an ambitious record, capable of dialoguing with broader cultural imaginaries without sacrificing impact.
This new result fits into an already solid trajectory. Previous albums The Globe And The Names of the Devilthe latter still in the Top 10 FIMIhave helped build a recognizable identity, culminating in long-term numbers.
