Tenacious D career overview
The band started their career in 1994 with performances in bars, which they continued till the release of their first studio album in 2001. Titled eponymously, Tenacious D the album was produced by Dust Brothers and released on September 25, 2001 via Epic Records.
The album was received positively by critics and fans alike, securing the 33rd position on the Billboard 200 album chart as well as multiple platinum certifications eventually.
The success of the first album spurred the band to realise their ambitions for their own film, and in 2006, the animated film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny was released alongside its own soundtrack album. The film was a box office bomb but the album, The Pick of Destiny, was successful with a chart position within the top ten on Billboard 200 and a platinum certification eventually.
The band released their third studio album, Rize of the Fenix, on May 15, 2012 through Columbia Records. The album peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and UK album charts but only secured a silver certifcation in the UK.
The band released their last studio album so far, Post-Apocalypto, on November 2, 2018. The album was not particularly successful, failing to secure spots higher than 19 on the Austrian album chart and number 21 on the Swiss chart.
