After signing with Island/Def Jam, CKY released Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild in 2002.[1] The album gave the band its first entries on a number of record charts, reaching number 99 on the US Billboard 200,[2] number 108 on the UK Albums Chart,[3] and number 10 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[4] The one single from the album, "Flesh Into Gear", reached number 38 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.[5] Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild: The Video Album, featuring music videos for all ten songs on the album, was released in 2003 and charted at number 34 on the Billboard Music Video Sales chart.[6] An Answer Can Be Found, released in 2005, peaked at number 35 on the Billboard 200 and number 102 on the UK Albums Chart.[2][3] Single "Familiar Realm" reached number 32 on the Mainstream Rock chart.[5]
Matt Deis joined as CKY's first full-time bassist in 2005, replacing touring bassist Vernon Zaborowski who had joined in 2000, and in early 2006 the band signed with Roadrunner Records.[1] The group's first release on the label, 2009's Carver City, reached number 46 on the Billboard 200.[2] The album also reached number 4 on the Hard Rock Albums chart and number 14 on the Top Rock Albums chart,[7][8] as well as number 119 in the UK and number 7 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[3][4] In March 2011, the group released its first career-retrospective album B-Sides & Rarities, followed by B-Sides & Rarities Volume II later in the year.[9] After continued tensions between band members, Miller left CKY in 2011; he was replaced by Daniel Davies for a number of shows in 2012 and later in 2015.[10][11]
CKY returned in 2016 to record a fifth studio album, with Ginsburg taking over the vacated role of lead vocals following Davies' departure.[12] The band subsequently signed an international record deal with Entertainment One Music and released The Phoenix in June 2017.[13] The album debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart,[14] number 98 on the Top Current Albums chart,[15] number 9 on the Hard Rock Album Sales chart,[16] and number 37 on the Rock Album Sales chart.[17] The limited edition EP Too Precious to Kill was released on November 23, 2018 to support Record Store Day, featuring four new tracks.[18]
