User Album Review
Not only does XVIII stand up well against former masterpiece Obsession, it goes one step further in sounding fresh and relevant to 2017. Where Obsession is an album that has its merits, it was of its age. 18V haven’t reformed and reverted to normal, this is fresh and invigorated with even more balls and grit than before. That’s not to say you won’t recognise it as 18V, they retain their distinctive vocal and traits for a big sing-along offset with big crunching guitars.
While XVIII is a formidable and excellent album, it’s not going to save metalcore. It’s a very bright light in amongst a dearth of genuine talent. It takes metalcore back to its roots and shows today’s acts how it should be done. You won’t hear a more likeable or immediate album of it’s like this year.
