“ It’s been so long now since the glory days of the Bay Area, that hearing that classic sound reinvented like this sounds almost as vibrant and exciting as it must have done the first time around.”

— Kit Rathenar, Destructive Music

“With XIII’s album “North Of Nowhere” now at a close, I can say that this is an amazing piece of music, from beginning to end, the vocals and lyrics are impeccable, the guitars and drums, meticulous, every detail on this album has been looked at, time and time again, this is not a debut album that has been smashed together in a couple of days, it’s been made to stand toe to toe with some of the bigger band that have formed to usher in a new wave of modern day thrash metal, and it will stand tall. I feel like I’m heralding yet another coming of our so called saviour when I type this, but I don’t care, the guys have worked hard to achieve what they have in this album, and every track proves it time and time again. The guys of XIII are going places, and the future looks very bright for them all…”

— Antony Illingworth, Denim & Leather Metal Magazine

“XIII have created a strange but adventurous album in the form of North of Nowhere. Where as I expected to find a purely thrash-only record, I was greeted by different sounds that did much to entice the ears; from Beasty Boys-like vocal work to violent and destructive riffs and drum work. For the most part, the album was more enjoyable than any regular thrash album and I can see a bright future in the world of metal for XIII. ”

— Nico Davidson, Valkyrian Music

“XIII claimed the stage for the night to a lively and enthusiastic crowd. This band clearly enjoys being onstage and was as much in its element as an arch-demon in the underworld. As for the music itself, the crowd was treated to a highly enjoyable brand of thrash, with solos as technical as an essay by Albert Einstein and aggression matched only by a pitbull with rabies, all set to Dan’s authoritative vocal style. The bass riff in the pre-solo of Devastated By Reality was a particular highlight for me. XIII’s ferocious onslaught was unlucky to be cut short, when they were told by The Lamp staff the gig was to end at 10.30pm and not at 11pm as previously thought. Those that remained raucously demanded more, with a hunger that would only be satisfied by another dose of skilfully executed thrash – and this is exactly what they received when, with moments remaining on the clock, XIII burst into a thrilling ten-second solo, ending the night on a powerful high.”

— Lauren Brooks, Denim & Leather

“Some Fantastic feedback From Metieval: Best bands of the fest: 1. Skyclad 2. Asomvel 3. Northern Oak 4. XIII - Chris Davison Fantastic Set & With James Filling In For Dave From Pastel Jack & Peter Filling In For Mark On Saturday, Both Bands Have My Utmost Respect - Andy Silver Back XIII was easily my favourite band of the night - Jonny Carrick”

— Various, Various Comments From Metieval Requiem

“Onslaught Radio loves XIII!!!! Hit them up!!!”

— Onslaught Radio, Onslaught Radio

“HAVING BEING ON THE HULL METAL SCENE FOR 3 YEARS NOW, XIII ARE ONE OF THE AREA’S MOST PROMISING BANDS. ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN THESE GUYS LIVE WILL KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THEM THAT YOU DON’T FIND OFTEN IN LOCAL UNSIGNED BANDS, A KIND OF PRECISION TO THEIR MUSIC, WHICH EVEN THE TOP BANDS SOMETIMES FIND HARD TO FIND. THIS IS THE BANDS SECOND E.P, A FIVE TRACK COLLECTION OF THRASH METAL MONSTERS AND WITH EACH TRACK CLOCKING IN AROUND THE 6 MINUTE MARK, THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT FOR ONE LOOKING FOR RADIO FRIENDLY SONGS.

— Rocked N Loaded Webzine

“XIII (THIRTEEN) ARE A PURE THRASH METAL BAND FROM HULL, HAVING SEEN THESE GUYS EARLIER IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THEY PLAYED A FANTASTIC SET I WAS LOOKING VERY MUCH TO SEEING THESE GUYS AGAIN, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LAST TIME, THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN SIGNED TO INDEPENDENT RECORD LABEL, DEATH CERTIFICATE RECORDS AND HAVE JUST RECENTLY RELEASED A 6 TRACK E.P UNLUCKY FOR SOME. TODAY THE BAND WERE HEADLINING THE RAGNAROK METAL FESTIVAL, A FULL BANK HOLIDAY OF METAL WITH OTHER BANDS INCLUDING: BATALLIONS, HEAT-RAY & PASTEL JACK AMONGST OTHERS. READ MORE (FOLLOW LINK)”
