Orange County quartet Eighteen Visions continue their mission to bring metalcore to the masses with this tasty offering from their Obsession album, complete with two hitherto unreleased B-sides.
I Let Go is Obsession in microcosm - massive, punchy, metallic riffs piledriving the verses before a surprisingly poppy chorus enters the fray. It works but only if you like to come up for air to sing between your bouts of moshing.
The Sun Falls Down and The World Is Mine continue the theme, with the former's grungey guitars sounding curiously like The Almighty's Addiction (made in 1992, kids) and boasting a particularly effective, stomping rhythm. More power to 'em.
