In today's review, we explore the Christian Nu Metal/Alternative band XIII Minutes as they breathe new life into an old favorite. Their song 'Who Told You' is a powerhouse anthem within the genre, combining soothing sensations with chunky metal riffs, and this new reimagined version is available now.
Released on August 15, 2025, and originally featured on their 2019 album Obsessed, XIII Minutes offers a modern twist to this classic track. While the original version has a rawer sound, this updated rendition incorporates synth, effects, and a new vocalist, resulting in a more polished and fuller experience. True to Nu Metal style, 'Who Told You' boasts dynamic elements reminiscent of bands like Sevendust and Tetrarch.

XIII Minutes presents the gospel in a way that feels energizing, almost as if it could get Jesus in the mosh pit. Turn up your speakers and let the frequencies send chills down your spine.
