XV, the new album from Kings X, has debuted at #145 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart and #12 on Billboard's Indie Chart. This marks the first time in over a decade that the band has cracked the Top 200 in the first week of release.
XV is the band's fifteenth record and it's produced by Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica). "It is a very different record for us," notes guitarst Ty Tabor. "It touches on a lot of different things from our past, but doesn't sound the same. It seems to me that these are more complete songs. Some are short and sweet, some are more adventurous and unpredictable in some ways."
