Obsession (Eighteen Visions Album)
''Obsession'' is an album by Eighteen Visions. The album was their most commercially successful to date, and featured three music videos. Some editions of this album come with a DVD that features a 'making of' the album. The album has sold over 200,000 copies in the US. The album peaked at #4 on the Heatseekers chart in the US. On July 3, 2004 the album peaked at #147 on the ''Billboard'' 200. /ref> The song "Guilty Pleasures," seemingly only available on the UK Pressing of Obsession, was confirmed by singer James Hart on Twitter to actually be "The Sun Falls Down." The title is incorrect on the Japan pressings and the single for "I Let Go." The album was noted to be a starkly different sonic approach by comparison to the sound found on their earlier work, noted by AllMusic as " shadowy realm ..where the iron poles of heavy metal beat against hardcore spines, and hammer the resulting screams into melodies lanced with pain."

Vanity (album)
''Vanity'' is the fourth full-length studio album, and seventh overall release, by American metalcore band Eighteen Visions. It was their first album to feature a music video, which was for "You Broke Like Glass". It was the last album to feature guitarist Brandan Schieppati as he left immediately after the recording of the album to focus on Bleeding Through. The band toured for the album with a single guitarist, Keith Barney. As of 2007, the album has sold over 100,000 copies in the United States. Most critics and fans consider ''Vanity'' to be their final metalcore album, the band moving towards a more post-hardcore sound after this. It should however be noted that the band considered this change to have begun prior to this album, with the recording of "Motionless and White" which was featured on ''The Best of Eighteen Visions'' the year before. Hart's improved vocal style lead the band to write more melodic song structure rather than their previous technical metalcore compositio ...

The Best Of Eighteen Visions
''The Best of Eighteen Visions'' is the third full-length album by metalcore band Eighteen Visions. Despite its title, it is not a compilation of previously-released material; all of the material was newly recorded especially for this release. Its title hints to the fact that for this release, the band chose the ''best'' material from their prior out-of-print releases and re-recorded these songs to create a new album. It also includes the newly-written song "Motionless and White". Two songs were re-recorded from their debut EP ''Lifeless'': "Slipping Through the Hands of God" and "Life's Blood". Five songs were re-recorded from their first full-length album ''Yesterday Is Time Killed'': "The Psychotic Thought", "An Old Wyoming Song", "Raping, Laughing, Tasting, Temptation", "Five 'O Six A.M. Three/Fifteen" and "Dead Rose". And all three songs from their second EP '' No Time for Love'' were re-recorded: "Russian Roulette with a Trigger Happy Manic Depressive", "Isola in the Rain" ...

Until The Ink Runs Out
''Until The Ink Runs Out'' is the second full-length album released by metalcore band Eighteen Visions. It is often considered to be the bands' finest release by much of the older fans, as well as the record that gathered national attention for the band, due to the rising of Trustkill Records. The album was recorded in a four-day session at Doubletime Studios, where they had previously recorded twice (once for a demo sometime in 1999, and once for the No Time for Love session) for a budget of just over one grand. This was the band's first release to feature Keith Barney on guitar, and would ultimately be the last to feature Javier van Huss on bass. Good Life Recordings 12" vinyl came out first. The vinyl had the words "Hair Dressers of the World" on side A and "Unite!" on side B on the matrix runout. It was limited to a pressing of 1000 on black and 200 on pink. Trustkill then released the CD version which first came in digipaks, but in pressings after 2002 it was released in ...

Eighteen Visions is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California, formed in October 1995.

History Beginnings (1995–2000) Eighteen Visions was founded in October 1995 by James Hart, Dave Peters, Billy Sisler, and Kenneth Floyd under the name "Macabre".

Soon after, Excessive Force's Jeff Boullt was added to the mix as a second guitarist, and in March, Sisler left the group and was replaced by Richie Taylor. Taylor only lasted a short while, and Javier Van Huss soon took over the bass duties. Later in the year, Boullt also left the band, and Brand ...
