History
Eighteen Visions (sometimes shortened to 18V) was founded in 1996 by James Hart and Ken Floyd (who then played drums), the only members of the original line-up still performing with the band.
Their debut release was the "Lifeless" EP on Life Sentence Records. They followed this with a full-length album titled "Yesterday Is Time Killed" on Cedargate Records. Upon switching to Trustkill Records, they recorded their 2000 album "Until The Ink Runs Out". For their next album, "Best Of", the band re-recorded much of their earlier, out of print, material. The music style of the band changed a lot since their 2002 debut "Vanity", which birthed a music video single for "You Broke Like Glass" which played in heavy rotation via MTV2's Headbangers Ball. Eighteen Visions then released "Obsession" in 2004 which would be their last album for Trustkill Records. They are now working on their "self-titled" album, the first official record for Epic Records.
The band recorded various covers including: Guns N' Roses's "Paradise City", The Smashing Pumpkins' "Quiet", and Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" for the Punk Goes '90s compilation.
The "self-titled" record will see a release on July 18. The first single "Tonightless" is currently available on iTunes while another song "Victim" has been released on the Trustkill Records site. A third song "Black And Bruised" is available on a Trustkill sampler. "Victim" is the official theme song of WWE Vengeance this year.
