Eighteen Visions have been promising to deliver an album that glistens as well as it growls, rocks as hard as it punches and sounds as good as the band looks. Vanity is that album, distilling the Orange County mob's convoluted, technical Metalcore of yore into blisteringly powerful yet melodiously catchy and instantly memorable songs. If Eighteen Vision was a lumbering behemoth before, then this album sees them stepping up from behind the underground pack, transformed into a thing of stark beauty, taking their rightful place amongst the rock n' roll elite's biggest and brightest. The title itself is a playful jab at the band's critics, with a variety of deeper layers behind it that become apparent as the album unfolds. Eighteen Visions - formed in 1995 - have spread their wings with resolute bravery and determined skill, leaving behind childhood things and blossoming into musical adulthood. Vanity still pummels and shreds enough to get a Hatebreed audience dancing, but it swings and grooves simultaneously, like the death n' roll of The Haunted or Entombed, and tastes as somberly bittersweet as the Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains or even the Doors. Unafraid of experimentation, the men of the band- Ken Floyd, Keith Barney (who both double in Throwdown), Mick Morris, ‘Bleeding Through’ frontman Brandon Schiepppati and charismatic, versatile vocalist James Hart- blend a variety of styles seamlessly, incorporating rich acoustics, drum n' bass and vocal styles that alternate from screamed to sung and back again in ways that 99% of the hardcore bands going could never dream of reproducing. The band's previous Trustkill releases- an EP, 1999's ‘Until the Ink Runs Out’ and last year's ‘Best Of’ collection- merely hinted at the power and promise that Eighteen Visions held. Vanity delivers. This album will turn heads - invigorating old fans, inviting new ones aboard, changing indifference to enthusiasm and playfully, smugly kissing the unbelievers on the cheek. Be sure that you will see Vanity topping every 2002 year end playlist. Get into it. |

Review about Eighteen Visions
Eighteen Visions <3 | Reviewer: Chelsea FM | 4/24/200718 Visions....People say that they suck. And they don't. They've been out for a while and no one has really noticed them until this year. You can say that they suck as a headlinder for a band but oh well. Thats not what theyre music is about. I mean, the lyrics a beautiful and how they are worded is magnificent. And how the lead singer sings....Have you ever heard anyone sing as prpoer and understanding as he is??? I think not :]

18 visions at Sevenfold | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/14/2006
I went to the Avenged Sevenfold and Coheed and Cambria concert and i only had 2 complaints. The opening band which was 18 visions SUCKED, THEY WERE THE WORST BAND I EVER HEARD, maybe these guys are better on their albums but i could barely hear anything over the bass, the guitar parts couldn't be heard and the vocals were impossible to understand
