Eighteen Visions Full Discography Discussion

Innovation is a word that gets thrown around a lot on this show. On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan, Joe, and Jon try to put every release by Eighteen Visions into the proper context to figure out if they were just another metalcore band in the 2000’s or if they pioneered and paved the way for all the bands to follow. #discussmetal #eighteenvisions

Eighteen Visions were pioneers the whole way and they changed pretty much every album. Their earliest stuff is proto-deathcore and they perfected metallic hardcore by Until The Ink Runs Out. Even the lame stuff that preceded the hiatus (Obsession and the Self Titled*), those records were among the first where metalcore bands went in a more hard rock direction to chase the bag.
What they've done since coming back, including both EPs, is generally a synthesis of everything up to and including Vanity, which is the pocket where they're best.
*I don't think it's fair to say that it was people who wanted things to stay heavy disliked this album. I didn't know anyone at the time who didn't listen to at least some emo and pop-punk, but we all hated the self-titled. There's a reason the band broke up not long after releasing it, it's not what anyone who goes to shows wanted. Album sales only get you so far, you need to be able to tour.
