Eighteen Visions Breaks Up

[Jason Tate]

Eighteen Visions (http://www.eighteenvisions.com) has broken up (http://lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=8681).
After several years of touring and quite a few album releases we have decided that it is time to go our seperate ways. We have been a band for a very long time and feel good about everything we were able to accomplish. At this point in our lives and our careers we feel its time to move on to something fresh and new. Weither it be music, touring or just being at home to live and enjoy life. We would like to thank all of our fans, friends and families for all of the great support over the years. We would also like to thank all of the bands we have shared the stage with and everyone who has ever worked with the band, opened a door or reached out a hand. We will be playing our final two shows in April. One in San Diego and one in Orange County. Come rock with us one more time.

[Jamie Pham]

Oh no!

[JohnDorian]

One word, three letters: meh.

[brandonrocks]

Translation: "We're getting piss poor sales from the terrible record we just put out and have no other good musical ideas for new material, so instead of beating a dead horse, we'll just choose to stop now before we get worse."

[capnshindig]

Thank god.

[starinyourfire]

Dam this sucks.

[RiCCioLi]

[ATDIdakota]

Obviously they tried taking the direction of Avenged Sevenfold and failed terribly. Next band in line...It Dies Today.

[ArmaniMassacre]

all i can say is, golly gee, oh darn.

Maybe now Poison will make a comeback as the "Make-Up Kings of Rock"

[yutsmcgee]

samich time

[dave900]

Matchbook Romance broke up? when?

[ArmaniMassacre]

Matchbook Romance broke up? when?

haha...not raggin on ya dude, but that shows how much anyone cares about Eighteen Visions breaking up.....the question comes up of when someone else bit the dust....nice....


but unfortunately, MR broke up a little less than a month ago....I believe...

[AdamSocial]

Mall Emo and metalcore should break up.

[Tony]

samich time

Wrong board.

[love_american_style]

i thought this happened a while ago?
meh, this band hasnt been good for a really long time

Ouch.

[lightcollapse]

well it looks like people really loved 18v.

[Steve Henderson]

*crickets*

How will fashionxcore recover?

[RunStrong]

Tower of Snakes was their only good song due to the brilliant breakdown.

[CrazyNa7e]

this band sucks.

[CountMeOut923]

lets see...are they breaking up because they couldnt sell records and got dropped or because they realized the whole 'cock rock'thing was working for them... hmmmm

Ouch.

hahahaha...

[FASSWcore]

hahaha, pieces of shit. they bowed out at least 3 albums too late.

[tonighttonight0]

never liked these guys...but the marilyn manson cover was decent...

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

they were one of my dirty secret bands that you love but dont tell anyone about. The S/t wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be.

look for the 2 guitars to re-appear in xRAINx , a real shitty straight edge band with the singer of throwdown as the main vocalist. http://www.myspace.com/xrainx

Ouch.

hmm....they're right in saying that it's probaby been that long since a great trustkill release, albeit a few good ones here and there....but to go as far to say that, the Opposite of December sucked....that's quite dumb.

think it's time to update the wiki page...maybe it could read.....

Ouch.

And that, my friends, is known as vandalism. The page has to be taken straight out of the label's autobiography, though.

Anyway, this is a shame. I actually like the past two records.

Posters on Lambgoat called and want their response back. Thanks!

[nouseguy]

thank god.

[etwiels]

Thank fucking god

[tuck0789]

oh well. i didnt care about them

[FOBlover]

*crickets*

How will fashionxcore recover?

The entire punk/emo scene has turned into a fashion show...recover, I wish it would end.

[chelsea__]

Least they can spell. O, wait.

haha
seriously

[moonlights]

and another one bites the dust. How amny is this is 07 already, I lost count. Someone name them all if youre bored. HIPV, Matchbook Romance, ......
the early november...

[Alex DiVincenzo]

That's actually awesome news. Their old stuff was decent, but the new shit was just awful. Rather see them break up now than dig themselves deeper into the pit of awfulness in which they were.

[hxchairstylist]

This band did a lot for OC over the years, and definitely came a long way. I've not been a huge fan of their last few records, but I've always enjoyed them live. I'm glad I got to see them a number of times over the years. Good luck to all those involved in the band/crew.

[chokeychicken]

oh god this news made me so happy.

[GaryCondit]

One thing about this band: they were ahead of the curve for a while. They definately set the trends for fashion in the metalcore scene. I know that is frowned upon alot but to be honest, sometimes in an over saturated scene like the metal/hardcore scene you need something more than killer tunes to set you apart. they were one of the first metalcore bands to show up at Hellfest wearing shirts and ties (and were copied many years after that).

Ultimately, i liked everything they did except the new album. I won't miss them because i still have the cds i like by them. hell, maybe they will form some kick ass bands out of this. It would be nice to see a revival of good metalcore instead of this half-assed KSE, In Flames, Botch rip off stuff that has been coming out today.

[ThisDayForward]

Wow! that's so crazy I just bought "Until The Ink Runs Out" Yesturday.... well you'll always have Syracuse...woooo

[emerypearl]

hah. sorry

[FTTbass]

very good news :-p

[Sleepaway]

This band were cool, and I enjoyed them.

I know a guy who got into a fist fight with them one time.

[fire1at9will]

This just ruined my... everything. I'm really sad.

[snowtires]

yessssssssss

[gclpsptaproot]

wow. this sucks. alot.
they were one of my favorite bands :'[

whoevers happy that they broke up, you should stfu.
its one thing if you dont like them but what if a band you really liked broke up, you'd be upset too.
jeez.

[HoboAdam]

vanity is amazing

[lalalalovely]

wow, i'm ready to do a dance
i knew today would be good

[lalalalovely]

This just ruined my... everything. I'm really sad.

seriously?

[CrenshawPunch]

Least they can spell. O, wait.


Nice, jerk.

[amour faux]

i guess the new album couldn't cut the mustard.

it's absurd.

...

thank you! i'll be here all night!

[love_american_style]

Nice, jerk.

:ban:

[dillonzach86]

They kind of turned to crap, but that still really sucks. "Until The Ink Runs Out" is an incredible album.

[Bury Your Head]

good

maybe their egos will finally die away

[cory-182]

Fuck these guys. At Warped, they said something along the lines of "screw punk, metal is where its at" and everyone waiting to hear thursday at the stage next to it just turned and stared at them.

[ThisIsNotDan]

good riddance. Obsession was great, but their self titled one fucking blew. it's no surprise that major label sellout attempt of a record fucking tanked, it was not very good.

oh well, at least they went out on a good no...oh wait...

[Chris Fallon]

Least they can spell. O, wait.

Yeah, probably a reason as to why they never wrote the best lyrics, ya think?

I'm not surprised this happened though. When you sign to a major and your album goes nowhere, things aren't looking too positive.

[KevinSince85]

Wow best news I've heard all day

[sean omerta]

The world feels a little better already. :-)

[WeltallAY]

Seriously, Eighteen Visions was an extremely important band in our community as well as my favorite band of all time. Open up any hardcore band's CD booklet (for those of you aren't cheap enough to download it) and I guarantee you'll find Eighteen Visions name on it. I became a fan after hearing Vanity years ago and went on to buy everything but "Yesterday is Time Killed" Although their newest CD was stepping more away from their previous sound it was actually a great record (The Sweetest Memory, Our Darkest Days, Truth Or Consequence)

I'm tired of clicking on band news (in this case horrible news) and reading a long list of how this band sucked or "worst band over". If you don't like the band then keep it to yourself. I want to see a list of the actual fans responses not a bunch of teeny boppers who hear "Victim" on the radio and dismissed them.

[abusedcat]

weird, i sold their cd today.

Thank you!! I'm not going to lie, I loved their newest album... it wasn't the same as everything else they did, but it was a natural progression... I love them all! I'm really upset that they aren't going to be making any more music... but it was definitely fun while it lasted! I'm going to miss them... they will always be one of my favorites!

[jdlcmco]

well......i really liked this band !! i see that most of you didn't feel the same way. i enjoyed them live as well.......( but i did think the singer looked like FONZIE from "Happy Days". think i'll listen to OBSESSION now.............

[CodyWeber]

Best. News. Ever.
What a great way to begin my time at AP.

[CountMeOut923]

one less shitty metalcore band.

[watchthesky07]

Did anyone really NOT see this coming?

[watchthesky07]

Oh the year is faaar from over. I'm sure at least a few of them will fold before the end of '07

:-)

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Thank God!

[sleepless nick]

It seems like every week another band bites the dust. I think we will see a big, unexpected break up by the end of the year.

[Zeran]

yipppppeeeeeeee

exactly. there is a god.

[logicalbobcat]

woohoo! their new album was straight nu-metal which is just ridiculous.

Ouch.


apparently whoever wrote that is deaf and doesn't realize This Is Hell has more talent than probably whatever they listen too... but whatever.

[shtjames]

at least if anyone in the band looks at this thread they wont have the luxury of thinking anyones going to miss them

[whothehellru171]

man a lot of the bashing is pretty unnecessary, but whatever. i'm slightly disappointed. i loved the old and new stuff. I think the band just felt like making a more "rock" sounding style of music was just more what they were into now rather than the hardcore they made previously. if they felt it was time to bow out, thats fine whatever. they know what they are doing. sad to see them go.

[converter]

Thats funny cuz The best Of and under the ink was cool and that was about it. They won't be missed.

[Ryan Imhof]

Commmmmmme on Aveneged Sevenfold Atreyu Hawthorne Heights Cute Is What We Aim for Aiden 30 Seconds to Mars
Hahahahahaha.

[adozenroses]

i actually enjoyed 18V's music...

[xerovision1]

Obviously they tried taking the direction of Avenged Sevenfold and failed terribly. Next band in line...It Dies Today.

yea it dies today is fucking terrible now. i loved the caitiff choir

[tbsunday14]

oh i saw them open up for avenged and coheed!!!
they are so so so pitifully bad. but it could be worse.

[NickSyseJr]

Well All I Can Say Is Thanks For Starting Fashionxcore.

[Garrett Miller]

Not a good month for bands

[Garrett Miller]

yea it dies today is fucking terrible now. i loved the caitiff choir
That CD was amazing, I cant even say that I have heard one of their new songs, but I listen to Caitiff Choir almost everyday.

[unholy_amanda]

:'( I really liked this band. Totally unexpected.

[katswansey]

I don't think anyone really gives a shit about this band anymore.

[theonlyguy]

Eighteen Visions older stuff like Vanity and before that was amazing.. sucks that they are parting ways and didn't take the best route for corporate rock.. blah.

[poprocks76]

I am not happy to hear about this breakup. They are/were one of my favorite bands to not only listen to but to go see live. The energy all of them brought to the stage with them is just amazing. I will be keeping up with the new projects all of the members get into so I can support them all.

I know the majority of you hate this band and are happy to see them breakup. This is fine but you really don't have to bash them for all the hard work they have done or how far they have come.

[poprocks76]

at least if anyone in the band looks at this thread they wont have the luxury of thinking anyones going to miss them

Please speak for yourself. There are plenty of people who are going to miss them greatly. I just happen to be in that "plenty" of people.
