Eighteen Visions is the sixth studio album by Eighteen Visions, released on July 18, 2006.[1] It was the band's only album released on Epic Records. This album saw the band take a step away from its metalcore roots in favor of a new, more melodic tone and featuring "deep-throated, group-oriented arena styled rock vocals."[1] Some countries have added two bonus tracks. One is taken from a Truskill records compilation called "Trustkill Takeover Volume II". The second is a re-recorded version of the track "Prelude to an Epic" from their album Until the Ink Runs Out. The album has sold around 100,000+ copies in the U.S. The album peaked at #74 in the U.S. Billboard chart.[5]
