Eighteen Visions - Yesterday Is Time Killed (1999)^{Release ID: 19461}

The late 90s marked the entryway of Eighteen Visions after changing their name from Macabre. Their sound back then was vicious death metal-influenced metalcore, almost heading into early deathcore, rather than their more hardcore-oriented subsequent works. It's quite moshable, I guess. However, it suffers a similar issue to that Damnation A.D. debut, with its lo-fi production detracting the greatness a lot of the songs would've had. And one or two audio samples go on for so long, I'm surprised they weren't sued.

One song I think is worth mentioning and qualifying as a highlight is that 7-minute instrumental epic, but there are two "what the f***!?" kinds of problems; 1. It's untitled. 2. It's split into 8 tracks. I really don't get why they've done that, honestly. Yesterday is Time Killed is a decent album, but I would like and mention it more if those flaws were fixed....

Favorites (only one worth mentioning that would be better without its problems): The 7-minute untitled epic
