Reviews list for Eighteen Visions - Yesterday Is Time Killed (1999)

Yesterday Is Time Killed

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
