MACABRE (pre-18 Visions) demo

by

18 Visions had a couple of names before it got finalized. The fist name was DANTE, taken from a song by the Seattle band Dead Skin Mask, “Dante’s Inferno”. The band may or not have played a show under this moniker, but I remember seeing it on at least one flyer. After that, the band changed it’s name to Macabre (pronounced MAC-a-bree by the HB 9 Balls).

The lineup of the band on the demo was James Hart on vocals, Ken Floyd on drums, Dave Peters on guitar, and Billy Sisler on bass.

The demo was “probably” recorded at Selah Studios, where the LIFELESS ep was done (also, XchorusX the godfather ep). These 4 songs were eventually renamed and rerecorded.

“Patricide” kept the same name, and was recorded for Lifeless.  ”Cateclysm” was changed to “Mental Repression” and also on Lifeless. The lyrics on the lyric sheet are a little off. “XVIII Visions Of The Apocalypse” was changed to “Slipping Through the Hands Of God”, and “Legerdomain” was put off until Yesterday Is Time Killed and changed to “Death With A Kiss”

All in all, the demo is exactly that, a demo. The songs are very rough. I didn’t clean up much in terms of sound quality, and it even gets really blown out a couple times. I wanted to keep that feeling.

The rest of the history of Eighteen Visions doesn’t need to be explained here.  That has been chronicled way too much as it is.  But here is where it all started.

    I actually did some recording out of Selah Studios, which was in Los Alamitos right by the high school. It went out of business about 2 years ago, after about 15 years of business. The dude that ran it, Dave Gelhar, was a total trip. He used to record bands in a Nike sleeveless shirt, jean shorts with a hole cut in them about 3 inches in so that they would fit around his waist and not fall down, and super intense 5 strap sandals. He also had super long toenails.

    Shinfo.
