ICYMI: EIGHTEEN VISIONS have bomb dropped their new anti-racist single “1996”

1 min read

EIGHTEEN VISIONS have shared a new crushing single “1996”, a muscular track about takong a white supremacist to-the-ground! Yikes!

Comments Vocalist James Hart: “It was 1996. At the time, Huntington Beach had no shortage of white supremacists and we were always finding ourselves in a tangle with them. I was serving detention on a Saturday during the first couple of weeks of my senior year in high school. As I entered the detention room I took a shove from one of the Nazis we had a beef with that carried over from the previous school year. The hours couldn’t pass soon enough and as the bell rang I was able to catch him outside where I took him to the ground. Once again, I had gotten the better of him and exposed him and his hateful ideas to those that witnessed the events.”

FUCK ALL THAT YOU BELIEVE & FUCK RACISM.

Eighteen Visions

The new song marks the band’s third new recording they have released in the past month, following covers of Alice in Chains’ “Them Bones” and Vision of Disorder’s “D.T.O.”.

1996 lyrics:

Firestorm playing in my head
Would’ve loved to fucking see you dead
You tried but you were never a threat to me, to me

I’ve found my release
It chokes and it bleeds
As I watch you decay
Now I watch you decay
Now I watch you decay!

Your politics are a fucking lie
And this hate I won’t compromise
You tried but you were never a threat to me, to me

I’ve found my release
It chokes and it bleeds
As I watch you decay

In 1996
I was just a kid
Not taking your shit
Fuck all that you believe

Yeah, I saw you hit the ground (saw you hit the ground)
Yeah, they went and cast me out (went and cast me out)

Sent out to eradicate, you’ve left yourself exposed
Sent out to eradicate, on you my will imposed

In 1996
I was just a kid
Not taking your shit
Fuck all that you believe

Your a fucking plague on humanity
You’ve left yourself exposed
