More shows come into focus for Eighteen Visions

So Cal-based metal band Eighteen Visions has added new dates to its in-progress tour, which is a mix of opening slots for Hinder and Staind, along with headlining gigs through mid-December.

The outing supports the Eighteen Visions' self-titled album, which was released in July. The recording is a massive leap forward from 2004's "Obsession," bringing a more arena-rock approach to many of the songs, the band said in a message posted at its website.

"People who thought they had us figured out will hear this album and be surprised," singer James Hart said.

The entire album is streaming at Eighteen Visions' MySpace page.
