Wikipedia
Lifeless was the first EP by Eighteen Visions, following their initial demo (released under the name Macabre). It was released on Life Sentence Records, while the label was still based in California, on an initial press of 1000 copies.
Three of the songs originally appeared on the Macabre demo ("Mental Repression", "Patricide" and "Slipping Through the Hands of God", although the first and later under different names). Two of the songs ("Life's Blood" and "Slipping Through the Hands of God") would also later be re-recorded for The Best of Eighteen Visions in 2001.
After the band broke into the mainstream in the early-mid-2000s, Life Sentence Records reissued the album. It was reissued on February 24, 2004 with an almost identical artwork; only the band logo and album font were updated. An unknown amount of this issue were printed.
The intro from " Murder" is taken from the movie Se7en.
