Eighteen Visions Bassist Dies 2013-06-03 by andcas | 24 Comments | Mick Morris, bassist of former Orange County band Eighteen Visions, passed away in his sleep Sunday night. The 35-year-old was suffering from a pre-existing heart condition that recently left him in and out of the hospital. Unfortunately, he leaves behind many loved ones, including a son, and a predominant impact on the metalcore music scene.
The Salt Lake City native moved out to Southern California in the early 2000s to join with the group that soon became widely influential in shaping the early days of the genre. Morris had been working with Century Media Records, in between being a touring tech, but had always hoped somewhere down the line his old members would decide to reunite.
He played a tremendous part in the close-knit corners of the sunshine state and was honored in the LOUDER THAN HELL: The Definitive Oral History of Metal book. The contributions made, to everyone around him, may be relatively unknown to non-locals, but will surely be remembered by fans in light of the untimely passing of a man gone too soon.

| | | Very sad news, RIP Mick Morris.

| | | Holy shit...
| | | It says I commented on this, but I didn't, but I will because death sucks.
RIP
| | | 35 and a heart condition? Fuck.
| | | RIP
| | | i used to love this band. or at least their second album.
sucks
| | | Nice to see all of the comments are positive (so far), RIP.
| | | Eighteen Visions' albums up to Obsession were some of the most influential records that ended up defining my love for metalcore. Rest in peace, Mick.
| | | Another dead metal bassist.
I smell a conspiracy.
Seriously, RIP though.
| | | damn, 18 visions if one of my favorite bands of all time, this news really makes me sad. RIP mick, thank you for all of your beautiful music
| | | RIP
| | | RIP dude, early 18 Visions albums were great.
| | | yes, been listening to 18V recently and had been hoping for a reunion, I didn't know Mick Morris really wanted that to happen, was probably hoping James Hart would realise how bad Burn Halo really are. Such a shame.
35 is too young, the guy definitely had a big influence on modern harcore/metalcore.
| | | It's always sad to hear someone in the punk and/or metal community pass away. May he rest in peace.
| | | "Unfortunately, he leaves behind many loved ones, including a son, and a predominant impact on the metalcore music scene."
this reads like, its a BAD thing that he had a son and a predominant impact on the metal"cough" scene
| | | Shit, more terrible news. Rip dude
| | | reported
| | | Too many deaths lately this is really sad I never listened to them but RIP
| | | was't trying to be a lowlife, condolences all around.
I legitimately mis-read that earlier in the day, I simply wanted to communicate that it was awkwardly worded.
I agree it would be a serious dick move to make fun of someone passing away, especially at such a young age.
