[edit] Career After Eighteen Visions

Since the break up, James Hart has been working with former Nixons frontman, Zac Maloy, on a new mainstream rock band called Burn Halo. Originally, Hart conceptualized it to be a solo project; however, during the development of the music and recording, the direction of Hart's idea changed, and Burn Halo was formed.

Around 11 songs have been written so far, according to Hart's blog. The only tracks that can be heard on the band's Myspace page are titled 'Dead End Roads And Lost Highways' and 'Dirty Little Girl'. Former Eighteen Visions guitarist Keith Barney, as well as Avenged Sevenfold lead guitarist Synyster Gates look to have contributed to the project as well. Hart recently signed with Island Records. Other contributors to his new project include Nickelback drummer Daniel Adair, former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney and Neal Tiemann of The Midwest Kings.
