Vision of Disorder

Vision of Disorder is an American metalcore band from Long Island, New York. Formed in 1992, the band initially released three albums before disbanding in 2002. They garnered attention for blending melody and groove into a traditional hardcore framework, but their attempts to pursue an alternative metal direction on their fourth album were met with limited commercial success. The band reunited in 2008 and has since released two further albums, The Cursed Remain Cursed in 2012 and Razed to the Ground in 2015.

History
Guitarists Matt Baumbach and Mike Kennedy formed the band in 1992 with vocalist/lyricist Tim Williams, drummer Brendon Cohen, and bassist Mike Fleischmann. Vision of Disorder released a series of demos and contributed to several compilations before releasing the Still EP in 1995 on Striving for Togetherness Records. The band appeared in the N.Y.H.C. documentary around the same time. Vision of Disorder gained attention for incorporating different styles into its hardcore framework. Vision of Disorder signed with Roadrunner Records' subsidiary, Supersoul, and released its self-titled full-length debut in 1996. The band was later praised for its impact upon the popularization of hardcore music: the debut album was "metallic hardcore that no one had heard, released for a mass audience on a big label. It had its merits; powerful, screamed vocals often layered over depressing clean vocals combined with fresh 'un-hardcore' guitar sections and unfamiliar drum patterns. For anyone into hardcore at the time, this was the album to have." Williams said that Jake "was a good bass player, but was horrible for VOD", and he was fired following a tour with Madball. The band made amends with Fleischmann and began touring again in December 1996. Williams and Kennedy formed the band Bloodsimple while Cohen and Fleischmann played in Karvnov. Vision of Disorder reunited briefly in order to play three songs during a show with Bloodsimple and Karnov. The band played several one-off shows and shot footage for a DVD before formally reuniting in October 2008. Williams described the material for the reunion album as similar to Imprint. While the album was ultimately delayed several times, in July 2011, the first single, "The Enemy", was released on Candlelight Records. On September 18, 2012, The Cursed Remain Cursed was released. The album was celebrated as "largely a return to the confrontational metallic hardcore that gave Imprint its cult following," although "some elements of From Bliss to Devastation...creep in on occasion". Around this time Matt Baumbach left the band, and former Mind Over Matter and dayinthelife guitarist Josh Demarco took his place in the line-up. VOD's next album was released on November 27, 2015, 'Razed to the Ground', via Candlelight Records (and was produced by Zeuss). AXS contributor Terrance Pryor named the release one of the best metalcore records of 2015, calling it "a definite rager from start to finish". ==Band members==
