Vision of Disorder came out of Massapequa, New York in the mid-1990s with a sound that was heavier and more atmospheric than a lot of what was happening around them. Their self-titled debut in 1996 and the follow-up 'Imprint' in 1998 built a following with songs like 'Living To Die' and 'Jada Bloom' that mixed hardcore aggression with something more melodic and introspective.
Tim Williams handled vocals, and Mike Kennedy played guitar. The band's lineup shifted at times, and they went through periods where they weren't active. They put out records like 'From Bliss to Devastation' in 2000 and 'The Cursed Remain Cursed' in 2011, keeping a thread going even when they weren't at the center of things.
Their music never really fit neatly into the nu-metal boom of the late '90s, even though that's when they first got attention. Tracks like 'Excess' and '7/13' had a raw, personal quality that felt separate from any scene. They were a band that certain listeners held onto, more for the specific mood they created than for any broader trend.
