This is brutal. The third album from the East Coast's Vision of Disorder doesn't let up on the anger or relentless riffing for one second, as the musicians thrash and groan their way through the turbocharged likes of "Living to Die" and "Sunshine," sounding like a demented cross between Slayer and Marilyn Manson. The title track puts Cradle of Filth to shame, while "Downtime Misery" is just plain scary. This is sheer, unadulterated headbanging nirvana. --Everett True

Album Description

Straight outta Strong Island, New York. Vision Of Disorder is a 5-piece rock band, set to dominate with their debut TVT release, From Bliss To Devastation. This record was born out of pain and suffering. The intense, pounding images and rock fury that Vision Of Disorder has built upon from their previous records is shown from the moment that they launch into the albums first track Living To Die.

Customer Reviews:

I would die without this CD.......2007-05-21

Vision of Disorder is one of my favorite bands but this is my favorite cd by them. It's not as heavy with the screaming as Imprint or older VoD but its the best. Tim shows his all around singing abilitys on this album. My favorite songs are "Living To Die", "Southbound", and "Pretty Hate." "Pretty Hate" is one of the most interesting songs with a dark side to the lyrics and a grunge style to the sound like Alice In Chains. Of course "Southbound" is my favorite song by VoD ever its got the best beat. If your a big Vision Of Disorder fan you cannot miss out on this CD!

another great cd from VOD.. too bad they broke up.......2006-03-17

When it first came out, i couldn't wait to get it. It sold out everywhere where i lived. I'm just sorry i waited as long as i did to get it becuase i had other cd's on my list i was dying to get. Anywho, this cd i think is one of VOD's best. I thought "For The Bleeders" was the best when i got it, but VOD again proves me wrong. Every cd they released just kept getting better and better as they went on. Too bad they broke up, cuase i would of loved to have heard more from them. They formed Bloodsimple in case you didn't know. Williams and i forget the other guy's name from VOD is in that group. Check that cd out as well, Bloodsimple "A Cruel World".

I street teamed for VOD and my sample cd's to hand out had "Living To Die" and "On The Table" on them. I def. loved the song "Living to Die" when i first heard it. It was the 1st song i heard off the cd when it came out on sampler. As usual, my swag disappeared in seconds. This cd is by far one of my fave's of VOD's, w/ "For The Bleeders" coming in 2nd.

I love every song on this cd except for "On The Table" and "Itchin' To Bleed". "On The Table" i just can't get w/ the beat that's on it... it's kinda a boring song to me. "Itchin' To Bleed" is growing on me day by day, and i'm starting to like it, but i love the rest of the cd over these 2 songs. Since i love the whole cd, i'd have to say my most fave songs are: "Living To Die", "Sunshine", "Southbound", "From Bliss To Devastation", and "Regurgitate" as being my stand out tracks. Every song is pretty much hard, but the things i like about "Sunshine" and "From Bliss to Devastation" is they go slow and funky in certain points. "From Bliss..." almost gets bluesy on the guitars. The cd is just really great, i can't really say anything more about it w/o reiterating things i've already said.

It's def. worth paying $20 if you have too.

I know I'm the liar.......2006-01-28

I'm quite niave when it comes to Vision Of Disorder since I only heard of them through Bloodsimple. I kept hearing how VOD was so much better than Bloodsimple so I figured with a recommendation like that I couldn't resist, and From Bliss To Devastaion was the record I ended up getting.

I'll admit the first time I heard From Bliss To Devastation I didn't like it. It wasn't until recently, actually, that I even started to like Tim's singing voice, but once I started liking it through Bloodsimple's release I decided to go back and give this CD another chance. In the long run VOD has become a slight favorite over Bloodsimple. I don't know what it is but this CD has that 'x factor' that Bloodsimple's debut was lacking. Each song sounds completely different from the next and the vocals never sound the same from one song to another.

One thing I like about this band is how they can be heavy without being overly heavy. Living To Die is a good example, it's really a heavy song but they seem to base their playing on Tim's vocals at that moment. Then there's the times when they use sound effects to give the song a different feel than the rest, particularly in Itchin' To Bleed. Sunshine, a personal favorite of mine, has a very good overall message to it, plus it shows Tim's abilities, be it screaming, singing, whatever, he does it well. There's also the chorus-driven tracks such as Downtime Misery where the song thrives during the chorus and isn't as strong throughout the verses. You also have the vocal distortion accompanied by the heavy riffs, like in Overrun, one of the CDs true standouts.

My favorite songs are Living To Die, Sunshine, Downtime Misery, Overrun, and Regurgitate. Not a lot of bad things can be said about this CD, but people will always find something to complain about. Vision Of Disorder is just a band, people are sure to hate them but I'm not finding a thing to not like about them yet.

AWESOME.......2005-12-23

this is one of my favourite bands check my profile for more bands like this.

What Happened???.......2004-12-07

Wow is all I can say. What happened to VOD? I owned their 1st album and loved it for the raw energy and positive lyrics hidden behind the pummeling guitars. I picked up their latest and must say I am quite saddened to find that VOD has turned into a wannabe chimaira/switched/Damage Plan. Is it still hard? Yes. Is it straight ahead hardcore? No. The first 5-6 songs plod along with no real originallity and nothing to differentiate one between the other. The 2nd hald of the album picks up a little, but not much.

What happened to these guy? They were a hardcore band and now they have tried to turn into some kind of metal band and they sound the same as about 8 other bands out in the market today. If this is their attempt to appeal to a larger fan base then i expect they won't have a record deal in 2-3 years

lost vision.......2001-08-15

Vision of Disorder has sharply departed from thier hardcore roots and is flexing thier artistic muscles on this record. Although many fans enjoyed the energy and aggression of previous albums the band thinks thier old style was worn out and while once revolutionary is now stale. They have produced an album while ear friendly is lacking in energy and insite.

It's different but it's still great.......2001-07-05

I thought it was an excellent cd. i think it is different from their other albums. There is more singing on this one which definitely adds to the album. It's a change but a nice one. I definitely recommend picking it up. They still have that their awesome sound.

definitely their best cd..........2001-07-05

this cd is amazing! it's filled with powerful grooves and riffs that will knock you down. the vocals are great too...perfect mixture of singing/screaming.

their other cds are great, especially their self-titled, but this cd tops them all. it's vod progressing to yet again another level. all the power to 'em.

PICK UP THIS ALBUM!!

OH MY GOD.......2001-06-27

THIS ALBUM ROCKS!!...VOD HAS COME SO FAR SINCE THE RELEASE OF STILL...THIS ALBUM IS ALL NEW AND ALL GOOD...NOT BUYING THIS WOULD BE A CRIME....FROM TRACK ONE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END...VOD TAKES YOU ON A WILD RIDE FILLED WITH EVERY TYPE OF EMOTION...BUY EVERY VISION OF DISORDER ALBUM!!

Its ok but not their best.......2001-06-27

This is a pretty good album, buts its no imprint. Its different because there is alot more actual singing than screaming which i would rather prefer, but in all its its worth picking up if ur into vod.
