Vision of Disorder is tangentially attached to Bellmore's "unscene" through drummer Brendon Cohen – he hung out with the Whatsoever boys and I grew up with his brother. In the 1990's, V.O.D. had a rather large following and released four studio albums: Vision of Disorder (Roadrunner Records, 1996), Imprint (Roadrunner Records, 1998), For the Bleeders (Go Kart Records, 1999), and From Bliss to Devastation (TVT Records, 2001). They toured the world and even met Ozzy when they played OzzFest in '97. But bad managing and poor label support finally did the band in, in 2002.
Here's the Vision of Disorder clip that was cut from Bellmore: The Unscene (which can be found on the "extras" DVD)...
From what I can find on the web, it looks like V.O.D. reunited around 2007, released Dead In New York (2008), a DVD featuring live performances and backstage footage of their reunion tour, and are possibly recording a new album.
Back in 2003 I finished a documentary on the music scene from my hometown of Bellmore, Long Island. But Bellmore: The Unscene only scratched the surface of the Bellmore scene. My intentions with this blog is to dive deeper into the music and people of Bellmore. I also don't expect people outside of Bellmore to care about this blog but just in case they're interested, they're welcome to browse and learn. This will largely be the place for the people of Bellmore to replace the copy of Colonel Bastard's Horny Left Nut Band they lost or to relive an old Intellectuals show at La Serayña... amongst other things Bellmore.
