In 1995, Long Island, NY hardcore legends Vision Of Disorder (VOD) – who are credited by many as spurring the creation of the post-hardcore and original metalcore genres – released their groundbreaking record Still as a four-track 7” EP on Striving For Togetherness Records (SFT Records). Still was part of a new generation of the New York Hardcore revival set in motion by bands such as Madball, 25 Ta Life, Crown Of Thornz, No Redeeming Social Value, H2O, District 9, Shutdown, Indecision and the continued efforts of legendary bands like Sick Of It All, Murphy's Law, and more.

At the dawn of the 20th anniversary of the record, Dignified Bastard, Inc. (founded by Kevin Gill of SFT Records), presents the epic Still recordings on limited edition 12" vinyl records, shrinkwrapped, with download cards included. Six stunning color variations are available. The original packaging, thank you list, etc. have been kept as they originally appeared in 1995.

Pre-order the 12” reissue of Still here. Buy digitally at iTunes, Amazon and Google Music.

The original 7" record sold through numerous pressings before going out of print in around the year 2000, leaving this gem commercially unavailable for nearly 15 years... until now. You are invited to take a step back in time to 1995 - let disorder reign!

Three additional tracks have been added to the original four, to bring it up to a total of seven fiercely aggressive and hauntingly dark songs. The reissue of Still is produced by Tim Gilles and VOD, executive produced by Kevin Gill, and digitally remastered by Michael Rosen (Grammy-Award winning recording engineer/producers with credits including Testament, Metallica, Vicious Rumors, Death Angel and countless others.)

It’s hard to believe that it's been 20 years since a group of friends from Long Island met up with a record label dude in Queens to release this record. One of the most innovative and widely admired bands to emerge from the never-ending collision between hardcore and metal, VOD exploded from the streets of Long Island, New York with Still in 1995 and then to the world on their self-titled full length album in 1996. Rapidly established as one of the hottest heavy bands on the planet, they were merely reaping the rewards of several years of hard work as they mastered their daring crossover sound prior to signing with Roadrunner Records’ Supersoul imprint.

What made VOD unique was, at a time where metallic overtones were starting to make their way back into the NY hardcore sound (i.e. Madball’s “Set It Off”), these Long Island kids took it to a whole new plateau. Their unique vocal style of demonic screaming and Jim Morrison-like crooning played an incredible, influential role on many bands that followed them.
