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), is proud to present the epic Stillrecordings 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.

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, VISION OF DISORDER 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.
