V.O.D.

Visions of Disorder, Picked up their first 2 the other day cheap, Has anybody here ever heard them? Kinda like 311 vocals mixed with screaming over hardcore/borderline thrash at times music. The mix works pretty well for them, I kinda like it.

I've got the still ep, and the self titled disc. Decent stuff, but nothing I play on a regular basis.

Um...311 vocals? No way, bro! That's like saying Cannibal Corpse sounds like Barry Manilow vocals mixed with heavy guitars. Haha. I confess, I am actually good friends with the guys in 311, and a big fan, so maybe I'm biased or something. But I don't think the vocals sound even remotely alike.

And honestly, I'm not sure you'll find a good comparison to the vocals. Tim's voice is pretty unique, I think. Dude, his scream at the beginning of "Element" is one of the baddest screams I've heard. It's blood-curdling! Love it! So yeah, I'm a big fan of the band. Every album is excellent, in my opinion. If you continue to dig these albums, check out Bloodsimple, Tim's new band (since VOD has broken up).
