After
being plagued by rabid fans to release the songs that had
only previously been heard on tour, V.O.D. compiled For the
Bleeders as the band’s way of saying thanks
to the fans. Those that have heard the album were instantly
floored and later complained about premature graying.
Hailing
from Long Island and heavier than GoKart’s own Murray the
Cat, VOD signed to Roadrunner 4 years after forming. They
released 2 immensely succesul records
for the label, Vision of Disorder and Imprint, which have
sold almost 100,000 copies. Their popularity helped get them
on tour with such established acts as Sepultura, Sick of it All, and Machine Head. The band has also done
some Ozzfest shows, where they had the oppurtunity to blow
most of the other bands back to the
stoneage.
For
the Bleeders is VOD’s first record for Go-kart and will cement
the band’s reputation as not only one of the hardest working
bands in hardcore, but just plain one of
the hardest.
