On this episode, Vision of Disorder vocalist Tim Williams discusses the creation of their 2001 single "Living to Die" from the album From Bliss to Devastation. Tim opens up about the deeply personal lyrics, written during a difficult time when he was dealing with his father's illness and his own inner struggles. He also reflects on working with producer Machine, whose boundless enthusiasm and creative energy—especially when it came to capturing vocal performances—made a lasting impact during the early days of his now-celebrated producing career. A powerful example of the band’s musical evolution, "Living to Die" remains one of Vision of Disorder’s most beloved songs and still hits just as hard today.
