From Bliss to Devastation is the fourth studio album by hardcore band Vision of Disorder, released on June 19, 2001 through TVT Records.

Citing a lack of support from TVT, Vision of Disorder went on hiatus before breaking up the following year in 2002.^[3] A follow-up, The Cursed Remain Cursed, was released on September 18, 2012.

Musical style

This album has more of an alternative metal sound mixed with hard rock and nu metal. In addition to the change in musical style, the songs feature a verse-chorus-verse structure.^[4] On the band's different approach to writing for the album, vocalist Tim Williams stated:

The songwriting is much more stuck to the classic boundaries of songwriting as far as a verse and chorus. Before we had no respect for songwriting and that was our style and we liked that. But now we are getting older and we want to be able to make music that you can just sit back hit play and listen to it.^[4]
