Vision of Disorder’s Tim Williams Returns With His New Band, Rollin’ Coffin
Rollin’ Coffin is the brainchild of former Bloodsimple & Vision of Disorder frontman Tim Williams. The new band is poised to release their debut single, “Runaway”, on April 2nd through Static Era Records and produced by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Such Gold).
“Runaway” comes at you with a driving sound that is very different from the aggressive metal stylings that you would expect from Williams. The band pays homage to its early influences by using a blend of classic and indie garage rock, that evokes a 90’s grunge feel with a modern alternative rock sound. Don’t get it twisted, though. Rollin’ Coffin are doing their own thing and have found a contemporary sound that’s all it’s own.
