Imprint is the second studio album by American metal band Vision of Disorder, released on July 28, 1998, through Roadrunner Records. It was recorded between April 1 and April 19, 1998, with producer Dave Sardy. The album's title is a reference to a permanently scarring knife incident that happened to vocalist Tim Williams. The album's artwork is a hospital photo of William's injury, manipulated on the computer by guitarist Mike Kennedy. Imprint received positive reviews from critics and was a moderate commercial success, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart and number 197 on the UK Albums Chart. Despite this, Roadrunner would pull Vision of Disorder's touring support three months after the album's release, prompting the band to sever their ties with the label. Imprint has since been hailed as an influential record in the metalcore genre. In 2000, Terrorizer listed the album as one of the "100 Most Important Albums of the Nineties", calling it "the record Pantera should have made to push themselves even further beyond Far Beyond Driven".
