Imprint

Imprint is the second studio album by the American metalcore band Vision of Disorder, released on July 28, 1998, through Roadrunner Records. Recorded with producer Dave Sardy at various studios in New York City in April 1998, it is a metalcore, heavy metal, and hardcore punk album featuring a raw sound and complex rhythms and arrangements. Its lyrics were primarily inspired by vocalist Tim Williams receiving a permanently scarring face injury, depicted on the album's cover, and are centered on turning negative experiences into positive ones. Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo makes a guest appearance on "By the River". Imprint received positive reviews from critics and debuted at number 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart and number 197 on the UK Albums Chart. Vision of Disorder toured internationally in support of the album and embarked on a co-headlining tour of North America with labelmates Sepultura and Earth Crisis. Four months after its release, Roadrunner pulled the band's touring support, leading to their exit from the label. Retrospectively, Imprint has been described as an influential metalcore album, with Kerrang!
