Joey Jordison’s unreleased VIMIC record might finally drop — but they need fans’ help

His band VIMIC had planned to release their debut album, “Open Your Omen,” in 2018, long before drummer Joey Jordison passed away tragically in 2021. However, co-producer Kato Khandwala’s death in a motorcycle accident that year struck an early setback to that project. Even though they released four singles in the first round, the album was eventually shelved, and the band members decided to focus on Sinsaenum instead. Given that Monday, April 28th, would have been Jordison’s 50th birthday, his family is working to secure the necessary funds so that the full-length album can be released at last. Through this Kickstarter campaign, the campaign will open on April 28 at 10:00 a.m. EST/7:00 a.m. PST. Jordison was joined by guitarist/singer Jed Simon, guitarist/vocalist Steve Marshall, bassist/vocalist Kyle Konkiel, keyboardist/vocalist Matthew Tarach, and vocalist Kalen Chase in VIMIC.

After years of working to secure the rights to the music, the Jordison Family Estate is releasing Open Your Omen independently to get the album into the hands of the fans that have been asking for it for years. Joey didn’t do anything small. We want to release this album the way he would have wanted; with the designs he was so actively involved with creating for the CD, double LP, merch, and with the support of his fans to make the biggest splash we can upon release. We have added personal items of Joey‘s to help raise the money needed to manufacture and distribute physical product, market the album, and host a night to remember as VIMIC reunites to perform an event honoring Joey‘s legacy.
