Plans are underway to finally release VIMIC’s long-shelved debut album, Open Your Omen, in honor of what would have been late drummer Joey Jordison’s 50th birthday. Originally slated for a 2018 release, the album was delayed following the tragic passing of its co-producer Kato Khandwala in a motorcycle accident. After issuing a handful of singles, VIMIC ultimately shelved the project as members shifted focus to Sinsaenum.
Now, Jordison’s family has announced their intent to independently release Open Your Omen this September, launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the effort. They shared:
“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.”
The Kickstarter campaign is set to go live on April 28th at 10:00am EST / 7:00am PST.
VIMIC‘s lineup included Joey Jordison (drums), Kalen Chase (vocals), Jed Simon (guitar/vocals), Steve Marshall (guitar/vocals), Kyle Konkiel (bass/vocals), and Matthew Tarach (keyboards/vocals).
