Joey Jordison’s family have revealed that VIMIC’s debut album Open Your Omen will be getting its release this year, via a Kickstarter launching on Monday.
To celebrate what would have been his 50th birthday (April 26), Joey Jordison’s family have announced a fundraiser for the late drummer’s debut album with his VIMIC project.
The metal band – completed by vocalist Kalen Chase, guitarists Jed Simon and Steve Marshall, bassist Kyle Konkiel and keyboardist Matthew Tarach – released several singles after launching in 2015, with Open Your Omen originally planned to be unveiled in 2019. Now, though, it will see the light of day in September 2025, with a Kickstarter launching this Monday, April 28 to raise the funds “needed to release the album”.
A statement reads: “After years of working to secure the rights to the music, our family will be releasing VIMIC’s highly anticipated debut album, Open Your Omen independently to get the album into the hands of the fans that have been asking for it for years. On Monday, April 28th, a Kickstarter Fundraiser will be launched to raise the funds needed to release the album in September of 2025.
“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 honouring Joey’s legacy. An evening full of iconic drummers on Joey’s drum kit, special guests, and stories you’ve never heard.
“Join us and spread the word. Open Your Omen.”
