Joey Jordison’s family has announced plans to release VIMIC’s debut album in a statement shared on Instagram.
“On the eve of Joey’s 50th birthday, we have a very special announcement for you,” the family stated. “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.”
“Joey didn’t do anything small,” they continued. “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. 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,'” the family concluded.
A Kickstarter campaign will launch on Monday, April 28th, to raise funds for the album’s September 2025 release. The campaign will feature personal items from Joey’s collection and a special reunion event. VIMIC and guest drummers will perform on Joey’s kit during this event.
The release of ‘Open Your Omen’ marks a significant milestone in Jordison’s musical legacy. This achievement comes years after the band’s initial formation.
Research from Wikipedia reveals that Jordison formed VIMIC in 2016 after leaving Scar the Martyr. The lineup featured singer Kalen Chase Musmecci alongside former Scar the Martyr members Jed Simon, Kyle Konkiel, and Matthew Tarach.
Documentation from Joey Jordison’s official website shows the album was originally scheduled for a 2017 release. The project has experienced significant delays since then.
Blabbermouth reports that this upcoming release will fulfill Jordison’s original vision. The family has worked carefully to secure rights and preserve the artistic integrity of the original recordings.
The planned reunion event will honor Jordison’s legacy. Multiple renowned drummers will perform on his personal kit. They will also share previously untold stories about the legendary musician.
