JOEY JORDISON’s Family Launches Kickstarter To Finally Release Long-Awaited VIMIC Album

To release the eagerly awaited VIMIC album Open Your Omen in September 2025, the family of the late SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison has started a Kickstarter campaign to secure the necessary funding.

Between May 2016 and October 2017, VIMIC released four singles from the project, including “Simple Skeletons,” “She Sees Everything,” “My Fate,” and “Fail Me (My Temple),” which notably featured Dave Mustaine of MEGADETH.

The planned 2018 release of Open Your Omen through Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) and T-Boy Records (UMe/Andy Gould) was derailed by several factors. Produced by Joey Jordison and Kato Khandwala (THE PRETTY RECKLESS, POP EVIL), progress ceased in 2018 after Khandwala‘s tragic death on April 25, 2018. This led Jordison, Konkiel, and Simon to prioritize SINSAENUM, BAD WOLVES, and IMONOLITH. The subsequent passing of Joey Jordison on July 26, 2021, caused further delays to the album’s release.

Description on Kickstarter page states: “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.”
