VIMIC have reemerged to honor the life and legacy of their late brother Joey Jordison with the release of their long-awaited debut album Open Your Omen, out now. The record, originally completed in 2016, has finally arrived following a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $100,000 to make its release a reality.
Leading the charge is the single “In Your Shadow,” available now. Written in 2014 by Joey Jordison, Kalen Chase, and former guitarist Kris Norris as a tribute to Type O Negative’s Peter Steele, the track has become an emotional centerpiece for both the band and fans worldwide. “After Joey passed, this song unfortunately took on another meaning,” the band shares. “We stand behind it as a tribute to our late brother.”
Proceeds from the album and reunion are directed to the Joey Jordison Charitable Fund’s partnership with Broken Strings, an Iowa nonprofit providing instruments to students in local schools — with the Jordison family expanding the initiative to include drums. With Open Your Omen, VIMIC bring Joey’s spirit roaring back to life, transforming grief into purpose and legacy into sound.
