COMMENTS
Vimic is essentially a follow-on from Scar The Martyr, but with a new vocalist.
The band's debut album, 'Open Your Omen', was expected to be released in 2018 but was derailed when producer Kato Khandwala was killed in a motorcycle accident. The album was eventually released following a successful crowdfunding campaign that was started several years after Joey's passing. The Vimic 'Open Your Omen' album release party would be held on 03 October 2025 at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles, CA. Support came from Wednesday 13 and special guest drummers.
In the months leading up to the album release party, guest drummers were announced at first via the Joey Jordison Facebook page, but later via the Vimic one. Six drummers were announced, in order: 1. Luana Dametto (of Crypta), 2. Ash Pearson (of 3 Inches Of Blood, Revocation, and Zimmers Hole), 3. Caleb Hayes (the 10-year-old drum prodigy and fan of Joey), 4. Chris Williams (of Accept and Elegant Weapons), 5. Shaun Riekena (of Taciturn and also Joey's brother-in-law), and last but not least, 6. Deen Castronovo (of Journey).
