Following a successful Kickstarter Campaign, raising over $100,000 to fund the release of Open Your Omen, the record was officially released on October 3, 2025. Open Your Omen is VIMIC’s only album that has been completed and shelved since 2016. VIMIC celebrated the album’s release with a reunion performance in Downtown Los Angeles’ Teragram Ballroom. Joey Jordison’s sisters have worked on securing the rights to the music over the years to honor their brother and provide the fans with music and more. Jordinson’s sisters played a key role in organizing the special night, surprising the audience with family photos and audio from Jordinson’s own words.

Jordison’s family states, “Joey’s music was his soul, and the Joey Jordison Charitable Fund is honored to support the release of VIMIC’s long-awaited Open Your Omen album and the concert dedicated to Joey’s legacy. His passion for music touched countless lives, and this collaboration ensures his spirit continues to inspire both fans and fellow musicians. We are deeply grateful to all the contributing artists for their partnership in creating a tribute worthy of Joey’s memory,” reads the press statement. “For us, it’s not just about music, it’s about love, family, and the incredible bond Joey built with his fans. This is all for him.”

Wednesday 13 (who worked with Jordison in Murderdolls) opened the show, energizing the Teragram Ballroom with the catchy single “I Love To Say Fuck” and Murderdolls hits with surprise guest Acey Slade. Special guests, including drummers Ash Pearson (3 Inches of Blood), Chris Williams (Accept), Luanna Demetto (Crypta), Shaun Riekena (Taciturn), Caleb Hayes (10-year-old child prodigy), and Deen Castronovo (Journey), and more, shared the stage with VIMIV in honor of Joey Jordison.

Following Wednesday 13’s performance, Jordison’s sisters shared a montage of photographs of their late brother. The nearly 30-minute montage depicted Jordison’s life from childhood to touring with Slipknot and much more. Fans cheered as a final image of Jordison flashed on screen with his name, birth year, and death year.

The night ended with a memorable drum-off in honor of Jordison. A mic stand with a hangar dressed in a similar jumpsuit and a white mask, mimicking Jordison’s Slipknot outfit, stood behind the drum set while the guest drummers played their snares in salute to Jordison. Additional guests, Travis Regnier (Spite) and Shaun Riekena, joined the drummers on stage. According to the Joey Jordison Charitable Fund, all 10 snares played on stage will be donated to schools. A final image of Jordison flashed on screen, and the crowd cheered one last time.

Funds raised from the Kickstarter campaign are being utilized to release Open Your Omen on CD/Double LP, market the album, and print merchandise that Joey Jordison was involved with designing years ago. Proceeds from the reunion show are focused on the Joey Jordison Charitable Fund’s partnership with Broken Strings. Broken Strings is a non-profit in Iowa that gives out guitars to kids in each school district.

After Jordison departed from Slipknot in late 2013, he shifted his focus to various other ventures. One of these projects, Scar the Martyr, released a self-titled album before disbanding, with some of its members going on to create a new band called VIMIC. The initial lineup of VIMIC included Jordison on drums, Kalen Chase as the vocalist, Jed Simon and Kris Norris on guitars, Kyle Konkiel on bass, and Matthew Tarach on keyboards. They debuted their first single, “Simple Skeletons,” on May 6, 2016, via Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal. Norris left shortly after its release, and later that year, VIMIC introduced Steve Marshall as their new second guitarist.

The band’s first album, Open Your Omen, was first expected to be released in 2018. Produced by Jordison and Kato Khandwala (The Pretty Reckless, Pop Evil), progress came to a standstill in 2018. Khandwala tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident on April 25, 2018, and Jordison, Konkiel, and Simon shifted their focus to Sinsaenum, Bad Wolves, and Imonolith, respectively. Jordison sadly passed away on July 26, 2021, further delaying the plans for the album.

Open Your Omen is out now. It is unknown if VIMIC will be heading on tour to support the album. Stream Open Your Omen on most streaming platforms.
