VIMIC – The Return of Joey Jordison…

Louise Swift 7 May 2016 Press Release

Globally recognised as as one of rock & metal’s most respected drummers, Joey Jordison has unveiled details of his new band, VIMIC.

Vimic

Rounded out by Kalen Chase [vocals], Jed Simon [guitar/vocals], Kyle Konkiel [bass/vocals] and Matt Tarach [keyboards], VIMIC has debuted ‘Simple Skeletons,’ the first single from their debut album, ‘Open Your Omen’ which is set to land later this year via Roadrunner Records.  ‘Simple Skeletons’ is streaming now on VIMIC‘s official YouTube channel and is available today at iTunes, Amazon and all DSPs.

Recorded at Sound Farm Studios in Jamaica, Iowa, ‘Open Your Omen’ was produced, mixed and mastered by Kato Khandwala (My Chemical Romance, Blondie, Paramore).

Jordison spoke with Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal host José Mangin about forming VIMIC and the significance of the band’s forthcoming album. “I decided that I really wanted to start fresh. I did not want to keep rehashing some old ideas, if I’m going to keep going I really want to break loose, wipe the slate clean and start fresh,” Jordison stated.  “We went into the studio with (producer) Kato Khandwala and started hashing it out… kind of old school. We went in and said, ‘let’s just go back to being in the studio, jamming as a band, getting together with our instruments… and just creating from the ground up.  That was one of the coolest things about creating this record.'”

The career of Joey Jordison is one that, by any measure, stands among the most creative and impressive in the history of modern metal.  It is a career that really has been many careers – musician, songwriter, and producer – from small town beginnings to global prominence.  Jordison’s journey has included an extraordinary string of hits, 11 platinum and 40 gold records, and a Grammy Award, as well as numerous industry accolades for his top tier musicianship and, above all, an immeasurable influence on countless fellow artists and passionate fans around the world.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
