Former Slipknot drummer and Murderdolls guitarist, Joey Jordison, has revealed details of his new band, Vimic.
Making up the rest of the line up are Kalen Chase on vocals, Kris Norris and Jed Simon both on guitar/vocals, Kyle Konkiel playing bass/vocals and Matt Tarach on keys. The sextet have shared their first single, Simple Skeletons, which you can check out below.
Their debut album, 'Open Your Omen', is due to follow later this year through Roadrunner Records. It was recorded at Sound Farm Studios in Jamaica, Iowa and produced by Kato Khandwala. Discussing the record and band with Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal host José Mangin, Jordison said:
“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. 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.’”
