Vimic Issues New Album, Tour Updates

Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award winner and Slipknot co-founding member Joey Jordison has unveiled plans for his long-awaited return in the form of new musical venture, Vimic.

The band consists of Jordison on drums, singer Kalen Chase Musmecci, who has toured with Korn as a backing vocalist and percussionist, and Joey's former Scar the Martyr bandmates Jed Simon (guitar), Kyle Konkiel (bass) and Matthew Tarach (keyboards).

Vimic just signed a management deal with Nashville's CTK Management, where Jordison will reunite with former member of Slipknot's original management team Danny Nozell, and will be represented by United Talent Agency's Neil Warnock internationally and Tim Borror in North America. Additionally, the band is readying the release of a new album for 2017, which will be released on Jordison's joint venture record label, with a new video & single to be released in December. Stay tuned for full info.

Danny Nozell of CTK Management comments: "It's an honor to be back working with one of the world's best drummers and songwriters. Joey is a metal icon. I look forward to Joey touring globally and reconnecting with his fan base, helping share his new music and talents with the world again."

"I am very excited to be back in business with Joey," said Neil Warnock, Head of Music Worldwide at UTA. "I have fond memories of working with him during his time with Slipknot, and am looking forward to making him a global success with Vimic."

Joey Jordison adds: "The band members have just arrived to my home in Des Moines, and the energy and vibe is absolutely magnetic. We are ready to bring back our music, showcase our new live shows to the masses, and show our appreciation to the fans who got us here and supported us in the first place. That's what matters, the fans!!! It's been a struggle, but we've overcome it and are ready to unleash. Thank you to all who have believed in us, have patiently waited, and continue to stand by our side. We'll see you soon! Get ready..."
