Former SLIPKNOT Drummer JOEY JORDISON Debuts “Simple Skeletons” Track From New Band VIMIC
May 5, 2016, 8 years ago
Joey Jordison, former Slipknot drummer, has unveiled details of his new band, Vimic. Rounded out by Kalen Chase (vocals), Kris Norris (guitar/vocals), Jed Simon (guitar/vocals), Kyle Konkiel (bass/vocals) and Matt Tarach (keyboards), Vimic is readying the release of their debut LP, Open Your Omen, due out later this year via Roadrunner Records.
Liquid Metal listeners got the exclusive first listen of the project’s lead single, “Simple Skeletons”, today when Jordison called in to talk about the project with host Jose Mangin.
Vimic, Joridson explained, was born from the blueprint of his previous band Scar The Martyr, which he worked on during his off time from Slipknot. After his departure from the band, he took some time to think about what he wanted to do with his music career going forward.
“I decided I wanted to start fresh,” he told Mangin. “I did not want to keep rehashing old ideas. If I am going to keep going, I really just wanted to break loose and wipe the slate clean. So I renamed the band, and I got a new singer and a new keyboard player [plus] three other members from the Scar the Martyr lineup. We went down into the basement and started demoing material and everything started clicking.”
