VIMIC Taps CRYPTA Drummer LUANA DAMETTO For JOEY JORDISON Tribute Show In L.A.

Vimic, the metal supergroup founded by the late Joey Jordison, has announced that Crypta drummer Luana Dametto will sit behind the kit for their highly anticipated reunion show on October 3 at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles. The performance will serve as a celebration of Jordison's life and legacy, with proceeds going to the Joey Jordison Charitable Fund. The event also marks a major milestone for the band, as they prepare to officially release their long-shelved album Open Your Omen through a fan-backed crowdfunding campaign.

Vimic shared the news with deep enthusiasm: "We're excited to announce that Luana Dametto will be joining us as a special guest drummer for the Vimic show on October 3^rd in Los Angeles! Luana is an incredible talent with power, precision, and passion behind the kit, and we're absolutely thrilled to have her sit in for this unforgettable night honoring Joey Jordison and the release of Open Your Omen."

For Dametto, stepping into Jordison's shoes is both a personal and professional honor. The Brazilian drummer paid tribute to her drum hero in an emotional statement: "Joey was my first drum idol ever (and still my biggest) so at the very beginning, he was my only reference, and what a great reference I picked to have! From his blast-beating style and his relentless double bass, to just how creative his fills and grooves can be, he shaped entirely how I think about drums.

"We're capable of changing a song's intention with a beat, and that is how Joey used his kit, to translate emotion and intention. He wasn't just technical or tight; he knew how to use the drums in a unique creative way that we should all reference to and set as a goal. He showed us what music is all about — true emotion and passion."

She continued, reflecting on her early days behind the kit: "I first heard about Joey while watching MTV, and also by watching some of his performances upside down on YouTube. At the time, I had bought a drum kit as a hobby, 'cause I was an introverted kid that wanted something to do, a way to make friends and something to spend my days on, but after I got to know about him and see him play, it completely changed how I saw drums, and actually made me wanna pursue it as a career and take it seriously. He is the number one reason I'm here doing this."

The October 3 show will be more than a reunion—it will be a powerful tribute to one of modern metal's most influential drummers, whose work with Slipknot, Murderdolls, and Vimic left an indelible mark on the genre. As Open Your Omen finally prepares for release, this performance promises to be a cathartic moment not just for the band, but for fans around the world who continue to celebrate Joey Jordison's legacy.
