• 0:02
  Probably. You get.
• 0:04
  That knows. Yeah, I got that right on tape.
• 0:06
  What's up everybody? It's Kefi of ghostcultmag.com.
• 0:10
  I am super stoked to be joined by two friends to Ghost Cult,
• 0:13
  Jed Simon and Kaylin Chase of Vimick and many other projects.
• 0:16
  How are you guys doing? Good.
• 0:19
  Doing well, man. All right, you know, we're here
• 0:22
  to talk about the the comeback of Vimick in a way, and we're
• 0:26
  getting the unreleased album coming out after an extremely
• 0:30
  successful Kickstarter, which had to be super gratifying.
• 0:33
  Kaylin, you and I in the past, we've talked about, you know,
• 0:38
  Joey and what he meant to you and working on this project and
• 0:41
  band. And it's kind of how a lot of
• 0:44
  people got introduced to you in the in the heavy music world,
• 0:47
  not the regular music world. But, you know, thoughts on this
• 0:51
  record finally see in the light of day.
• 0:55
  I mean, there was a lot of thoughts.
• 0:57
  First off, I can speak for all of us where we were very
• 1:00
  surprised early in the year when Annie and Katie reached out to
• 1:04
  me and said it was going to happen.
• 1:06
  And you know, well, they didn't say it was going to happen.
• 1:08
  They said, hey, we want to do this.
• 1:09
  We got the rights. And I said, well, honor bound
• 1:13
  and we rallied the troops. And through this, it's been so
• 1:17
  incredibly exciting and, and terrifying and sad and happy and
• 1:22
  bittersweet. It's it's got all of it.
• 1:24
  I think I accident, I, I, I don't know.
• 1:26
  I've I've gone through every emotion and I still am.
• 1:29
  But the most important thing is it's fucking happening.
• 1:32
  Yeah. Yeah, Jed is like the lawn
• 1:35
  Chanee of metal. He's been in so many projects
• 1:38
  and bands, but this is a very special one for you.
• 1:41
  I know. And you know you put your blood,
• 1:43
  sweat and tears into this thing, right?
• 1:46
  Yeah, I think we all pretty much put about as much as one could
• 1:49
  put into a band. And it was fraught with, you
• 1:53
  know, hiccups and the highest of highs and sometimes the lowest
• 1:57
  of lows. And and to get to this point, I
• 2:00
  guess where we're at now is, is a damn good feeling.
• 2:05
  Because like Caleb said, none of us thought they would ever come
• 2:08
  to this. And we'd always talked about it,
• 2:11
  you know, when we were together, you know, hanging out and stuff,
• 2:15
  you know, boy, wouldn't it be nice if so.
• 2:18
  So to have it come to fruition and to have, you know, Katie and
• 2:24
  and Annie and everybody else involved to do the amount of
• 2:27
  work it took to get it to where it's at now.
• 2:30
  It's, it's just all good. So there's, there's not a single
• 2:33
  bad thing going on here. This is, this is for, this is
• 2:37
  for love, you know? Oh yes.
• 2:41
  Yeah, I'm, I'm super stoked. You know, it seems like in a
• 2:45
  good way, everything is kind of coming up Joey in the best
• 2:48
  possible way, right? Like we lost him, but we have
• 2:51
  the music and we have the the memories and one of two projects
• 2:56
  going on right now celebrating him, which is just marvelous and
• 3:00
  wonderful. And obviously, you know,
• 3:02
  obviously Slipknot, whatever they do, every show, they're
• 3:04
  they're paying tribute, they're paying, they're paying it back.
• 3:07
  So, you know, nice to know. And yeah, I'm such a big fan of
• 3:12
  this band. So I, I, I'm count me as one of
• 3:14
  those people. When I saw the trailer hit for
• 3:17
  this record coming out, I oh, hey, we got a cat, cat friends,
• 3:23
  a good luck black cat. Nice.
• 3:26
  The cat also loves Joey. And we I got choked up a little
• 3:30
  seeing that trailer. Like, I'm not going to lie, it
• 3:33
  was, you know, hit me at that moment like, Oh my gosh, this is
• 3:36
  happening. So I'm sure it was the same for
• 3:39
  both of you. Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 3:44
  You know, even just doing those little bits that we did and, and
• 3:46
  seeing the everything that I see that has anything to do with
• 3:50
  this is, is tear jerking, tear inducing.
• 3:57
  So there's a lot of emotion wrapped up in all of this for
• 3:59
  and each of us has our own little slice of emotion that
• 4:04
  that needs, that needs to be put to rest in in a comfortable way,
• 4:10
  you know, and the there's, there's a lot of wounds that
• 4:12
  have been torn open, but they're going to heal now, I hope, you
• 4:18
  know. That is the idea.
• 4:20
  I think this is cathartic. It's a great word.
• 4:23
  It's nice Scrabble word, but it's real.
• 4:26
  I didn't realize that. I hadn't processed hardly any of
• 4:29
  it. You know, I thought I was.
• 4:31
  I thought I'd grieve my friend and I thought I grieved the band
• 4:34
  and I thought I grieved the hiccup in the professional
• 4:37
  career. And then I realized that, yeah,
• 4:39
  I didn't give a shit about anything other than I remember
• 4:41
  when it first came out, I, I got emotional and I was like, I just
• 4:44
  missed my buddy. And then I stopped feeling sorry
• 4:47
  for myself. And I said, wow, I have an
• 4:48
  opportunity to celebrate him in the best fucking possible way.
• 4:53
  And that's been the driving force.
• 4:54
  I think what I've at least what I've seen with everybody
• 4:57
  involved, it's so many people stepped up, not to mention the
• 5:01
  the fans who made this possible with our crowdfunding.
• 5:03
  It's I'm when I said rally the troops, I was talking about the
• 5:07
  boys and Vimick. And then it just kept growing
• 5:10
  and everyone came together in the most beautiful way and I am
• 5:15
  just blown away by it. Yeah, yeah, just the, the
• 5:18
  support through and through is is pretty awe inspiring.
• 5:25
  I'm one of those people. I work as a marketer
• 5:27
  professionally in music and other and other things, and I'm
• 5:30
  always the guy that says don't read the comments.
• 5:32
  But in this case, Reddit has been a wonderful community for
• 5:37
  Joey and his legacy and and open your own men in particular has
• 5:42
  like has a mythological level of excitement.
• 5:47
  Like, you know, I don't know what to a sports movie.
• 5:50
  I don't know what to compare it to Star Wars, like people are
• 5:54
  like overjoyed that this thing is happening, that this show is
• 5:57
  happening October 3rd, you know, just unbelievable.
• 6:02
  And I don't want to miss the chance to talk about the Joey
• 6:05
  Jordison Charitable Fund where the proceeds will go and which I
• 6:10
  think is going to be ongoing. It's not just this is not a one
• 6:12
  time, you know, let's do something once and and Dash, I
• 6:16
  think this is going to go on and on.
• 6:17
  The family has done a very nice job in really getting organized.
• 6:22
  You see sometimes with things like this where you know,
• 6:26
  there's it's, you know, I don't want to say suspect, but
• 6:29
  difficult to pull together because it's a loved one and
• 6:34
  it's hard to you don't get the distance to run something like
• 6:37
  this. So I've been very impressed on
• 6:39
  the outside looking in about how this has all been put together.
• 6:43
  Yeah, it's, it's been a ton of work for, for all those folks
• 6:46
  involved, you know, you know, it feels like we, we've done a ton
• 6:51
  of work too, but that the amount of logistical stuff that they've
• 6:55
  had to do and legal stuff is, is a hill that I can't even imagine
• 7:00
  climbing, you know? No, no, that's when when the
• 7:04
  sisters called me, I immediately talked to my manager, Crystal
• 7:08
  Ganz from Mind Our Music and said, hey, they're asking me
• 7:12
  questions that my pea brain doesn't understand.
• 7:15
  Can you? Can you?
• 7:16
  And Mind Our Music is her management company.
• 7:19
  So I just call her mom and I usually call her mom like this
• 7:22
  mom shit my pants. Why didn't I think of that
• 7:27
  already? Mom, of course.
• 7:28
  Crystal is is mom in a way. Oh yeah, she's been, she's been
• 7:32
  so like Annie, Katie and Crystal and not to mention so many other
• 7:36
  people, like it's impossible to name them all, but the family
• 7:38
  came together, the fans, this group and so many volunteers
• 7:43
  that will be named. But it we all have our special
• 7:48
  talents. And I think we've allowed
• 7:51
  ourselves to kind of facilitate where we excel at.
• 7:54
  And it's been very clear when somebody's trying to take
• 7:56
  something on that is not their strong suit.
• 7:59
  And we've all been really good at saying, Nope, not for me,
• 8:01
  somebody else do this. Yeah, at least I I could say
• 8:04
  that for myself especially. Yeah.
• 8:06
  No, that's that. I think the duties have been
• 8:09
  meted out accordingly as we've gone on, have stepped up.
• 8:17
  Right on red, the Kickstarter. I know that crowdfunding has
• 8:21
  gotten a little bit of a black eye since the pandemic, and but
• 8:26
  I have to say I thought it was done extremely well.
• 8:29
  Like I said, the trailer hooked me and I think it it definitely
• 8:33
  met the goal well ahead of time, which is very impressive.
• 8:37
  But in general, like, I love seeing the Kickstarter because
• 8:41
  that you could see in real time people reacting to this to open
• 8:45
  your own and being released and, and the full vinyl treatment and
• 8:49
  sort of like this is your moment, get this thing, it's
• 8:52
  probably not going to ever happen again.
• 8:54
  And you know, get your copy now. So I think that's, you know,
• 8:58
  really wonderful. I know there's the double LP in
• 9:01
  the CD version and merch and everything.
• 9:03
  And they were merch options and ways to show love and support.
• 9:06
  And people were commenting, you know, how did you feel about it
• 9:09
  while it was ongoing, before it was completed?
• 9:14
  I didn't know what the fuck was going on.
• 9:17
  I. That's why I was waiting for you
• 9:19
  to answer. Yeah, no, I, I, this isn't my
• 9:23
  strong suit. I, I dabble with the concept of
• 9:25
  doing a crowdfunding for myself. And I nixed the idea because of
• 9:29
  some of the bad taste I had in my mouth.
• 9:30
  And I had my own reasons. And, and then I realized that
• 9:34
  that's my own bullshit. And this was such a beautiful
• 9:37
  pure. I mean, if, if I haven't seen
• 9:40
  any bad comments and I actually looked a bit myself, which I
• 9:43
  normally don't do, but this is a pure thing.
• 9:47
  And our intentions were made very clear and they are exactly
• 9:49
  what they are. So while it was happening, I was
• 9:53
  kind of just getting used to the concept that we were literally
• 9:57
  being produced by everyone who loves us.
• 9:59
  Like everyone's got a credit in a sense.
• 10:01
  Not legally, of course, you guys can fuck off.
• 10:03
  I love you. But but this, this was a, a
• 10:07
  communal effort. And as it happened and as it
• 10:10
  happened quickly, we were like, Oh, well, I guess there's people
• 10:12
  who want this. I kind of, I don't remember who
• 10:15
  said or how it was said, but the paraphrase is well fuck, now we
• 10:18
  have to do it. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 10:22
  It's, it's, I think it's about the purest form of crowdfunding
• 10:28
  you know, you can have because it's, it's absolutely for a good
• 10:31
  cause. And there's, there's nothing,
• 10:33
  there's no bullshit going on behind the scenes.
• 10:37
  You know, it's, it's for Joey. There's the money goes right
• 10:41
  back to this charitable foundation, you know, apart from
• 10:44
  expenses, you know, which there are a lot of.
• 10:47
  Yeah, well, Chad, you have 3 chimpanzees coming just for your
• 10:50
  entertainment that we'd had to. When did the elephants get
• 10:53
  delivered? Oh.
• 10:55
  Did we put air holes in the crates?
• 10:56
  Yeah, just basic expenses. To make to share holes.
• 10:59
  I told you to put air holes by bad anyway.
• 11:02
  We'll get new ones. I digress.
• 11:05
  It's all for a good 'cause, you know, that's why we can joke
• 11:07
  about it and and feel there's no, this is a shame, a shameless
• 11:12
  thing. Is that the right word?
• 11:14
  I believe so. It's every possible reason for
• 11:18
  this to happen. That's good applies because it's
• 11:21
  it's it's all for the better Good.
• 11:24
  Yep, I know we. Don't have any empirical
• 11:26
  evidence about pachyderms, but I'm pretty sure it's just one
• 11:29
  hole is all you really need for those those guys, right?
• 11:32
  Just one big hole for the trunk to kind of.
• 11:34
  Peek out. Yeah, yeah, well, oops.
• 11:38
  Like. A blowhole on a whale or a ship?
• 11:43
  Right on. Let me let me just ask like an
• 11:45
  actual brass tacks question is like how much time have you
• 11:48
  spent with this record before recent times?
• 11:51
  Is this something you guys put down and Joey passed and that
• 11:56
  was it? You didn't return to it?
• 11:58
  Have you revisited this record before recently to just ever?
• 12:03
  That's an easy answer for me. The amount of time I spent with
• 12:05
  it is exactly that much. There's too much pain at fault.
• 12:09
  And that for me, that stemmed back to before Joey passed away,
• 12:13
  because there was, there's a lot of shit going on and it hurt,
• 12:19
  you know, you could see things happening and, and, you know,
• 12:23
  as, as a band, we tried to do things and, and it, I get too
• 12:29
  deep into it, but yeah, I, I, it was hard for me to listen to the
• 12:32
  music, you know? And then Kaylyn came up and
• 12:35
  visited me. What was that?
• 12:37
  That wasn't too long ago and. No, a few, a couple years I
• 12:40
  think. He bestowed his copy of the the
• 12:43
  original copy of the CD on me because I'd taken mine and
• 12:45
  smashed against my wall a few years ago just in a drunken rage
• 12:49
  or whatever, you know, emotions. And that was when I started.
• 12:54
  That was when I started kind of I'm like, fuck, this is good,
• 12:58
  man. I should spend a little more
• 12:59
  time with this. And then of course, everything
• 13:00
  happened this year and I'm like, holy cow.
• 13:03
  I got a lot of a lot of songs to relearn that I had literally
• 13:05
  completely forgotten. So the reason, you know, doing
• 13:13
  all this is, is brought joy because it feels good to do
• 13:17
  this. It's not.
• 13:18
  There's no, there's nothing's being forced.
• 13:20
  And it's nice to reacquaint with music I thought I'd never listen
• 13:23
  to again, you know? That's.
• 13:25
  Exactly how it was. That's just me personally.
• 13:28
  I can speak for myself as well because I don't know, like it's
• 13:31
  been interesting. The second that we got back
• 13:33
  together, all, all of us, all the remaining members of VIMIC,
• 13:37
  it was, I said it was like, wow, I feel like we just got off the
• 13:40
  plane from Europe in 2018. Everything fit.
• 13:44
  But there is. And we've, we've been open with
• 13:47
  each other and we've talked many, many times and we've hung
• 13:49
  out many, many times off and on different people.
• 13:51
  But there has definitely been aspects of this that very rarely
• 13:56
  get brought up, especially before this year, because we're
• 13:59
  all processing in our own way. I, I listened to here and there
• 14:03
  a couple times and then when Joey passed that I hadn't, I
• 14:07
  hadn't even gone near it. And so when, like with Jed, when
• 14:14
  this all started happening, I had to reacquaint myself.
• 14:17
  And it was the same reaction, like because there was suddenly
• 14:20
  a reason to do it and it wasn't me, you know, potentially
• 14:25
  getting hammered and sitting alone in my my office and
• 14:28
  listening to what could have been.
• 14:29
  There was no regret. There was no licking my wounds,
• 14:32
  being a victim bullshit. It was like, wow, we have a, we
• 14:35
  have a mission. This is like as close to AD and
• 14:37
  D campaign as I've ever had. I've got all these random
• 14:40
  assholes and we are flying by the seat of our pants.
• 14:44
  And I think the the best quote I've got for this that I've
• 14:48
  paraphrased from somebody from AD and D campaign is it feels
• 14:51
  like it's going to fall apart at every fucking second.
• 14:54
  And that means it's doomed to succeed.
• 14:57
  Yeah, yeah. That's that's your pull quote
• 15:00
  right there, right in the childhood D&D and Caitlin, like
• 15:04
  we've talked before, right a few times and and I know you're such
• 15:07
  a versatile vocalist, but this is clearly like, you know, a
• 15:13
  special chapter in your career. Do you have to like retrain
• 15:16
  certain parts of your game just to be able to pull some of this
• 15:19
  off? Live at the show coming up in a
• 15:21
  few weeks as we record this. Yeah, I had to retrain
• 15:25
  everything because I was also out of Commission for about 2
• 15:28
  1/2 years with chronic sinusitis.
• 15:31
  I had two surgeries, didn't know if I was ever going to sing
• 15:34
  again, and I'd just gotten back into fighting shape just to sing
• 15:39
  my, my ultra, you know, whimsy, fucking crooning shit.
• 15:44
  And all of a sudden I have to do extreme metal.
• 15:46
  So I, I've been working as hard as I Poss.
• 15:50
  I haven't worked this hard since I was doing opera as a teenager.
• 15:53
  So yes, a lot of retraining. Yeah, that was the that was the
• 15:57
  topic of our one of one of our previous interviews talking
• 15:59
  about your your background and, and opera and stuff like that
• 16:03
  and and vocal training. It's absolutely worlds apart and
• 16:07
  different, different stuff. Baby yourself and be good to
• 16:10
  yourself. Congrats on your recovery.
• 16:13
  I I wasn't fully aware of all that.
• 16:15
  I think I vaguely knew that you had some medical problems and
• 16:17
  that was it. Yeah.
• 16:18
  There was a, there was, it was a big, I, I don't like, you know,
• 16:23
  talking too much about it just because it's like, hey,
• 16:25
  especially right now we're here to talk about positive things.
• 16:28
  But it was an amazing challenge and I'm super blessed that I got
• 16:31
  through it. And now I get to pretend I'm in
• 16:34
  my 30s again. And that's funny.
• 16:39
  Right on. Well, Jed and I can tell you
• 16:41
  it's yeah, hindsight is 2020 for your 30s, but yeah, no, it's all
• 16:47
  good. It's all good.
• 16:49
  My hindsight is legally blind, so it doesn't matter.
• 16:52
  That's that's correct. But maybe, and maybe that's your
• 16:55
  superpower though, on top of singing.
• 16:59
  So we got the show coming up and obviously you got to get a set
• 17:02
  list together from this album and and all the singles and
• 17:05
  things people want to hear. And you have some very special
• 17:08
  guests. Obviously Joey is irreplaceable
• 17:10
  as a person and a drummer, but you have extremely talented
• 17:13
  folks who are going to sit the throne and and jam.
• 17:16
  So I think that's also super exciting.
• 17:19
  You want to talk about the process.
• 17:21
  I know you know some of those people.
• 17:22
  Well, do you want to talk about the process of choosing some of
• 17:25
  those guests? Well, I'm just going to, I'm
• 17:28
  going to throw this to Jed, but I'm going to say right now that
• 17:31
  if it wasn't for Jed's connection to his fellow
• 17:34
  Canadian Ash Pearson, we would be all in a state of panic right
• 17:38
  now, having Ash as kind of our main guy from Three Inches of
• 17:43
  Blood, a band that Joey produced before Ash was in the band.
• 17:46
  But when Jed said Ash, I was like, that is so friggin
• 17:49
  perfect. So right away I'll I'll field it
• 17:52
  to you, Jed, about all that. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:56
  Ash came to mind immediately. So did Jean, sort of Thomas from
• 17:59
  Shoga. But you know, eventually it, you
• 18:03
  know, because Ash had a, a working personal relationship
• 18:07
  with Joey that it was a no brainer.
• 18:08
  And his sisters apparently had been looking for him.
• 18:11
  They, I don't know if they couldn't remember who he was.
• 18:13
  I don't know how it happened, but I mentioned his name.
• 18:15
  They're like, that's the guy we've been looking for now.
• 18:17
  He's one of my best friends. So, you know, it all came
• 18:20
  together really quick. You know, Ash is in Ash is like
• 18:22
  Ash is like all us guys is strapping where when we were
• 18:25
  younger, we're we're in 27 bands at all times, you know, and Ash
• 18:28
  is doing that right now and it's it's the guy can pull it
• 18:33
  together. He's such he's such a
• 18:34
  professional, but he's going to he's going to handle the duties
• 18:37
  for for the the heaviest stuff. And he's also pretty technically
• 18:42
  adept. So he's put together the click
• 18:44
  tracks and kind of got everything on his technical end
• 18:47
  together to make it flow better for all of us.
• 18:50
  So that, that's really cool. The other drummers I don't, you
• 18:57
  know, of course, now I'm sitting here doing an interview and I
• 18:58
  can't think of who's who. All I can think is Dean
• 19:00
  Castronova, 'cause I can't wait to meet that guy because I
• 19:03
  absolutely worship his drumming. So.
• 19:08
  Dean is the boss. Man, that's that's a huge again,
• 19:11
  Chris from accept from. Crypto.
• 19:16
  Yeah, I've met her. That's about it.
• 19:19
  Yeah. And then we got we got Caleb,
• 19:22
  that child prodigy, we got Dean son Kyle.
• 19:27
  We have my former drummer Kyle Mayer, who played with 10 Years
• 19:30
  and is currently in September Morning, but he played with me
• 19:35
  in The Changing and Joey played with us on Family Values in
• 19:38
  2007. Not to mention Kyle helped me
• 19:41
  with the first demos of the Vimick vocals I was doing in LA
• 19:44
  when Joey was in Iowa. So we were trying to bring
• 19:47
  people that are connected to him, not only people who love
• 19:50
  him. And, and there's gonna be more
• 19:52
  and there's gonna be some surprises, but every, every
• 19:55
  single person involved has just shown up in the most positive.
• 20:02
  Supportive way and all the music jokes about drummers being this
• 20:06
  way basically like everyone has thrown all pretenses out the
• 20:10
  window and people are just boots on the ground getting this shit
• 20:14
  done and and bending over backwards for it.
• 20:16
  So we're very excited about the the the drummers and we have got
• 20:22
  a good set list and some good form.
• 20:24
  I'm, I'm unfortunately or fortunately, depending on whose
• 20:26
  perspective it is the music director of this thing.
• 20:29
  So I had to figure out a way. How do we get, you know, Baker's
• 20:33
  dozen of fucking drummers in and out and without making it a
• 20:36
  nightmare. So we have a good plan.
• 20:38
  We'll see how it goes. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:41
  The the pieces all, all that work is, is, is coming together
• 20:44
  now and all it's left to do is is get to LA, you know, in the
• 20:51
  next few days or however many days it is and, and hammer it
• 20:54
  out again and, and hammer it out with the guests to our dress
• 20:58
  rehearsal and, and hit. It.
• 21:01
  Man, that's it and I'm I'm I'm looking forward to it now.
• 21:05
  I'm nervous, but that's that's, I've also been like that, but
• 21:09
  what's what's what's bothering me now and I just have to get
• 21:11
  out over it Is, is like, I'm like what's going to happen
• 21:14
  after, you know, that's going to be there's going to be an
• 21:17
  emotional outburst. I I suppose you could say,
• 21:21
  because you know, we did it, you know, Yeah.
• 21:24
  And and oof, going to be a lot of clinks flying around at that
• 21:28
  time probably. Yeah, well, be kind to yourself
• 21:31
  because you know, again, there's no real there.
• 21:34
  There are actual rulebooks on grieving, but they don't really
• 21:37
  apply right Like we're all you're still human.
• 21:40
  So be good to yourself and be fair to yourself.
• 21:42
  Also keeping it in the family friend to ghost cult and huge GI

• 22:23
  the partnership from the nonprofit in Iowa.
• 22:26
  Just, you know, can't say enough positive and good things.
• 22:28
  This is like a feel good story. I know it's going to be hard,
• 22:31
  but I appreciate the both of you and the rest of the band and
• 22:35
  everybody involved for pulling this together and doing this
• 22:37
  and, and shout out to the PR major and for putting us

  together because I wanted to talk to you about this.
• 22:43
  I'm really glad because I was a big fan of this band and I had
• 22:46
  a, you know, I'm hope I'm hopeful to get a copy on CD or
• 22:50
  vinyl at some point somehow. And I'll be, I'll be scanning
• 22:55
  disc hogs for a vinyl probably soon and once, once they're in
• 22:59
  the hands of people. And I can't thank you enough as
• 23:03
  a fan for doing this. I know how hard it has to be to
• 23:06
  put yourself in this position. But I'm appreciative that it's
• 23:09
  all for the right reasons, like you said, Jed.
• 23:11
  Yeah, it is. So it's, it's, it's a feel good
• 23:14
  thing with, you know, the heavy overtones.
