Eye recently released their second single Cryptomnesia, with a soft, acoustic intro jolting into heavy-hitting guitar riffs and face-melting vocals, “CRYPTOMNESIA” feels like a total slap in the face in the best possible way. The song centers around the mantra, “And into your arms, I commend my life. And after your death, I take back what’s mine.” It is a perfect embodiment of what makes EYE AM truly spectacular – their ability to combine familiar tones with new, innovative ways to express their love of rock and roll and metal. 

New quote from Kenny Hickey regarding CRYPTOMNESIA

“I think Cryptomnesia extends Eye Am’s appeal beyond just metal particularly doom metal. There is that element but it has deep classic rock and hard rock influences as well. There’s a lot of transitioning back and forth between these styles in the song including multiple key changes and chromatic movements which feature what I think is some very tasteful guitar work. It also has an acoustic guitar intro and outro and even an acoustic foundation to the choruses. We really enjoy throwing all the things we love about classic rock, hard rock, and metal in to the pot to see what comes out.”

“I think we’re finding our sound as we go. And this is sounding more like EYE AM.” -Todd Strange, bassist, EYE AM

“The creative part is the fun part, that’s been the fun part. It’s become the song, to me, that identifies EYE AM. We’re still finding ourselves, and it seems like this is where we are meant to be.”-Johnny Kelly, drummer/vocalist, EYE AM

“We wanted to give more of an unpolished feel…we all grew up on 70s music, so we wanted them to sound more analog, we wanted to sound more like that era.” -Vinny Labella, co-producer, EYE AM

“I really think Cryptomnesia is a perfect example of a new Band finding it’s own style and sound. I love Dreams Always Die With The Sun, but we had a lot more time putting together Cryptomnesia, and the end result is awesome!!! The song is very hypnotic to me. I never get tired of hearing it, and that’s a great thing!!!” – Kirk Windstein

Kenny Hickey adds, “I don’t want our music to be one dimensional.  I don’t want it to be just dark and doomy or always heavy I want it to be  both light and dark and dynamic and I think Cryptomnesia really captures all of that.   I really love the way it moves freely between opposing movements of heavy guitars and sudden melodic key changes and even acoustic segments.  It’s a moody song and it goes a lot of places in the  5 minutes or so it takes to play out.   It feels more like a trip than a song to me.  I don’t get tired of listening to it.”

EYE AM (feat. members of Type O Negative, Crowbar, Down and Silvertomb) have released their new music video for ‘Cryptomnesia’ with Corpse Paint Records.

“It’s my older, wiser self telling off my younger self for screwing up so much crap for so long and screwing up both our lives” – Kenny Hickey’s personal thoughts about Cryptomnesia

With a soft, acoustic intro jolting into heavy-hitting guitar riffs and face-melting vocals, “CRYPTOMNESIA” feels like a total slap in the face in the best possible way.

The music video, a perfect complement to the song, was shot and directed by Mike Holderbeast at OCD Recording and Production.

Pioneering a nostalgic powerhouse classic rock feel with a modern edge, EYE AM are back in the studio working on a new album. The group has been camped out at OCD Recording and Production in New Orleans working on their next record. 

As Kirk describes, the group was “thrown to the lions, so to speak” in their writing process of the album. While band members have always been on each other’s radars, this is the first time they have all gathered to create something together. Drummer Johnny Kelly explains how this experience has allowed them to get “to know each other even though we’ve known each other for a long time—We’re getting to know each other as players.”

Brought together by mutual friend and record label owner Andrew Spaulding of Corpse Paint Records, the band use their own respective experiences in the industry to create a hit power rock ballad “Dreams Always Die With The Sun” which was released on June 2nd, and has gained over 62,000 streams in only a month. With influences like Black Sabbath and The Beatles, the album promises to deliver guitar-driven rock with a melodic ballad at its core, bringing audiences back for more. 

“Everything Kenny writes is pretty. His melodic stylings add their own layer to the music.” -Kirk Windstein

As described by lead vocalist Kenny Hickey, one of the best parts about Eye Am is “pulling things out of the void,” During their studio session, they recognized that there’s a certain power that comes from spontaneity, and the band focused on this element as one of the strongest attributes of their unique sound. This shows in “Dreams Always Die With The Sun,” as the song sounds incredibly composed while still leaving room for interpretation from its players. 

Guitarist and vocalist Kirk states: “That’s what I love about writing. Not quickly or hurrying on the spot—because you feel like you’ve accomplished something. Because when you woke up, this thing didn’t exist. And then, at the end of the day, you have a recording of it. It’s like it’s there forever.”

“We all have our writing styles, and the band is really finding our own kind of sound that works for us with this recording session,” he continues. “It’s original, and it’s cool. Of course, it’s difficult not to show your style and your influences, but this doesn’t sound like our other bands; it sounds like us four dudes. This time we’re learning to feed off each other and bounce ideas off one another, and that’s when you truly collaborate.” 

And each member brings something unique to the team. As Kirk puts it, “Everything Kenny writes is pretty. His melodic stylings add their own layer to the music.” 

As drummer Johnny describes, with bands in the past, he often noticed a lot of overthinking, and with Eye Am, he has seen an incredible amount of spontaneity replacing this. He appreciates all the input he gets from his band members. “They’re not short on ideas. So we’ll be working on something, and then somebody will come across something else in a sidebar, and say, ‘Hey, try this.’ And then it works.”

This is the true talent of this group – by tuning into their intuition and own spontaneity they create a truly authentic and powerful sound, and their new project promises to bring equivalent power in their songs to come. 

“Dreams Always Die With The Sun” was released on June 2nd and the band has since entered the studio at the end of June to finish off the project.

Now the team is preparing for another single to follow up in October/November with an EP/ album release by Spring/Summer of 2024.
