EYE AM, the up and coming supergroup featuring Crowbar vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein, ex-Type O Negative guitarist/vocalist Kenny Hickey and drummer/vocalist Johnny Kelly, and ex-Crowbar/Down bassist Todd Strange, have released their second single, “Cryptomnesia“. That song lands online with a music video directed by Mike Holderbeast.
Hickey commented of the track:
“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.”
“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.”
Windstein added:
“I really think Cryptomnesia is a perfect example of a new band finding its 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!!!”
A debut album from the outfit is in the works with more details pending.
