Supergroup Eye Am have released their second single “Cryptomnesia,” accompanied by an exquisite music video directed by Mike Holderbeast. The song is released through Corpse Paint Records.

Vocalist/guitarist Kenny Hickey shares his thoughts:
“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 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 was formed this very year by Crowbar vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein, Type-O Negative guitarist/vocalist Kenny Hickey, drummer/vocalist Johnny Kelly, as well as former Crowbar bassist Todd Strange. The band was brought together by Andrew Spaulding of Corpse Paint Records, who is a mutual friend of all the members. Eye Am have previously released the power rock ballad “Dreams Always Die With The Sun,” which received immense praise from critics. The group is highly influenced by Black Sabbath and The Beatles, which can be perceived in the new song “Cryptomnesia.”
