THE BEAST

“Super stoked to be collaborating with Route One Booking, I have been a fan of Ben’s  band, Orange Goblin for many years So to work with his company has been awesome. Who knows maybe we both can do some shows together in the future!! People I know personally are working with Ben and Route One Booking and have nothing but awesome things to say about their experience. I’m excited for our future together. “ Andrew Spaulding, Corpse Paint Records

With influences like Black Sabbath and The Beatles, their upcoming album promises to deliver guitar-driven rock with a melodic ballad at its core - bringing audiences back for more.

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.”
