SUN DONT SHINE Release “Power to Live” – Video Drops February 23

The wait is over. SUN DONT SHINE have officially unleashed their defiant new single “Power to Live,” out now via Corpse Paint Records. The track hits hard and does not pull punches, taking aim at humanity’s endless cycle of violence while refusing to surrender to it.

“Power to Live” is the latest preview from the band’s debut full-length, FROM BIRTH TO DEATH, arriving April 1, 2026. Written by Kenny Hickey and Kirk Windstein, the song was recorded at OCD Studios in Summer 2025, produced by Duane Simoneaux, co-produced by Vinnie LaBella, and executive produced by Andrew Spaulding. It sounds exactly like you would expect from four seasoned heavyweights who have nothing left to prove and everything left to say.

The concept grew out of a conversation about the cover art, when Hickey pointed out the hard truth that as a species, we still have not evolved past killing one another. That frustration became the backbone of the song. “Power to Live” acknowledges the wreckage of history but refuses to wallow in it. Instead, it throws down a challenge. Stay conscious. Stay standing. Keep fighting.

Visually, the band collaborated with artist Nadiya Vizier on the striking cover artwork. To celebrate the release, they have launched a strictly limited art collaboration tied directly to the single. The collection includes 100 hand signed posters autographed by Vizier, a custom sticker sheet, and just 10 ultra limited trucker caps featuring exclusive artwork. When these are gone, they are gone for good.

Musically, the track delivers earth shaking riffs and a brooding atmosphere that builds into something anthemic. Windstein’s crushing tone locks in with Hickey’s haunting hooks, while Johnny Kelly’s drumming drives the track forward with precision and power. Todd Strange anchors it all with a thunderous low end. It is heavy, dynamic, and unapologetically raw.

The official music video, directed by Mike Holderbeast, premieres February 23 across Vevo, YouTube, TIDAL, Apple Music, and Vimeo. The clip leans into stark, unsettling imagery that mirrors the tension between destruction and endurance at the heart of the song.

Formerly known as EYE AM, SUN DONT SHINE unites members of Type O Negative, Crowbar, and Down. This is not a nostalgia act. This is a band carving out its own identity with grit and conviction.

“Power to Live” is streaming everywhere now. Crank it loud. The message is clear. We are still here, and we are not backing down.
