Coming at you like a slow moving steamroller, the heavy and doomy music of Sun Dont Shine is once again here to remind you that when you get awesome musicians together in a room, good shit usually happens.
Comprised of former Type O Negative members Kenny Hickey as the band’s frontman and Johnny Kelly on drums, along with Crowbar frontman Kirk Windstein and Todd Strange handling guitar and bass respectively, Sun Dont Shine has been slowly feeding the metal fanbase with killer new tunes.
Previously known as Eye Am, they released tracks “Dreams Always Die With The Sun,” “Cryptomnesia,” and “The Promise Song.” All of which highlight the multi-layered writing style they’ve adopted since their formation. Now as Sun Dont Shine, they’re getting closer to the release of their self-titled EP and I couldn’t be more excited.
Regarding how a band full of such highly regarded musicians can work together so cohesively, Hickey said it all works because they’re all pulling towards the same goal.
“We don’t want it to be one-dimensional. We want the music to be both light and dark—dynamic and unpredictable.”
Sun Dont Shine’s EP is still forthcoming, but if you’d like to cop their singles or a t-shirt, you can do so at their official store.
What you’re about to read is the making of a huge historical moment. This August, Crowbar are hitting the road with Eyehategod for a summer co-headlining tour. Spanning 23 dates, the dudes officially kick things off on August 8 with a concert in Tampa, Florida.
Crowbar and Eyehategod’s Summer 2025 US co-headlining tour marks the first time in over two decades that the bands have collaborated, and believe me, the only energy welcome is an onslaught of total destruction.
Speaking about the tour, Crowbar announced enthusiastically in a collaborative post,
“We are so ready for this!! Crowbar and @eyehategodnola have not toured the states since 1998! This is gonna be an amazing co headliner tour. Get ready for a double dose of doom!”
