Heavy metal supergroup Sun Dont Shine return with their fierce new single, “Power To Live,” available now via Corpse Paint Records. An official music video, directed by Mike Holderbeast, will follow on February 23 across major streaming platforms.
The track serves as the latest preview of the band’s anticipated debut full-length, From Birth To Death, arriving April 1, 2026. Written by Kenny Hickey and Kirk Windstein, “Power To Live” was recorded at OCD Studios in summer 2025. Production was handled by Duane Simoneaux, co-produced by Vinnie LaBella, and executive produced by Andrew Spaulding.
Lyrically, the song confronts humanity’s repeated cycles of violence while defiantly asserting resilience and awareness. The concept originated from a conversation between Hickey and Windstein about the single’s cover art and the shame of mankind’s failure to evolve beyond destruction. As the band explains, the track is “a challenge to the times we’re living in — an insistence on survival and consciousness in the face of cycles that refuse to break.”
Visually, Sun Dont Shine collaborated with artist Nadiya Vizier (Crowbar, Sailor Bob Tattoo) on the striking cover artwork. To celebrate the release, the band and Vizier have created a strictly limited art collection tied exclusively to the single. The collection includes 100 hand-signed posters, a custom sticker sheet, and 10 ultra-limited trucker caps featuring original artwork. Each item was produced specifically for “Power To Live” and will not be reissued.
Musically, the track showcases the band’s signature blend of crushing heaviness and brooding atmosphere. Windstein‘s massive guitar tone locks in with Hickey‘s haunting hooks, while Johnny Kelly delivers precise yet explosive drumming and Todd Strange anchors the low end with thunderous weight. The result is a dynamic, battle-worn sound that feels both raw and deliberate.
