Kenny Hickey And Johnny Kelly Announce New Band Silvertomb

Formed in the wake of Type O Negative and Seventh Void, Silvertomb is the latest musical endeavor of guitarist / vocalist Kenny Hickey, drummer Johnny Kelly, bassist Hank Hell, along with New York City hardcore veteran Joseph James, (Agnostic Front, Inhuman) on guitar, and Aaron Joos (Awaken The Shadow, Empyreon) on keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals.

Silvertomb combine the musical styles of bands such as Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath with a bone crushing sonic experience. Kenny Hickey describes the sound of Silvertomb as "heavy, dark and spiritual - like a dark gospel."

The band will make its performance debut on Saturday, August 26th at the Starland Ballroom, a concert venue located in Sayreville, Middlesex County, New Jersey, as part of the ongoing Ride for Dime benefit. Ride For Dime Inc. is a charitable organization that honors the lives of guitar hero and friend, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, Jeff Thompson, Nathan Bray, and Erin Halk.

Johnny Kelly comments: "I'm really looking forward to taking in part in the New Jersey Ride For Dime. It's gonna be a great event with a lot of cool bands all playing for charity and for celebrating the music and life of Dime! I'm excited about debuting the new band Silvertomb at RFD as well. Thanks to Rita (Haney) & the RFD organizers for the invite. Rock & Roll, bikes and booze! What more could you want? See you on the 26th!"

Kenny Hickey adds: "I've never had a bad show at Starland Ballroom. The energy is always there, and the sound on and off stage is great. I couldn't think of a better place for our first performance."
