MANY EYES - the new band led by iconic metalcore frontman, Keith Buckley – unleash their new music video for “Revelation.” Directed by Tom Flynn (I Prevail, Lamb of God) and shot in Long Island, NY, the video is a loving homage to the iconic music video for Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Surrounded by a cast of devoted fans, the video feeds off the intensity of the track with ever shifting camera angles, an equally chaotic moshpit and a captivating performance from the band. “Revelation” may mark a new beginning for Buckley, yet the devotion present in their performance is reminiscent of a band that’s long had their skin in the game.

"As with any and all Revelations...we appeared out of nowhere in our truest, most timeless form,” shares Buckley. “This video doesn’t just capture who we are, it conveys who we have always been. Within the swirling energy is an immovable expression of our love for music and the connections created by that love. This is us at our source and center. A truth to which we as a band will always return.”
“Revelation” was co-written by Buckley with new band members and esteemed multi-instrumentalist brothers, Nick Bellmore and Charlie Bellmore. The fast-paced, hard hitting track reflects on Buckley’s internal battles as he’s worked on overcoming alcoholism over these last few years. The track was incredibly well-received upon its release garnering immediate attention from the likes of Brooklyn Vegan, Consequence, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Alternative Press, Revolver, and many more. In addition to the press praise, the track was added to a number of Spotify, Apple and Amazon Music playlists across the globe.

A long and winding road brought Buckley to MANY EYES. As it did for so many of us, the pandemic forced Buckley to sit with himself and look back on his life, and he found himself at the end of the line. He knew something needed to change, so he decided to focus on his mental health, chose sobriety, spent a month in a recovery facility “to learn how to live soberly,” and reorganized his priorities as a father and husband.
During this time, Buckley wasn’t even thinking about potentially making a return to music. That is until Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta reached out and suggested he consider working with trusted ambidextrous collaborators Nick Bellmore and Charlie Bellmore whose diverse history in bands like Kingdom Of Sorrow, Toxic Holocaust, JASTA coupled with countless writing and touring experiences with a myriad of other acts like Corpsegrinder, Dee Snider and Ripper made them the perfect foils. As it turns out, the three musicians bonded over their shared deep-seated appreciation for nineties hard rock and alternative and struck a delicate balance between pit-splitting intensity and arresting infectiousness with brothers Charlie playing guitar (and bass), Nick playing bass/drums and also producing/mixing the new music, while Jamey Jasta took on the role of Executive Producer. The single and forthcoming new album were recorded at Dexter Lab Recording and mastered by Randy Merrill (Cage The Elephant, Imagine Dragons, Foo Fighters, Muse) at Sterling Sound.
MANY EYES will be heading out on tour next year, opening for Thursday on their 21 year anniversary tour of their acclaimed album, War All The Time. This will mark the band’s first full U.S. tour and also the first chance for fans to hear the new MANY EYES material live. See below for a full list of dates and get your tickets now HERE.
