Kenny Hickey

What draws me to Kenny Hickey is his quiet indispensability. For over two decades he stood beside Peter Steele in Type O Negative, lending guitar and that occasional second voice that gave the band's gothic doom its haunted color. When his frontman died, he didn't vanish into nostalgia; he pushed forward with Silvertomb and earlier Seventh Void. I admire musicians like this who serve the song rather than the spotlight. Brooklyn-bred and unflashy, he embodies the loyal craftsman whose contribution you only fully appreciate when you imagine the music without him. That kind of steadfastness is its own rare artistry.
