Comments\u00a0THE 69 EYES<\/strong>\u00a0frontman\u00a0Jyrki 69<\/strong>: “We started to make this album single by single, releasing first singles then an EP and now eventually the whole album. The method kept everything fresh and us on our toes while recording and writing new music. Our main aim was to get\u00a0THE 69 EYES<\/strong>\u00a0back to the Finland’s airwaves. Our music is still on the radio but over fifteen-year-old classics. How about new ones? The first single,\u00a0‘Drive’<\/strong>, made this happen and we hit the jackpot here in Finland by being a part of\u00a0‘Sing Meinen Song \u2013 Das Tauschkonzert’<\/strong>\u00a0mainstream TV music show format! Now\u00a0THE 69 EYES<\/strong>\u00a0are back in the spotlight and Finland’s top rock band is playing sold-out shows.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE 69 EYES<\/strong> have been haunting stages all over the world for 34 years and seem to be a truly immortal part of the dark rock\/metal scene. Widely known as the Helsinki Vampires, the quintet gained several platinum albums with “Blessed Be”<\/strong> and “Paris Kills”<\/strong> and not only reached No. 1 of the single and album charts in their home country of Finland, but also plunged the world into a sinful cosmos of love, death, and melancholy, while outliving any other band emerging from the goth hype of the early 2000s. By developing their sound further into sleaze rock on “Devils”<\/strong> (2004) and “Angels”<\/strong> (2007) and not shying away from pitch black Elvis<\/strong> allusions in singer Jyrki 69<\/strong>‘s dark voice and unique onstage dance moves, the band has established a worldwide following. Over the course of over three decades, the band has toured relentlessly throughout Europe, America, Asia and Australia and released twelve full-length studio albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
