Finland's goth scene couldn't be better since The 69 Eyes hit the streets way back when. Now years later they have gotten on to release their tenth album to date simply titled "X". This darkened hard rock stride is downright classic with songs including hit single "Red" among other catchy gloomy tunes "I Love the Darkness in You", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and "If You Love Me the Morning After". 

A lot of comparisons are met while others are eerie but creepy cool. For instance "If You Love Me the Morning After" is quite comparable to HIM having frontman Jyrki 69's vocals do a shifting effect of being passionate to soulful while the crackle of the guitar riffs offer more so that makes the listen more wholesome.

While hit single "Red", lays out what this album has to offer this vampiric rock melody stays true to the classic goth styling's that The 69 Eyes is known for over the course of their careers. The melodic vocal lines and lyrics are spot on. "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "I Love the Darkness in You" collide with one another having an upbeat melody that keeps the tunes right on the beat while the album splits up to having a mellow factor first hand and the second portion is more on edge.

The 69 Eyes have stayed true to their classical roots uplifting them  from the ground up keeping the darkness alive and well.

Helsinki vampire rock outfit, The 69 Eyes, is currently putting the finishing touches on its new, 10th studio album, due out early October on Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented lead vampire, Jyrki69, "We've never really celebrated anything, not that we've been playing 20 years or so (vampires don't count decades). Thus this time we thought to celebrate a bit: the new album is entitled as tenth in Roman numbers, it'll be called X.”

X was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, produced by “On The Verge” production team, with Stefan Boman (The Hellacopters, Bullet) handling mixing duties.

The first single release from X, “Red,” will surface this August.


“The sound is the most melodic, yet melancholic, we've ever had,” added, Jyrki69. “Listening to the pre-mixes have been giving goose bumps to everyone here. This is the best 69 Eyes album ever done!”
At the same time the band will also launch its own vampire style red wine, simply called, “Red,” which will mainly be distributed in Sweden and Finland.

While waiting for the album, the Helsinki vampire enthusiastic can go to listen to singer Jyrki's DJ skills as he hosts his Goth'n'Roll club nights in Barcelona's UNDEAD club on July 7th:
