THE 69 EYES new album

le guitariste de MONSTER MAGNET s'invite sur leur nouvel album, ça va donner ! Sortie prévue en septembre.


MONSTER MAGNET's Ed Mundell has laid down "ripping guitar tracks" for the upcoming ninth studio album from Finnish goth metallers THE 69 EYES, tentatively due in September. The CD is currently being tracked with the Grammy-winning producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MONSTER MAGNET, FU MANCHU). The recording process is taking place both in Helsinki and Los Angeles.

Commented THE 69 EYES drummer Jussi 69 (born Jussi Heikki Tapio Vuori): "We used SLAYER's 'God Hates Us All' for long to wake us up before the shows on tour back then, I guess that's where the name Matt Hyde came into our mind."

THE 69 EYES recently completed a European tour as part of the Hellhounds Fest 2009, also featuring TIAMAT and AVA INFERI.

Quality video footage of THE 69 EYES' February 18, 2009 concert in Munich, Germany can be viewed below (clip uploaded by "eblinternational").

THE 69 EYES released a box set called "Goth'n'Roll" in Finland on Halloween. The set, which contains three CDs and one DVD, documents THE 69 EYES' period from 1998 to 2003 when the band broke into the mainstream success in Finland and spread their Helsinki vampire bat wings over Europe.

THE 69 EYES - Recap Of Back In Blood Listening Party In new York Available





Ken Pierce at www.PiercingMetal.com has issued a recap of THE 69 EYES' listening party for their new album, Back In Blood, which took place in New York City on June 12th at The Arrow in the East Village. An excerpt is available below:

Track listing:
'Back In Blood',
'We Own The Night',
'Dead N’ Gone',
'The Good, The Bad & The Undead',
'Kiss Me Undead',
'Lips Of Blood',
'Dead Girls Are Easy',
'Night Watch',
'Some Kind Of Magick',
'Hunger',
'Suspiria Snow White',
'Eternal'.

"As you can see by the track names they have not moved far from their Gothic premise all that much but when the album began I had to say that it was like a slap in the jaw based on the level of heaviness that they have chosen to deliver this time around. The album is probably the heaviest that I have heard from them, and I own the entire catalog of their music and can safely gauge this for you. The best and quickest way for me to describe it to you is to say 'think of a heavier and darker Devils and to wind back the hands of time a few albums, a solidly evil successor to Blessed Be.' The title track had some elements of MÖTLEY CRÜE’s vintage time and I believe it was 'We Own The Night' that had a riff that I felt offered homage up to THE CULT.

The 69 Eyes have never been slow to line out their influences when they do interviews and I always love when some of them manifest in a fashion in their material. I loved 'Dead Girls Are Easy' and think this will become one of the albums most popular numbers and also the slower track, but that one’s name escaped me because I was mainly listening and mingling more than taking notes against a track run down. As he walked around the room Jyrki made a point to let me know that singer London LeGrande was doing some backing vocals on the particular track playing. Some of you might remember London from the short-lived BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION project with Tracii Guns and Nikki Sixx."
