Info for Death of Darkness
Goth 'n' Roll pioneers THE 69 EYES have been haunting stages all over the world for 33 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" and "Paris Kills" and not only reached #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" (2004) and "Angels" (2007) and not shying away from pitch black Elvis allusions in singer Jyrki 69’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 12 full-length studio albums. With "Death Of Darkness" they open a new hard rocking chapter of their career, including a refreshingly heavy title track and a duet with none less than Kat Von D on 'This Murder Takes Two'.
“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 The 69 Eyes back to the Finland’s airwaves. Our music is still on radio but over 15 years old classics. How about new ones? The first single ‘Drive’ made this happen and we hit the jackpot here in Finland by being a part of ‘Sing meinen Song – Das Tauschkonzert’ mainstream TV music show format! Now The 69 Eyes are back in the spotlight and Finland’s top rock band playing sold-out shows”, comments THE 69 EYES’ frontman Jyrki 69.
The 69 Eyes
The 69 Eyes
Once you’ve survived the 80’s rock scene, you become unstoppable — and The 69 Eyes are living proof. Formed in Helsinki in 1989 and still going strong with the same line-up some four decades later, the Helsinki Vampires have earned their legendary status. In a world with fewer and fewer true believers in leather jackets, midnight sunglasses and low-slung guitars, The 69 Eyes keep the Johnny Thunders’ flame burning like an endless sleazy club night back in the days.
Their biggest hit "Lost Boys" from 2005 was made into an iconic music video by MTV's Jackass star and skater Bam Margera and the song still remains on annual Halloween rock playlists. Another foot on Glam, another on Goth, The 69 Eyes has released thirteen albums, reaching gold and platinum and a mainstream status on their native Finland. They have been touring without any notable breaks all over the world the last twenty years.
Vocals, a lead and a rhythm guitar, a bass and drums are the classic rock band line-up. The 69 Eyes have that magic on stage that is needed for these elements to carry on beyond the rock'n'roll dreams, theirs and their cult following.
This album contains no booklet.
