THE 69 EYES BACK IN BLOOD
Helsinki, Apollo, 14.08.2009 Primal doubts related to The 69 Eyes' affection to the ground of Los Angeles and Grammy award winning producer Matt Hyde, who replaced J.L. Michaels behind producing helm, was soon replaced, after the European tour with splendors of Swedish dark scene Tiamat and bands departure to the studio in the City of Angels, by curiosity and expectation. The reason was that news from the studio trickled, but in the same time intensity was sufficient to burn impatience into everyone devoted to the work of at the moment, beside the movie vampires of Twilight saga, the most popular vampires in our part of the universe. And when the recording process of the album named «Back In Blood» reached its height with the first pre-listening party in New York, the old continent was patiently waiting for its first looks into the world of sharpened fangs of Helsinki Vampires and welcomed it first in Berlin and London and now finally in the bands master cave – Helsinki. Place and time of action: club Apollo - with its ambient the place looks like it was made to taste the first drops of aromatic blood wrapped into the snazzy package named "Back In Blood", 14th August 2009. The first snatch of “Back In Blood” saga in the nucleus starts with the album title song, energetic rock story with its atmosphere pretty much on the trace of the cult vampire movie “Lost Boys”, that already inspired The 69 Eyes on the album “Devils”. “Back In Blood” is one of those, as we usually say, tuned songs and there is no doubt that lyrics: “wake me, take me, let me share this curse with you” will obtain expected effect in the audiences on concerts because… “blood is a new black!” „We Own The Night“ adds to the first song «Back In Blood» not only with its atmospheric rock sound, but also because on this album Matt Hyde has put Bazie's and Timo's guitar skills in the first place, beside exceptional Jyrki's vocals, and also with vampiric lyrics that are from first to last song the leading line of this album. «We Own The Night», with catchy refrains where Jyrki plays a little bit with his expressions, will be ranked high by everyone related to this band. “Dead N’Gone” is the first of songs that brings us back to the sound we love the most when it comes to this band, the one we usually call the characteristic The 69 Eyes sound. Guitars, melancholy, lyrics that will occupy your mind for days… everything is here. „The Good, The Bad & The Undead“ is anthemic ode to rock'n'roll. Wild, tuned, loaded with guitar riffs and with an excellent rhythm section is one of those tracks that will, if it finds a place on the setlist, cause a positive chaos between all those who have „sold their (our) souls to rock'n'roll“. „Kiss Me Undead“ with its sound and arrangement balances somewhere between „We Own The Night“ and „Dead N'Gone“, count Dracula and seductive bloody lips of ancient vampiresses. Yeah, „kiss me undead, wake me from the darkness“… 100% The 69 Eyes! „Lips Of Blood“ is another in a chain of songs some expect to hear from The 69 Eyes – saturated with guitars, expressive Jyrki's performance, catchy refrain and productionally faceted with a dose while offering a terrific culmination…. With no trouble you'll feel its bite on your neck and try to keep it there as long as possible. „Dead Girls Are Easy“, sleazy representative of the album and the song that has seen its video premiere on Playboy.com caused a real fraction between fans, because after the cult „Blessed Be“ and melancholic „Paris Kills“ albums which became a definition of Gothic Rock The 69 Eyes way, this song with its heavy arrangement in Mötley Crüe style and with catchy refrain sounds a bit apocalyptic in its devotion to online girls with looks to kill. „Night Watch“ is a total slew in comparison with the previous song and one of those that really are on the trace of the aforementioned album „Paris Kills“ – wistful, gentle, dark, seducive, with a refrain that engraves itself into memory…. „Some Kind Of Magick“ with its sound, performance and lyrics, it definitely adds to the previous track. Another song written in recognizable The 69 Eyes style and with arrangement wrap complimenting mainstream rock sound. „Hunger“ inspired by the same titled incredible movie with the great David Bowie is one of the strongest on the album. And again «Paris Kills» mind-flow. Unmistakable The 69 Eyes song in all its elements, especially when it comes to Jyrki's voice and leading guitars. „Suspiria Snow White“ brings us back to the wild, but in the same time carefully dosed rock sound. Another song in a chain that proves how far are The 69 Eyes ready to go for rock 'n' roll! „Eternal“, 12th and the song that closes «Back In Blood» album. While listening, the mind alternates Elvis, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Johnny Cash.... Awesome acoustic step lounge for remarkable looks into the sunset! „Back In Blood“, and there is no discussion about it, is as Jyrki69 himself said, album which The 69 Eyes waited for 20 years. Under the direction of Matt Hyde brought to make producing highs, it is one of those albums that will often be mentioned when it comes to this years' best creation in dark/rock music. «Back In Blood» is in the same time a classic rock album, but also an album that will crawl under the skin of everyone who understand the essence of what is popularly called Gothic Rock. With full responsibility I dare to say «Back In Blood» is in its plentitude and integrity the other cheek of Gothic Rock, and The 69 Eyes with this album definitely open a new chapter in their long and rich career and take the road that is meant to be only for their journey of music success, where not even a sky is the limit anymore.

Sharpen your fangs, The Helsinki Vampires are back. And this time, they’re “Back In Blood”.
The 69 Eyes return with their ninth studio album, which has been hailed a latter-day ‘Appetite For Destruction’. With blood on their hands and AC/DC on their stereo, the bloodsuckers have combined their past to focus on the future. Turning their back on the comic book glam of ‘Angels’, The Eyes have opened a heavier chapter in their musical career. For the first time this decade, honorary sixth vampire Johnny Lee Michaels has been granted temporary leave from the batcave and Matt Hyde (Slayer/Monster Magnet) has been invited over the threshold.
"He's cleaned the table and dusted the skeletons!", singer Jyrki 69
laughs. "It's like when Rick Rubin helped The Cult discover them on
'Electric' - we made a similar spiritual journey with Matt."
The first single will be the tongue-in-cheek ‘Dead Girls Are Easy’ – a nasty power anthem for sleazy pin-ups complete with a sing-a-long chorus aimed at those online chicks with the looks that kill! The video has been directed by MTV superstar and close friend Bam Margera and the artwork has been designed by Estevan Oriol, whose work has
“Back In Blood” tracklisting:
1. Back In Blood
If you want blood, you've got it!
"Back In Blood" will be out on August 28th, 2009 in Europe (without Finland) via Nuclear Blast. The album will come out in 2 versions: simple version and box set version.
-----------------
THE 69 EYES team up with Nuclear
Blast for their new album!
After
winning two awards as the best TV series in its category at two
different Finnish annual awards, "Operation Earth",
environmental reality TV show in which Jyrki69 and Jussi69 had the
"Pirates of the Baltic Sea" campaign, is now
nominated for the international Rose d'Or award!
----------------
The 69 Eyes has started recording their new, ninth
studio album with none other than Matt Hyde - Grammy awarded
producer who's behind works from Slayer, Monster Magnet
and Fu Manchu. The still unnamed album will be recorded in
both Helsinki and Los Angeles, and is due September 2009, while the
video and single might come earlier this summer.
According to bravewords.com,
the idea of collaborating with Matt on the next record came rather
accidentally to the Eyes. "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. It'll be very
interesting to work with him. We have so good material at the
moment!", says Jussi69.
What better way to celebrate the beginning of our third year online than by bringing you fresh news from Finland! Jyrki69 will take part in a new reality show called "Gone Fishing"!
Check out the
trailer at
www.gonefishingshow.com
where the show
will be launched on January 15th!
Prepare again for fun 69 TV times as you watch Jyrki in
nontraditional surroundings!

From the state of the Baltic Sea it is visible that it has been quite sufficiently polluted. By establishing Pirates Of The Baltic Sea, Jussi69 and Jyrki69 provide an opportunity to fight for the Baltic Sea regardless of age, gender or wealth. GIVE MONEY OR SPREAD THE WORD Everyone who enrolls in the pirates binds itself to fight for the Baltic Sea by freely copying an on purpose unregistered pirate mark or by collecting money and by spreading the message. You can see how it goes by visiting piratesofthebalticsea.fi. COLLECTED MONEY The collected amount will go to the wetland project of WWF. When you give, you help the pine swamps to serve as nature's own filters which reduces eutrophication (process where enhanced plant growth under the influence of excess nutrients results in reduced oxygen in water and can cause other organisms to die). Read more on the wetland project of WWF on country.fi. MICHAEL MONROE JOINED THE PIRATES MIKE MONROE was among the first ones connected to the pirates, and he composed and wrote the lyrics for Pirates Of The Baltic Sea single and music video that can be seen on the address: piratesofthebalticsea.fi. TV SERIES The idea of an establishment of pirates was created to bring Operation in connection with the work of the country TV series company, Nordisk Film. The Operation Earth is beginning from 11.11.2008 on Nelonen, which features a program in which three celebrity pairs struggle against the climate change. Read more about the series on country.fi. Artists who, besides Jussi69 and Jyrki69, are a part of Pirates Of The Baltic Sea are: Adam Bomb, Backyard Babies' Dregen, Kory Clarke and Havana Black's Hannu Leiden and Petri Majuri. ---------------- PIRATES OF THE BALTIC SEA Pirates Of The Baltic Sea promo photos:

The Baltic Sea is the most polluted sea in the world. Worldwide climate change affects us all. "Operaatio Maa" (Operation Earth), a new series starting in November on Finnish TV channel 4, features three separate teams with different environmental causes. Rock stars Jyrki 69 and Jussi 69 from THE 69 EYES form one of the teams, that will man the barricades for saving the Baltic Sea: they have formed an anarchistic environmental movement called Pirates Of The Baltic Sea and invite everyone aboard the ship that sails under the green Jolly Roger. ---------------- Angels Rising is now

‘"Goth'N'Roll" 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. "Blessed Be" and "Paris Kills" are considered
the band's classic gothic rock albums by both fans

Habit" from the same period. The third CD is "Goth'N'Roll

ESP Guitar company, after a guitar piece for Timo Timo, has now designed a dream goth'n'roll guitar exclusively for Bazie! He will be offering his master solos on the first The 69 Eyes tour in Spring 2009 on a Phoenix II model with the characteristic 69 ankh symbol on the neck of the guitar.
