Part 15 of 15 in this badass series!!
THE 69 EYES return with their ninth studio album, 'Back in Blood,' 12 goth 'n' roll anthems guaranteed to rock the crypt. "Unsurprisingly, the main inspiration for the album came from the vampire realm," vocalist Jyrki 69 explains. "It's almost like vampires are taking over the world!" he muses referring to the current 'Twilight' mania.
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 will be directed by MTV superstar and close friend Bam Margera, who was also responsible for the Eyes' rock homage to '80s cult movie 'The Lost Boys'.
Matt Hyde's (Slayer, Monster Magnet) ultra-tight production has brought the danger back to THE 69 EYES' sound. The artwork has been designed by Estevan Oriol, whose work has graced countless covers from Cypress Hill to The Transplants and Snoop Dogg.
"We've worked so hard over the last two years," says Jyrki. "We played around 125 shows worldwide but all our sacrifices paved the way for the birth of this baby. 'Back In Blood' is a culmination of 20 years worth of hard work."
