____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The 69 Eyes is their first release on a big major label Virgin/EMI. Released in their native Finland in October 2004 later on in Europe through Virgin/EMI and in October 2005 in USA through 456 Entertainment it is also their 4th album to reach gold status and again another number one position on the Finnish TOP 40 album charts.

Combining all their influences from high energy punk to glam and all the way deep down to gothic rock, this album produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Sentenced, Moonspell etc) introduces The 69 Eyes at their very best: loud'n'proud but with a melancholy soul.

Ever since the early 90's The 69 Eyes have been playing like their influences taught them, just like to trust on the unholy combination of black hair, leather jackets and sunglasses after dark - The Ramones, Dead Boys, The Cramps, The Doors, Iggy, Elvis '68 Comeback Special; just to name a few - these days it might be even more simple to tell them to be the missing link between Hanoi Rocks and HIM! Looking at their audience, it's definitely easy to tell that we have here a REAL cult band which gathers all the subculture people from goths to black metal kids to teddy boys to glam teens under the same roof - they really ARE the Helsinki Vampires as they call themselves. Headlining European tours and main stage festival appearances at the biggest festivals in Europe like Sziget Hungary, M'era Luna Germany and LiveNLouder Rock Festival Mexico & Brazil have always been a proof of the power of kick-ass ROCK! That's what The 69 Eyes do, they ROCK and kick-ass.

The 69 Eyes previous album "Paris Kills" (2002, Roadrunner/Poko) has reached platinum in Finland. The 69 Eyes have got gold in Finland also from their three previous albums: "Blessed Be" (2000, Roadrunner/Poko), "Paris Kills" (2002) and "Framed In Blood - The Very Blessed Of..." (their best of compilation, 2003).

After the release of "DEVILS", the band has been very busy touring all around Europe, Japan, Russia, South America and in March 2006 finally in the USA. Currently the band is preparing to record their follow-up to highly successful "DEVILS" and also looking for returning to tour more in the USA and play at occasional European rock festivals in the summer 2006.
