THE 69 EYES: New Video Interview Posted Online

Weekender staff writer Nikki M. Mascali conducted an interview with vocalist Jyrki 69 of Finnish goth metallers THE 69 EYES prior to the band's October 21, 2009 performance in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Watch the chat in three parts below.

A review of the concert is available at TheWeekender.com.

THE 69 EYES filmed a video for the song "Dead N' Gone" earlier in the month in San Francisco, California. The clip was once again directed by MTV superstar and close friend Bam Margera.

THE 69 EYES kicked off a North American headlining tour on October 5 in San Francisco, California. Support on the five-week trek is being provided by DOMMIN and THE BECOMING.

"Dead N' Gone" is the second single off THE 69 EYES's new album, "Back In Blood", was issued in Europe (excluding Finland) on August 28 via Nuclear Blast Records (September 15 in the U.S. through The End Records). It was tracked with the Grammy-winning producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MONSTER MAGNET, FU MANCHU) and features a guest appearance by MONSTER MAGNET's Ed Mundell. The recording process took place both in Helsinki and Los Angeles.

The first single from the album, "Dead Girls Are Easy", was described in a press release as "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 for the song was directed by Margera and the artwork was designed by Estevan Oriol, whose work has graced countless covers from such artists as CYPRESS HILL, THE TRANSPLANTS and SNOOP DOGG.
