The goth scene has already marked this day in their calendar with a big, black cross because today Finland’s dark rockers THE 69 EYES start the pre-order for their 12th studio album West End, due to be released on September 13th via Nuclear Blast. Get your copy of the digipak (including the album + bluray with a special band documentary directed by Ville Lipiäinen) or digital download via this link (pre-order for the vinyl LP will be available soon).
Right in time for their 30th band anniversary, West End will see the light of day, so prepare for 11 up-tempo rock anthems full of heaviness, black memento mori moments and dark humour featuring several top notch guest vocalists including Cradle Of Filth’s Dani Filth, Wednesday 13 and Beastö Blancö’s Calico Cooper.
In addition, the Helsinki Vampires have unveiled their second single, ‘Cheyenna‘. Jyrki 69 reveals the following about his lyrics: “When I heard the demo of the song, I had the chorus for ‘Cheyenna’ immediately in my mind. It was like a wind whispering or a canyon echoing her name from the past. Who was she? A Native American princess? As I googled the name, it turned out that a lot of American girls under that name have gone missing. A female ghost rider story was born! Cheyenna is freedom’s child – forever.”
So hop on your bikes, let the engines roar and watch the official clip of ‘Cheyenna’ here:
