69 Eyes Break Down ‘Back In Blood’ – Win A Coffin Case Box Set!

Posted by Bram Teitelman on Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 5:05 pm

Contests

coffin case copyThe 69 Eyes released their 10th album, Back In Blood, last week. If the reaction from the New York listening party the Finnish goth-metallers had for the album a few months back was any indication, their debut album for The End Records is already a fan favorite. Vocalist Jyrki69 went through their new album track by track to talk about it, after the jump.

To celebrate the release of the album, Metal Insider and The End are giving away a limited edition Back In Blood coffin case. It features a silk-screened “coffin case,” a deluxe CD/DVD version of the album, a “Zombie Love” comic book autographed by Jyrki69, an autographed “Dead Girls Are Easy” import single, an exclusive T-Shirt, and a digital download of the album. To enter, just leave a comment. Winner will be chosen on Friday, October 2.

1. Back In Blood
- Ever since I heard this riff I knew this should be an opening track for the album. Like “Framed In Blood” once, this will be also a great opening track for our shows. After hearing the demo and the name of the song, our A&R guy suggested this to also the title for the album – I wasn’t sure at first but seems like they were right: this identifies the vibe of the entire album perfectly! Lyrically in the song the whole vampire mythos is taken back to the Egyptian/pre-Christian times – “2000 years, baby, I’m BACK!”

2. We Own The Night
- This is a celebration of the night and the moon drunk creatures who own it. I stole the name from the movie with the same title; it was too good to waste like that. I think my vocals are at their best on this one on the album. I and producer Matt Hyde were watching “Blade” and I felt asleep for a moment. All of sudden I woke up as Matt was watching the movie and talking to me “Wesley Snipes, he’s THE man!” – There was some magic in the air and we nailed the song before the sunrise.

3. Dead N’ Gone
- This is a radio pop song of the album. It’s a break-up song and I was always thinking of Benji & Joel Madden’s vocals fitting into the chorus. Benji was visiting us while we were recording and one fine day he laid down some amazing backing vocals to this. In the end his and my vocals were mixed together and they really sound strong! This is going to be the second single and the video from the album.

4. The Good, The Bad & The Undead
- This is THE Halloween party song of 2009! Since The CRAMPS are unfortunately gone, I think The 69 Eyes should continue their tradition and become THE Halloween party band! We will take over with this song!

5. Kiss Me Undead
- This was one of the first songs written for the album. It’s about a vampire who’s like a Sleeping Beauty waiting for kiss to wake him up and make his heart go boom!

6. Lips Of Blood
- I was watching all those Jean Rollin’s 70′s French vampire movies while searching for inspiration and one of them was titled “Lips Of Blood”. It surely is my favorite, hauntingly beautiful and mystic movie that deserves a song! I wonder if Jean Rollin would be interested in directing a video for us? This is goth’n'roll, baby!

7. Dead Girls Are Easy
- This is the first single and video from the album. I was suprised about this decision at first but it’s all good since this song ROCKS like Hell. Though I borrowed the title from Terri Garey’s book, the song itself refers more into all those Suicide Girls kind of internet vixens who want to pose dead-looking and on the other hand to all the current teens bitten by vampire mania who prefer to die to be with “Edward forever”. And aren’t all Gothic girls trying to look dead anyways?

8. Night Watch
- I’ve been thinking of writing Moscow into some of our songs for a long time, since that city fascinates me a lot. Ever since the first time I heard the demo of this song, it reminded me somehow of a hot Moscow disco night! “Night Watch” the movie is a great and somewhat mysterious Russian vampire and fantasy movie that happens in Moscow. It’s very different than any other vampire movie, nearly having elements from Kalevala. All this made this song truly magical.

9. Some Kind Of Magick
- This is a hypnotic goth’n'roll song. I could last forever.

10. Hunger
- “We’re damned to live forever…with no release, no end.” David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve are the coolest vampires ever in “The Hunger”. One of the world’s most beautiful women “Forever and ever” Catherine Deneuve is the main vampire Miriam to whom this song is written.

11. Suspiria Snow White
- Horror punk by The 69 Eyes! Matt turned on Dario Argento’s “Suspiria” on TV and I got inspired to include it into the title. Later on I read that Argento was actually inspired for that movie by Walt Disney’s “Snow White”! A very strange co-incident once again!

12. Eternal
- This is the ultimate closing track for the album. I was thinking of the scene from “Interview With the Vampire” in which Lestat returns from the swamp nearly as a zombie state, plays piano (Haydn’s Piano Sonata no. 49 in E flat major, Hob XVI:49 (adagio e cantabile)) and tells Claudia that she’s been a very naughty girl…He could have played this song for her as well…

    The CD is amazing. A very mature musical venture from The 69 Eyes indeed! Furthermore the vocal maturity and dexterity displyed bt Jyrki on this CD just shines. They all shine as musicians here. This indeed likely will be their Appetite For Destruction.

    helsinki vampires are truly the most inspiring true rockin roll band alive i suggest everyone pick up back in blood at your local record store if you want real true music

  42. Jim69 Says:

    This album is the best record I’ve ever heard in my whole life.
    Back in Blood is a start of something new, and something people would probably take some damn good inspiration. I totaly adore this thing about old horror movies and the mix up with Elvis and Mötley, for example. Forever staying 69 until ill die, if it ever happens?

  43. Julia Says:

    I enjoy you latest album!! As good as all the others! :)

  165. tcb1967 Says:

    The band is rawking’n rawling more than ever!!! An awesome album – stay glam:)

  166. Terri Garey Says:

    Don’t enter me in the contest – I already have two of these coffin case bundles (one to keep, and one to give away, just as you’re doing here, though I’m waiting until Halloween!) The coffin case is awesome, btw!

    I just want to say that not only does the Back In Blood CD ROCK like Hell, I’m deeply honored to be involved with anything having to do with these guys. Dead Girls Are Easy (the book) may not be about vampires, but it’s a tribute to all those goth girls out there who aren’t afraid to be themselves, and the song captures that perfectly!

    Long live the 69 Eyes! \m/

  167. r0b Says:

  202. Matt Says:

    Ute

  207. Toivoa Says:

    I must say that “Back In Blood” is an awesome album. It incorporates everything from all of their albums. The rock, the goth, the vampires, and awesome lyrics. I can listen to it all the way through! I love The 69 Eyes dearly. And I hope they keep on rockin’ like they do!

    xx
    Toivoa

  208. Maria Says:

    Oh my.
    I really LOVE this album and I think, it’s your best. It is simply asskicking good…and well, I really do think big parts of “Paris kills”, “Devils” and “Angels” are simply…something inbetween Rock music and Pop.
    “Back in blood” is pure Rock music. I like this, espacially combined with the lyrics. It somewhat makes my day – again and again and again. There’s no better music to drive on a motorway with full speed. Or to make your day somewhat extraordinary.
    I mean…vampires and stuff like that is quite popular (thanks to that sparkling wannabe-vampire), but “Back in blood” broaches the issue of vampires just perfectly. My, if being a vampire (whether a finnish one or not) is like that I cannot wait to be bitten!

  209. Tommy Says:

    I´m undead and I need a new coffin

  210. Regi Says:

    “Joined together, bound forever, deeper, stronger, nothing can tear us apart in this world…”

    C’MON I’M ALIVE!

  213. Jorge Villarruel Says:

    hey, i am not sure of ll the other gothic boys, but my favorite so far is “Paris Kills” (though Stigmata song is boring, ennit?)

    so, how do I get one of those coffins?

    ta.

  214. Lori Says:

    I’ve been bitten & hunger for the prize.

  215. MissSpookiness666 Kuolema Says:

    This record is epic…*_*
    Rock’n'roll/’80 hard rock sound combined with dark and gloomy atmospheres!
    Helsinki Vampires have summarized their twenty-year career with “Back in Blood”: we can find songs which reminds us the sleaze rock times(especially “Savage Garden”, “Wrap your troubles in dreams”), their masterpiece-trilogy (Wasting The Dawn-Blessed Be-Paris Kills ), their recent records Devils and Angels and obviously, without forgetting some new elements in their music. I love the lyrics
    -Jyrki is a genius-!
    Thanks for all the emotions that you transmit me … I’m looking forward to see you live in Rome (my first concert of the 69 eyes after five years of listening)…
    The prize is fucking goth e amazing *__*
    But the main thing is to partecipate ;)

    HAIL,HAIL ROCK’N'ROLL!
    HAIL HELSINKI VAMPIRES’S GOT MY SOUL!

  229. Joey Flaig Says:

    The 69 Eyes are totally my favorite band! I like this album, although a few of the songs caught me a little off-guard. I hope that whenever it is Album 11 comes out, it’ll have more stuff that isn’t necessarily about vampires! [Not that vampires are bad - Hell, they're the Helsinki Vampires! - it's just that I want to see more "new" things, rather than vampires over and over.]
    Also, EXTREME LOL @ Jyrki mocking Twilight.

    I went looking for trouble
    And boy

    She’s in love with herself.
    She likes the dark
    On her milk white neck.
    The Devil’s mark.

    It’s all Hallows Eve.
    The moon is full.
    Will she trick or treat?
    I bet she will.

    She will.

    Happy Halloween.

    She’s got a date at midnight
    With Nosferatu.
    Oh baby, Lilly Munster.
    Ain’t got nothing on you.

    Well when I called her evil
    She just laughed.
    And cast that spell on me.

  276. Maggie Says:

    What can I say about this? Well for one I adore The 69 Eyes. I’ve been a fan for about 5 years now. I have almost all of their CDs and I have to say, this IS the ultimate Eyes album. I love how they made it different without losing their unique sound, something most bands can’t accomplish. The CD starts out with a bang with Back in Blood, and you can definitely hear Jyrki’s vocal influence from David Bowie, which if you love Bowie like I do, is awesome. I can’t wait to see them live in a few weeks, and getting that package would be amazing.

  277. Andreas Says:

    Love this album, love the band, love the old albums, got to love the new one! Cant wait to see them live again next year, vampire rock will never die!
