The 69 Eyes

They are the band that time forgot. They are the band that refuses to die. They are the Helsinki Vampires.

Conceived in Finland in 1989, dark rockers The 69 Eyes have come a long way and shaped the genre of ‘Goth ‘n’ Roll’ like no other. With several platinum selling albums like ‘’Blessed Be’’ and ‘’Paris Kills’’ released around the millennium, the quintet not only reached #1 of the single and album charts in their home country of Finland, but also plunged the world into their sinful cosmos of love, death and eternal melancholy and only then outlived any other band emerging from the goth hype of the early 2000s. Initially, The 69 Eyes' music style was of glam metal influenced by acts such as Mötley Crüe and Hanoi Rocks. However, they began to incorporate more influence from gothic rock bands such as The Mission, The Cult, The Sisters of Mercy and The Lords of the New Church. Their sound was described as a mix of the gloominess of gothic rock with guitar-powered rock 'n' roll.

What we have here is a personal best of from four of the bands early 2000’s albums. You’re either gonna like this, or you’re gonna be wrong. A wee home-made 15 track sampler as an introduction...ripped to MP3 @ 256kbps
