The 69 Eyes are a gothic rock band from Helsinki, founded in 1989 by vocalist Jyrki 69, guitarists Bazie and Timo-Timo, bassist Archzie, and drummer Jussi 69 - a lineup that has not changed since 1992. Starting out in glam metal, they gradually shifted toward the darker sound they call 'Goth'n'Roll', breaking through internationally with albums such as Paris Kills (2002) and Devils (2004). Over more than three decades they have built a devoted following across Europe and beyond, earning the nickname 'The Helsinki Vampires'.
The 69 Eyes released the four-track EP 'I Survive' on June 5, 2026 via BLKIIBLK, the new metal imprint of Frontiers Records.
The band released the single 'I Survive' featuring Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens on January 9, 2026.
The 69 Eyes co-headlined the 'Cowpunks & Glampires' European tour with Danish rock band D-A-D, covering Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, France and more.
On June 6, 2026, the band performed the album Devils in its entirety at Ääniwalli in Helsinki, marking the record's 20th anniversary.
The EP includes a cover of Thin Lizzy's 'Cold Sweat', produced by Erno Laitinen and mixed by Barry Pointer, who has worked with Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe.
