Finland: The land of thousand lakes, the genius madman Arto Paasalina and swamp soccer. And yes, without saying, dark, crawling, melodic gothrock in various forms. HIM and Nightwish are just but a few bands with black as their favourite colour born in the northern hemisphere of Europe. 69 Eyes may well be the next big thing. The band has been around for more then 10 years, making their footprints, but not reaching out to the big masses. "Devils" can be the album that takes them there. The first single from the album "Lost Boys", is the obvious hit song, really an amazing piece of rock’n’roll in it’s hybrid between Cult and Billy Idol, and a song that finds its way to the CD-player’s repeat button quite easily. "Feel Berlin", "Jimmy" and "Nebioso" are also potential hits with their more rock-based and faster sound. As a complement to this, "Devils" also invite you to some slow dances like "Christina Death" and "Only You Can Save Me" where the dark voice of Jyrki69 (close related to the likes of Pete Steele, Glen Danzig and Ian Ashbury) really makes a mark. Still the thing that makes the sound of 69 Eyes stand out is the sometimes almost 80’s mode you can get from the keyboards and programming in the background making the production maybe a bit nicer, but also more modulated and interesting. This is gothic rock without the pretension of being too black and suicide.
