WEB-EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: THE 69 EYES ON THE FUTURE OF THEIR BAND

In the final part of our interview with the 69 Eyes’ Jyrki 69, the frontman tells Revolver about his hopes for new album, Back in Blood (The End).

What memory sticks out from your time in the studio working on Back in Blood?
Despite the California sun outside, we kept the studio dark all the time and we had horror movies rolling continuously on the studio’s TV to create the perfect atmosphere for a vampire rock album’s recording sessions! We watched some three to four movies every night. It turned out to be pretty addictive, I became a horror junkie: Even now I still have to see some two to three horror movies in a week, I’ll try to slow it down in to one movie per week soon.

Back in Blood seems to have a more powerful, in-your-face sound than your previous albums, do you think that will attract a whole new set of fans?
It’s time to rock for both old and new fans! We already got a song from it, “We Own the Night,” as bonus on the soundtrack of Saw VI, so I guess it’s already happening!
