"ANGELS" RISES STRAIGHT TO NUMBER ONE ON THE FINNISH ALBUM CHARTS!!!
The 69 Eyes' brand new album "Angels" went straight to NUMBER ONE on the Finnish album charts on its first week after release! Earlier "Perfect Skin", the first single release from the album, entered also number one on the singles chart.
"Angels" is out through Virgin/EMI (March 5th, 2007) in Europe and through Caroline Records (March 6th) in the USA. The limited edition will include a bonus DVD containing "Perfect Skin" video, a 5-song live from Hollywood's Whisky a Go-Go in 2006 and "On The Route 69" short film based on photos from Ville Juurikkala's book "Route 69".
The album was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa and Johnny Lee Michaels - the same infamous team that brought you "Devils".
The first single pick is "Perfect Skin" - the video for it was directed by Ralf Strathmann and it was filmed in Hollywood in the mid October 2006. You can watch the video here. The commercial release of the single was January/February 2007, depending on your country (Jan.24th in Finland). The additional tracks on the single will be live versions of "Devils", "Christina Death" and "I Just Want to Have Something to Do" (orig. by the Ramones) recorded at Whisky a Go-Go in Hollywood in March 2006. The single will be an Opendisc with a link to bonus material.
The second single will be "Never Say Die" - the video which includes a whole bunch of The 69 Eyes' Hollywood-inner-circle party people as well as mySpace's famous Forbidden was also directed by Ralf Strathmann and filmed around L.A. in January 2007. You can watch the video on The 69 Eyes official mySpace!
In the US "Angels" will be released by legendary Caroline Records. The label that brought you Misfits, White Zombie and Smashing Pumpkins. Caroline will also re-release "Devils" in the US later on this year with bonus tracks.
