THE 69 EYES filmed a video for “Red” last month with Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, SONIC SYNDICATE and KAMELOT, among others. The band also revealed the cover art for the “Red” single, which is being released today (Friday, August 10) via iTunes.
Regarding the album title, Jyrki69 said, “We’ve never really celebrated anything, not that we’ve been playing 20 years or so (vampires don’t count decades). Thus this time we thought to celebrate a bit: the new album is entitled as tenth in Roman numbers, it’ll be called ‘X’.”
On the topic of the “X” cover artwork, Jyrki69 said, “The cover is pure goth ‘n’ roll: a psychedelic mirror image of old wild animal bones with our X-tagram projected over all. It’s good, evil, magic and voodoo all together! Something to stare at when tripping on the album.”
To coincide with the new album release, THE 69 EYES will also launch its own vampire-style red wine, simply called as “Red,” which will mainly be distributed in Sweden and Finland.

ROB ZOMBIE‘s latest remix album, ‘Mondo Sex Head’, is being called “his most fascinating and fiery remix collection yet” (Artistdirect.com). When asked what genre of music he would call this new record, Zombie said, “I’ve always thought that music is music. People like to put categories on everything, but I never cared – I still don’t… I really like songs with grooves, even if it has some pretty heavy guitar and vocals laid on top of it. I always wanted the groove to be very prevalent. So, tutnr any of these songs into remixes is a very natural thing to me. The record that I did before in 2001 was probably a little bit more industrial, because that was the sound that was happening at the time. [‘Mondo Sex Head’] has more dubstep and rave feel happening in it. But it’s funny to me how you can sort of mutate these songs and take them in different directions. To me, it still works.”
