Finnish Goth Metal veterans The 69 Eyes unveil new album trailer and announce Finnish tour18/6/2019  Photo credit: Pasi Klemetti Finland's Gothic Metallers The 69 Eyes recently announced that they will release their 12th studio album on September 13th. Right in time for their 30th band anniversary, 'West End' will see the light of day, so prepare for 11 up-tempo rock anthems full of heaviness, black memento mori moments and dark humour featuring several top-notch guest vocalists including Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth, Wednesday 13 and Beastö Blancö's Calico Cooper. Today, the band have revealed the first trailer for their upcoming album, in which they discuss the ”funeral balloons” sculpture on the cover of the album. The artwork was created by the famous Finnish sculptor Jiri Geller, a friend of the band since the very early days. "It was like black magick to have Jiri back in our Helsinki Vampire circles again! I literally haven’t seen him for twenty years but he was the same freak as back then - and as we all are,” - singer Jyrki 69 praises the long-lost lost boy. Watch the trailer, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq5A3il7Dec In addition to their previously announced European tour dates, the Helsinki Vampires are ready for more extensive touring through their home country and will soon embark on a tour through Finland before hitting the rest of Europe and Russia: 14.09.

The tour coincides with the upcoming international release of their debut album The Gereg, slated for summer 2019. Bringing their unique style of Mongolian rock to the masses, The HU will be making their worldwide debut this June during a run of summer festivals in Europe.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 3rd May and can be purchased from the band’s official website, HERE. The four-piece band combines traditional Mongolian instruments with modern American hard rock to create their own style of music they call “hunnu rock,” which derives from “HU,” the Mongolian root word for human beings. This unique sound blends heavy rock elements with traditional Mongolian guttural throat singing, accentuated by lyrics reflecting old Mongolian war cries and poetry. You can watch the band’s EPK HERE. The HU became an online sensation when they released music videos for “Wolf Totem” and “Yuve Yuve Yu” in December 2018, racking up a combined 24 million views to date. They, re-released the singles on March 29, generating incredible global recognition across the globe. The track, “Wolf Totem” reached Top 5 on the iTunes Rock Chart and was featured as the #1 song on 19 different charts, while “Yuve Yuve Yu” reached #2 on 11 different charts across the globe. Both tracks are available digitally HERE. In April, the band were offered Official Mongolian Ambassador to the World by the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Mongolia, whilst he congratulated them on their success. The HU also celebrate their signing to E7M (Eleven Seven Music) – home to Mötley Crüe, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach and Nothing More. Eleven Seven’s COO, Steve Kline said about the signing:- “Eleven Seven is continuously searching for unique and talented artists. The Hu’s mix of traditional Mongolian instrumentation and original brand of rock is unlike any other band. From first listen, we were immediately blown away. The Hu are about to take the world by storm, and we could not be more excited to welcome them to the Eleven Seven family!” Eleven Seven Label Group Managing Director Europe Dan Waite added to Kline’s comments:- “The Hu will perform in 12 European countries in June and July, playing to hundreds of thousands of festival fans this summer. With 2 tracks in the UK iTunes genre top 10 currently this is perfect timing to satisfy the demand to see the band. The excitement building up reflects the compelling blend of music and Mongolian culture”. The HU said:- "We couldn’t be more excited to join the amazing team at E7M. The passion they have for The HU can be felt from New York to Mongolia and we’re excited to do great things together.” THE HU EUROPEAN TOUR 2019 JUNE Thursday, 6 Berlin GERMANY Sage Friday, 7 Nurnberg GERMANY Rock Im Park Saturday, 8 Eifel, Nurnburg GERMANY Rock Am Ring Sunday, 9 Amiens FRANCE Sama'Rock Festival Tuesday, 11 Brighton UK The Haunt Wednesday, 12 Manchester UK Academy 3 Friday, 14 Glasgow UK G2 Saturday, 15 Donington UK Download Festival Monday, 17 Bristol UK Fleece Tuesday, 18 London UK Underworld Wednesday, 19 Paris FRANCE Nouveau Casino Friday, 21 Dessel BELGIUM Graspop Festival Sunday, 23 Varniai LITHUANIA Kilkim Zaibu Monday, 24 Warsaw POLAND Hydrozagadka Wednesday, 26 Copenhagen DENMARK Pumpehuset Thursday, 27 Stockholm SWEDEN Debaser Strand Friday, 28 Oslo NORWAY Tons of Rock Sunday, 30 Hamburg GERMANY Knust JULY Monday, 1 Amsterdam NETHERLANDS Melkweg (Oude Zaal) Tuesday, 2 Cologne GERMANY Luxor Thursday, 4 Belfort FRANCE Eurockeennes De Belfort Festival Friday, 5 Zurich SWITZERLAND Moods Saturday, 6 Cesky Brod CZECH REPUBLIC Rock for People Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, the HU members Gala, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush, with their producer, Dashka, combine the bombastic bass and drums of rock music with traditional Mongolian instrumentation like the Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumur Khuur (jaw harp) and guttural throating singing.

The band consists of Asami (vocals), Miho (bass), Haruna (drums), Midori (guitars) and Miyako (guitars/keyboard). The Lovebites sound owes a debt to the many great overseas heavy metal bands that have directly influenced their writing. Coupled with their own unique take on music, taking a piece from each member’s eclectic background and experiences, everything has culminated into forging a truly formidable group. Their first European tour, including stops in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the UK starts on the 13th of November this year! Lovebites European & UK tour: 13.11. NL Haarlem - Patronaat 14.11. D Essen - Zeche Carl 16.11. D Hamburg - Logo 19.11. D Aschaffenburg - Colos-Saal 20.11 FR Paris - Nouveau Casino 21.11. UK London - O2 Academy Islington Lovebites started working on their first EP at the end of 2016, joined by the amazing engineering team of Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila from Finland who are known for their work with Nightwish, Children of Bodom and Amorphis to name but a few. The Lovebites EP was the end product of those sessions, which was released in mid-2017. In October 2017 they released their first full album, "Awakening From Abyss". In the aftermath of the release of "Awakening From Abyss" in October 2017 through Europe and North America; Asami, Haruna, Midori, Miho and Miyako performed their first overseas live shows in London. On the heels of this success, in June 2018 the all-female band won the Best New Band award at the Golden Gods Awards held by the UK music magazine Metal Hammer, being the very first Japanese band to pull this off. Lovebites released their second mini album "Battle Against Damnation" that same month, taking it on the road with them to the world’s biggest metal festival Wacken Open Air in Germany, where they drove a crowd of over 10,000 people into frenzy before appearing on the main stage at the UK’s Bloodstock Open Air headlined by Judas Priest.
