Possessing one of the most recognizable voices in all of modern metal, a deep, resonant croon that made Helsinki\u2019s goth\/punk outfit The 69 Eyes a massively successful worldwide phenomenon, Jyrki 69 is having one helluva year! He kicked things off with a killer new album, Seven Year Itch, from his gothabilly project The 69 Cats featuring rockabilly guitar slinger Danny B. Harvey, The Damned\u2019s Rat Scabies and Nekromantix leader Kim Nekroman. Later this month, he\u2019ll see his collaboration with German industrial music pioneer, J\u00fcrgen Engler, a superb version of The Neon Judgment\u2019s \u201cChinese Black,\u201d get released on the Die Krupps album\u00a0Songs From The Dark Side Of Heaven<\/em>.\u00a0

And now comes another collaboration from the Helsinki Vampire, this time on a dark and compelling rendition of Jefferson Airplane\u2019s psychedelic classic \u201cWhite Rabbit\u201d performed with guitar virtuoso Steve Stevens, best known for his work with iconic rock superstar Billy Idol. Together this duo update the paisley groove of the original with rich, atmospheric guitars that build into a metallic frenzy of distorted power chords, all surrounding a bone-chillingly captivating vocal take from Mr. 69.

\u201cI have never really mentioned this before but I am a huge Jefferson Airplane fan,\u201d enthuses Jyrki 69. \u201cGrace Slick is an amazing and beautiful person. Jefferson Airplane is one of those bands whose albums I listen to all the time. I was very excited to record our cover version of this ultimate rock classic. We turned into psychedelic gothic rock and Steve Stevens is truly my all-time favorite guitarist! Welcome to My Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll Wonderland!\u201d\u00a0
