Goth metal icon Jyrki 69, best known as the baritone crooner for Helsinki metal superheroes The 69 Eyes but also seen earlier this year ripping it up with his gothabilly side project The 69 Cats, is ready to sink his teeth into the supple necks of music audiences around with world with his brand new solo album,\u00a0American Vampire<\/em>, the follow-up to his widely praised debut solo effort, 2017\u2019s Helsinki Vampire! Mixing both cover tunes and original tracks, the new album finds Jyrki teaming up with several renegade collaborators including fellow Nordic rocker Tim Skold (of the metal outfit Shotgun Messiah and industrial projects Skold and Not My God), Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, indie experimentalists Xiu Xiu, pop music queen Tiffany and many more! The album’s first single, a bone-chilling version of the psychedelic classic \u201cWhite Rabbit\u201d featuring virtuosic guitar work from Stevens, has already been released digitally and on 7\u201d.\u00a0

But now the first original track from the album is being released, just in time to haunt your dreams this Halloween! Both written and recorded with Skold, \u201cAmerican Vampire\u201d might be the album\u2019s clearest expression of purpose, opening with dark ambient keyboards before kicking into a massive metal riff and Jyrki\u2019s opening word \u201cBlood!\u201d It\u2019s a haunting, spine-tingling track with cinematic ambitions, as Jyrki explains \u201cAmerican Vampire is a character somewhere between Vampire Lestat and Tony \u201cScarface\u201d Montana. Whenever they make a movie with that title, they already have a song for it! The music was done by Tim Skold, Hollywood legend and survivor, it was fantastic to make music with him!\u201d

Naturally, the song is being accompanied by a gorgeously shot full-scale concept video filmed by director Vicente Cordero who has previously shot videos for both Jyrki and Skold.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
