Jyrki 69, lead vocalist for Helsinki's darkest and deadliest goth metal band THE 69 EYES, will release his first-ever solo album on June 23 via Cleopatra Records. The disc, titled "Helsinki Vampire", builds on the distinctive "goth 'n' roll" sound that THE 69 EYES honed over the course of a dozen albums (millions of units sold collectively worldwide) while adding a more richly textured, darkly romantic atmosphere.

This is pure "goth 'n' roll" from Helsinki as we all know it! Several of the tracks from "Helsinki Vampire" have already been picked up for use in upcoming movies, including the horror film "Sunset Society" (starring Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD) and "Halloween Hell House" (starring "21 Jump Street"'s Richard Grieco and the voice of MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine.

The music of Tombs cannot be classified into one, or even two groups of music. The blending of styles creates an avant-garde element to their work, generating a blackened sludge atmosphere that at once lingers and attacks with doom-like aggression.

While there is plenty of aggression and drive in speed, Tombs creates a mystic aura around each song, luring the listener deeper into a journey of inner philosophy. The Grand Annihilation not only stands as Tombs most superbly crafted album, but also as one of the most creative, magical, and intriguing works of this year.
