"Made In Sweden - Stockholm & THE 69 EYES" (documentary)
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.
