At the end of last year, Finnish vampires The 69 Eyes announced that they would release a new album in 2016. Today we get to see the new album's cover artwork, and the tracklist of Universal Monsters as well as the first trailer of the recordings sessions. The first single and video from it, "Jet Fighter Plane," will be released on January 15th, 2016. Stay tuned!

As the album title Universal Monsters refers, the band are portrayed in movie monster lightning, showing them as well classic and timeless creatures. "The covers are planned and designed as an old-school CD covers - remember when the booklets used to be as exciting as the album itself?! It will actually have five different covers being such a folder - each member of the band can be used as a cover creature of their own. Ville has really succeeded in capturing the classic movie vibe for the shots without any special make-up or photo shopping. The 69 Eyes are the universal rock 'n' roll monsters - not so many of us left anymore," says vocalist Jyrki69. "So from real fans I wish they would get the actual CD in their hands to get the full album treatment as we have planned it to be experienced!"
