Description

23rd Anniversary edition. Double album on violet vinyls with gatefold cover and 5 bonus tracks

The 69 Eyes kickstarted the new millennium with this era-defining gothic rock statement of an album. Blessed Be is a cornerstone of The 69 Eyes career and contains songs like Gothic Girl and Brandon Lee. This is the bands fifth studio album and the hard rock side of the band is definitely traceable as the guys do not neglect their riffs and guitar solos as well as the rocking rhythm section; still it is the production of the album, more than anything, that makes Blessed Be a Gothic rock album: for that matter the clean instrumentations are brought up fron in the mix, delivering all the essential gothic melodies while Jyrki’s vocals have become incredibly bass, perhaps overproduced on some songs sounding rather unnatural yet definitely adding to the gothic atmosphere.
