Watch The 69 Eyes' 'Brandon Lee (Forma Acustica)' Video

09-27-2026

(Freeman) The 69 Eyes are thrilled to unveil their new single "Brandon Lee (Forma Acustica)," out now via BLKIIBLK. Originally featured on 'Blessed Be,' the song was first released in 2000 and became an international success for the band. Its title refers to the late American actor Brandon Lee, who played the lead role in the dark cult classic "The Crow" (1993).

The single was mixed by acclaimed American producer Matt Hyde, who also produced The 69 Eyes' 'Back In Blood,' recorded in Los Angeles in 2009. Known for his work with Slayer and Deftones, Hyde most recently mixed Megadeth's self-titled album 'Megadeth' (2026), which reached No. 1 in the United States.

The music video for the track was filmed at Suomenlinna, Helsinki, and directed by Elias Ryynänen. Paparazzi models Corinna Puleo and Lotte Vainio bring timeless catwalk glamour to the band's gothic rock world, evoking the turn-of-the-millennium aesthetic.

The single is the first taste of an acoustic record, set for release in early 2027. THE 69 EYES will also bring their melodic side on tour in February next year, with a nationwide concert hall tour across Finland.

Vocalist Jyrki 69 comments: "We've been touring nonstop around the world for the past three or four years. I checked the numbers this summer and realized that we had played 89 shows in 22 countries within a single year. Rock 'n' roll is at its best live, but now it's time to shift gears. An acoustic concert hall tour feels exactly right for this moment. As a preview of what's to come, we created new arrangements of many familiar 69 EYES songs and developed them into full acoustic versions. This is an invitation to come and hear us in a new, acoustic setting."
