Widely known as the Helsinki Vampires, the quintet gained several platinum albums with »Blessed Be« and »Paris Kills« and not only reached #1 of the single and album charts in their home country of Finland, but also plunged the world into a sinful cosmos of love, death and melancholy, while outliving any other band emerging from the goth hype of the early 2000s. By developing their sound further into sleaze rock on »Devils« (2004) and »Angels« (2007) and not shying away from pitch black Elvis allusions in singer Jyrki 69‘s dark voice and unique onstage dance moves, the band have established a worldwide following. Over the course of over three decades, the band have toured relentlessly throughout Europe, America, Asia and Australia and released 12 full-length studio albums.

Sprawling across ten lavishly dark, effortlessly cool songs, their 13th record, »Death Of Darkness« is one of their most flawless, most consistent – bearing a title that’s of course both stylish and symbolic. Just like their music. 2023 is a far cry from the early days of the new millennium when gothic rock bands emerged from every graveyard and Finnish vampires stormed the charts around the world. However, the spirit of a world-class record like »Death Of Darkness,« the sheer passion and the enticing mystery, the suspense, and the smirk, are still very much alive.
