Right in time for their 30th band anniversary, »West End« will see the light of day, so prepare for 11 up-tempo rock anthems full of heaviness, black memento mori moments and dark humour featuring several top notch guest vocalists including Cradle Of Filth‘s Dani Filth, Wednesday 13 and Beastö Blancö‘s Calico Cooper.
In addition, the Helsinki Vampires have unveiled their second single, ‘Cheyenna‘. Jyrki 69reveals the following about his lyrics:
“When I heard the demo of the song, I had the chorus for ‘Cheyenna’ immediately in my mind. It was like a wind whispering or a canyon echoing her name from the past. Who was she? A Native American princess? As I googled the name, it turned out that a lot of American girls under that name have gone missing. A female ghost rider story was born! Cheyenna is freedom’s child – forever.”
So hop on your bikes, let the engines roar and watch the official clip of ‘Cheyenna‘ here:
