2023 saw The 69 Eyes dominating the rock scene. Not only did they play unforgettable gigs in Europe, the UK, the US and South America, including several festival appearances (Sick New World, M'era Luna, Hell & Heaven etc.) but they also released their 13th studio album, Death Of Darkness, on April 21 via Atomic Fire Records, which galvanized both fans and critics all around the world.

Thanks to their latest masterpiece, they have just been nominated for Finland's Emma Gaala (Finnish Grammy Award equivalent) in the "Best Rock" category. Emma Gaala will be held on February 17 at Metro Areena in Espoo. Fans can now vote here; for a complete list of this year's nominees, visit here.
