The 69 Eyes Announce New EP "I Survive" Release Date; Shares Thin Lizzy Cover "Cold Sweat"

Finnish rock band The 69 Eyes is thrilled to announce the release of the new EP "I Survive," out on June 5, 2026, via BLKIIBLK.

To celebrate the announcement, the band has shared a cover of the timeless Thin Lizzy hit "Cold Sweat."

After touring Europe earlier this year with D-A-D on the Cowpunks & Glampires tour and continuing with shows in Finland, the new single is a fresh-sounding and hard-rocking take on the song, originally released in 1983.

The 69 Eyes version is produced by Erno Laitinen and mixed by Barry Pointer (Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe). The video for the song was filmed in January during the band's recent European tour. It features a cameo by Portuguese goth legend Fernando Ribeiro from Moonspell.

"A friend of mine sent me our demo of 'Cold Sweat' from over ten years ago and asked why we never released it. After hearing the demo, Gabi Hakanen, head of Vallila Music House, said this is exactly The 69 Eyes at their best. Rock for the radio!," said Jyrki 69. "Every respectable rock band also covers Thin Lizzy at some point, so now that is done as well."

Tracklisting:
1. I Survive (ft. Steve Stevens)
2. Cold Sweat
3. In The Misery
4. Devil’s Rose (ft. Ed Mundell)
